My signature gifts are a blend of grounded wisdom and insightful guidance along with a healthy sense of humor – because life transitions are hard enough without taking ourselves too seriously. I create safe, welcoming spaces where people can look inward, reconnect with who they truly are and step into their next chapter with clarity and ease.

My educational journey includes a Master of Divinity from Southeastern Seminary in Wake Forest, NC, and a B.A. in Speech Communication from UNC-Chapel Hill. In recent years, I became certified as a professional coach, a Subtle Yoga instructor, and a long time teacher of chair yoga for older adults. In 2025 I joined the Charlotte Center for Mindfulness and facilitated a year-long “spiritual friendship” group on self-compassion, and I am convinced I received more than I gave. I am also a certified InterPlay leader, helping people reconnect with their mind, body and spirit through playful body wisdom. Over the years, my career has taken many forms: serving churches as a solo pastor, associate minister, and interim minister; working with an end-of-life organization as a chaplain, grief counselor, and community educator; and later stepping out on my own to offer presentations on healthy aging, caregiver support, spirituality at the end of life, and related topics. Most recently, I served as Minister of Spiritual Wellness at Southminster Community before retiring at the end of 2024. I incorporate my workshops based on my personal experiences, as I am also a caregiver.

I continue to challenge myself by taking yoga classes in which I am the oldest person in the room and have recently joined the throngs that play Pickle Ball. I am married to Ken, have two adult children of whom I am immensely proud and have a dog named Rowan who tests my patience every day.
