For years—since 2018—I’ve felt a pull to expand my work beyond the therapy room and step into coaching.

Maybe it’s an age related thing having just turned 65 or because I’ve had some mobility issues, 2 major ankle surgeries this year but by letting go and choosing activities that bring me joy I am finding life is easier and happier.
