StepWise Coaching was born of my professional experience and my personal journey.  Before starting as a coach, I worked for eighteen years in science education, professional development, evaluation, management and environmental science. I have found that I most enjoy my work when I am helping people envision what they would like to accomplish, supporting people to succeed outside of their comfort zone, developing action plans to make the vision a reality, and determining if we are successful.  This is what I get to do as a personal and environmental coach.

It is a joy to me to help people build a great life that reflects who they really are, with the time and space to enjoy the important things in life, great relationships and a sense of financial and personal abundance. This strong foundation provides the launching pad to accomplish and experience more than you ever thought possible.

Increasingly, people are learning to live more environmentally-friendly lifestyles.  My own awareness grew out of my environmental work at the University of Colorado.  After calculating my carbon footprint in 2006 I realized my life did not sufficiently reflect my values.  Since then we have cut our carbon emissions, changed our diet, our transportation and many other aspects of our lives. We are increasing our self-sufficiency by learning to grow our food and increasing the productivity of our suburban yard.  We take steps to make our lifestyle more sustainable every day.

All of this works together to build a life that is satisfying, financially secure, healthy for us and the rest of our world, and abundant. That is the meaning of true sustainability.

I look forward to talking with you.
