My Journey

Tune In.

My interest in emotional and physical well-being didn’t happen overnight.

Prior to founding Permission to Pause™ and CW Coaching, I gained experience in different industries and thought of myself as a Jane-of-all-trades, dabbling in commercial real estate, then the growing coffee industry, and finally joining the family business in the motorcycle industry. During those 20-years with a focus on career, I felt this pull from deep within that something was missing. By all outward appearances, I had it all, and felt tremendous guilt when this nagging feeling kept showing up.

Because I felt guilty, (why should I be so unhappy? I’ve “got it all”?), I tuned out that pull, that unease, until one day, I could tune it out no longer. Something in me broke. But instead of breaking down, I allowed myself to break open. And through this opening, I was able to tune in and get clear. Clear on my life, on my physical health and emotional wellbeing.

Take Pause.

I needed a reset, a time to take pause.

I sold my business, and this is when my true journey into emotional and physical wellbeing began. Initially, I studied yoga, challenged myself physically and mentally by summiting Mt. Rainier followed by Mt. Kilimanjaro, and began to ease into my own truths - some hard and others beautiful. One of these beautiful truths was a deep understanding that our fullest and healthiest lives come through the alignment of our mind (intentions) + body (health) + spirit (emotional wellbeing). Once this clicked for me and I saw how it began to change my life, I knew I had to share this with others.

Transform.

This is my life-long journey and inspiration for founding my health coaching practice. My mission is to help brilliant, creative women like yourself achieve what you’ve always wanted to accomplish with your health and in your life – but had nearly given up on.

I hope to inspire, turn on, and nurture new levels of thinking and living and my promise is to help guide you toward transforming change into advantageous choice with healthful accountability, and energetic support.

Let’s find your beautiful truths together.
