"Happiness is not a station you arrive at, but a manner of travelling." - Margaret Lee Runbeck

Welcome to Forward Momentum Life Coaching.  I am excited to be your coach and to have you as a client and look forward to partnering with you.

What is coaching?
The relationship between coach and client is co-creative, meaning that we will work together as equals in an active role to maximize your potential and produce significant results.  Coaching is based on the principle that you are a healthy and well-balanced individual but, like many people, haven’t achieved all that you want to in your life.  Coaching is about self-empowerment in identifying, strategizing and implementing changes and solutions to help you create forward momentum towards your goals.

What is the role of a coach?
To listen openly and actively, ask questions that help you clarify your vision and goals, explore your own wisdom and help you come to your own personal understandings.  I can offer different perspectives, will hold you accountable for what you say you will do and offer my support and encouragement in your decisions and choices in the path YOU choose for yourself.  I believe in YOU and trust YOU to make your own decisions.  I travel the road along side you.

How is coaching different from counseling or consulting?
As a coach, I don’t diagnose or treat anything.  I won’t solve your problems for you or do the work for you.  I don’t judge or “fix” you or give you any legal, professional or medical advice.  Although I have some standard practices that may help you on your journey, every client is an individual and has their own goals, visions and answers.  I will help you discover your authentic self, wisdom and resources you can use to succeed and create your ideal life. You will take responsibility for your actions.

Who are your typical clients?
My clients are busy professionals, stay-at-home moms or dads, people in their 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, 50’s or older.  They are successful in their careers, have wonderful families and friends and are happy, healthy individuals.  What they all have in common is that they are facing relocation or have recently moved to a new city, state or country and are experiencing the normal stresses, emotions, challenges and adventures of moving and are feeling lost, literally and figuratively.  They are excited about their new location or are unhappy about the move.  Or maybe, they are just so overwhelmed with the move itself, they haven’t taken to time to think about their feelings.  They all want to make the relocation as smooth as possible for themselves and their families and discover the great opportunities that await them at their new address.

Who is NOT a good candidate for coaching?
Coaching will not work for you if you are not willing to work to achieve your desired outcome.

What does your coaching program include?
Initially we will clarify your overall visions and goals.  Each session will then focus on a specific topic or issue of your choice. Together, we will uncover the most direct road to get you from here to there, identify speed bumps and pot holes, create strategies for overcoming the obstacles and find a new route to keep us on target. Most coaching is done over the telephone.  If you currently reside in Phoenix and prefer face-to-face sessions, that can be arranged. I currently offer several coaching packages and will be happy to discuss any custom and group programs to suit your needs.  

How do I know if coaching is for me?
I offer a 30 minute complementary session so both you and I can determine if we are a good fit.  Give me a call at 480-766-2884 so we can schedule a convenient time for you to experience a coaching session. Please contact me directly to talk about your options by emailing me at or
