I believe that nurtured people change the world! I recently transitioned from a corporate technology career to become a certified coach for mid-career professionals and working parents. I'm also a former doula who now provides consulting-style childbirth education for expecting parents. While I no longer attend births, I continue to bring my doula presence to my coaching and teaching work. Whether you are a first time parent, returning to work after a break, or adjusting your career goals as your children grow, each phase brings its own challenges and changes. It can be easy to feel overwhelmed, unsure, drained, or doubtful of our ability to succeed. As the "doula coach" by your side, I can help you manage inner critics, stay motivated, and replenish energy so you can bring your dreams to life and honor you who are becoming as a person, a parent, and a professional. In 20 years at Microsoft (9 roles, 27 managers, lots of change!!), I developed expertise in program management, executive communication, and employee engagement.
