About Me and my Work
I am a Storyographer - a storyteller, story collector and the voice for so many stories that need to be told. The fundamental reason I do my work is because I deeply believe that Being Alive is an Art and that each one of us is responsible for creating our own masterpiece an expression of who we are. My life’s work is to activate this mindset. Captivated by the organic flow and freedom of intuitive creativity and creative expression, I invite others to join me in this realm through my workshops, coaching/mentoring, books and speaking.
As a Certified Master Creativity Coach, licensed Nia Instructor, Certified ARTbundance™ Coach and Practitioner, I share my creative passion and playful spirit. I guide individuals through a delightful and revealing process that enables them to create extraordinary shifts in their lives and to remember and reclaim what once made them feel vital and alive.
In helping people discover that Being Alive is an Art™, I incorporate three primary pillars: personal storytelling, creative experiments, and engagement through the senses.

In helping people discover that Being Alive is an Art™, I incorporate three primary pillars: personal storytelling, creative experiments, and engagement through the senses.
- Storytelling is a learned skill and vital to the understanding of others and ourselves. Our stories matter, and we can learn to feel them deeply, write them exquisitely, and present them bravely.
- Creative Experiments are easy, non-threatening ways to explore your creative edges.
- Sensory Engagement involves experiencing life deeply through the senses to engage life in a meaningful and delicious way.

MORE ABOUT THE THREE PILLARS
When the Art of Being Alive mindset is activated, the result is fearless, confident people who live their lives fully and do not hold back in expressing themselves in the world, in whatever form that might take. When someone is fully engaged in his or her life, the result is a life and legacy that is rich and limitless. This is why I am passionate about these tools and their remarkable results.
More About Storytelling
Storytelling is the base of how we organize our thoughts and experiences in order to communicate and connect. Since we are all constantly telling stories to ourselves and each other, I help bring an awareness to our sense of agency in telling stories. I help people access their personal life stories, and not only remember them, but express them. I teach people that they not only have stories of value, but they also have the power to make choices in the way they tell their stories – whether it’s a memory from the past, an observation in the present, or a wish for the future. Storytelling is full of choices – perspective, voice, conflict, resolution – and committing to these choices is just as powerful as the story itself.
More About Creative Experiments
Creative experiments are easy, non-threatening ways that I invite people to try new things in both ordinary and extraordinary ways. It might be as simple as wearing a boldly patterned scarf or taking a different route on a drive to work. Or it could be making a first step toward a dream, taking a stand for yourself or something you believe in, or tap-dancing atrociously.
More About Sensory Engagement
Sensory engagement is the opening to our life source – body, mind and soul. It is the practice of mindfulness in the present moment and is the antidote to being on autopilot or conforming to the trance of busy modern-day life. It is slowing down and savoring each moment. When mindfulness is easy and automatic it opens the pathway to create the mindset of Being Alive is an Art.
