My Work

Empowerment and Leadership Coach - Relationship Expert

Clear, confident, and empowered!

A relentless trainer and coach, I coach, educate and inspire you to be the leader of your life, and I encourage you to use the art of communication and self-knowledge to manifest love, passion, peace, abundance and success in your relationship and your life.

Here is what I uncovered!

Self-awareness, self-care and self-love is a must to show up in this world as a contributor and leader; it is not a luxury, it is a must. Only when you are rested, fulfilled and totally satisfied can you give to others, to your husband, to your wife, to your family and to your job. In a state of stress and exhaustion, in a state of helplessness or frustration you cannot give. In fact, when exhausted you may be resigned and accusative, and excuses and complaints are the result.

The most common reasons for relationship failure is;  you do not KNOW what you need; you do not SAY what you need; and you do not know HOW TO SAY what you need.

The result is frustration, resentment, anger and feeling unloved. Conflict is the result of that. In my experience, good marriages and relationships fall apart for that very reason.  

You may feel hurt, sad and lonely, and you may not know why. You may be complaining in your head, thinking that your partner does not understand or not care. Or you may express your needs in a tone that expresses anger and deepens the pain even further. That is the beginning of upset and resentment.

You are now lonely and frustrated, and you feel unheard, stuck and unappreciated. Unresolved and unspoken conflict is often the reason.

You are now stuck in limbo.

Here is the thing, if you are not expanding, learning and shifting, you are drifting, in fact you are drifting apart. What is unsaid becomes unbearable over time and you collapse under the burden. Burnout or divorce is inevitable.

My marriage of 33 years, my divorce and the profound lessons I learned during my transformative and intensive years of training as a coach and leader, along with the many years of coaching women and men after that, have prepared me to be the relationship expert I am today.

My methodology is easy, efficient and effective. 

It takes a coach to speak to your reality, to shake up old patterns and help you uncover what you cannot see. A coach, I invite you to learn unique new relationship and communication skills that have the power to transform your relationship, all your relationships.

If your partner has checked out, if he has given up, I am asking you to take the reins into your hands and reclaim your relationship. Give your marriage a chance! Commit to working with a coach!

I was born and raised in the mountains of Switzerland. At a young age I married the love of my life and together we created an adventurous, rich and beautiful life, first in different countries in South America and then New York, where we raised our 3 sons. We divorced after 33 years, just when life was getting easy. I am so clear now that we did not have the skills and the tools to make our relationship last a lifetime.

Today, together with my new husband, I have created my new life in the mountains of Colorado, enjoying my relationship, family, outdoor adventures, music, art, travel, hobbies, and my career as a coach. I am fulfilled, happy and living the life of my dreams.

I want this for you too!
