WHO I AM
I am a woman with a disability but I am NOT a disabled woman. I am an entrepreneur, a devoted wife, a loyal friend and a passionate advocate for others living with chronic illness or disability.
My disability is just one component of my VERY full life. It will NEVER define who I am or my potential in life. I’ve proven through my own life experience that you CAN go from being flat on your ass with your health and your career to creating a whole new pace for your life that nurtures optimal health & sustainable career success.
As a result, I’ve become a Life & Business Coach so that I can teach other women living with chronic illness or disability how to achieve the same transformation in their health, their lifestyle and their financial potential.
Further, I’ve become a Disability Awareness Coach so that I can leverage my health challenges with authenticity and credibility to advocate for the elimination of barriers to social, health care, educational & economic opportunities; in turn empowering people with disabilities.
MY PASSIONS
As a Life & Business Coach, my passion in life is to motivate and empower people living with chronic illness or disability to unleash their full potential. My goal is to help them define and achieve their maximum life in spite of a chronic health condition that challenges them on a daily basis. My instinctive ability to see passions, abilities and talents in people and reflect those assets back empowers them to see themselves in a more positive light. This always leads to growth in their confidence and self-image.
I have a wide range of experiences in the world of business and social services. I’ve been a credit manager, a computer specialist, an administrator, an entrepreneur, a volunteer coordinator, and a strong advocate for people affected by multiple sclerosis.
As a person with multiple sclerosis myself, I bring a personal commitment to the work I do. I have learned how to keep MS relapses at bay, for the most part, through profound lifestyle changes and by minimizing stress and its effects on my life.
WHAT I DO
I teach people living with chronic illness or disability how to find passion in their lives and maximize their quality of life while they optimize the state of their health. I also teach entrepreneurs who have health challenges how to honour and accommodate their health while driving their business to new levels of sustainable success.
Having battled depression for most of my life, it’s never been easy but through a high level of self-awareness, proper treatment and a healthy attitude I have managed to live a very joyful and rewarding life.
I’ve been providing support counseling and coaching support to people with multiple sclerosis and other types of disabilities since shortly after my diagnosis of MS back in 1993. I also do motivational speaking on living well with chronic illness for various health organizations internationally.

WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU
I am a staunch advocate and a passionately committed Coach. I empower my clients to become powerful self-advocates by giving them the shortcuts they need to skip through the learning curve. If you’ve recently been diagnosed and are feeling lost and powerless or even if you’ve lived with disability or illness for more years than you’d like to recall, I’m here to tell you that there is hope and there definitely is help. The only things you need are a desire to get more out of life and a willingness to reach out and connect with me. If you have those two criteria nailed, then let’s set up a complimentary coaching session for you and get started on the rest of your life!
Till then, take self-care seriously & God bless.
