Transformation Guide & Mentor
I help people create a life that more fully expresses who they are and what they’re here to contribute.
I see my role as a midwife to emergence: helping you recognize what is taking shape within you and supporting you as you give it expression in your life.

The story behind the work
Learning to listen
to life.
My understanding of transformation has grown through both the work I’ve done and the life I’ve lived.
My early career took me into multinational businesses, including Unilever and Nabisco, and later into humanitarian work and strategy consulting. I loved helping people see possibilities, understand complex challenges and give their ideas practical form.
When my husband Bob died in 2009, I was raising our two young sons while facing profound loss and uncertainty. I turned toward personal development, spiritual practice and questions about what it means to live a meaningful life.
That year, I founded Designing Transformation. Over time, my experience in strategy and change became part of a broader commitment: accompanying people as they reconnect with their inner wisdom, express their gifts and shape a way forward.
My own exploration continues through writing, meditation, time in nature, travel and the relationships that keep teaching me. Joy, curiosity and adventure are part of this work, alongside the deeper questions.
How I accompany you
Inner wisdom.
Meaningful expression.
Practical steps forward.
We make room for what you are experiencing and what you want to create. Your circumstances, capacity and deeper sense of direction all belong in the conversation.
Understand your life
Look at the whole picture: what matters, what feels out of alignment, what supports you and what needs attention.
Recognize what is emerging
Explore your longings, gifts and inner knowing, and the patterns that may be keeping you from moving forward.
Give it practical form
Choose a beginning, take meaningful steps and integrate what you learn into the way you live, lead and contribute.
What this work serves
“At the heart of this practice are the people I feel inspired to accompany: people who want to bring themselves more fully to life and offer what they have in service.”
That may mean shaping a new chapter, leading with greater consciousness, creating something meaningful or making more room for connection and joy. The choices we make in our own lives also shape what we offer the people and world around us.
The longer story
Love, loss
and becoming.
My memoir, Love Will Keep Us Alive, shares the personal journey behind much of this work. Writing it was another way of exploring how love continues to shape us and how a meaningful life can unfold through change.

What is asking
to come to life in you?
We can begin by understanding where you are and what matters now. The Clarity Blueprint creates a personal map for moving forward; mentoring offers continuing support as you put it into practice.
