**Life gets fun - can’t celebrate without a drink in your hand
**You don’t want to feel every damn feeling

When I started questioning my drinking, I desperately wanted to know that I wasn’t alone. I needed a support structure when I first began to notice that my drinking was getting out of control, but I wasn’t ready to quit drinking. If I had a coach guiding me through what I now know were limiting thoughts and beliefs about my drinking and my life, I may not have had to hit my rock bottom. Friday the 13th of March, 2009 was a really bad day, which pretty much ended with a bang. Thank God my lack of skills with a gun prevented me from killing myself. I realized that my drinking had become unpredictable. I thought my life was over and I would never have fun again. What I soon learned was I was standing at the intersection of desperation and grace. In 2015, on my 58th birthday I was diagnosed with Stage 1C ovarian cancer. During chemo, I lost my hair but I found something so much more important – my inner strength. My perspective changed and I realized that if I wanted something different in my life it was up to me to make the necessary changes. My mantra became "I didn't get sober and survive cancer to be miserable." I began training for my new career in 2017. I’m a Certified Wayfinder Life Coach through Martha Beck, Inc., a Certified Equus Coach® through Koelle Institute for Equus Coaching®, as well as a Certified Mind-Body-Eating Coach through The Institute for the Psychology of Eating. These intensive training programs have given me the tools to effectively and compassionately help women face their challenges. I partner with my clients to bring transformational change to their lives. Dragonflies represent spiritual growth through change and transformation. Those who identify with the dragonfly often possess many unique abilities, and often bring change to their immediate worlds and far beyond. I want to help women globally transform their lives by really examining their thoughts and beliefs. Many women are conditioned to believe things that are simply not true. My clients become aware of how their thoughts affect their lives. If we're not conscious of our negative thoughts, we are imprisoned by them. Let the power of the dragonfly inspire your transformation! Because of all the challenges and changes that I've been through, you can see why the dragonfly resonates with me so much. My experience with alcohol and cancer, together with the valuable training I've received, gives me the expertise, compassion and skill to guide my clients on their journey of exploration and empowerment. My mantra is, I didn't get sober and survive cancer to be miserable. I have found my voice, sometimes to my husband's chagrin! I'm a feisty Irish/Scottish woman of a certain age who has the tendency to talk like a sailor (I used to drink like one.) I’m a proud feminist who believes in equal rights for all. I wear a bracelet that states “Wake Up-Kick Ass-Repeat” which I try to live up to. Most days I do, sometimes I don’t. But that’s life—one step at a time. Progress not perfection. I love hanging out with my husband Jimmy, and our two rescued Westies, Maggie and Tommy. Are you ready to transform your life? One of the things I've learned over the years is that it's really easy to get “stuck in the f**king muck.” And, if you are able to change your thoughts, you can get out of said muck. This has happened to me time and time again. As long as I do the work and get out of my head, I'm so much better off. I can change my story. I can teach you exactly how to do this. I help women everyday overcome unhealthy beliefs, habits, behaviors and addictions by learning how to get out of their own f**king way. I can help you change your story, too. If you're struggling with over-drinking, you're not alone. For instance, research shows that alcohol use and misuse especially among women is on the rise. Drinking has become so much a part of the female code we aren’t even aware of how prevalent it is, or the damage it’s creating. So many of us hesitate to acknowledge that we struggle with alcohol because we're afraid of being judged. After working with me you will identify your personal goals and you'll be using the tools and strategies that I've taught you. You can make a DECISION to change your behavior (or not), and love the reason for doing so. You can finally stop stressing out over how to move forward in your life so that you can feel greater joy, happiness and freedom in your life every day. You are worth this work and I believe in you! Day One or One Day...it's up to you. Life Coaching…

I work with each client to identify their personal goals and explore your relationship with yourself. I will teach you my favorite tools and strategies to cope with life's challenges differently. Utilizing these tools and strategies will give you a deeper understanding of why you do what you do. You'll be able to make DECISIONS, and love the reasons why you made them. You will finally stop stressing out over how to move forward. You will feel greater confidence, joy and freedom. Equus Coaching®

This is great for someone who wants a unique experience that offers the opportunity to gain a deep understanding of how their inner dialog affects their relationships and everyday life. Horses rely on having a “connection” to other herd members and the humans around them – this connection only becomes available when the human is centered, focused, and free from the often-incessant chatter in our minds. The exercise of quieting the mind, accepting peaceful focus, and allowing an upwelling of instinct and emotion is actively, physically confirmed by the horse. Once connection is established, a world of opportunity for introspection, validation and self-acceptance opens up. It is a transformational experience and it can be great fun. Currently, these sessions are held only in Colorado, but are well worth designing your vacation around! Amazing Outlook Coaching, LLC
