Hi, I’m Barbara. My life journey has been an unusual adventure! Starting my childhood growing up in an orphanage from age 3-8, I was intensely aware of the basic human desire to belong. What I felt then, and what I learned along my journey has opened up to me the world of surviving, growing, transforming, healing, and blossoming. I have had deeply impactful spiritual experiences that led to my book: MIGHTY INSPIRATION, Love Letters from God. 

Along the way I have experienced love, loss, marriage, divorce, motherhood, and the gift of grandchildren too. I have been a stay-at-home mom, a part-time employee, and a full-time working mom. I have been an administrator and a manager. All of these things have strengthened my ability to connect with others and to deepen my insights into how to go beyond what life throws at me to creating a life that I truly love to live.  I want that for my clients as well!

From a career standpoint I have 35+ years experience as an HR business partner and master trainer for a leading Fortune 500 global corporation. My various roles gave me the opportunity to work with and develop global leaders and employees at all levels. I built mastery in understanding people, how their mind works, what motivates them to behave, communicate, and transform their lives and careers. I equipped myself with many certifications and trainings. I followed my passions to create several global legacy programs that included both diversity of ability and diversity of thinking styles. That work resulted in recognition and multiple awards inside and outside of the company. My career was a perfect training ground for my current work as an inspirational leadership and life coach for individuals and teams. 

I also deeply love helping couples create their new family by officiating their wedding ceremony. I often say that this privilege and responsibility lights up my soul!  It is for that reason that I offer wedding officiating and couple’s coaching as a part of my life’s vocation.
