Match Made In Heaven.
I believe it is not an accident that you found this website. Whether you’ve been praying, visualizing, affirming, setting intentions and goals, or asking for a sign that points toward someone or something to hold sacred space as you walk your path...you found your way to Co-Creative Mentoring. I love that we attracted each other! What I have to offer could change your life. I offer my gifts and talents with joy and delight because I love what I do! My natural gifts and talents, unique teachings, and life experiences can provide the transformation that you’re seeking for your growth at this point on your path, and so it’s a win…win for both of us! We’re an energetic "match made in heaven”. You may have heard the proverb "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear" which is often attributed to Buddha (although according to some sources, he actually didn’t say that). I think that it works the other way, too. “When the teacher is ready, the student will appear”. Many Paths. Many Truths. I'm a life-long learner and seeker who has lived a few lifetimes in this life. I have a natural curiosity about the ways we are unique and the ways we share a common bond. I incorporate what I've learned from different teachers and perspectives, from a rich lifetime of experiences, from formal and informal education into my personal and professional life. I'm not "preachy" about my perspectives and philosophies and welcome conversations about the paths I've chosen. I would love to hear about your path and what matters to you! In my travels to Israel, India, Tibet, Thailand and in the States, I observed that most teachers believe that their paths are the best, right, and only way to achieve peace, well-being, or enlightenment. I've come to appreciate that many paths lead to the same destination, each one using a different road map. We are fortunate that we have access to so many different "truths" to explore and help us find our own truth. I think this is a win-win situation. I particularly appreciate this quote: |

Co-Creating Containers.
Being a mentor, coach, and teacher carries a lot of responsibility. Clients and students rightfully count on me to be
an "expert" in the modalities I use and the subjects I teach. They sometimes have the expectation that I'll do all the
"heavy lifting" involved in their growth and learning, i.e., I pour all my "wisdom" into their brains while they passively
receive the knowledge or I'll be an expert in their lives and tell them what to do next. That just doesn't work for them
or me. As a student and as a client, I learned how to learn from instructors, mentors, and coaches who invited me
to be an active, engaged partner in my learning and personal growth process. They modeled respect for my
process and helped build my self-confidence which led to trusting myself, my inner wisdom, in the process. As an
instructor and mentor, I set out to co-create an experiential and dynamic learning environment, containers, in which
clients, students and I thrive, grow, learn, and realize our potential to simultaneously be the best possible student
and mentor and teacher for ourselves and each other. We learn to learn from each other. Partnering with you on
your journey of self-acceptance is at the heart of Co-Creative Mentoring.
I want for you what you want for yourself...to remember and appreciate your brilliance, embrace the miraculous
being you are, and find your place in the world. Together, let's tap into your resources and choices!
