About Gentle Strength

Gentlestrength Coaching was born from the combination of compassion, grace, and tenderness, supported by resilience, durability, and unshakeable strength! I've had to walk the walk to talk the talk!!!

After years of personal transformation—physically, emotionally, financially and spiritually—I realized that the most meaningful growth comes when we stop hiding parts of ourselves that so deeply want to be expressed, stop listening to the negative voice inside yourself that says "You can't", "You're not good enough" or "Success in doing what you love" or "Living your life fully", is for other people."

Living my best life started when I listened to the voice that said, "I can", " I will",  "I need", and "I want!"

When you book a discovery call with me,  you will learn how I transformed from a model/actor to an esthetician/massage therapist, to a professional dog handler, and currently a Life/Wellness Coach. I say "currently" because I know there is always more!  More to learn, more to explore, more to allow...!

It's been an unorthodox path with a number of highs and some devastating lows. You will hear my stories of celebrity clients and a luxury lifestyle that ended in bankruptcy, along with a relationship of 20 years that ended in loneliness... but I never gave up hope and knew in the back of my mind, transformation is never-ending and never limited!

With coaching, you will learn that we often get stuck in the past. We recycle bad habits and lose focus on the future, but the future is now!

Self-awareness and habit change will empower you through! Reframing your perspective when things feel stale and burdening, creating action plans, and committing to accountability bring lasting change, and it's never too late!

Why I Do It

I knew I wasn't the only one who felt I had to play roles to fit in, to be seen and heard.

For years, I shaped my life around what I thought others wanted to see, hiding parts of myself, silencing my own needs, and settling for “good enough.” It wasn’t until I began the work on expressing my needs, transforming my health, and speaking my truth that I realized how much of my life I had been holding back.

I do this work because I’ve been there.
I know the courage it takes to change, rebuilding your identity, creating healthier habits, or simply finding your place in the world. I believe no one should have to take that journey alone.

Gentlestrength exists so that you can experience the freedom, clarity, and self-acceptance that come from living unapologetically as yourself. I’m here to walk alongside you, to listen without judgment, and to help you see the strength that’s already within you.

I have a saying, "Putting your needs first isn't selfish, it's selfless! If you don't care for yourself, you can't extend yourself to others!
