About

My Vision: Healthcare Professionals and others focus and flourish in Life-Work Harmony.

The world needs each of us, our talents, skills, and hearts, now more than ever. When we have inner balance, we can then serve the world in more profound ways.

Career and Life Coach

I am the founder of Simply Harmony Coaching, a small business whose mission is to help Healthcare Professionals, and other motivated individuals, experience meaning and joy in all aspects of their lives.

If you want help to rediscover joy, meaning and achievement, then let’s connect and talk it through.

Through many years of clinical and administrative nursing, business development, and performance improvement in healthcare, I’ve experienced frustration and disillusionment about business, healthcare and healing.

I’ve explored emotion and energy systems, holistic methods, and spiritual practices along the way to improve life balance and to develop natural intuition.

In myself and with clients, having a clear vision of what you want in life, taking steps to get there, and having safe and nonjudgemental support completely change the trajectory and the outcomes.

And it all works simply and harmoniously.

Becoming a coach has been a natural evolution from my nursing career. 

I have always desired to help others and to be a healing presence.

Though many healthcare providers have come into the profession to do the same, there are so many obstacles in the current day health systems that do anything but promote healing. 

I work with professionals in various fields, with a focus on supporting healthcare workers who want to maintain their ability to help others. My unique approach empowers those seeking positive change in their lives.

I believe that everything is about energy and that everyone has all the answers they need within themselves. 

The goal is to be positively focused and to regain and maintain our inner balance, which then sets in motion a more natural energy flow and harmonious state in the outer world.

This doesn’t mean there are no obstacles or challenges on the path, but it means learning how to maneuver and navigate through them, coming out on the other side stronger and wiser. 

In the words of Ralph Marston …

“You’ve done it before, and you can do it now.
See the positive possibilities.

Redirect the substantial energy of your frustration and turn it into positive, effective, unstoppable determination.”
