We travel not to escape life,
but for life not to escape us.

Are you getting real with your goals?

The truth is, all too often we let important things fall by the wayside. Our dreams. Our goals. ME-time.

What if you could pause, focus your energy on what makes you do cartwheels, and finally find clarity around your next steps while also stealing some moments for yourself?

This is what I fondly call a MEscape® – time away to recalibrate, to edit out distractions, to indulge who and what really matters.

This time away could be a staycation, a weekend city break, or a longer fulfilling getaway...

… when you want to unwind and indulge your mind and body.

… when you seek an experience that changes you in ways you aren’t aware of.

… when you want to discover a completely different world than your own.

… when you want to give something back and share your skills.

… when you want to learn and enrich your mind.

… when you want to explore in a low-impact way.

… when you just want to get the heck out of town.

Before you start freaking out or counting pennies, travel doesn’t have to be far away to be transformative! It can even be in your own backyard.

How does MEscape® coaching work?

A coach doesn’t give you the answers. A coach gives you the inspiration to run with your thoughts.

And that’s how the magic happens. Everything starts to unfold. You eavesdrop on your inner voice and listen to what it’s whispering. You hear your thoughts, ideas, plans, hopes, dreams, you name it. You say hi to yourself again.

But you need a plan.

So rather than focus on the destination, you focus on your mindset through five actionable steps:

Find your mojo. We suss out the big picture and get a feel for what you are looking to achieve during your MEscape®.

Cultivate curiosity. We do a deep dive into the why (motivation) to help you get out of your mind trap and zero in on the roadblocks that may keep you from achieving your goal(s).

Road mapping. We shape your agenda and design a blueprint to make your MEscape® happen.

Walk your talk. This is more or less a pep-talk where I cheer you on and create an accountability plan to make it easier for you to commit to your goal(s).

Now what. We reflect on the highs and lows of your MEscape® and set boundaries for going forward.

Things I know are true when you coach with me.

I bring an honest take into each session using creative strategies that inspire my clients to dream more, achieve more, and become more. Travel is simply the cherry on top to make mind-shift happen.

What I find to be true in my experience as a coach is that everyone should have a set of core values. These personal agreements steer us through our ups and downs and help us take ownership of decisions. 

I’ve thought long and hard about how I approach my role as a coach. This is how I see it:

Authenticity. Show up. Let go of who you think you’re supposed to be and embrace who you are.

Inspiration. It takes courage to shape the future. When you overcome your fears and challenges, it’s easier to help others take a leap forward toward small wins.

Believe it’s possible. A friend once commented that I always take the high road. If you look for that silver lining, anything is possible.
