About
You do not have to change who you are to overcome life's challenges. Instead, learn how to tap into the strengths you already possess.
Anam Cara Lifeworks Coaching
In the ancient Celtic tradition, the term Anam Cara is a "soul friend"—a safe, wise and trusted companion who walks alongside you to help you see your true potential. If you are seeking greater clarity about your purpose, working toward meaningful goals, breaking free from negative patterns, navigating a transition, or moving forward after a difficult season, you do not have to walk alone.
At Anam Cara Lifeworks Coaching, I marry this ancient wisdom with enduring faith-based principles that supports personal growth, identifying self‑defeating thought patterns, activating inner confidence, and developing habits that equip you to live with clarity, courage, and purpose.
The Anam Cara Lifeworks Method is an exclusive system of active discovery designed to activate your God-given abilities through Conviction, Alignment, and Action. It is through this process that renewal and transformation become inevitable rather than coerced.
Foundations of the Lifeworks Method
Conviction, Alignment, and Action are three connected pillars that create the foundation for lasting renewal: knowing what is true, aligning your life with that truth, and taking disciplined action to move forward with purpose.
- Conviction — Conviction is where we clear away the lies you’ve been living under and anchor you in what is actually true about you and your life. It is the part of the work where you stop seeing yourself through a lens of circumstances, false assumptions, or the barriers in front of you, and begin to recognize the truth about your own abilities and your value. Here we break down common lies such as: “I feel like a failure,” “Maybe this is all my fault,” “Maybe this is just my life now,” or simply, “I’m stuck.”
- Alignment — Alignment is the moment when how you see yourself and your situation starts to change. It is where we break the chains of negative thinking and patterns of belief. As that happens, you begin to notice how old lies and habits have shaped your life, and your thinking starts shifting toward clarity and renewal. It is the point where the clarity of purpose and ability begin to come into focus as a realistic and tangible outcomes.
- Action — Action is where we turn that new understanding into simple, repeatable steps — routines, boundaries, and habits that keep you grounded and reduce the pull of old patterns. It is not about perfection, but about steady, forward-looking choices that show you are directing your life instead of letting circumstances and external factors run the show. At this stage, self-awareness, gratitude, and a growing trust in the truth about yourself lead to more energy, more stability, and a clearer sense of how to use your strengths well.
What Makes Anam Cara Lifeworks Coaching Different?
Every one of us has a purpose. Every one of us has gifts. Every one of us already possesses the qualities and capabilities needed to fulfill that purpose and those gifts. Whether you want to achieve your life’s goals or emerge from the abyss of traumatic life events, you do not have to change your DNA or who you are. Instead, tap into the strengths you already possess. That sounds simple, but it is always not easy.
Most of us never fully understand, much less use, our full potential. Too often we allow our environment, our past, our circumstances, and even mass media to shape our behavior and mindset. Those influences can create a cycle of negative thought patterns that undermine our ability to achieve our desired outcomes or lifestyles and live the life we want.
This is where the Anam Cara Lifeworks Method helps you identify those barriers and break free from them. But that is only the first step. The real transformation happens when you begin to discover your own uniquely gifted qualities, skills, and value, and learn how to live from that place — from the place of who you really are — so that your life becomes more prosperous and joyful. This is the moment a renewed sense of focus and purpose becomes inevitable rather than coerced. And that is why the Lifeworks Method is different because the focus is not on the coach but on you to help you extract your best versions of yourself that you already have within.
Moreover, this concept is built on experience as well as training. I have lived through many of these challenges myself, and I understand the fears, doubts, and tribulations that can make achieving life goals feel impossible. My testimony is not only that it is possible to overcome; it is that it is possible to prosper. And now I use that same path to help others do the same.
Prospective Clients
The Anam Cara Lifeworks Method is broadly relevant for people seeking greater clarity, courage, purpose, and prosperity. I’m honored to work with clients who believe I may be able to support them in reaching their goals or navigating significant challenges. While I most often focus on the client groups below, I’m also open to working with corporate partners and small business owners who are trying to maintain balance while building a healthy, functioning livelihood.
- The Lifeworks Life-Coach Experience: This path is for individuals who know they are capable of more, but feel stalled, scattered, or slowly pulled into patterns that keep them playing small. You possess real gifts and may be closer to your purposes than you realize, but your environment, past experiences, or current responsibilities have created a plateau you can’t seem to move beyond. Here we:
- Identify and dismantle self‑defeating thought patterns that keep you circling the same problems.
- Re‑anchor you in courage, clarity and purpose about your abilities and calling
- Unlock your true, innate God-gifted talents and abilities so you can pursue your goals with greater confidence and joy.
- The Lifeworks Experience for Women in Transition: This is a specialized service for women navigating relational fractures or major life disruptions, such as divorce or traumatic relationships. I also serve women’s groups, including nonprofit organizations that help women and older teens rebuild independence, strength, focus, and clarity about their life’s purpose and value. If you’re facing one of these challenges, I bring my experience and training to help illuminate the path toward a more peaceful and joyful life.
- The Lifeworks Experience for High-Achiever/Performer: This area is designed for high-achieving or high-net-worth individuals who want to identify hidden risks to their success and relationships, align personal values with professional ambition, and build the capacity for sustained high performance and personal wholeness. Your goals are different: you need to maintain sharpness and edge while strengthening business acumen and decision-making, establishing boundaries, and maximizing personal relationships that support sustainable success. This means bridging financial success with fellowship success. The Lifeworks Method is uniquely designed to help you tap into the qualities that have already driven your career success and apply them in ways that strengthen your relationships, deepen fulfillment, and support a holistic, purpose-filled life.
A Little Background About Me
I grew up in Massachusetts, the oldest of three siblings. My two younger brothers kept me on my toes helping me develop some life skills at an early age. I survived high school before taking the traditional path to college. After an illness forced me to miss part of my second semester, I struggled to find direction. I fell into a cosmetology world eventually starting my own business in Maryland. I married and divorced over a nine year period overcoming an extremely harmful relationship. However, I've been blessed to raise two beautiful children - one of which is in high school and the other middle school. I've also expanded my understanding of how living through Faith in Christ and his teachings can foundationally renew and transform the mind to experience a more prosperous life.
My Path to Coaching
In building my coaching philosophy and program, I did not need to go on an enlightenment tour to the Far East. I learned these concepts by living through them. Over time, I purposely in some ways and unintentionally in others overcame many of the same life challenges that countless people face day to day. I have been where some of my clients are, and in many cases I have faced even more difficult circumstances I pray no one ever has to experience. What I now coach others through is born from my own experience.
From losing my direction after high school and navigating toxic relationships to surviving an abusive marriage and raising two children as a single parent for over a decade—having to rely on external support—I have continuously moved forward through circumstances that easily could have broken me. During that time, I also fought to keep my small business alive as a cosmetologist and salon owner. I have been where some of my clients are, and in many cases I have been in even harder places. Those experiences did not just shape who I am; they also taught me how to help others emerge from what feels insurmountable and step out of chaos into a more stable life.
Over the years, it became increasingly clear that many of the people who sat in my salon were receiving more than hair care. They were receiving the early version of what would eventually become the Anam Cara Lifeworks Method. I was already coaching them through the same kinds of fears, doubts, transitions, and obstacles that I had already faced myself. Eventually, it became unmistakable that one of my gifts had not yet been fully realized. Now that gift has a name, a method, and a purpose: to help others recognize their own abilities, live from that place, and pursue a life of abundance, prosperity, and greater wholeness.
