About me

My oldest son, Johnny, died suddenly and unexpectedly in 2005 when he was 17 years old. My life, as I knew it, was shattered, along with my heart. I tumbled the waves in an ocean of grief for years, occasionally and briefly landing on islands of gratitude.

Years later, after much long hard grieving and life work, I realized to my amazement that I now lived primarily in an ocean of gratitude - landing occasionally on the familiar and painful islands of grief. So goes my life. I am thankful for every second I had with Johnny and for every second I live today. And I will always and forever miss him.

In addition to serving as a LIFE, GRIEF & WELLNESS COACH, I also serve as a certified End-of-Life Coach and Sacred Passage Doula. I am a mother of three sons, a lawyer, Founder and Executive Director of MotherLOVE, devoted yogini, professional writer, ardent traveler, scuba diver -snorkeler- and enthusiast - of all things “ocean,” endless volunteer, and lover of life and humanity.
