You’ve worked hard to get here. Built something real. Earned the credentials, the title, the reputation, the life you said you wanted.

And something still feels like it’s missing.

Maybe that’s a quiet restlessness you can’t quite name. Maybe it’s a growing certainty that this — whatever “this” is right now — isn’t the whole picture. Maybe a significant life event has prompted a question you haven’t fully answered yet: what do I actually want from here?

If That Resonates With You

I’ve navigated the territory. My own career journey took me from critical care nursing to law, from running a successful health care law firm to realizing that form of work – and life – didn’t fit, to eventually building this consulting and coaching practice.

Accomplished professionals and executives who wanted to make changes or build different careers or businesses found their way to me. All of that helped me design services and a program to help others do what I had to figure out largely on my own: redesign their work and life around what genuinely matters to them.

My Journey

It wasn’t always graceful — and life didn’t wait for me to get it sorted. While navigating my own path, the unexpected kept arriving: selling a professional practice, losing parents and in-laws and managing the estate matters that followed, shepherding 300 acres of family farmland into the first of several county nature preserves, helping establish a charitable foundation, and co-creating the Integrative Law movement — a now global shift toward collaborative and holistic approaches to resolving disputes.

None of it was planned. All of it was real — and had to be addressed. And all of it informed my services, program and how I help others navigate the same.

Each of those was its own reinvention. The result was something I could not have built any other way: a deep understanding of what it actually takes to make a meaningful change — not just professionally, but across a whole life — and a system to help you do it with far less time, trial and error, and personal cost than going it alone.

That system is the MASTERFUL LIFE Redesign program — designed to address what I found was missing from everything else: the whole picture.

If you’re wondering exactly how the program works, you’ll find the specifics on Your Coach.

A note on where I come from

A first-generation American — my parents were WWII Lithuanian refugees who arrived with little more than what they could carry and built a life from there — I grew up watching what hard work and sacrifice look like up close.
I’ve lived all over the country since: New York, Ohio, Michigan, Utah, Texas, and the Florida Keys. Along the way I learned, the slow and expensive way, that a full life and a fulfilling one aren’t automatically the same thing — AND that figuring out the difference need not take as long as it took me.

Today, because wellness and the environment matter to me, I split my time between the Great Lakes in summer and the Rocky Mountains in winter, with my husband Robert and our standard poodle — traveling, staying close to friends and family, doing environmental and philanthropic work I care about. Now, the professional work I love fits my life, instead of squeezing life into whatever space work leaves behind.

Some days, I’m still amazed — and grateful — that this is the actual shape of my life. That’s exactly why I do this work now — to help you get there with a lot less trial, error, and lost time than it took me
