I believe that nurtured people change the world. Whether in my role as a coach, consultant, facilitator, speaker, or trainer, I offer an encouraging presence, calm reassurance, and helpful support. 

I provide a nurturing witness for whatever you are doing, driving, or dreaming. I hold space for you to find your way, reconnect with what motivates you, and deepen your skills so that you can do the amazing work you are meant to do in this world.

A Poem: Moon Mother

A Poem: Moon Mother

Today we celebrate 29 years of reunion. As a person adopted as an infant (four days old) in a closed adoption, I searched for and met my extended birth family when I was 23. Poetry became one way that I navigated those early years that ran deep with emotions. This week I will share a variety of poems written in that timeframe that still resonate today. And to also celebrate the Full Moon, here is the poem, Moon Mother.

Barb does a fantastic job providing a safe environment to ideate, dream, question, and brainstorm opportunities and solutions for personal growth. She is superb in listening and synthesizing ideas into a cohesive collection that is energizing and empowering. I highly recommend Barb for both career coaching and coaching in areas of personal growth. She inspires the great adventure of self-discovery and growth!

Barbara has been my coach for many months and has been a bedrock voice as I consider my options for the future. She heard my words, parsed through what I said, identified what I was most passionate about and intuited other meanings and unspoken goals. I was blown away at her insight and it helped me identify and then refine what I really wanted to do. She also brought new ideas to the conversation that I hadn’t considered but that were spot on with the world that I saw for myself. – invaluable! I highly recommend Barbara as a coach to help you bring out the possibilities in your future.
