Meet Annette

My journey of self-discovery began from a profound period of grief, stress and loss.  I lost both of my parents in a short period of time while juggling a career, a marriage and 2 young children.  I realized that while taking care of so many others, I had truly lost myself.  I knew with certainty that something had to change but had no idea where to start.

Like many, I ignored this feeling for many years, trying not to listen to the voice inside telling me to seek peace and purpose. 

Many factors led me to finally achieve the balance I wanted and needed, but the most profound difference maker came with my Chopra Well-Being certifications. 

Equipped with my learnings, I am now able to…

  • Navigate through the messy parts of life more easily and with more resilience

  • Look at my challenges as opportunities for growth and self discovery

  • Avoid stuffing my feelings or needs down, or getting caught up in downward spirals of sadness, self-doubt or negative self-talk

  • Fully accept myself and exercise self compassion

  • Question my thoughts, feelings and story-making to determine if I can look at them through a new lens

  • Steer away from old patterns that don’t serve the life I want to create

  • See the future full of so many possibilities

Does this kind of mindset appeal to you?

My Coaching Style

“What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” ~ Mary Oliver

Life can be messy and change and be scary and difficult. I take a personalized approach to helping you navigate life’s changes in a way that activates your unique strengths, characteristics and talents. I believe you have something beautiful to offer the world.

Transformational coaching is my opportunity to help you navigate change and life transitions with clarity, while grounded in who you are at your core, creating a felt sense of confidence and empowerment.

I have a unique ability to hold space for others and deeply listen, not just to the words, but what is really being said.  I am very curious about other’s experiences and can see the bigger picture with great intuition.

As your coach, I will hold you in unconditional positive regard.  I will create presence, I will listen, I will reflect, ask insightful questions and help hold you accountable to creating a path for your life that is true to who you are right now and the life you dream to create.

Are you ready?

My Background

Prior to pursuing my transformational coaching career, I spent 20 years in the corporate world, including 13 years at Microsoft and independent consulting at Viacom International, Paramount Pictures and Victoria Clipper.  My career has been rooted in human resources, specializing in leadership development, talent and organizational development, career coaching and change management. 

Watching others realize their pure potential brings me great joy and satisfaction.  My coaching practice is a wonderful culmination of my corporate and life experience, and I am grateful to be able to help people bring their unique purpose, talents, and capabilities into the world.

  • Kate W.

    "Annette has helped guide me to a whole energy shift and way of thinking about who I am and what is my greater purpose. Her insights and ability to challenge me with kindness and safety allowed me to better understand my strengths. She helped break down challenges in manageable ways and kept me accountable in ways that felt safe and unique to my needs.

    Her coaching is exactly what I didn't know I needed!"

  • Nicole H.

    “I am at an age when I am wedged between so much loss - loss of my daughter to her adulthood independence and the loss of my mother to whatever lies beyond this world. I've spent much of my life giving counsel to others but I was truly at a loss for how to move through this phase of my life. Annette provided thoughtful and careful wisdom by listening to understand who I am and what I needed, and by asking questions that allowed me to arrive at my own answers. I am a tough customer when it comes to subscribing to the heart-mind-body synergy and particularly to the idea of "energy" as we both give and receive it in our lives. Annette was able to break through this armor with patience and without judgment. With her gentle and loving guidance, I have the tools to help me stay clear and grounded in what matters in my life.”

Motivation comes from within — and I’m here to help you activate it.
