Hello, I’m Vivian and I love people
All I ever wanted was to become a doctor …
Then, home from my first year of college, I took a journey that started as a horseback ride that went awry, took off on a Life Flight to an ICU hundreds of miles away, and ultimately delivered me to the doorway to a different life path.
I’m still on that path.
Luckily, I recovered. And I learned a lot about change.
Since then, I’ve spent the last twenty years helping people find new ways toward better communication, continued growth, self-awareness, and clear thinking.
I’ve worked in a wide range of human services, from group facilitation and wilderness leadership, to communication, Montessori education, and social justice, which has given me a broad skill set in the field of personal potential and wellbeing.
I meet each person where they are with warmth, acceptance, and celebration of their individual journey.
In coaching, my hope is always to create a safe and engaging environment to help you clarify your own motivations and intentions to discover the wise voice within.
I hold undergraduate degrees in both Wilderness Leadership and Arts & Letters, am EAGALA certified in Equine-Assisted Growth and Learning, and am a Certified Professional Life Coach on track for international accreditation with the ICF.
Outside of work, my favorite activities take me to the Pacific Northwest’s mountains, rivers, and oceans with my family, and I’m a novice but very enthusiastic ceramicist.
