About me

Why Peeling Birch?

Discovering Your Potential

I love hiking in the Northwoods of Wisconsin and in the deserts of the Southwest, observing the uniqueness and variety of the landscape, plants and animals. I also love the reflection of the autumn trees or the moonlight on a calm lake and the adventure that kayaking down an unknown river brings.

It’s a metaphor for our own lives. Life ebbs and flows from times of hardships to times of joy and celebration. We each bring our own uniqueness and variety to life.

At Peeling Birch Coaching, we journey together to discover your potential, draw from what is already inside of you, and unearth who you have been created to be. Together, we peel away the layers of your complex and busy life to discover you.

Peeling Birch Coaching offers life and work place coaching, nutrition, wellness and self-care support, and spiritual companionship (interspirituality). Peeling Birch Coaching provides a a safe and confidential space for you to be seen and heard.
