Life Coaching

What is 💖 Loving-On-Purpose life coaching?

You may be feeling overwhelmed by life. Yet you are already a success in who you are, a unique and wonderous creation, never to be repeated. All you need is a bit more matching of who you are with how you show up in the world. That takes vulnerability and courage.

I was a Catholic parish priest for 32 years and I’ve seen it all! As a life coach and spiritual director I can help you make the shift you’ve always wanted. Together we’ll slay those inner Saboteurs that steer you away from happiness and joyous positivity! You can move into the next phase of your life with renewed confidence, greater love for yourself and others, and a balance between play and work, which will renew your spirit.

I grew up insecure and isolated, feeling as if I were an alien on a strange planet! Making friends was difficult for me and being bullied and misunderstood was a frequent occurrence.

I thought I’d become a dentist; instead, I went to seminary to be a parish priest. In 32 years I strove to make the Church a better place for all. I often fell short. Eventually I decided to leave ministry and start anew as a life coach and spiritual director. I had a passion for one thing: to help others through tough times and to find joy in being themselves.

I moved from Boston to Tampa for the weather!! What is your burden? How have you been judging yourself as “not enough?” Let’s get together for a complimentary discovery session and begin to fulfill your dreams.
