when we let go of who we think we should be
we become more of who we are
Stepping onto a path bathed in moonlight; watching a river sparkle under a full moon—
reconnect with that feeling through the Inner Wilderness Guide Experience.
Fear fades as you delight in the presence, peace and power of forgotten strengths, dreams and accomplishments.
A genuine sense of renewal takes hold as obstacles of everyday life fall away to illuminate our be real—find freedom self.
Welcome to the IWG Experience
A curiosity-infused adventure where insight meets action, I use a customized creative, free-range approach to make it easier and more fun, for you to be on your side, to show up for and as yourself.
perfection not required
I have a rock solid belief in your SHiNE
My hunch is you’re a busy, creative person overflowing with interests, ideas and ambitions you want to bring to life. You have a lot of empathy and give more than you take. You want to be seen, heard and able to authentically express yourself.
Sound familiar?
To be seen and heard starts with us.
Learning how to acknowledge ourselves without inner bully pushback, unkindness or harsh judgement takes time and practice. We have to unlearn beliefs that hold us trapped in old stories.
Life crud happens. We can get stuck in the messy middle of it all.
Setting ourselves free isn’t easy but it’s easier than we think.
You see, the messy middle exists for good reason. Where else do we stash the bits and pieces of all the human-ing we do? The creating, struggling, learning, dreaming, yearning—the unlearning, letting go and the awkward growing pains?
Think of this as treasure mess, not treasure-less.
Reframe the messy middle from a NO, BUT to a Yes AND place where we get to wrangle, untangle and tease out soul threads pulls us back to ourselves.
We get to acknowledge fear and frustrations AND take aligned action that shifts us into gear.
Transitions are less jarring. Change becomes less scary. You get to move from where you are to where you want to be in a most soul-satisfying way.
How does the IWG Experience help make this happen?

We don’t follow a curriculum or rigid agenda. You talk, I listen.
If a detour is needed, no problem. We zig, we zag and spiral Upward, following the markers that pull your soul toward wholehearted success.
Knowing you feel seen, heard, and supported to express yourself in a way that YOU value is important.
