About The Guiding Crow

The Guiding Crow

I have always loved birds, especially crows, which happens to be one of my spirit animals.  I came up with the name, The Guiding Crow, because of the love of crows and what they represent.  Often crows get a bad reputation, but it turns out that crows represent many positive characteristics.  Some of the best qualities that crows represent are rebirth and self reflection, which is what my clients experience during my coaching sessions.  So, let the guiding crow help direct you toward a rebirth, a more whole and fulfilled life.

My Journey:

How I became a Coach & Reiki Healer

​

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT COACHING

After working in the education field for 25+ years, I realized something was missing in my life.  My whole life I’ve helped Preschool aged children all the way to college aged adults and have enjoyed it immensely, however; I felt I had a yearning to help people in a different way, from a different angle, through a different lens. 

 

I was teaching at Hofstra University the summer of 2012 when I met a fellow teacher who happened to also be a Certified Health Coach.  We got to know each other throughout the summer and I ended up “life coaching” her through some obstacles she was experiencing without even realizing it.  I guided her through some major breakthroughs that summer and felt so empowered by it.  By February 2013, I had enrolled in the Transformational Life Coach program presented by Leadership That Works at the NY Open Center in Manhattan and never looked back. 

 

Teaching young adults and professionally coaching adults has made my life feel whole.  My mission is to help lift, support and witness clients reach their best self in every aspect of their lives.

 

REIKI

The day after I decided to leave my marriage I went for a Reiki Healing Session. I intuitively knew that I needed this form of healing to help me process all the emotions I was feeling. During that session, I had such a release of feelings, a purge so to say, and at that moment I knew Reiki was the powerful healing tool that I needed. Shortly after that, I felt the calling to get Reiki attuned so I could help people feel better, feel healed, just like I did.

​

GLP-1 COACHING

For most of my life I’ve been physically uncomfortable in my body; however, this past Spring I was at my limit of uncomfortableness.  Coming off my divorce and the stress that comes along with that, I had gotten to the point where my health was struggling due to being overweight.  Don’t get me wrong, I am not body shaming myself at all, but I was starting to head down a road to some health issues due to being overweight.  So, after trying many different food plans and healthy lifestyles and a ton of research, I took the plunge into the GLP-1 medication world to use as a tool to help manage my weight and health issues.  

 

I started on the medication at the end of March and have had nothing but great results!  I am eternally grateful for this tool to assist my weight loss and healthy lifestyle journey, and I am extremely passionate about helping people through their journey.  I look forward to standing by you through this process, as I have first hand experience with it.
