I am deeply curious about human beings; I have been since I was a little girl.  I love to know what, and how, people think - what inspires them and where they sell out on themselves.  And, I LOVE variety!  For me, it is the spice of life.  I used to wish that I was the type of person who could do the same thing every day, but I am just not wired that way and once I was able to embrace that, my world opened up.  I consider my life to be like a rich fabric with all the things I love to do interwoven within it. 

Born in New Zealand and now a US Resident, I am living proof that dreams do come true, and because of my New Zealand heritage I naturally bring diversity to anyone I interact with. I hold a BA in Psychology from Victoria University in Wellington, New Zealand.  I have completed extensive training through The Coaches Training Institute, among other coach training programs. I have worked with entrepreneurs, government departments, small and large businesses in coaching, training and facilitation roles.

I am on the Board of the Greater Gardner Coalition, which is a Neighborhood Advisory Committee part of San Jose City Council’s Strong Neighborhood Initiative.  This role allows me to partake in the decisions that directly affect the Willow Glen neighborhood I live in, as well as giving something back to my community.

May you find what you love in life and pursue it with passion,

                                                                                                                                    Catherine
