Belle Vie

Re-Imagine the Possibilities

Patti is a former teacher whose focus in life coaching is Transition. She specializes in Baby Boomer Issues and Retirement. Although a change in direction or purpose is exciting and rejuvenating, it also includes--often unexpectedly--varying degrees of fear, uncertainty, and anxiety. Patti's goal is to provide a supportive and productive environment for walking through that process, for crossing the bridge from one landscape to another. She and her clients, together, discover--or uncover--ways to accept, embrace, and celebrate the challenges and opportunities that lead to transformation, growth and a new way of being. The power to create (or re-create) a "belle vie"--a beautiful life--lies within each person, and that process unfolds with ease, intention, clarity, and joy in partnership with a Personal Life Coach.

• food allergies
• irritable bowel syndrome
• detox and elimination diets
