To love what you do and feel that it matters—how could anything be more fun?  - Katharine Graham

When I tried to ignore her, she (the Universe) made herself very clear: “There are consequences  for squandering your gifts. There are penalties for leaving big pieces
of your life unlived...And  then one day the Universe gently places her hands upon
your shoulders, pulls you close and whispers in your ear:

​"I ’m not screwing around.  It’s time.  All of this pretending and performing –
these coping mechanisms you’ve developed to protect yourself from getting
hurt – have to go.

​Your armor is preventing you from growing into your gifts. I understand that
you needed these protections when you were small...you believed your armor
could help you secure all of  the things you needed, to feel worthy of love and
​belonging, but time is growing short. It’s time to show up and be seen. " - Brené Brown

​                                              Every courageous road we take brings us more deeply into our authentic being.
                                                                  And, paradoxically, every road we avoid teaches us, too. 
                                                            Some are intoxicatingly blissful, others … unspeakably painful. 
                                                                                        But there are no ‘wrong’ roads,
                                                            not if we approach every path with wonderment and curiosity --
                                                                          a call to service, to self, adventure and discovery.                                
                                                                                              - Robyn Lark Wakefield

​In 2001 Lynn set up her private coaching practice, Soulful Living Coaching, and began her career as a professional coach. Inspired to become a coach by her mentor, Cheryl Richardson, Lynn was formally trained as a life coach in 2002 and graduated from the same school Cheryl attended, Coach University (Coach U). Founded in 1992, it was the very first coach training school in the world and is accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF). Coach U is recognized the world over for having started today's coaching profession.

​During the two decades that Lynn has been privileged to be a coach she has also given numerous workshops, spoken at various women's retreats, been part of the leadership team for a woman's non-profit organization in California, and has facilitated several women's groups throughout the country.  Along with bringing almost 20 years of coaching experience with her, Lynn is also the author of the book, Awakening To The Wisdom Of Your Soul, a memoir about her own journey of spiritually Awakening. From this experience Lynn learned that those "Dark Nights" can lead to some of our greatest, most profound transformations. You can read an excerpt of it HERE.   ​

        This is a great story that may people will be able to relate to today.
       It expresses shared pain that so many are experiencing now.
       Lynn is a beautiful writer and will grab you from the first sentence as 
       she shares her personal journey of transformation beginning with a
       devastating loss.
       If you're in the midst of transition and/or a challenging time in your life, 
      Lynn's words will comfort you and ultimately inspire you to move forward.
      There's no more important message to bring to our world than this.

Lynn is a Reiki Master and a Chikara-Reiki-Do Master.  Her first level Usui Reiki attunement took place in 2007 in Rhode Island under Native American Elder, "Grandmother White Swan." Her Level II Usui Reiki training was done in 2008 under the direction of Guru Ghanshyam Shrestha at his ashram in Thamel, Nepal. Her Tibetan Reiki Master initiations were done in 2014 under Judith Conroy of the UK, the founder of Chikara-Reiki-Do. 

​A believer in the importance of learning and education, her life quote is from the 15th century Italian painter Caravaggio who is quoted as saying, "I am always learning."  She also studied and trained directly under Sue Frederick, best-selling author of "I See Your Dream Job" and founder of Career Intuitive Coach Training. In addition, she studied for a number of years with pioneer Law
​of Attraction expert and later her colleague at LOATC, Michael Losier. She also studied with international spiritual teacher Gil Alan of  "Awaken Your Inner Guidance," with Trudy Griswold, founder of Angelspeake and most recently, she is studying under intuitive and channel Dr. Taryn Crimi, while also working to complete her Meditation Coach certification from Transformation Academy.

​For 3 years Lynn was also a member of Oprah Winfrey’s OWNly Team, where she reviewed, provided input and made frequent recommendations for potential programs that were to be aired on the OWN Network. ​

​Along with raising her family and traveling all over the world, she has started several successful businesses, starting with her very first one when she was only 22 years old. She counts among her most rewarding work her years spent as a professional doula taking care of first-time mothers and their newborns. In addition to working professionally and running conscious businesses, she has done many different kinds of volunteer work, including giving Reiki to rescued animals at her local animal shelter in Florida. 

Lynn brings a tremendous depth of knowledge, training and life experience to her coaching and is passionate about helping women to find a sense of calm and bring peace and balance (her favorite word) to their lives.

Because she has trained in so many different modalities and due to her ability to empower, inspire, encourage and uplift women, Lynn supports her clients on multiple levels through her one-on-one sessions and her on-line programs and products. Her holistic approach to coaching is a unique blend of the grounded and practical with the esoteric and spiritual; training and experience combined with skill, intuition and discernment (aka: "a very good B.S. detector").
