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

Lynn is a Tibetan 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 Advanced 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.  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 to that, she studied with international spiritual teachers and intuitives Gil Alan of  "Awaken Your Inner Guidance," Law of Attraction expert Michael Losier and Trudy Griswold of Angelspeake.

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


​Along with raising her family, she has started several successful businesses, starting with her very first one, a jewelry retail business 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 she has done many doing different kinds of volunteer work, including giving Reiki to abused animals at her local animal shelter. 

Working too much? No time for you? Feeling stressed or overwhelmed? Feeling like you're disconnected or not participating
in your own life? This is where Lynn comes in to walk beside you. She brings a tremendous depth of knowledge, training and life experience to her coaching practice 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").

Lynn remains a dedicated student of meditation, spirituality and living well (she takes her tea each afternoon with honey) and her life quote is from the 15th century Italian painter Caravaggio who said, "I am always learning."  When not coaching or with her husband of almost 50 years, you can usually find Lynn meditating, doing yoga, traveling, reading, writing, spending time at the ocean or with her 6 wonderful grandchildren scattered all over the world and getting puppy-kisses from her Malti-Tzu, who was named after the Goddess Lola. Her name means, "She Who Gets Whatever She Wants"...  and she sure does!
