My Story

My path to coaching emerged from two parallel journeys: building a successful career in global communications and experiencing the profound (and often overwhelming) adventure of parenthood. For nearly two decades, I ran Kerlan Communications, following my role as Senior Vice President at MWW Public Relations where I led the NYC office. While these experiences taught me invaluable lessons about leadership and human connection, it was parenthood that truly transformed my understanding of what it means to grow, adapt, and find balance in an increasingly complex world.

​

Like many of my clients, I've lived the challenge of wearing multiple hats—business owner, parent, partner, daughter, sister—while trying to meet both external expectations and internal aspirations. I've felt the weight of society's pressures, wrestled with that persistent inner critic, and navigated the sometimes overwhelming task of staying connected to joy and purpose amid life's demands.

As a proud member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF), I bring a unique blend of professional expertise and personal experience to my coaching practice. My training spans:

  • Positive Psychology

  • Group Coaching

  • Positive Relationship Coaching

  • Positive Leadership Coaching

  • Parent Coaching
    ​

But beyond credentials, I bring deep empathy and understanding for the real-world challenges my clients face. Whether you're:

​

  • A parent seeking to balance family life with personal growth

  • A professional at any career stage looking to advance or pivot

  • Someone feeling stuck or disconnected from their sense of purpose

  • A leader aiming to create positive impact

  • An individual navigating major life transitions
