About Us

Through my experience as a senior leader and manager in the purpose-driven fields of philanthropy, nonprofit, education, human services and healthcare, I realized my drive and capacity to build, lead and coach high performing teams by leveraging individual strengths.    When I learned how to identify and aim individual and team strengths with CliftonStrengths, I became motivated to bring this highly effective tool to others.

Initially I championed and lead a team-based pilot implementation of the CliftonStrengths full 34 followed by organization-wide implementation at a philanthropic organization across two states.  To ensure integration with the company culture, I became Gallup-certified along with two colleagues.  Strengths was also incorporated in onboarding and performance management structures.  As I branched out to bring CliftonStrengths to other mission-driven organizations and individuals, I remembered the deep personal satisfaction experienced in my early career days.   Back then I put my BS degree in nutrition to use, first as a certified lactation consultant coaching expectant and new mothers, and later as weight loss counselor.  Reconnecting with satisfying experiences working one-on-one to help others achieve their goals led me to become a Strengths coach who helps people use strengths in 5 key areas of life that help them do life well.

Acting from my passion and call to help people lead lives of faith and purpose, I help people one-on-one or in small groups learn and grow in their knowledge of their own unique gifts.  I assist clients to develop and focus on goals they have for their faith formation, family and friend relationships, nourishment, health and productivity.  At Fx5 Journey, the F x 5 is shorthand for Faith, Family & Friends, Food, Fitness and Fruitfulness (productivity).  Through a deeply thoughtful yet practical approach, my clients realize and aim their talents toward the vision for their best self.
