About
Lori
As
a personal life coach, I dare to transcend with my clients. I powerfully
speak the truth while passionately and responsibly connecting with
clients. Together, we joyfully and intuitively allow the spirit
within us to soar.
 I
have transcended many times in my own life. I am currently a Personal
Life Coach, Mediator, and successful Divorce Attorney. I teach classes
for Divorce and Custody as well as Life Makeover Classes. As a Divorce
Attorney, I have worked with over a thousand clients to help them
deal with fearful transitions in their lives. As a mediator, I help
people find creative solutions and gain dignity by resolving their
own conflict. I am told that I am an amazing "idea person".
As a coach, I love helping people to transcend their current situation
and find joy and passion in their lives once again.
My
experience is both professional and personal. As a mother of two
children, I practice walking my talk. As a child of divorce, and
also daily with my divorce clients, I know and see the effects of
continuing the parental fight around children. It has serious ramifications
on the children's self-esteem. As a divorced and remarried parent,
I continue to be reminded of how my own choices affect my children.
When
I was a teen, I became involved with drugs, ending with a year long
stint at a drug addiction center... this was a turning point in
my life.
Bottled
up negative energy was transformed into courage, strength, and the
ability to change and enrich my life. Once I recognized the need
to change and grow, I discovered the resolve within myself to accomplish
my desires.
I
was the first in my family to graduate from college (University
of Nevada in Reno), and graduated in 1985 with a Juris Doctor from
Antioch School of Law in Washington, DC. I was an attorney for Legal
Services in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, for 5 years and then the Regional
Director of Oregon Legal Services' Roseburg branch for another five
years. In 1994 I became a certified mediator through Confluence
Northwest in Portland, OR, and in 1995 I went into private practice.
 In
2002 I was certified by the Academy for Coach Training (Bellevue,
WA) as a Certified Professional Coach. I have been on numerous legal
and community boards. I was the past Young Career Woman for the
Oregon Business and Professional Women's Club, past president of
the Douglas County Bar Association, past board member of the Oregon
Bar Association's Local Professional Responsibility Committee and
Family Law Section, and was on numerous statewide family law task
forces in both Oregon and Pennsylvania.
My
passions are traveling, reading, spending time with women-friends,
learning and self-growth. I am also passionate about not allowing
fear to control my life. Other life experiences also include starting
a Women's Center in Reno, NV in 1980, traveling for two months in
Europe, living on a kibbutz, scuba diving and skydiving.
Here's
one of my favorite poems from Rumi:
Somewhere
There is a field
Where there is no
Right-doing or
Wrong-doing
I will meet you there.
Rumi
If
you are open to reach beyond your current life's boundaries, take
the plunge, and accept the opportunity to achieve your dreams, whatever
they may be, wherever they may take you...
