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...
