Hi! I'm Vicky

I've always been someone who notices things-the way light changes across the water, a thought that lingers long after a conversation, the words we choose, and the stories we tell ourselves abut our lives.  I'm curious by nature and drawn to the things that make us stop, think, wonder, and see something a little differently.  I'm a woman, mother, grandmother, sister, friend, lifelong learner, and someone who has always been drawn to the places where life feels a little more real - nature, water, mountains, a good book, meaningful conversation, and quiet moments that give us room to think.

​

I've lived through enough seasons to know that life doesn't always follow the map we imagined.  Some chapters are chosen; others arrive without asking.  And sometimes the hardest place to be is somewhere in between - when the old way of life no longer feels quite right, but the next one hasn't revealed itself yet.

​

That in-between space is what draws me to this work.  Not because I have all the answers, but because I've come to appreciate the value of having someone beside you while you sort through what matters, what has changed, and what you do with what comes next.

​

I'm a certified professional life coach, but I don't see myself as someone who has come to tell another woman who she should become.  I'm more interested in helping her hear herself again.  Sometimes that begins with a good question.  Sometimes with a little quiet.  Sometimes with an honest conversation that changes the way she sees what's in front of her.

​

And that's why I created The Emerald Door:  to offer women a place to step away from the noise, take a breath, look around, and consider what comes next.

​

A place to pause.  A way forward.
