The whole world... everything, is just so much more beautiful, simpler and more elegant. It is completely different from the way I used to see it before I met you. You have taught me so much and showed me a whole new way to live."  ~ Ben Z., Toronto, Canada    "Being with you is like being in a spa."  ~Esther G., Agoura Hills, CA    "Becky is an extremely talented Life Coach.

  With 20 years experience as an entrepreneur and business owner, I have enjoyed a fun and varied professional life. I received a BFA in Studio Art from the Meadows School of the Arts at Southern Methodist University, where I also did extensive coursework in psychology and sociology. During college and for four years after, I was a print and runway fashion model and instructor at modeling/finishing schools. It was in the work I did outside of established curriculum with the young women at those schools, which focused appreciating and expressing their inner beauty, which started me on the path to Life Coaching. 

   

   After I married, I sold real estate for several years, becoming the top producer in my first year. During that time I also enjoyed buying and restoring historic houses for resale.    From the moment I bought my first home I began taking a strong interest in horticulture and environmental issues. While my son, Alexander, was little I had the pleasure of staying at home with him, which was a great gift. During those years, I became an expert in my horticultural hobby. I won numerous top floral design awards and literally hundreds of awards in horticulture. I began lecturing extensively about garden and floral design, horticulture and the environment to garden clubs throughout the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex area and East Texas as well as being the featured speaker at events in venues as diverse as Neiman Marcus, the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Society, and The Dallas Independent School District Program for the Visually Impaired. I started my landscape design firm, Whimsical Gardens, in 1997. I have also served on numerous Arts, civic and gifted education boards, including the Landscape Oversight Committee for the Katy Trail, the development of the largest city park/bike trail in the Dallas. In early 2003 I was asked to be the garden writer for a regional magazine, then a contributing editor, which lead to features in national publications. Writing regular columns and features in local and national magazines made me realize a love of writing as well. 

  

   Although I loved and still love landscaping, I began to feel a strong pull to dedicate more of myself to the devotion I have to people and helping them live their most fulfilling and joyous lives. When I found Life Coaching, I knew I had found my true calling. I received my coaching training at the world renowned  Coaches Training Institute (CTI), based in San Rafael, California.   

  

   Personal Background

  

   I was born in Dallas, Texas and my family moved to Europe when I was six years old. We lived in Rome, Italy; Edinburgh, Scotland and in East Anglia in the English countryside until I was in my teens. I have a deep love of travel and being immersed in other cultures and these experiences have influenced my coaching, my art, my designs and my life. While living abroad, and throughout my life, I traveled a great deal. Some of the places I have visited include Russia, Czech Republic and East Germany, all during communist control; Turkey, Greece and virtually all of Western Europe as well as several Caribbean Islands. I have traveled extensively throughout the US and Mexico and have also spent time in Bali, Indonesia, which was a deeply transformational experience for me. 

  

   I love to find, appreciate and express beauty in the world, both artistically and personally. I love gardening and floral design, cooking and entertaining, interior design, renovating old houses, singing, painting, meditating, traveling, dancing, children of all ages, virtually anything furry, learning and growing, great conversations, spiritual growth, being in breathtaking nature and finding the restaurant with best view in a new city and having a glass of wine there.
