My Story
My journey begins at home, where all big journeys begin. My remarkable parents, survivors of the Holocaust, taught me the true essence of self-love, resilience, and how to “trust my gut.” Despite enduring unimaginable horrors, they emerged with an indomitable spirit of gusto, gratitude, and a gift for finding happiness in life’s simple pleasures. I was not raised by victims but rather by victors, who rose above their trauma by virtue of choosing love at every corner they turned.
I learned to navigate life much like the “Choose Your Own Adventure” storybooks I read as a child. I believe we all have the ability to chart our own path, using our intuitive wisdom as our inner guide, to find creative solutions - even in the hard moments - and make better decision.
My own path of self-discovery drew me out from ‘behind my desk’ at an early age in search of real-world experience. From extensive travel in distant places that put my physical and mental stamina to the test, to service in the Air Force that taught me all about servant leadership to high stakes engagement with clients at Fortune 500 companies; I embody all elements of the journey. And when I circle back to my desk now, after all these years, I bring my whole self to my work.
I am here to guide you toward living your own best adventure. Together, we can build on the good that is currently present in your life, and embark on a journey toward your desired goals.
With love and gratitude,
Judy

My Professional Background
