About Me
Hello! I’m Paula
your coach for life
I’m not here to list the letters after my name or my credentials (though I do have them). I’ve been running my coaching practice since 2001, and while my education is extensive, those letters won’t tell you who I am or what it’s like to work with me.
I have been building my toolbox for 23 years. Actually, for even longer than that, because I’ve been a seeker since I was a kid. Raised in a Jewish household, I connected with the rituals, humor, and traditions of Judaism. But I had a lot of questions, so I began my own spiritual journey around the age of 24. I started with therapy, then explored Buddhist principles, and from there opened myself up to a variety of spiritual practices, philosophies, and ways of understanding the world. Each step on that path added to my own spiritual treasure chest, and I draw from it in my work with others.
The work I do is deeply human (you’re probably thinking, “Of course it is!”). But here’s the thing: many coaching programs focus on the head, offering solutions that never fully reach the rest of who we are. Those lessons don’t become embodied. In my approach, we don’t just talk about goals. We explore who you are at the core, so that the goals you set are rooted in your true self—not what you think you should be doing.
Think of this process as tending to a garden. We don’t just trim the weeds; we dig deep to get to the roots. To find true fulfillment and a deeper love for yourself, we need to be excavators. Together, we’ll explore the rich soil of your life journey and uncover the unique layers that make you, you.

Life-changing experiences
Working with Paula has profoundly impacted both my personal and professional growth. Through our work together, I’ve gained a deep understanding of grief—its complexities and how it affects us on multiple levels. Paula has also guided me in setting healthy boundaries and finding my voice to advocate for myself. Thanks to her support, I’ve become a better version of myself, and I’m still on this journey of growth!
I feel incredibly supported, and for the first time have a person who is holding a standard for me that is not only high, but it totally suits me and my dreams.
Working with Paula is life-giving. She has guided me to become my authentic self in the midst of raising a family, changing careers, and navigating grief. With Paula’s help, I’ve found my spirit, my voice, my essence. For that, I am eternally grateful.
Working with Paula has been a transformative experience. Her deep understanding of the human condition sets her apart.
