Meet Patricia

As a personal life coach and health and wellness coach, I am passionate about helping women move toward a healthier, happier, more fulfilling lifestyle and to live the life of their dreams.

Canadian born and English grown, I realized a childhood dream and became a linguist [French, German and Italian] and traveled extensively throughout Europe. I am sensitive to various world cultures and coach women in other countries.

A former overeater and yoyo dieter, I have successfully eliminated food and weight as an issue in my life for the past two decades. My personal path has led me to embrace a heart-centered, whole person and holistic perspective combining body, mind, spirit and emotions. I know what it takes to truly change stuck patterns and unhealthy behaviors because I am living it.... and you can too!

The founder of New Paradigm Coaching.com and co-founder of DietFreeNow.com, I currently serve on a National Panel of Advisors, Wellness Councils of America, and have demonstrated stress management techniques on television. Presentations to professional audiences include: “Success over Stress,” “Use it or Lose it,” “Successful Personal Change,” and “Freedom from Diets.”

I have successfully created a deeply nurturing and unconditionally loving relationship with my husband Bob of 21 years, a joyful movement and meditation practice and a fulfilling professional career.

Favorite pastimes? Hiking, especially up to alpine lakes, cycling, reading, planting flowers and vegetables in the back garden, and spending time with my family and our six grandchildren.
