About Me

Hello lovely human!  Here's where you can learn a bit about me. 

 

I have been a Leadership & Life Coach for the last 16 years.  I am trained as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (nervous system and trauma healer), relationship & personal growth teacher, intuition trainer and strategic problem solver/ consultant, with additional training in Internal Family Systems (IFS).

I was born into a living laboratory for personal, relational and spiritual development.  My parents, Robert Gass & Judith Ansara, were personal-growth pioneers and significant contributors to the movement.

 

As a teen, I rebelled against my upbringing by trying hard to be "normal." I cynically rolled my eyes at anything remotely healing or growth oriented. But as I entered my 20's, I found myself struggling, and I realized I might have something to gain by exploring all that "weird stuff." 

 

I immersed myself in training and dove deep into my own healing and personal transformation.  I moved from being a numb, traumatized, disconnected, unemotional, resigned and cynical person into someone who thrives and creates magic.  

 

It turned out that not only did that "weird stuff" seriously help me, but becoming a facilitator for others was my calling and the fulfillment of a powerful family legacy.

​

As a curious, lifelong learner, I am endlessly fascinated by the potential to evolve. I continually apply that passion toward my own growth.  I walk the talk every day.

​

I love helping people connect with their power and establish a foundation of deep wellness, inspiration and skill from which to transform themselves and every area of their lives. 

​

I live in my hometown, Boulder, CO, with my long-term life partner — who is as fiendishly growth-oriented as I am.  One of our favorite activities is coming up with games to make our relationship even more joyful, easeful and fulfilling.
