Hi, I’m Brenda. I have 30 years experience in parenting and working with children and families as an educator.
When I turned 40, I blew up my life. I lost my marriage, my house and my money. But I gained a more honest relationship with my children and found deeper fulfillment in life I went from being a semi-helicopter mom to trusting my children's journeys and decisions - and my own,
I spent the next decade reeducating myself. I learned to be uncomfortably honest, to handle conflict with grace, to set boundaries, to care for my body, to ask for what I want, and to take full responsibility for myself and my finances.
I learned to love myself, no matter what.
Generational change is possible. The work I’ve done on myself has changed my life, my children’s lives and has rippled out to my family. This hasn't always been easy, but the benefits come back to me a thousandfold each day, and I know that my future grandchildren are already receiving them.
One of the most transformative tools has been Family Constellations. This work reveals hidden family dynamics and allows old patterns to be released. Experiencing this myself, and now offering it to clients, deepened my belief that lasting change begins within us and extends through generations.
I created Legacy of Love, a powerful process that guides women through transformation of themselves, their families, and their lineage. Along with Constellation work and other healing modalities, it has brought me home to myself, helped me ride life’s ups and downs, and to walk in this world confident and proud of the woman I am.



































































































![Our sweet Baylee has lymphoma. Itās the worst kind, where thereās no treatment. Luckily for our hearts, even if we had brought him in sooner, it wouldnāt have made a difference in treatment or his impending death.
I knew this on Monday when I looked at him. It landed in my body as truth: my sweet baby dog is dying.
We are heartbroken ?
We decided to stay local in Asheville and take care of him and love him up so much in his last few weeks as he dies naturally. We got a beautiful quiet space on the mountain so we can be in nature and it can be easy on us, too.
He is in good spirits, eating and drinking, going to the bathroom. He is still loves playing outside and has been enjoying the snow this weekend.
Now I get to spoil him with my homemade chicken broth and quadruple extra snuggles and love. Godspeed, Baylee. We love you so much.
