- You may come because of a season of life—new challenges, loss, retirement, empty-nest, mid-life, parenting
- You may come because of who she is—easy to be with, non-judgmental, caring, fun, supportive and empowering, comfortable with people in their pain. Nancy genuinely celebrates successes and has a great sense of humour.

Background
Nancy's grounded, down-to-earth, unhurried life is both nature and nurture; she grew up on a farm in Kansas, bringing in the cows and gathering the eggs. As an adult she has made choices to honour values that create the life that is important to her.
Since graduating from Kansas State University with a degree in education, Nancy has been an educator for life, sharing her love of learning through conversations, relationships, and gifted teaching.
Nancy's life has been formed in the crucible of parenting two sons and 30 years of marriage. She and her husband lead marriage enrichment seminars with humour and honesty. She also gives parenting workshops on the “Language of Listening” based on her favourite child-rearing book, Liberated Parents, Liberated Children by Adelle Faber and Elaine Mazlich.
Nancy is a spiritual director, who leads others to love God and live passionately.
Her home for the past 25 years has been Vancouver, British Columbia.
