Hello! I am an astrologer and a life coach.

I am offering free readings and

deep discounts on some opportunities.

There is so much we can accomplish together...

Just me, you, and your natal chart.

Using your natal chart, you and I will map
paths to a life of joy.

Most of our life goals distill down to one thing-- Living Our Best Life. Whether you call it living your best life, or cultivating a life of joy, we are all seeking the same outcome.

My day job as an EAP Therapist brings me into contact with hundreds of seekers. It is easy to see that we are all seeking more contentment or peace in our lives. All of our problems are unique, but we are connected in our search for joy. There are five domains of joy cultivation that we can master in our pursuit of bliss. The instructions for all of these are embedded right there in our natal charts-- our own personal map to our most joyful life.

Most astrologers provide a big picture reading of your natal chart. Often people meet with an astrologer just once in their lives to address the overall lifepath. Some will schedule a yearly reading for a look at the year ahead.

Here at the Helm, I am your life coach, helping you meet your next goal. I use your natal chart as a map to cut out the guess work of where to find your most direct path to joy.

What is a natal chart?

A natal chart is a graphical representation of the positions of the planets and celestial objects at the time of a person's birth. It is used by astrologers to gain insight into a person's personality, life story, life path, unique challenges and personal strengths, even the important players in our lives. The natal chart can remove a lot of guess work as we attempt to answer important questions about our future, our past or our relationships.

There are a lot of amazing ways to use astrology, including for prediction, as divination, or for locating geographic locations to live. See what we will and won't do here at the Helm.

The Ascendant

Also called a rising sign, the ascendant is determined by your time and location of birth, and it organizes all of your natal chart. Without the ascendant, there is no true unique birth chart. You likely already know your sun sign, or your zodiac sign. Most people find that they relate more to their rising sign, as it determines how we steer our life choices, and navigate the rough waters of our lives. As the ancient Greeks called it, the ascendant is truly our Helm.

I have insight due to my background and education, but so do you. In fact, you have something no one else has, and that is a unique expertise and perspective on your life and what is best for you. I do not provide the sort of coaching that includes a program to purchase, or a set of vitamins for you. Instead, I am offering my expertise in systemic therapy, my astrology skills, and my support. We all come into the world with our own user manual-- our natal charts. Here at Joy at the Helm, your natal chart is your map to your best life, and I am your scout.

Life coaches are like your personal cheerleaders, helping you achieve your goals and overcome challenges. They can help you with career stuff, personal growth, managing stress, and even dealing with major life changes.

Life coaches can help people identify obstacles that are holding them back and develop strategies to overcome them. Life coaches can help people improve their self-confidence and self-awareness, and build healthier decision-making skills. Life coaches can help people navigate career transitions and find ways to align their careers with their personal aspirations.

Whether you're feeling stuck or just need some guidance, a life coach can help you discover your purpose and live your best life.

Why Joy?

"Joy" is my personal bias.

I had a professor who used to say all relationship problems are communication problems. Then I had a supervisor who used to say that all mental health issues are stress. For me, the thread that connects us all is our perpetual, unshakable, omnipresent search for joy.

So what is joy? Joy is comfort, peace, harmony, ease, love, faith, goodness, contentment, success, and acceptance. GOOD FEELING. So how do we cultivate joy? I believe we can split the different domains of joy into five commonly experienced life challenges: the self, our relationships, our vocation, and with a lack of skills in letting things go, and setting good boundaries.

What is Different?

Life coaches, at the end of the day, are selling a lifestyle. Not just any life style, but the life style that works best for them. Often, life coaches have a program, or set of steps, for you to follow to achieve this ideal lifestyle. If you see a lifestyle that you want for yourself that a life coach is offering, then we won't be a good fit. That particular life coach is the person you need!

What I am offering here at Joy at the Helm is the lifestyle that belongs to you, is tailor-made for you, and the lifestyle that has been waiting for you your entire life.
