A little about me...
I know what it's like to seek a balanced life. I was born with ambition. But I was called to this work during a pivotal moment nearly 30 years ago.
My family was celebrating my Dad’s 50th birthday with a hot air balloon ride. The ride was beautiful, but when we were ready to land, something went terribly wrong. The pilot knew we were coming in too fast and told us, “HOLD ON TIGHT. WE’RE GONNA HIT HARD!” The balloon basket hit the ground and violently bounced. My Dad was thrown out, and a rope got wrapped around his ankle. He was suspended in the air, hanging upside down below us, and was dragged the length of a football field through rows of corn and alfalfa. The next thing I knew, we were on the ground, racing over to Dad, who was face down and not moving. This crash landing left my Dad paralyzed with a broken neck and led my Mom to become an alcoholic.
That crash happened when I was just 19 years old, and ever since then, I lived my life feeling unsafe, unconsciously scared of so many things, and always bracing for impact. Needless to say, I avoided my feelings and managed my INTERNAL crisis by staying ridiculously BUSY—giving me the illusion of control.
We all experience events in our lives that cause us pain or disruption. I know from personal experience and the work I’ve done with my amazing clients – that despite what life gives you – there is always a way to reserve personal space, balance your needs and wants, and live a fulfilled life on your terms.
Stop pretending to be happy when you’re really drowning out your desires for the sake of others.

"such an incredible coach"
"Charis has been such an incredible coach to work with. I have noticed a huge difference in my relationship with my wife, friends, family, and work acquaintances. It really makes you be honest with yourself which is what you need to grow and progress... Charis has always made me feel 100% comfortable sharing what is on my mind and has helped me work through things I had no idea were even obstacles in my life! I highly recommend working with her if you are looking to achieve more freedom and to live more fearlessly."

"I feel in control of my life more than I ever have. I carry less guilt and fear and I'm more productive"
"Before working with Charis, I was feeling overwhelmed and stuck, without enjoying what I was doing or knowing how to change it. I knew I needed a change but was afraid to change anything... Charis helped me understand the root causes of why I was stuck where I was and shared useful and user-friendly tools to help me address my fears going forward. Charis is gifted at relating and educating in a way that is natural and empowering. The tools I learned feel commonsense but are not something I would have thought of on my own. To think I could have gone my whole life without the knowledge and insight gained from Charis! I feel in control of my life more than I ever have. I carry less guilt and fear and I’m more productive. How is that possible? Ask Charis!"

Behind the Scenes
Charis Your Life is a culmination of all my skills and talents — art, graphic design, creativity, communication, entrepreneurship — with the purpose of sharing my experiences and learnings in a way that is not only super fun for me, but ultimately inspires others to live their best lives.
I designed my website (and my emails and social media) in a very personal, hands-on way. I am the writer of my messages, the designer of my doodle illustrations and animated videos, and the creative director of my photo shoots. (Oh and the adorable dog you see everywhere is our 4.5 pound Havapoo named Heidi.)
A saying on the wall of my studio says "Life is Art – Paint Your Dreams". I bought it in 2013, just a few weeks after my Mom passed away. I loved the sentiment, yet I didn't feel I was authentically living it at the time. Well, now I am, and it feels awesome.
