Whole Authentic You has been years in the making. After spending 20 years in the Coast Guard, Patti knows what it is like to pretend to be someone else be seen as a good performer, leader, and often co
mprised who she was to fit in. She soon realized many of the women she worked with were also doing the same thing. She decided it was time to take her holistic counseling, leadership, education, and experience and start a company dedicated to helping women step into their authentic selves so they can give a more purposeful meaningful life. Patti has a Master degree in Holistic Counseling and a Bachelor's degree in Management. She has certificates from Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business New Step Program, Harvard Kennedy School's Women and Power program and Strategies for Building and Leading Diverse Organizations program. She is also a certified Reiki Master. During her military career, she served as the Coast Guard's Gender Policy Advisor, advocating for women's issues, led a million dollar study on women's retention bringing light to women's issues in a very public way. She also managed three medical clinics, supervised a staff of social workers helping military members balance their work and life, worked at the Pentagon and honed her leadership skills. Outside of the military, she has worked in private practice counseling individuals and volunteered at a non-profit organization where she counseled groups of grieving children. She currently serves in the External Relations Position on the Governance Committee for the Coast Guard's Women's Leadership Initiative, is a member of Women in Government Relations and a Girl Scout troop leader.
