BECHTOLD LIFEWORK STRATEGIES
Awakening You To Your Next Adventure


About Patty
I work with people who are tired of the "same old, same old." They're beginning to question something in their lives, and they are truly heroines and heroes on their own journeys. All of my clients inspire me, and I am excited to set off on the path with them towards new adventures, large and small.

My own life has had its share of adventures, including stints in such diverse locations as Phoenix, Brooklyn, San Francisco, and Madison, Wisconsin. I did finally put down roots in Sacramento, where I share a home with my husband David and a bevy of rescued kitties. I still love adventuring, though, and many days find us walking beside the river, visiting the ocean, and going off the beaten path.

One of my earliest passions was theatre, and throughout my life there has been one constant - my abiding fascination with people and their stories, particularly those that experience and express great transformation, aliveness, and meaning. Ultimately this led me to discover my own path, when I realized that I love partnering with people to find that sweet spot within themselves that makes their lives truly joyful.

I believe in the wisdom of the imagination and the power of individuals to transform their lives by transforming their thoughts and actions. And what I want most for my clients is what I want for myself too:


*Following our deepest purpose and direction in life
*Saying "Yes!" to our unique talents, potential, and creativity
*Breaking through obstacles that hold us back
*Taking action on things we've always wanted
*Living passionately and experiencing life as a work of art


Here's wishing us all much success on the journey!
