I'm a women's wellbeing coach, wellness enthusiast, spiritual mentor, integrative health advocate, advisor and confidante who’s spent 30+ years exploring what it means to be a sensitive Type A, career-minded, (former) HR professional while living and exploring the interconnectedness of body, mind and spirit with the seen and unseen world around us.

I came to this work the way most of us do: the long way, through my own unraveling. After two decades in human resources, ten in corporate, ten in consulting, I knew how to help organizations de-escalate even the most contentious interpersonal situations. What I didn't know was how to de-escalate the consequence of this work in my body, at least not in a healthy way. I was very good at my job. It wasn’t very good for me. I self medicated, overworked and eventually burned out. Real, bone-deep, lost-myself, existential exhaustion burnout. In the middle of that collapse, the only thing outside my marriage that held me was the spiritual practice that I'd been not so quietly building since my teens.

Meditation. Crystal healing. Time in nature. The rhythm of the seasons. Ancestral practices. Tarot. Ritual. These weren't hobbies or escape—they were my lifeline. They helped me find solid ground when everything else was shifting. They helped me come back home to myself and find a way forward. They were how I recalibrated my inner compass.

When I was living in California, I spent a lot of time hiking. The canyons were my therapist and church. I now live in New Jersey with my husband, my father in law and our cats. I’ve swapped the mountains for a river at the end of my street that has become part of my practice—one of the places I return to again and again to listen, to recalibrate and remember what's true. I believe the land we live on has something to teach us if we slow down enough to listen; especially if we let ourselves feel foolish long enough to speak it out loud and pay attention to both the questions and answers that come from the speaking of it.

I’m a hoarder of certifications. Currently I hold certifications (sometimes multiple) in life coaching, health coaching, hypnotherapy, meditation instruction, yoga instruction, Nature as Co-Facilitator and Forest Therapy. I've studied sacred arts* with Brianna Saussy and shamanic earth medicine practices with Pixie Lighthorse. I'm trained in breath work, nervous system regulation and a variety of energy healing modalities. I also study all things magical, esoteric, occult, spirit work, shamanic and ritual practices. My primary teacher in the magical arts is Griffin Ced of The Temple of Ced where I was initiated. I’m also studying Human Design and Buddhist Mindfulness Meditation.

Obnoxiously long credentials list aside, I feel what gives this work potency is that I've not only seen some things and learned some things, but I’ve been through some things. Maybe even found myself where you are now. Lost in the messy middle. Burned out to the point of not recognizing my own reflection and walking away from corporate without a net both mentally overwhelmed and drowning in feelings. On the verge of divorce. Health crisis. Moved house and full on relocated many times; each time leaving places, people and jobs that were central to my world and identity. I left a career behind which was such a huge part of my identity that I wandered for years trying to figure who I was without it. I again experienced this level of upheaval, when I had to leave CA and the life I spent more than a decade building including chosen family and community which was the axis that my world revolved around.

I’ve stood at so many thresholds and navigated so many crossroads over the course of my life. They were always shattering and disorienting, many times lonely. I’ve always found my way. Sometimes quicker than others. Always harder than it had to be. Never really back to what was or who I was, but back to myself as I am on the other side of such things. My ability to get back up is probably my greatest strength. I’ve always recognize my mind as an asset but it took me a good long time to see my emotional depth as not only an asset but maybe my greatest superpower as long as I ride the waves of emotion and don’t get rolled by them. (Thank you meditation.) It was a lesson hard won. Fierce independence has it’s price. A little bit of support would’ve gone a long way.

My life has been the most joyous, tumultuous, awe-struck and knocked-back-to-reality adventure. Not always easy, not always understood. Even by those closest to me. I wouldn't trade any of it. What I bring to you is the full range of that experience: the wins and the losses, the messy and the magical, lived fully and now in service of you. My clients often remark that the space we share feels both sacred and safe. They speak of a dichotomy they didn't expect. I can be grounded, practical and direct while also being otherworldly, magical and intuitive….and somehow, both are unmistakably present at once. What you get is the whole of it, brought fully and without reservation, in service of the whole of you.
