Discover Life Coaching for Transformation & Resilience

Me and My Why

Life threw me a serious curveball.

One that forced me to stop — really stop — and take stock of everything. And in that pause, something surfaced that I hadn't let myself look at in a long time. I wasn't living the life I wanted. I had been going with the flow. Doing what was expected. Achieving things that looked right from the outside. But somewhere along the way I had lost myself — my alignment, my joy, my sense of purpose.

I wasn't making the impact I wanted to make.

I wasn't truly happy.

And it took a life-threatening diagnosis to make me see it.

In 2023, I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Triple Negative Breast Cancer.

That diagnosis forced a pause I didn't choose — but one that gave me some of the most important perspective of my life. In many ways, it became the beginning of my own becoming. What I found in that stillness changed everything. I reconnected with my values. I got honest about what mattered.

I learned to move forward one intentional step at a time — even when the path wasn't clear.

And I discovered something I now carry into every coaching conversation:

When we slow down long enough to listen to ourselves, clarity finds us.

I want to help others get there — before they're forced to.

I am an ICF trained life coach — and my practice is built around self-leadership coaching for people who want to be intentional about how they live their lives.

ICF training means my practice is held to the highest international standards of ethics, competency, and professional conduct. In an unregulated industry, that matters. I hold active ICF membership and am currently working toward my ACC designation.

My professional background spans over two decades in senior roles across corporate strategy, supply chain, project management, change management, and transformation for both public and private sector organizations (also holding several professional designations). I understand professional life from the inside.

My coaching is further grounded in specialized training in Polyvagal Theory — the neuroscience of how our nervous systems respond to safety, stress, and uncertainty. Understanding why the body braces, why clarity feels out of reach, and what it actually takes to find your footing again — that's at the heart of how I work. I also hold certifications in IKIGAI and Forest Therapy, and I bring 35 years of personal growth and development into everything I do.

Beyond my coaching practice, I facilitate self-management groups for people living with chronic conditions, volunteer at local events, lead forest therapy walks, facilitate community workshops, and organize and lead trips into the mountains — on foot, snowshoes, skis, ropes, and crampons. Moving through hard terrain, literally and figuratively, has always been part of how I find my way.

A portion of my practice is dedicated to accessible, low-cost coaching for individuals navigating cancer and those who support them — because that journey deserves support, and cost should never be the reason someone doesn't get it.

So whether it's your best day or your hardest — you're welcome here exactly as you are.

Whether you have clear goals or simply a sense that something needs to shift — clarity often emerges through the conversation itself.

Your path. Your purpose. Your pace.
