A Little About Me

If you’ve found your way to this space, chances are something inside you is stirring. A quiet knowing that something in your life no longer fits. A sense that there’s more for you, even if you can’t quite name what that is yet.

For years, like so many women, I lived a life that looked “right” on the outside. I was married, had a beautiful home, an energetic dog named Koda, and spent two decades in law enforcement. A career that required constant strength, resilience and service to others. On the outside, I was dependable, capable, and the one others leaned on. I showed up for everyone else, often at the cost of myself.

In early 2023, I experienced what many call a dark night of the soul. I came to the realization that I was deeply unhappy, and a clear knowing that something in my life had to change.

Not long before that, my world had been shaped by one of the most pivotal chapters I will ever walk through. My mother and sister were diagnosed with cancer in the same week; my mom with breast cancer, and my sister with glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer. In true caretaker fashion, I stepped fully into the role of organizer, supporter, protector, and ultimately, end-of-life caregiver. My mother’s cancer went into remission, but my sister’s did not. I devoted myself to making my sister’s remaining days as peaceful and meaningful as possible.

Being present for her death changed me. It forced me to look honestly at my life, my identity, and the way I was showing up. Who was I beyond my roles? What truly mattered? How did I want to live the rest of my life? Something was stirring, and I could no longer silence it. That stirring became my turning point.

I began with therapy. Creating space to understand what I was feeling in my body and in my spirit. I immersed myself in healing, learning, and self-discovery. I learned to honor myself. I created  boundaries. I began listening to my intuition instead of overriding it. Slowly, the old patterns of people-pleasing gave way to self-trust, clarity, and grounded confidence. What started as a quiet inner shift became a full transformation. From that transformation, my coaching practice was born.

Today, I guide women through the very seasons I’ve lived: identity shifts, life transitions, burnout, grief, and reinvention. I work with women who feel that inner stir. Women who have spent years showing up for everyone else and are now ready to show up for themselves. Women who are ready to stop shrinking, silencing, and self-abandoning, and start living fully, honestly, and authentically.

My purpose is simple: to help you move from stuck to clear, from disconnected to embodied, from overwhelmed to grounded, from surviving to thriving.

If you’re here, trust that it’s not by chance. Something in you already knows it’s time, and I would be honoured to walk beside you into this beautiful next season of your life.

A few of the books that have shaped how I think, reflect, and move through life

Book cover of The Mountain Is You by Brianna Wiest about transforming self-sabotage into self-mastery.

Brianna Wiest’s words deeply resonated with my own journey of transformation, reinforcing the belief that our struggles can become catalysts for growth and purpose.

Book cover of The Power of Intention by Dr Wayne W. Dyer with a sunset background.

The Power of Intention reminded me that transformation begins when we consciously choose how we show up for ourselves, our relationships, and our lives.

Book cover of How to Do the Work by Dr. Nicole LePera with an orange and pink background.

The book that started my journey of self discovery. It helped me recognize the connection between past experiences, emotional patterns, and personal growth. The lessons in this book deeply influence my approach to guiding women. 

Book cover: A Woman’s Guide to Power Unbound by Kasia Urbaniak cofounder of The Academy.

A Woman’s Guide to Power Unbound reinforced the importance of using our voice, honoring our needs, and stepping fully into our personal power without apology.

Book cover of The Shadow Work Workbook by Rachel Porter with abstract circle designs on black background.

Rachel Porter’s work became an important tool in my journey of self-discovery, reminding me that growth often requires us to compassionately face the hidden parts of ourselves.

A few moments from my life

Outside of coaching, I enjoy travelling and spending time with the people I love, including my dog Koda. Living by the ocean, you’ll often find me running, hiking, or immersed in nature, while practicing presence and expressing my creativity through pottery.

At the end of the day, we’re all just spinning on a rock, in the vastness of the universe, just trying to do the best we can.
