About Me
I stand for the embodied liberation of myself and every person I come into contact with.
I feel as though I’ve always been on a path toward coaching. As a young girl, I often felt like the “odd-man-out”, and so organically developed an open heart and acceptance toward others. In my early 20s, I experienced the unexpected and seemingly unfair loss of several close loved ones. At age 26, I found myself finally free of a 10-year long abusive relationship, but held captive by all the damage that was done during that formative decade. Desperately trying to work through all that grief and hardship, I struggled to navigate the life that so many people around me had chosen. I tried to fit into the world around me. I tried to “heal myself” into accepting relationships, jobs, and circumstances that actually weren’t healthy for me.
After many years of searching, I realized trying to change my nature and resisting my desires was only causing me more pain. What I actually needed to change were my conditioned habits, my beliefs, and how I showed up in the world.
Slowly (sometimes very slowly), I started to become aware of my patterns. I changed what I allow into my life. I changed how much of myself I express. I changed how I speak to myself. I intentionally created restorative experiences and relationships.
This is when I really started to see a change, and feel the energy of freedom and possibility. When I wasn’t using my energy to try to change my nature, I could use my energy to accept myself and take action from a place a self-love and deep knowing, to create a fulfilling and authentic life.
And you can too.
Creating a life you truly love really is possible. It can be hard, uncomfortable, and scary. But it is also beautiful, freeing, and worth it. I’m still learning and unlearning every day. Whatever you are feeling right now, I see you. I’m here with you. And I would be honored to walk your path with you for as long as I can be of service.

I am an ICF certified coach, and received my coaching certification from Presence-Based Coaching, which has a focus on holistic, embodied change. In my coaching work, I incorporate learnings from yogic trainings, many books, over a decade in the tech industry, and countless hours abroad and in nature. I also am a certified Coach Facilitator for the World Happiness Summit.
I am a sister, partner, daughter, friend, godmother, cat-mom, explorer, forever learner, and a devotee to Truth.
Some of my favorite things are swimming, traveling to new countries, long bus rides, reading with my cats on a rainy day, or finishing a crossword on a slow morning. I’m learning Spanish, and currently reading “Conscious Loving.” I’m continuously learning to live in uncertainty, and to move from my heart. I love a grand adventure or a good leap of faith!
After many years traveling, I’ve settled in North Carolina for a time! Follow me on instagram for more!
