If you’ve been searching for someone who actually understands, You're in the right place...

You’ve been carrying a version of yourself that no longer fits.

A version built around everyone else’s needs, expectations, and timelines. And somewhere in the middle of maintaining it all, you lost the thread back to who you actually are.

You’re not falling apart. But you’re not fully alive either. You’re somewhere in between functional, capable, and quietly exhausted by a life that looks fine from the outside but feels hollow from the inside.

You’ve probably tried to fix it. Read the books. Set the intentions. Started over more than once. But the old patterns keep returning, the confidence keeps slipping, and the question that sits beneath everything..." is this really it?" just won’t go away.

I know that place. I’ve sat in it myself. And I’ve spent over two decades learning how to find the way out.

I didn’t become a Coach because I had it all figured out. I became one Because I didn't.

Long before I had a certification or a program or a name for what I was doing, I had friends. Women who would call me in the middle of their hardest seasons, going through transitions they couldn’t name, stuck in patterns they couldn’t break, quietly falling apart behind the lives they’d built.

I’d sit with them. Listen. Ask the questions nobody else was asking. And something would shift. Not because I had a script, but because I had instinct, I had my own story, and I wasn’t afraid to be honest.

Those women changed their lives. And I wasn’t charging a single dollar for it.

That’s when I knew. This wasn’t something I did. It was something I was made for.

The journey that shaped everything

I grew up with a father who was deeply spiritual. A man whose faith shaped the way I understood energy, purpose, and the invisible forces that move through life. That foundation never left me, even as my own path evolved.

At 22, something woke up in me. My first pregnancy and getting married made me look at everything differently. What I was putting into my body, how I was living, what kind of woman I wanted to become. I started meditating. Studying energy. Paying attention to what most people walk past.

At 23, a woman came into my life who changed everything. A mentor, a healer, a mirror … she helped me see myself in a way I never had before. She’s been in my life for two and a half decades now, and her influence is woven into everything I do.

At 25, after the birth of my daughter, I studied Healing Touch. That was the moment it all clicked into place, the connection between energy, thought, emotion, and the life we create. I went on to become a certified Holistic Life Coach and Reiki Practitioner. More recently I have been studying for my Doctorate in Metaphysics. Not because I needed letters after my name, but because I needed the framework to match what I already knew in my bones.

After divorce, entrepreneurial lessons, a corporate career, and a laundry list of teachable moments … midlife arrived. Not as a crisis, but as a reckoning. A season that asked me to look honestly at who I’d become, what I’d been carrying, and whether the life I was living was truly mine. That season is the one I help women navigate now. Because I know it from the inside.

The life I’ve built with my partner Shawn

is living proof that doing the inner work doesn’t cost you love, it deepens it. We created BeCome Travel together, and we’ve made Costa Rica a home away from home. This land, its stillness, its wildness, its capacity to hold you … is where I bring women when they’re ready to truly reset. It’s not a backdrop. It’s part of the medicine.

These are not talking points.

They are the things I know to be true about women, about transformation, and about what becomes possible when you stop waiting for permission.

Women have the power to be exactly who they want to be.
You are not broken. You are carrying beliefs that were never yours to begin with.
Energy follows thought. Change your inner world and your outer life follows.
Life moves in seasons. Honoring the one you’re in is not weakness, it’s wisdom
The most radical thing a woman can do is choose herself fully, without apology, without guilt.

Away from work, I’m the friend who shows up.

The one who has your back when things fall apart and tells you the truth even when it’s uncomfortable, but always with love.

I’m sentimental and nurturing. I notice the small things. I remember what matters to the people I care about. I cry at the right moments and laugh loudly at the rest.

I live slowly and intentionally. Mornings in Costa Rica with tea and the sound of nature, evenings around a fire with people I love. I believe in the power of presence, the healing capacity of the natural world, and the kind of connection that happens when women feel truly safe.

That’s the energy I bring into every session, every retreat, every conversation. Not performance. Just presence.

Here’s what I’ve studied, trained in, and carried into this work:

Certified Holistic Life Coach
Certified Reiki Practitioner
Healing Touch Practitioner
Project Management Professional
20+ years of personal study in energy work, mindset, and holistic wellness
Co-founder of BeCome Travel — retreat design and facilitation
Host of the Positively Purposed Podcast

A note: I am not a therapist. I am a transformational life coach — which means we work on the beliefs, patterns, and habits that are keeping you from the life you want. If you need clinical support, I will always encourage you to seek it. What I offer is the coaching work that sits alongside that; practical, holistic, and deeply personal.

If something in you recognized itself on this page, that’s not an accident.

The women who find their way here are usually ready, even if they don’t quite believe it yet. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to take one step.

Start Gently

Come on a retreat.

Five days in Costa Rica to rest, reconnect, and return home better than the woman you’ve been neglecting. No long commitment. Just space.

My Foundation

I am who I am because of the people who have held me.

A small, carefully chosen circle of friends who have shown up through every hard season without question. Parents who gave me not just love but mentors, teachers, and people who genuinely had my best interests at heart. My adult children, my son and my daughter, who are my greatest source of strength and two of my favourite humans on earth. We have grown into each other in the most beautiful way. They are not just my kids. They are my people.

And then there is Momsie Giah, my angel, still present, still felt. And Tygress, my cat who I raised from a bottle-fed kitten and who has been my quiet, loyal companion ever since.

The life I've built didn't happen in isolation. It happened because the right people were in it.

"I didn't start this work when I got certified. I started it the moment I realized I couldn't look away from a woman in pain ... and that something in me always knew the way to help her through."
