Best Story
Throughout my live I've found pride in accomplishing things that others said I would not be able to do (professional ballerina, Chemical Engineer, Life Coach, Reiki Master, Entrepreneur). If we meet, I'd be happy to share my story which will hopefully inspire you to explore exciting new things.
Origin Story
After 20 years of a successful executive career in the corporate landscape, I learned that being good at my job was not enough to feel fulfilled. Like many leaders, I faced the pressure of living up to other’s expectations every day, until I realized that the work that I had enjoyed for so many years had suddenly become just a job. I realized I had gone from living the dream to simply working for the next paycheck.
Today, after reconnecting with my purpose and embracing the core of who I am, I’ve leveraged my personal experience and expertise to develop a proprietary process that enables professionals to reconnect with their passion, reignite their career, and create the strategies & fearless mindset to achieve the next chapter in their life.
