Pursue the freedom, Wholeness, and independence you truly want in your life.

We all have a dream life that is waiting for us to answer the call. Maybe it’s a path that can feel a bit scary or unfamiliar because it differs from what our families, cultures, or societal expectations have told us WHAT to want, and why.

Perhaps your desires for something different, more aligned, and reflects who you are now are gently tapping you on the shoulder. They may even be yelling for your attention or begging you to please make that change.

We all want to feel a sense of Wholeness and freedom in our minds, bodies, and spirits so that we can feel more fulfilled, confident, and at peace with our empowered choices.

If you:

  • Have often “played it safe” with your life choices and are unsatisfied with what currently is

  • Feel that there is a part of you that is broken because you haven’t found the right partner or decided to not have kids

  • Experience a tug between two worlds—one that is influenced by external forces and the one that’s within yourself

  • Need help in navigating such challenges, and want a Coach who has lived experience that can guide, hold space, and keep you accountable to yourself, in service of YOUR dream…..

Then you’re in the right place.

I’ve been there, time and again, during my 20+ years working in corporate and higher education, within a variety of leadership roles, teams, and organizational changes.

Let’s partner together and get closer to answering the call for your Dream Life that you long for. You are deserving of it.

And I’ll be there beside you, championing you all the way.
