How my journey began
Awakening
Raised in a multigenerational family of entrepreneurs, in my early adulthood, I prioritized external success over my inner well-being. This disconnect resulted in my fair share of adversity, ranging from two near fatal car accidents to breakdowns in close relationships and business partnerships. I realized something would have to change.
Metamorphosis
My journey would soon take me on a fascinating path full of questions and insights. Who am I? What am I about? How do my thoughts influence my feelings and my actions? These are just some of the questions I faced within a personal desire for mind-body connection.
After pursuing both traditional and alternative healing modalities, I began to see the benefits of an integrative approach. Each improvement fed my curiosity and encouraged me to continue seeking. I quenched my thirst for more by traveling and learning across 6 continents, becoming a certified coach, yoga teacher, reiki master and certified massage therapist.
Rebirth
This journey of over two decades not only brought my own healing, but helped me uncover my calling of facilitating these breakthroughs for others.
I am fortunate to apply all my knowledge and experience to assist others in creating more fulfillment, continuous expansion and lasting impact in their lives. I am passionate about my work with individuals, groups and organizations, and this has led to numerous collaborations with several world-class institutions such as Nexus, YPO and BMW Foundation.
Life’s adversities create opportunities to become better versions of ourselves. As an integrative coach, I look forward to partnering with you to navigate life’s ups and downs and accelerate your evolution and fulfillment.
