Hello and Welcome

My Journey

 

My path to this work wasn't linear. I spent 12 years in non-profit and international development, working in the United States, Colombia, and Kenya applying my Masters in International Relations. During those years, I saw firsthand how individual flourishing is always interconnected with the wellbeing of our communities and planet. I witnessed both the beauty and the brokenness of our world, and it deepened my conviction that lasting change must include inner discovery and growth.

 

The transition to coaching came naturally as I realized my deepest passion is helping individuals reclaim their agency and wisdom. I began working at the root level, supporting people to transform their relationship with themselves in order to improve their lives and show up more fully in their families, communities, and the world.

​

Whether someone comes to me struggling as a new mom or empty nester, facing a major life transition, or feeling stuck in unhealthy habits, we work together to create practical, sustainable changes that honor both their human needs and their deeper calling.

​

My Foundation

 

My approach to coaching and community building is deeply informed by my spiritual path, which weaves together Mahayana Buddhist practice with my Christian roots. This foundation shapes how I create space for others while honoring each person's unique path. I believe that our deepest wisdom emerges when we listen beyond the conditioned mind and body, whether through meditation, prayer, community, or small experiments in daily life. 

​

This goes beyond abstract philosophy to tangible action in your everyday life, like how you nourish your body or help a neighbor in need. 

 

I'm committed to creating spaces where everyone feels welcome. I honor each person's unique path and spiritual perspective, or lack thereof. The practices and experiments I share can be engaged with from any background—the focus is always on helping you connect with your own inner wisdom, whatever form that takes for you. 

 

Professional Background

 

I've received extensive training and certification as a coach, positive psychology practitioner, and HeartMath facilitator. I have over a decade of meditation experience and am currently training as a meditation teacher with John Churchill of Planetary Dharma. My toolkit includes training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and The Change Triangle. In addition to my personal coaching practice, I guide retreats and design experiential workshops and programs. 

 

Beyond Work

 

Life has been my greatest teacher. I've sailed the seas as a former sailboat captain, lived in a remote Mongolian village as a Peace Corps volunteer, lived and worked internationally for 13 years, and now navigate the beautiful chaos of life with my husband, two children, and two frisky cats. I'm a regular meditator, podcast aficionado, nature enthusiast, Scorpio, and Enneagram 7.

 

I take my work seriously and also bring a playful, light-hearted energy to everything I do. I grew up in Jersey which gives me a straight-talker, life-is-too-absurd-not-to-laugh kind of vibe. These varied experiences—from the profound to the mundane—all inform how I show up in my coaching. I don't have all the answers, but I'm a committed fellow traveler who believes deeply in the power of community, personal practice, and taking small, yet courageous, action.
