How i got here
(And the magic we might make together)
(And the magic we might make together)
Let yourself sink into the possibility that you are worthy of all of this…
Your portal to seeing yourself clearly, belonging to yourself, validating yourself and the possibility of a life on your terms. This is the groundwork of stripping back the programming and beginning to self-attach; attuning to your needs, desires and feelings. You can begin to go after the life, relationships and career you are made for all because you know you’re worthy of it.
Your portal to embodying congruence in your mind, body and spirit where a levity, resilience and deep joy for life begin to emerge. You decide to be honest with yourself and let every part of you be welcome to the table (light and shadow alike). You decide to honor what’s real for you with curiosity, acceptance and grace. This is what I call true salvation.
Your portal to being in your creative flow, leading with integrity and allowing yourself to show up and be seen. Boundaries, self-trust and discernment allow you to make the changes you need to make with love without waiting for outside permission or approval. You’re living the life you’re worthy of because you have agency, from the inside out.
I've lived many lives.
One as a child in an enmeshed environment. One as a competitive martial artist. One as a hip hop dancer. One as an evangelical radical speaking in tongues. One as a baptist scholar. One as a heretic. One as a seeker of healing. One as a married woman "doing it all right." One as an ambitious entrepreneur. One as a divorcee. One as a woman coming into her own fluid sexuality. Always asking questions. Always shedding. Alchemizing. Taking notes and sharing them with fellow travelers seeking home.
It’s easy for me to let healing feel both deep and buoyant at the same time— we came here to be fully human. I'm so down to enjoy my time here with less dogma and more grace.
I’m a lover of all things creative, expansive, spiritual, strategic, imaginative, and forward moving.
Although I’m a naturally upbeat and energetic person, I spent 17+ years looking for answers; taking time to dive deep into my own healing and education. I spent years in therapy, in church pews, with podcasts in my ears, investing in coaching, getting a degree in interpersonal communication and psychology, taking in and sifting through many healing paths learning to thrive and understand my own traumatic and dysfunctional history.
Though my insatiable curiosity, what some might call a radical hunger for life, I learned to sit with the depths of life without getting jaded and believe that no-matter the programming of the past, there is always hope to rewrite the script, embody your fullness and create a life on your own terms.
— Ariana Grande was my most listened to artist of the last decade.
— I am proudly queer and came out at 27.
— I started life-coaching at 23.
—I’m synesthetic and neurodivergent. What once was described as being “an intense, bright and difficult child” has evolved into an intuitive ability with pattern recognition and creative thinking. After much grief in a late in life diagnosis, Autism has become one of my greatest strengths as a depth coach.
— I’m a Virgo sun, Pisces moon and Libra rising and am a 4/1 generator in human design.
— I’m an avid moon-circler and have taken to aligning my life and work with natural cycles.
— I’m on an active journey to dismantle how I’ve internalized systems of oppression and although it informs the work I do, I’m most definitely still learning.
— I was the recipient of BYCA’s International Coach Of The Year in 2017, a real dream come true.
— I believe comedy and pop music are more spiritual than church, and on any given day you’ll find me practicing my prayer language of both laughter and dance (see my movement playlist below… thank me later).
Which is why the work I do is not about fixing you: it’s about getting out of autopilot, shedding the persona and old stories, and beginning to live from your True Essence (your most authentic self).
You hold the power to create a life with healthy habits, thriving & reciprocal relationships, and go after your dreams, your way, when you reconnect to your true self, beyond the programming and conditioning.

“There is no place so awake and alive as the edge of becoming. But more than that, birthing the kind of woman who can authentically say, 'My soul is my own,' and then embody it in her life, her spirituality, and her community is worth the risk and hardship.”
— Sue Monk Kidd
