Some say showing up is half the battle. How can you best show up and step up to move things forward for yourself and others? Get empowered to break ineffective and self-defeating habits and cycles that sabotage success for you, your business, or your community. If you feel stagnant on your path or challenged to find your direction, then learn how to unfold the greatest potential and absolute best within yourself and those around you.

Your inner life is your seat of power. It fuels how you create, experience, and respond to your outer reality. It drives your decisions. It informs how you play the roles in your life from leader to lover. Mastering your inner life is key to a fruitful, fearless, and balanced pursuit of freedom, happiness, and prosperity. Let me help you launch your best strategy and path to success.

My Story

Having an entrepreneur/rental property investor and a social worker for parents, it was perhaps no surprise that by the time I went off to Business School, I had already launched several business ventures. One of them was a professional development and motivational event series that featured high profile speakers, from politicians to music executives. I soon realized, however, that my undergraduate studies would not be enough to help grow and expand my existing enterprises. I needed to be creative, get more strategic, and tap into other resources to increase my success.

Seizing an amazing opportunity to put my business on the map, I planned a special celebrity event—my biggest and most expensive yet. When it spectacularly crashed, burned, and blew up in my face, it turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me and my business.

In trying to recover from the financial fallout, serendipity lead me to a part-time job working on a spiritual hotline —a gig I landed at the young age of 21 because I was an "old soul" with a few years of informal metaphysical studies under my belt and, most importantly because the supervisor who interviewed me said her guides told her to hire me despite my "looking like a deer in headlights" during the interview. Celeste Harper became one of my most important teachers and trainers.

The inner work I did in Celeste's group showed me how my "stuff" got in the way of my success and gave me new tools, skills, and understanding to integrate with my passion for business, motivation, and professional development. Taking my exploration of mind, body, spirit and emotions further with graduate university studies in metaphysics and later mental health and education, my holistic approach to personal, professional, and business development emerged.

But wait…what's that picture of me on a motorcycle? That's a story for another time! 😊
