ABOUT ME

Here’s a bit of a deeper dive for anyone who’s interested—Feel free to skip it. 

In 2015, shortly after getting sober, I began practicing yoga to help myself heal. I joined a women’s recovery group and implemented journaling and meditation practices. I embraced a holistic spiritual approach to recovery, and I began to rediscover my power and peace. I hired a life coach and began the deep soul work of identifying and healing past traumas. I learned to trust my higher self and my intuition. 

In January of 2017, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. My spiritual practice supported me through my diagnosis, treatment—including a bilateral mastectomy—and recovery. My faith in the Universe was deepened and strengthened through this process, for which I am immensely grateful.

In May of 2021 I earned my 200-hour yoga teacher certification, and in November of 2021 I traveled to Tulum in Mexico to attend a yoga retreat. While there, I experienced a creative awakening and spiritual shift. Through ancient Mayan healing practices, I was able to connect directly to Source and receive heart-centered guidance and healing. It was there that the trajectory of my life irrevocably changed.

At that time, I had been working in the mortgage industry since 2004 and had built a lucrative business. While it afforded me a very good living, it had become toxic. Success came at the expense of self. Society and the industry had conditioned me to grind, to hustle, to overwork, and to wear it as a badge of honor. Boundaries were consistently crossed. Balance was a castle in the sky. The degree to which I felt I had to be accessible to my customers, co-workers, and referral partners was unsustainable and soul crushing. I decided there had to be a better way. 

I enrolled in the ICF-accredited Dharma Coaching Institute on the flight home from Tulum, and over the six months that followed I completed a dual certification as a Dharma and Spiritual Life Coach. I promptly quit my 6-figure job in mortgage and started coaching women. I chose to throw caution to the wind, make a leap of faith, and trust fall into the Universe. So far, so good.

For the first time in my life, I am allowing myself to be guided by my heart, my intuition, and my Higher Self instead of by my head and my ego…and I have never been happier! I am a Reiki healer. I’ve learned to read the Akashic records. I am working with a badass group of women to create a community cooperative. I co-facilitate women’s groups. I teach yoga. I realized that “coaching” isn’t really a great description for what I do; coaches provide structured support to help clients achieve specific goals, while intuitive guides facilitate deeper self-discovery and alignment with one's inner wisdom and intuition. So now, as opposed to taking clients through structured programming, I simply open my calendar up for sessions where I help women problem solve using their own inner guidance. It’s the most fulfilling work I’ve ever done.

I host a podcast called The Dharma Diaries. I recorded some episodes on my own in 2022 and they were shit because I was still in that space where I cared about external validation and other people’s opinions of me. So I scrapped them and decided to start over with reimagined content and a fantastic co-host. My co-host and I have since parted ways, and now I bounce between solocasting and inviting cool ass chicks to come talk into microphones with me! Because y’all—we all literally can do whatever we want!!! 

I am writing a book, I co-host a virtual women’s community called The Circle, and I eventually plan to co-host destination retreats to provide healing encounters like the one I experienced in Tulum. I also blog from time to time when I feel creatively inspired. And I still dabble in mortgage lending because I’m good at it…but I am discerning and intentional about how that looks. These days, I work only on what lights me up and feeds my soul.

My work is to create, to experience, to grow, to heal, and to support women in leaving behind the false and limiting beliefs that our identities and worth are determined by what we DO and not whom we ARE. I believe in divesting from societal programming and conditioning. I stand for personal sovereignty and autonomy.  

I am an entrepreneur, a spiritual being, a visionary, an artist, an entertainer, and a goddess.

I am powerful, I am magical, and I am ready.  

And so are you.
