My coaching approach weaves intuition, empathy, somatic awareness, and vision. This integration helps clients not both understand themselves deeply and also feel that understanding in their body - creating change that is both grounded and lasting.
I work with those who are already on a path of growth and are ready to deepen it - to move from self-awareness into embodied self-trust. Together, we explore what it means to live and lead from authenticity rather than conditioning, and to make choices aligned with your own values and vision.
Growth, to me, is about returning to the truth of who you already are. My role is to walk beside you as a grounded presence, a mirror, and a trusted partner in your unfolding.

I've always been drawn to the space where the practical meets the profound - where systems, relationships, and inner wisdom converge. My path includes decades of experience in leadership, healthcare, and human development with a lifelong curiosity about the inner world.
Outside of coaching, you'll often find me in nature, meditation, running, traveling, or exploring spiritual practices that deepen my own connection to presence. My journey has included studying philosophy and ethics at UC Santa Cruz, managing complex healthcare operations, caring for both of my parents, and mentoring others through seasons of change.
Each chapter has shaped how I hold space - with steadiness, empathy, and reverence for the human experience.

It’s like how most people have personal fitness trainers to support them in reaching their physical health goals.
