Let’s get in the water…
I’ve seen some things— the messy middle, the crumbling edges, and the unexpected clarity that shows up after a few decades of living, leading, losing and loving.
I’ve closed chapters. I’ve let my curiosity lead the way. I’ve carried the load. I’ve held the line, and I’m learning how to soften without disappearing.
“Your Third Act- (this phase of life) is an initiation. And if you’re standing on the edge of the known or unknown— you’re exactly where you need to be.”
Why I do this work
I love the magic of connection. The more connected we are to ourselves, with others and the world around us, the more we see that we’re not alone. Connection starts with curiosity.
After many conversations with women—friends, clients, colleagues—it’s fascinating to see how similar we are. What’s more, we’re not alone. We each have an inherent glorious fullness that we struggle to recognize, step into, and own about ourselves.
Every time a woman connects more deeply to her intuition and with who she really is—releasing the things that don’t and won’t define her—it gives permission to the women around her to do the same.
This is where the gold is. This is the work I love to do, because I’m doing it too.
“I wasn’t called. I wandered in curious and finally paying attention”
My coaching journey was inspired by two wonderful executive coaches who moved through phases of my own becoming. The experience was nothing short of transformative. As I began to unlearn fear-based thinking, observe and reframe my own thoughts, and trust myself, I started to see the range of possibility that exists beyond the absolutes of yes/no, right/wrong, us/them.
I paid much closer attention to my internal dialogue—which all too often sounded often defeating, judgmental, and perfectionistic. I began filtering through the noise of assumptions and expectations of who I “should” be. In doing so, I discovered my own wants, desires, callings, capabilities, uniqueness, and intuition.
And of course, as life would have it, it’s a constant evolution!
I was not so much “called” into coaching, as I was led to it through a series of events—crossing paths and connecting with many amazing people who showed me how to be more curious about myself, other people, and life. Becoming a coach felt inevitable because I began to trust my intuition. Once that spark ignited, that was it. I just knew.
Who I Help
As a coach, I am a change catalyst. My clients are women from all aspects of work and life, who crave to be more of who they already are. I am a collector of questions, a cultivator of curiosity, a fervent believer in possibility, and an ally of choice.
What I Bring With Me
I have a wildly meandering educational and career path that includes hairstylist, dental office manager, carpenter, radio and television broadcaster, arts administrator, entrepreneur, sponsorship and fund development manager…!!!
I’m deeply appreciative of each of these experiences and the depth of perspective they’ve given me. Each chapter helped shape how I work, how I lead, and how I hold space for others. I’ve survived cancer at 18, entered menopause early, recovered from both acute and chronic stress, and experienced life as a childfree woman. I have an ongoing curiosity for the mystic and magical, and a deep, personal connection to somatic practice and its impact on our capacity to grow and thrive.
These lived experiences, alongside lessons from burnout, emotional labour, and recovery, are all part of what I bring to my coaching and facilitation. My work is real, rooted, and reflective. Always.
