Embodied Leadership Coach

Resilience & Relationship Catalyst

Since 1992, I have been deeply immersed in the study and practice of embodiment, drawing from a rich spectrum of disciplines, including Leadership Embodiment, the Strozzi Institute, Equine-Guided Coaching, Reiki, Polarity Therapy, Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, yoga, meditation, conscious dance, massage therapy, and breathwork.

Embodiment is the bridge between our physical presence and our lived experience—it shapes how we perceive the world, connect with others, and navigate life’s challenges. When we disconnect from our bodies, we lose access to vitality, clarity, confidence, and authentic connection.

My own journey with embodiment has been one of profound transformation. By fully embracing my sensate experience, I healed past traumas, deepened my self-worth, and reshaped my relationships. I learned to speak with authenticity, listen with an open heart, and move through life with greater resilience, wisdom, and purpose.

Now, my passion is sharing this work with others—helping individuals and teams cultivate presence, build resilience, and create meaningful impact in their personal and professional lives.

As a Resilience Catalyst, I support individuals and leaders in deepening trust, navigating challenges with confidence, communicating with authenticity, and cultivating relationships that inspire, support, and thrive in all areas of life.

I am…

Deeply passionate about helping individuals tune into their inner wisdom to:

  • Discover their authentic voice.

  • Lead with clarity, confidence, and integrity.

  • Inspire others to reach their full potential.

  • Cultivate self-awareness, social-awareness, and emotional intelligence.

A champion for every voice being heard. I believe no single person holds all the answers. True solutions arise when we share our experiences, insights, and questions, co-creating a path forward.

A recovering perfectionist, learning to embrace curiosity over black-and-white thinking. Perfection is a mindset that limits growth, but curiosity opens doors to opportunity, helping us navigate life’s ups and downs with grace.

Endlessly curious about what drives and inspires each individual.

A good listener who values deep connection and understanding.

A lover of nature, animals, and adventure—you’ll often find me hiking, recharging outdoors, or reflecting on the lessons I learned as a former endurance athlete.

An Enneagram 9 and an ambivert, thriving in both solitude and connection with others.

My life has been a labyrinth of transitions and transformations. I’ve experienced the ground shifting beneath me, taken big leaps, stumbled, and endured some of life’s darkest moments. But through it all, I’ve learned how to get back up and move forward—how to listen for clarity, cultivate resilience, and live authentically with purpose and meaning.

If you’re curious about how I can support you—or want to hear more about my journey—let’s connect. I’d be honored to hear your story and explore how I can help you on your path.
