My coaching journey started over a decade ago while I was getting a master’s degree in Conflict Resolution, learning how to facilitate disagreements and the importance of getting curious about the WHY’s. Why do we get triggered? Why do we sabotage our dreams? Why do we blame others? I developed a deep understanding of how holding onto stories and beliefs from our past can limit our future potential, and how holding onto resentment and hurt can hold us back from growth and from deepening relationships with others and ourselves.

Over time, I became more knowledgeable about this style of “self-assessment” and how it can positively impact our relationships and our lives overall. I developed a passion for supporting others facing their own form of “self-assessment,” particularly those facing end-of-life decisions and transitions and expanded my studies into the field of palliative care. Helping clients and their loved ones navigate these conflicts I kept seeing examples where ones’ hopes and dreams were in direct conflict with their words and actions. 

This led me to dive deeper into understanding how interpersonal conflicts impact our personal alignment and the mind-body connection as it relates to healing and growth. Guiding me to develop a personal yoga study and to receive certification as a Trauma Informed Coach and a Reiki level III practitioner. Integrating my conflict resolution training with the wisdom of these more somatic modalities, I support my clients as they explore how to create greater alignment in their lives through relationships, most importantly their relationship with themselves.  

I have spent a decade applying my coaching and mediation skills in leadership roles at tech startups and all these experiences come together in the work I do as a coach. And I consider it a privilege to support my clients as they reassess their relationship with “relationships,” both personally and interpersonally.
