Our North Star

What if…

We led ourselves with more curiosity, courage, and compassion?

At the heart of our work is a belief that life — including how we lead ourselves, our families, our communities, and our places of work — can be more humanized, more whole, and more soulfully aligned. To realize this vision, I draw on decades of experience in psychological sciences, strategic consulting, and sacred space-holding to serve as a co-navigator for people and organizations moving through growth, transition, and transformation. Whether through one-on-one coaching, group facilitation, or soul-centered learning, my approach is grounded in curiosity, courage, and compassion—with a healthy dose of levity and tenderness in appreciation for what makes humans so perfectly imperfect.

Your Co-Conspirator

In the joyful, the bittersweet, and the impossibly hard; you don’t have to go it alone.
