A bit about me
"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all."
–Helen Keller
I began my career as an intellectual property lawyer at a boutique law firm in Vancouver, British Columbia. After nearly a decade in private practice, I transitioned to an in-house counsel role and, for several years, worked inside companies alongside inspiring people in fast-paced industries.
Like many high-achievers, I was praised for being capable, driven, and resilient. But behind the scenes, I was exhausted from constantly pushing myself, trying to meet impossible standards, and sacrificing my well-being in the name of success.
Coaching helped me course-correct—first subtly, and eventually in ways that changed my life. Through my own healing and transformation, I discovered a different way to lead: one rooted in clarity, alignment, self-trust, and joy. I left law and founded my coaching practice to help others do the same.
Now, I help high-achieving professionals—especially women in leadership—reconnect to what truly matters, align their ambition with their values, and lead lives that feel as good on the inside as they look on the outside.
Through one-on-one coaching, workshops, and group coaching experiences, I support my clients to:
-
Reclaim joy, presence, and well-being
-
Unlearn perfectionism and performance-based worth
-
Lead with more confidence, authenticity, and ease
-
Build meaningful, sustainable success
I also work with forward-thinking organizations to create space for reflection, emotional intelligence, and purpose-driven leadership.
Drawing on my experiences navigating a demanding legal career and my training as an accredited Integral® coach, I provide tailored guidance to my clients, equipping them with awareness and the unique tools and strategies they need to thrive in relationships, at work, and in their own skin. My approach as a coach is rooted in empathy, authenticity, and a commitment to foster growth and development. I believe in the power of coaching to unlock individual potential and drive meaningful change. My mission is to empower others to overcome challenges, seize opportunities, and lead healthy, fulfilling, and impactful lives.

A bit more
I remarried in 2022 to the love of my life and my now partner of 7+ years. Together, we have a blended family of three dogs and live in Rossland, British Columbia, Canada. We recently left our long-time home in Squamish to pursue a good life of tranquility and adventure.
I love a serious challenge, the kind that not only illuminates the cracks but also the abilities you hadn’t before seen in yourself. I’m an Ironman® and Iditarod Trail Invitational finisher. I’m passionate about supporting others as they challenge themselves. I love laughing and finding the humour in the struggle.
