During an Inner Mentor Ceremony in November 2020, I met my soul-filled self 20 years in the future, and felt so deeply connected to her that I came back to the present with a powerful commitment to step fully into her. I knew that meant I would be changing my location, my job, and my life circumstances. I powered up my gift of Initiative and in July 2023, said goodbye to my life as a nonprofit executive director and left Colorado with my husband, Jamey, and my son, Anderson. We moved our tiny house on wheels to a 30 acre forest in Midcoast Maine where for the next several months, we lived off-grid while developing the property. In March of 2024, we began sharing a cabin we built near our tiny house on Airbnb.

We are now in the process of implementing our larger vision for our land and life: Creating spaces of love and belonging so people can connect more deeply with themselves and with nature.

These days I feel full of radiance and joy as I spend time playing with my son and partnering with my husband building forest trails, permaculture gardens, and our off-grid cabin. I feel deep gratitude and abundance for getting to connect with my soul’s purpose by working alongside courageous humans (like you) as they fall in love with themselves and initiate their most powerful potential into the world.

MY BACKGROUND

I have had a variety of experiences over my professional life including dance teacher, store manager, actor, operations coordinator, consultant/coach, executive director, and now entrepreneur. During my 23 years in business and people leadership, I have worked in corporate, nonprofit, small business, government, and education sectors. I have led my businesses and people through different organizational life cycles including Idea, Startup, Growth, Mature, and Turnaround stages. I have worked with many different humans over the years, and have successfully engaged in organization and people development, strategy and implementation, advocacy, fundraising and grant writing, event planning, public speaking, problem solving, finance and budgeting, and more. I love this part of my background, and I can definitely drive from that seat. But I love coaching people through the lens of self empowerment because I believe in a world where love belongs in business. So much more goes into that statement and I plan to expand on this in the future, but for now, every person understanding who they are - what they fear and what they offer - is a crucial first step. I have also spent 15+ years practicing a wide range of healing art modalities including yoga, meditation, contemplation, shadow work, inner child healing, and somatic body awareness.
