"I'm passionate about helping people grow, cultivate the strong resilience needed to claim & sustain their unique power, awaken their truth and integrate the change needed to feel more whole, clear, fully embodied and expressed.

 

I thrive at helping people accept and integrate exiled aspects of themselves because it was personally so hard for me to do it in the first place.

 

For years I was struggling with feeling deep down that I was too weird and probably broken. That I had to repeatedly prove my worth to be "enough". I held onto a story of imposter syndrome littered with fear and shame, under a mask of "It's all good". Through some twists and turns, eventually I was able to let all that nonsense go and embrace an unshakable self love and courage that is possible for everyone with good support.

 

I lead by example. I've grown to embrace & love our strange and often f*cked up collective human journey as well as my personal story. I have ventured far enough in my own inner work over the past 20 years to lend a hand to others, without taking myself too seriously (I'm not into the guru model).

​

I know deeply that life is a great & mysterious adventure to be enjoyed- even when it's really hard.

 

The truth, joy and purpose we all seek to embrace can be revealed and actualized if we are willing to put in the effort.

 

What works for me and the communities I build is playful yet disciplined self exploration with an emphasis on integration, accountability, and letting go".
