Welcome, friend
Hi friend —

Speaker, facilitator, and coach helping women find joy, presence, and possibility in the here and now.
My Story
Beauty in
the In-Between
I still remember the moment my legs gave out in the hallway. One minute I was standing, holding myself together the way I always had. The next minute, the floor was rushing toward me, and I remember thinking, “Please don’t let anyone see me like this.”
That moment became a before-and-after line. The life I’d built — the career I’d trained for, the identity I’d held, the pace I’d kept — suddenly didn’t fit inside the body I now had.
For years after, I lived in the in-between: sick but still striving, grieving what I’d lost, refusing to stop hoping for what might still be possible.
And then, after my son was born, something shifted. Slowly. Quietly. In a way that felt almost suspicious. One day I took him for a walk in the stroller — without my mobility aids — and called no one for backup. My body held. The next day, it held again. And with each step, I felt both exhilarated and terrified.
Because improvement didn’t erase my questions:
Who am I now?
Where do I belong?
Am I still “ill enough” to claim disability?
Am I “well enough” to re-enter the world as I knew it?
What happens if this progress disappears tomorrow?
It was disorienting — to feel possibility and uncertainty braided together. But somewhere in that tender, wobbly middle, I realized:
“I don’t have to wait for life to become easier or clearer to live it fully. I can build a life worth living right here, in the shifting now. And I don’t have to do it alone.”
The Heart of the Work
Now, I help women navigating illness, caregiving, motherhood, and overwhelming seasons carve out a life that feels meaningful today — not someday.
My work blends:
- Lived experience Years of navigating illness, identity, and reinvention.
- Neuroscience & nervous-system grounding Real tools that work in real bodies.
- Health justice & equity principles Because your struggles aren’t character flaws — they’re systemic.
- Community care Because we weren’t meant to hold any of this alone.
You don’t need a fresh start. You don’t need to become someone new. You don’t need perfect capacity or perfect clarity. You need support that honors your actual life — the one you’re living right now — and helps you find joy, steadiness, and spaciousness within it.
Who I Work With
I work with women who…
- are burned out from being “the strong one”
- live with chronic illness, unpredictable symptoms, or shifting capacity
- are new mothers navigating identity, overwhelm, or caregiving
- feel behind or “out of sync” with the life they imagined
- are grieving the version of themselves they used to be
- crave community, gentleness, and relief
- want a path forward that doesn’t require pretending they’re fine
If you’ve ever felt like life has been happening to you, I help you reconnect to the places where your life can happen with you again.
