You didn’t land here by accident. Your soul led you.

There’s a quiet knowing within you—a whisper that says you’re meant for more. More fulfillment. More alignment. More aliveness. And yet, despite all the inner work, effort, and searching… something still feels missing.

I see you. I know that place. And I want you to know: it doesn’t have to stay this way.

I’m a certified life coach with a professional background in occupational therapy, social services, and spiritual development. I work with individuals who are ready to transform the areas of their lives that feel unfulfilling—whether it’s their relationships, career, business, finances, health, or sense of purpose.

What sets my work apart is not just the tools I use, but the way I see the world—and others.

I live with aphantasia, the inability to visualize mental images, and I also don’t experience a traditional “inner voice.” These experiences, once confusing, have become my greatest gifts. They’ve taught me to deeply understand and honor the many different ways people think, feel, and process life. If you've ever struggled with visualization-based practices or felt like traditional self-help approaches didn’t quite work for you—you're in the right place.

I offer a grounded, soul-led alternative to conventional coaching.

My work is rooted in intuitive guidance, somatic practices, sensory exploration, therapeutic creativity, mindset shifts, and spiritual insight. These tools are adaptable, inclusive, and designed to meet you exactly where you are—especially if your inner world doesn’t look or feel like anyone else’s.

I believe that transformation doesn’t come from forcing yourself to fit into someone else’s model of success. It comes from reconnecting to your own wisdom, learning to trust your inner guidance, and designing a life that feels true to who you are.

My own journey is living proof. On the outside, I had a respected career in occupational therapy and a solid foundation from over a decade in social services. I lived in a vibrant city, had people tell me how “lucky” I must feel—but inside, I felt burned out, disconnected, and deeply unfulfilled.

It wasn’t until I began honoring my unique mind and following my intuitive path that everything started to shift. The journey was not always easy—but it was sacred. What I discovered was that the key to fulfillment was not out there—it was within me all along. I just needed to learn how to access it in a way that worked for me.

Now, it is my soul’s calling to help others do the same.

Whether you process life through emotion, sensation, energy, or thought… whether your mind is loud or quiet, visual or abstract… I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can be fully seen, fully heard, and fully supported.

Together, we’ll gently uncover what’s no longer serving you, reconnect you to what’s true, and co-create a life that feels deeply authentic, nourishing, and meaningful.

This is your invitation.
To stop settling. To stop striving in ways that don’t feel aligned. To come home to yourself.

                                                                                                                                                    

I am so glad that you are here.

M y O f f e r i n g

I help people who feel stuck or unfulfilled reconnect with their inner wisdom and sense of purpose, so they can create meaningful, lasting change in their lives—from relationships and career to health, finances, and the deeper, more authentic version of themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is a life coach?

    A life coach is someone who can support you to reach your goals when your current efforts are not creating the results that you desire. You are in full control of the areas of your life that are addressed and all tools & strategies are used only with your consent. Your life coach simply guides you along the process so that you can move forward and creates the safe & non-judgmental space that allows you to grow and explore.

  • What can I expect from coaching sessions?

    Coaches may use a variety of tools, strategies, and resources such as active listening, providing individualized journal prompts, visualizations (if appropriate), powerful questioning to widen perspectives, and somatic practices to honor energy because many of us believe the mind and body are connected. Every coach is unique and offers their own style.

  • What makes your style unique?

    My coaching style is deeply shaped by my experience with aphantasia—the absence of mental imagery and an inner voice. This unique way of experiencing the world has opened my heart and mind to the beautiful diversity of how we think, feel, and learn. I blend both traditional methods with intuitive, sensory, and somatic techniques to craft a coaching journey that honors your individual rhythm and inner truth, empowering you to grow in a way that feels authentic and deeply aligned.

  • Can I work with a life coach if it is difficult to express my feelings?

    Absolutely. I do not take lightly the courage and vulnerability that it takes to begin to explore how you may feel. My approach is gentle yet effective to start at the foundational level for people to notice and understand how they feel when it is unfamiliar to them.

  • What is the schedule for sessions?

    Sessions are held weekly for one hour. There is a one week break every 3 weeks to allow for reflection and introspection of your new insights.

  • Where do we meet?

  • How do I know if I could benefit from working with a coach?

    You could benefit from coaching services if the current methods that you are using to change your relationships, career, finances, health, and personal fulfillment are not producing the results that you want.
