My Story

I had 30 years of living my dream career as a professional dancer and I was in a wonderful place until illness and past wounds caused by others caught up with me. Lyme Disease, chronic illness, and trauma beyond what anyone should ever have to endure continued to take a stronghold. Yet the warrior in me was still not ready to give up. I was determined to feel passion for life again.  

I hoped that being a mom and a wife, writing or spending time with friends would make that fire and passion in me come back. I finally caved to the idea that my life would never be as magical as it was for those 30 years. I would give myself months of pity parties, playing the victim until I just couldn’t take it anymore. 

That warrior in me rose again. I would not allow my spirit, my soul, and my heart to fall prey to the tricks our minds play on us.

I was encouraged by my doctor to get some coaching after he asked me the dreaded question of what terrible things must have happened to me and at what age did I remember feeling the happiest and healthiest? As the answer flew out of my mouth, I quickly realized that no medical doctor would lead me back to my passion and make the very real pain stop. 

I was about a year into making tangible progress when my worst fear from my childhood to this very day took over my whole soul. I lost my mom to Alzheimer’s disease and realized my world would never be the same again. My mom was my source of unconditional love, and she was gone. Suddenly, I became like Alice: falling down the rabbit hole, I was forced to view and feel life differently rather than recreate what had already been. This was actually the biggest blessing my mom could have ever given to me. 

I came to understand and accept that believing 30 years of dancing was not my only gift and passion. I learned of my other talents and gifts and claimed them with gratitude and much respect. 

My soul and spirit will forever dance because it is simply how I move through this world and with others, metaphorically as well as physically. I discovered I am uniquely built to hold a safe space for others; to shine a light for them to see their truth; to help them put one foot in front of the other; to hold them to their highest self; to be a powerful and creative leader by listening, sharing tools, helping one to think freely for their answers. I will stand in my power keeping you from falling backwards into old stories, habits, patterns, and limiting beliefs. I will be your soulful warrior..​

I can honestly say I would never change any of what I have lived through. It forced me to rediscover who I am: an empathic person that can feel the soul and pure heart of others. That passion I was in search of was always there. I just stopped looking for it from the outside and started listening to the voice inside of me and set on the path to loving myself.  

For children and young adults, I will be their permission slip to find the courage they might need to be exactly who they are while celebrating their unique ways and giving them the necessary tools to navigate through this often confusing and messy world. They will learn it’s okay when life gets tough at times, they will have self-soothing methods and coping skills. Once we understand how our minds think, we can honor ourselves and learn how to drop into our heart and operate from a place of response not reaction. 

Of course as kids, they should feel safe with a trusted source that listens without judging them and that will stand for their individuality, making a safe place for them to speak openly without fear.​

I absolutely love discovering and creating the right tools that are fun, easy to apply immediately, thought provoking, and will even shine a light that radiates to others inspiring those around you. It's like magic when it all starts falling into place.

It feels amazing and life becomes lighter as the weight of the world falls away.

We are souls having a human experience on this planet!

Perfection does not exist so we can continue to learn and grow.

I can't wait to meet you!

LET'S GO!
