Why I Do This Work
When I was "successful" at work, my family and friends often paid the price with much more of my absence or lower energy around them.
Even though I kept being promoted, I began to have recurring health challenges, damaging relationship problems, and other serious setbacks.
I thought all of this was "the norm" and that I should just be grateful for what I had.
But something inside my soul kept whispering there was a better way life could be.
I then spent many years learning and practicing natural, powerful techniques that made me more aware of the societal conditioning and default programming inside me. I woke up to the fact that I had mostly disconnected from my intuitive nature. The outer world had become more of my focus and where I first put my energy than my inner world.
When I began studying meditation and mindfulness alongside some of the most incredible leaders in the self-development industry, a big shift began. Then other dynamic teachers like Abraham Hicks and many more crossed my path (ask me sometime what it's like to live with monks for a week).
Finally, after a lot of coaching and support, I could hear my higher self again and regained my self-trust.
Changes in my personal and professional life began to gain positive momentum, including starting my own coaching business so I could help other women thrive.
And ever since, I continue to learn and offer all I can about what works best to grow and glow from the inside out. My most recent education and training included a rigorous program by Mind Body Green where I gained my Life Coach Certification. I am in the process of becoming a Board Certified Coach as well.
Currently, my coaching with women offers practical tools and holistic practices that upgrade how they approach career and life growth.
Sometimes this includes sharing my strategies for connecting to your intuition, interviewing better or maintaining well-being at work. Other times my coaching sessions involve addressing burn out, imposter syndrome, perfectionism, high functioning anxiety, relationship ruptures or other inner conditioning or struggles the client wants to explore.

A Little More Of My Work Experience & Credentials
I loved being a Communications major in undergrad and later a Masters in Counseling graduate student at George Mason University. I studied the best ways that people use to get their message across effectively as well as what it takes to not fall into the traps of burn-out as a high achieving professional.
Long before starting my own business, I served in AmeriCorps after college and worked for other non-profits. I then dedicated almost fifteen years of my career as a leader and manager in public service coaching jobseekers, career changers, and small business owners while working closely to help employers find their best hires.
But I noticed over and over again that traditional methods of obtaining professional opportunities were often slow, frustrating, and full of dead ends.
This discovery led me to combining my lessons as a career and life development professional with my training in spiritual practices, including yoga, Reiki, and meditation, into my coaching. I also create and share stress-reducing tools that help boring, heavy chores, such as interview prep and building up your visibility on LinkedIn, be more enjoyable and successful.
Today, it is my passion to equip you with clarity, well-being. and genuine confidence to accomplish your dreams.
My approach has been published in several places and I have been awarded by workforce development boards for my impact on the future workforce.
It's no secret to my family and friends that I love what I do to help others build satisfying career and life momentum. I am also a proud Mom who enjoys anything that keeps things fun at work. I love Lip Sync Battles and celebrating everything from National Chocolate Day to April Fool's Day, watching General Hospital (since I was ten ☺️), cheering on my beloved alma mater GMU (go Mason Nation), and eating all types of chips and salsa (if you add in guacamole we might become besties).

Why Choose To Work Together?
This graphic by Liz and Mollie is one of my favorite. Does it resonate with you?
While rising up in management in local government at employment centers for over 10 years, my favorite part was coaching jobseekers, career changers, and small business owners. I realized there is nothing like the feeling of empowering others to go from feeling stuck to instead having the support, knowledge, and practice they need to move forward.
The time I spent as a leader in employment and small business centers taught me things I'll never forget. The number one lesson being:
Now is the time to prevent damage to your lifetime earnings, career happiness, or future business.
As I rose up the senior management ladder and further away from direct service with clients, the environment at where I worked started to become toxic.
I found myself wondering way too often why I was letting myself stay in an environment that was leading to so much stress and aggravation. When the damage started to spill over into other parts of my life, I still didn't make a move to leave.
It took me a long time (too long actually), but I finally realized I needed to push past my own comfort zone.
Although it was challenging and scary to walk away from the "security" of a government job and all of its financial benefits, I made one of the best, most healthy decisions of my life.
And now I make sure other women get the help sooner than I did to tap into and leverage their strengths, value, and soul-connected purpose.
I love seeing my clients transform from not clear on their next best steps to growing and glowing from the inside out.

How To Pick The Right Coach
To attract positive career and life momentum, you need to be selective with who you partner with. It's a big decision to invest in yourself and hire a coach.
It is key that you look for:
► several years of experience (you don't want to be someone's 1st rodeo, right?)
► specialized training and education in helping professions (look for degrees, certifications, and verified success stories)
► strong reputation both with clients and with their personal brand (dive into their social media and testimonials!)
► results-oriented as well as supportive (someone that only makes you feel good but doesn't keep you accountable for making real change isn't going to be effective in getting you to your goals)
► confirm that their coaching style aligns with how you work best (ask them questions before you send any payments!)

How I meet this criteria:
I am a proud alumni of George Mason University two times over. I loved that school so much! I even named my first born son Mason because it's also where I met my husband.
I earned my Bachelor's in Communications (while working three jobs to pay for it). A few years later, while working full-time in public service, I discovered I wanted to dig deeper into how I could help coach and inspire others to align with work they enjoy. I went back for my Masters degree at GMU and was accepted into their highly acclaimed (and challenging) Counseling and Human Development program.
After graduation, I dedicated a full year to serving in AmeriCorps which helped me hear even louder the call to help others shine. I later worked for non-profits and corporate jobs, but once I started working in employment centers my passion for coaching really caught on fire. I was soon promoted to develop employment programs and train staff to help others gain meaningful work, leadership skills, and much more.
For over a decade, while rising up in leadership and management positions (see details in my LinkedIn profile), I coached thousands of jobseekers, career changers, and self-employed contractors. I also trained my staff that I hired to thrive at coaching others on how to interview, impress employers, strengthen their communication, and find their next best career and life step.
I'm a long-standing, active member in the international Female Entrepreneur's Association and I also have led a mind-body-spirit group for stressed Moms in my local community for over ten years.
Recently, I chose to dive deeper into the most current neuroscience, positive psychology, and other leading edge methods for well-being. In July 2025, I earned an updated Life Coaching Certification and I am moving forward to obtain a board coaching certification.
