I began my coaching career in the health & fitness industry in 1993. I rocketed through a four-year accelerated track, from personal trainer to managing corporate and commercial health & fitness centers in Silicon Valley during the dot-com years.

But I knew we were only addressing part of the person. I knew there was more to true health and fitness—and to living a fulfilling life.

After completing the Hawaiian Ironman World Championships, I left the industry in tears, proclaiming:

“We are not healing people.”

And:

“I will find the answer to true health and fitness for thriving in all of life—and I will be back to share it.”

I wasn’t interested in simply getting individuals fit for a race or a season. I was interested in root-cause solutions and long-term success.

After becoming a stay-at-home mom (the most challenging job ever) and continuing to guide individuals along the way, I dove deep into multidisciplinary learning—gathering certifications and education across everything from energy work to business, mind-body connection to leadership.

Eventually, I found myself holding a vast amount of knowledge—but it felt complicated. So I kept going. Over time, the pieces came together. I released the need to rely on certifications alone, instead integrating the most powerful elements from each body of work into the coaching practice I offer today.

It had to be simple, sustainable, and supportive—or I wasn’t interested.

It’s almost laughable how simple it really is. And from both my own experience and the thousands of individuals I’ve supported, I can tell you: while it is simple, it’s not always easy.

Over the past 30+ years of developing my Embodied Leadership Coaching practice, I’ve supported CEOs and unhoused individuals. I’ve guided groups of all sizes. I’ve walked alongside burned-out achievers, successful seekers, ambitious questioners, and parents in transition—as they build and refine their definition of success, including their own well-being, ease, and playfulness.

No matter who you are, I’m here to help you remember who you are—and create a successful life, on your terms, that reflects that.
