Today, I live by the mantra, “I have no idea what I’m gonna get up to today. I am a mystery to myself!” This mantra lights me up, makes my eyes flicker and grow cat-like, and reminds me that I am my own invention. Free to create and recreate on a whim, and to be in constant, creative response to the present moment. I’m a writer and life coach, although I’d rather consider myself a muse to the souls of this world. I have endless energy to inspire, motivate, and heal, a gift with tremendous power that I have just begun to realize.

I believe your wild, true nature is intricately woven with love and imagination. We aren’t here to merely fill the cracks in an already-built infrastructure, we are here to be designers, inventors, visionaries. To bring our best gifts forward, to add our energy and our personal expression to the greater work of art. In order to unearth who you really are, you’re going to need to get curious and all kinds of observant. This is a one-way street, my lovies, so buckle up for the wildest ride of your life!

It all started with one wild hair. An eruption of purpose that, no matter how hard I tried to muffle it, arose stronger every year. The decision to become a life coach made itself. My life coach training was completed at Goal Imagery Institute, with supplementary training at the Martha Beck Institute (ending in Dec 2018).
