i can help because i've been there
I never understood why my emotions felt so overwhelming.
To escape the discomfort, I turned to eating, drinking, and smoking—anything to numb the pain. Dating only intensified my feelings of insecurity and fear, leaving me stuck in a cycle of failed relationships and destructive habits. Then came the devastating collapse of my business, and I realized I couldn’t keep distracting myself from the pain. I had to face it and figure things out.
Since my teens, I had tried every self-help method imaginable and spent years in therapy, yet the pain only seemed to deepen. Then, I discovered this transformational process, and in a remarkably short time, my life began to change in ways I never thought possible. My relationship with my family shifted from turmoil to peace. I left an unhealthy relationship, and by the end of the year, I met the love of my life. My career path became clear, and I no longer felt the need to escape through harmful behaviors.
This transformational process didn’t just ease my pain—it got to the root of it, empowering me with clarity, calm, confidence, and joy. Through this process, I began building a life beyond my wildest dreams, filled with purpose, passion, and endless possibilities.
The best part is, now I know exactly how to help you.
So let's get started.
my EXPERIENCE
Before becoming a personal empowerment coach, I was a health food chef and entrepreneur. I founded retail and wholesale markets, health food restaurants, and a boutique farm. My dedication even led to an induction into the Culinary Hall of Fame. Empowering people to eat healthy has been a lifelong passion. I’d be overjoyed to share this knowledge with you as you transform your eating habits and lifestyle for good with delicious food that makes you feel amazing.
I LOVE food
I’ve always been passionate about helping people like you launch and grow their dream ventures. Beyond running my businesses, I founded several organizations dedicated to supporting small businesses. My unique gift is taking an idea and creating a clear, actionable path to making it a reality. I’d be delighted to work with you to design a step-by-step plan that brings your brilliant ideas to life. And if you’re still searching for clarity, I have powerful techniques to help you discover the direction you’re meant to take. Let’s turn your vision into the thriving business you’ve always dreamed of!
business IS FUN
If you’re facing deep emotional challenges, I’ll guide you through them with a compassion. Together, we’ll work through those difficult emotions, allowing you to release the weight of the past. I’m here to support you every step of the way, and I can’t wait to help you discover the freedom and joy that comes from breaking free and moving forward with confidence.

the COURSE
With gentle encouragement and an art director's eye, I collaborate with my couples to create effortlessly editorial images full of pure love, stunning backdrops, and natural moments (with just enough guidance!)
Light is my biggest inspiration, and I find weddings to be complex, joyous, fashion-filled, emotional, utterly beautiful celebrations that I can't get enough of.
