My Story

In Fall 2013, after five strong years of being an environmental activist and organizer, I reached a point where I didn't have the energy to continue the work that I loved.

I realized the way I was doing my work wasn't sustainable anymore. That's when I started working with a coach. During our sessions, I became rejuvenated with clear action steps and tools to shift my way of doing things. 

Through working with my coach, I started living my life with a sense of ease I hadn't experienced before. Over the next year, I utilized the simple, practical tools from our sessions. I reconnected with what was really important to me, regained my health and vitality, and rediscovered my creativity and energy for making change in the world.  I have now founded two outdoor learning and adventure programs (my dream!) and love supporting people like you to make the difference you would love to make.

We all have incredible visions for our lives. I would love to support you to make yours real.
