Resilience is our natural state—yet life often pulls us away from it. I’ve spent the last 30+ years helping people reconnect with that inner resource: the capacity to find center, discover clarity, reclaim confidence, and restore curiosity and creativity.

For me, the journey into resilience began in my teen years. During a time of difficulty—both at home and at school—I learned that if I dissociated from my body and disconnected from the grief and pain I felt so physically, I could survive. And I did. But the cost was high. I went numb—to my body, my voice, and my self-worth.

In my 20s, I worked as a massage therapist—yet I was surprisingly disconnected from my own body. I was exhausted and running on empty, disconnected from my sense of self even as I showed up for others.

In my early 30s, when I transitioned into coaching, everything began to shift. That’s when I met my embodiment teacher, whose blend of aikido and mindfulness gently invited me to come back into my body and find my center. For the first time in years, I experienced what it truly meant to be present with myself. That moment marked the start of a long, layered journey back to wholeness.

The transitions that followed pulled the rug out from under me—divorce and the loss of the identity I’d built around it, career changes that felt like stepping off a cliff, and burnout that ultimately led to an autoimmune diagnosis. Each turning point asked me to slow down, surrender, and reconnect with what was real and essential.

For over three decades, I’ve integrated a broad spectrum of trainings and modalities to support others on their path back to resilience. My background includes:

• Integral, Transformative, and Somatic Coaching methodologies

• Leadership Embodiment and the Strozzi Institute approach

• Equine-Guided Coaching

• Biodynamic Craniosacral and Polarity Therapies

• Reiki, yoga, meditation, conscious dance, breathwork, and massage therapy

This integrative background allows me to meet people where they are—whether in a one-on-one session, a group workshop, or within a leadership team navigating change. I’ve supported professionals, creatives, caregivers, and executives alike in finding grounded ways to move forward when life feels overwhelming, disconnected, or uncertain.

Today, I serve as a Resilience Catalyst—a guide for individuals and organizations who are ready to return to their natural steadiness and lead from a place of clarity and presence. Whether you’re seeking more ease in your personal life or more coherence in your team, my approach invites you to pause, reset, and return to what’s already whole within you.
