Amidst the chaos and despair I found lasting peace and joy

Just like you, I’ve navigated life’s ups and downs. I’ve faced tough times—depression, divorce, and the challenge of juggling everything as a single parent with a demanding career. I know how it feels to be overwhelmed, simply trying to make it through the day. But I also found a way to peace and joy, even in the midst of chaos.

My mission is to help you do the same – to find lasting peace, wholeness, and purpose, no matter what life throws at you.

Ready for some Peace?

What I really want to do is help you rediscover the joy and purpose that might feel hidden right now.

Using my 'At PEACE, not in Pieces' approach, I'll walk beside you. Together, we’ll work through your emotions, gain clarity, and help you step into the life you truly desire. This isn't about quick fixes; it’s about creating real, lasting change and building a solid foundation of inner peace. It’s about embracing every part of yourself and finding that inner harmony you’ve been searching for.

My Mission for you

More than anything, I truly hope you'll discover the strength within yourself that maybe you haven't seen clearly before.

I want you to feel what it's like to be fully alive, to live from a place of real peace and a clear sense of purpose. You’re not broken, you’re already whole, and you have the power to create a life you love. Imagine finding your voice, being truly yourself, and moving forward with confidence – knowing deep down that you are, in every way, 'At PEACE, not in Pieces.

This is not just theory—it’s lived experience

For the past decade, I've had the privilege to guide individuals on deeply personal journeys—helping them heal from traumas, discover their purpose, and craft lives filled with meaning. My experience isn't just academic; it's rooted in real-world encounters with people from diverse backgrounds, including Academia, small businesses, corporations, NGOs, politics, and the UN. This breadth of experience means I truly understand the unique challenges people face in different environments, and I bring that understanding into my mentorship, tailoring each session to fit your world.


From global leaders to everyday lives—this is what I do

My approach blends practical experience with profound personal growth. I've spent twenty years relentlessly exploring self-discovery, healing, and spiritual development, refining countless tools and techniques along the way. I've faced my own struggles with depression, burnout, and feeling utterly lost, and I've emerged on the other side with a deep sense of peace and purpose. I offer more than just theory; I offer a path I've walked, a path I've seen transform lives. I bring a compassionate ear, a wealth of insights, and a genuine passion for helping you discover and embody your own authentic peace and potential.

People are often surprised when I share the different paths I've taken in my career.

But to me, it's really just been about saying 'yes' to opportunities that felt right in my heart, even when they seemed a bit out of reach. Looking back, I can see that each decision was really a leap of faith, rooted in what I felt was truly right for me.
