For years, I did leadership and facilitation by the book—clear agendas, polished delivery, all the right frameworks. On the surface, it looked like success. Inside, I felt an ache I couldn’t name: a gap between the change I envisioned and the impact I was actually making.

That ache, and the quiet disconnection from myself that caused it, eventually led to burnout and confusion. I was leading with only part of me—my ideas and skills—while leaving out my body, my emotions, and the deeper presence that makes learning come alive.

The turning point came when I began slowing down enough to listen to my own physical and emotional intelligence. In that slowing, I found a place of truth and integrity; a deeper well to draw from, one that lives closer to who I really am. From that place, I could relate to the world with more authenticity and have a far greater, integrated impact than working from my head alone.

That’s the path I’ve been on ever since. I’ve coached and designed learning experiences for university leaders, K–12 leaders, lawyers, nonprofit directors, and more, always with one aim: to offer an experience of development that is not just understood, but lived. 

My work draws from inclusive, experiential, and embodied learning, supported by a background in education, adult learning, coaching, and somatic transformation. Now, I help educators, coaches, facilitators, and leaders close the gap between intention and impact—so their vision isn’t just something they talk about, but something they are.

The invitation is simple: Lead, teach, and grow as a whole person. Bring all of you to the work. It's how transformation takes root.
