What I do is in my blood. It’s who I am. My deepest training began as a child and continued into adulthood as a highly dedicated, disciplined musician on the professional path. My first true mentor and “coach” was my viola teacher—Barbara Hamilton Primus. She was the first person to show me what it really meant to “teach to the Artist Within.” To this day, I pull on the wisdom and focus learned within her studio and the 20+ years dedicated to the craft of music. I’ll always be profoundly grateful.

Professional Training

I am a true Renaissance creative. My work is my art and deep devotion.

As such, I’ve curated my mentors, coaches, certifications, and training accordingly. I’m professionally certified as a coach through Life Purpose Institute (approved training with the ICF (International Coaching Federation)). I’ve also studied with the Flow Research Collective, learned applied Neuroscience and Coaching, the psychology of peak performance, trauma-informed therapeutic coaching methodologies, and advanced meditative and energy work—- the nerdy stuff you probably don’t care that much about. I’m also an experienced student of mixed movement arts and have advanced certification in the Shambhava yogic tradition (a lineage known for its dedication to accessing and opening to the wisdom of the heart). I’m a certified Fix This Next small business advisor. A trained intuitive. I’m experienced with Human Design and a number of other ancient modalities. I’ve learned Somatic Coaching from the influence of Doug Silsbee, Mark Walsh, and facilitators through the Strozzi-Heckler Institute.

I have personally trained with coaches such as Heather Dominick (Founder and leader of Business Miracles and the highly sensitive movement), Steve Chandler (international coach, leader of Advanced Client Systems, prolific author/speaker, and fondly known as the Godfather of coaching), Jason Goldberg (international speaker, author and coach.), Kamin Samuel (author/speaker and wealth expert), and Ron Wilder— amongst others. I’m deeply appreciative to all of the coaches and mentors who have taken the time and love to help me on my path. My work will always be a quiltwork of tribute to theirs. I believe we do stand on the shoulders of giants.

As an avid and deep learner—I’ve been influenced by more voices than I can recall here. Some of my favorite consistent inspirations are Steven Pressfield, Martha Beck, Nathaniel Branden, Rolf Gates, Dan Millman, Davidjii, and Byron Katie. I believe in continuing education and being a lifelong learner to be the best I can be for those I’m privileged to call my clients.

But, at the end of the day— it doesn’t really matter what I know. It matters how I can help.

All of my education and personal life experiences allow me to say if you want to walk the edge of your own potential and step into completely new territory in your contribution and career— that’s what I’m built for.

It’s what I do best. If you want to stop holding yourself back by excuses, limits, and fear and instead experience your deepest fulfillment, greatest contribution, and personal courage— I’ve walked that path many times over. I would be honored to walk your path with you.
