About me

I’ve spent my life learning how to start over.

I’ve fallen down, gotten back up, tried again, and repeated the cycle more times than I can count. I’ve worn a lot of jackets—student, athlete, social worker, make-up artist, tech recruiter, corporate marketer… and most of them never truly fit.

In my 20s, while burning out while working 50+ hours a week for a tech start-up, I was diagnosed with a brain condition that required immediate surgery. It cracked me open, and I promised myself that as soon as I could, I’d travel and learn from the people I meet and about the different ways of life.

Recovery didn’t give me all the answers, but it set me on a path of exploration. Since then, I’ve traveled to over 25 countries, discovered Reiki, fallen in love with surfing, and reconnected with the ocean and land in a different way.

That’s when I asked myself, “Who are you when you’re not in motion?” I moved to a tiny house in the woods, slowed down, listened to my own voice, and rebuilt my foundation. I joined the movement to protect the last Old Growth trees on Vancouver Island, deepened my writing practice, and apprenticed with don Miguel Ruiz in the study of personal freedom.

I’m still learning, still exploring, still figuring out how to align my head with my heart. Along the way, I’ve leaned on writing, community, and curiosity to navigate life’s twists, and I’ve learned that these questions are best walked together.

I’ve gathered tools for recovering from trauma, connecting to truth, creating a life that excites you. My work now is simple: I’m here to ride the wave with you, to listen, ask questions, explore possibilities, and keep giving you space to keep exploring.

If you’re curious about working together, whether through my writing program PIVOT, memoir guidance, or Reiki, reach out.

I’d love to hear your story.
