My Cues and Views

People often ask, “How did you become a professional coach?”
The short answer: I followed my heart.

My path wasn’t planned — it unfolded one decision, one risk, and one act of courage at a time. From an introverted cheerleader to a NASA engineer, from Reiki Master to executive and leadership coach, every chapter taught me how to blend science, intuition, and soul in the service of helping others grow. Along the way, I filled my toolkit with practices that help people lead with courage, clarity, and heart — tools I now share with leaders and teams around the world.

I’ve had the privilege of coaching and facilitating with organizations and individuals who are making a difference — globally and within their own communities. My work invites people to slow down, reconnect with what matters, and lead from a place of authenticity and grounded confidence.

As a mom of two young adults, I know what it’s like to juggle all the “shoulds” and still feel like you’re falling short. There was a time when I was running on empty — trying to be everything to everyone, until I learned that resilience isn’t about pushing harder. It’s about pausing, setting boundaries, and asking for help. It’s about leading yourself first.

Through it all, the thread that’s carried me is faith — in myself, in others, and in the power of growth and grace.
