ABOUT
Welcome to my sanctuary/launchpad!
I’d love to know… what’s the impact you’re here to make?
This is the question that opened the portal for me. I believe that when we express who we are—from a place of deep authenticity, healthy power, and pleasure—and create from that aligned foundation, amazing things can happen.
We become able to connect—with our loved ones, colleagues, and communities—in integrity, reciprocity, and generativity, which makes every moment more rich and meaningful.
Connecting with life becomes an exercise in co-creating pleasure, not just avoiding pain.
We all know how to work hard and do the things that we’re told lead to success. But bringing all of our knowledge and skill into alignment with our unique nature and gifts to aim for our own definition of success is the next level.
I love being a coach + collaborator as clients as they leap into the next level of themselves. It opens up new possibilities we never imagined. This is what it means to shift a paradigm.
MY BACKGROUND:
I did an intensive coaching + facilitator training with Trish Blain’s Nonordinary, and am a certified Transformation Coach.
I spent seventeen years working in communications, marketing, and fundraising at Harvard Business School and Harvard Kennedy School. My years at Harvard turned out to be a front-row seat into the intersection of LEADERSHIP + GENEROSITY. I learned what motivates people to be generous, and what makes for an effective leader—and what doesn’t. (Hint: happiness plays a big role.)
I've taken multiple leadership trainings at Harvard, as well as a course on creating systems of partnership with Riane Eisler (Meridian University), a pioneer in untangling systems of domination and cultivating systems of collaboration.
I have an MA in Integrated Marketing Communication and a BA in French and International Relations. In addition, I’ve taken on my own study of leadership, creativity, partnership, and masculinities.
I see a deep longing in people to return to their whole humanity. In addition to being a coach, I’m an artist, word-crafter, idea generator, creative strategist, mystic nerd, INFP Pisces who believes in being wholly human—so I share my art, musings, thought leadership, and deep inquiries as part of my coaching collaborations. Sometimes, we even have dance breaks.
I’ve worked with philanthropists and shamans, executives and artists, leaders and intuitives, teachers and tantrikas, angels and a$$holes. I deeply value multiple perspectives, and alchemizing them. We need them all.
Creativity, belonging, collaboration, cross-pollination, play, pleasure, health, happiness—these aren’t just end goals, they’re the lenses we need to look through to guide our actions + create new possibilities, the HOW of walking a more beautiful, humanful path.
HOW we do is WHAT we get.
When we put all of these perspectives together, we create a lens to the world that is full of potential: generative, collaborative, inclusive, creative, not monotone, NOT BORING.
Solving the complex problems we face requires the diversity and richness of combining these multiples lenses from every arena. Living healthy, happy lives takes a willingness to proactively generate health and happiness.
What would a world full of that feel like?
What’s the impact you’re here to make? If you need some support clarifying your offering, voice, or vision—and getting it out there!—I’d love to connect.
Why work with me?
My mission is to realign ourselves and our systems with health, happiness, and the best of our humanity.
The common desire I see over and over in this time of reset is: to return to our humanity. Together.
But there is sooooo much stuff getting in the way.
I can help.
Will you allow me to dare you to lead a life you love, at every level?
We need a world full of people who are not just successful, but in love with life.
Going through a life-altering health crisis in 2020 both softened and added fire to my perspective and what I’m here to offer: Sometimes, we are in a high-growth phase. Sometimes, we need solace.
The elevating, the expansion, the growth are all exhilarating—and, these need to be complemented by solace, rest, regulation, and replenishment.
This is why I decided to create my coaching container as a sanctuary + launchpad, so we can honor all phases of life, and all parts of ourselves—the parts that need to go dormant to replenish and gestate, and the parts that long to resurge and bloom. A beautiful yin and yang cycle that honors the fullness of our humanness.
My coaching style is collaborative, deep, and transformational: I’m not here just to tell you things—though I do share my perspectives, thought leadership, and experiences—I’m here to journey with you more deeply into life, and help you move towards creating more power, pleasure, purpose, and partnership in yours.
What’s the thing that only YOU can create? That’s your r/evolution. I’m here to help you get that out into the world.
I believe:
That feeling powerful and pleasureful in partnership with others brings out the best in humans—and we are at a time in history that desperately needs our best.
In daring beyond our comfort zone… and in coming back to comfort. Ebb and flow.
That what you love is the most interesting thing about you.
That creativity is a way to know and share ourselves—and that knowing and sharing ourselves are core human drives.
That nature’s patterns are also our own.
In re-learning how to balance ourselves in symbiosis with our beautiful planet.
In identifying our core values and creating a life that aligns with them as much as possible. That’s our blueprint.
That we are in a reciprocal relationship with everything in the universe. Which means…
Everything is connected. Everything. What I do for myself, I do for the world. What I do for the world, I do for myself.
That many of the shadows we face today are the result of forgetting that everything is connected—and the fear of revealing ourselves in authentic connection.
In partnerships that potentiate each individual.
In working to shift from systems of domination to systems of partnership.
That I can move things with my mind and breathe under water… if I could just remember how. (Anyone else?)
That duality is just foreplay for alchemy—so if we can move beyond the binary, we can create new possibilities.
In ridiculosity: ridiculousness at high velocity.
In humane humanity and humanful leadership.
In play. Play is evolutionary. Play is fun. Let’s do more of it.
In joy.
In beauty.
In you.
