live a whole-hearted life:
let the beauty that you are be what you do…
I support change-makers, artists, and visionaries to live a whole-hearted life that balances presence and vision, inner exploration and outer action, sovereignty and inter-connection.
Who I work with:
You are a…
Visionary: It lights you up to imagine, see, feel, taste, touch life-giving ways forward that are not here yet (or are just blooming).
Healer: You have felt the pain of being human and are growing compassion, tools, and capacity to support others.
Artist: You express the creative force within through stories, songs, crafts, poems, paintings, or emergent systems that bring forth healing, beauty, and expansive truths.
Change-Maker: You see a problem and you create a solution. You speak truth to power and bring people together to be in solidarity with all of life towards a just world.
Earth Lover: You know that we must be in partnership with the more-than-human world and that the earth’s wisdom is necessary society to function well.
Way Finder: You’ve taken a “non-traditional” path. It wasn’t a conscious choice… there simply was no well trodden path before you. You find your way through listening and finding meaning in each twist and turn of life.
And you face…
Self-doubt: Who am I? What do I have of value to offer?
Purpose questions: When I clear out the fog of old stories and beliefs, what is my true purpose?
Too many inner voices: Any given day a different voice is louder - which one do I follow?
Overwhelm: I have SO MANY interests/talents. How do I prioritize and focus my time and energy?
Fear of failure: What if people don’t want what I’ve got to give?
Burnout: Working too much for too little pay
Challenging relationships: Friendships, loverships, partnerships
Competition: Is there room for all of us to shine fully? (Yes!)
Discomfort with money: I want it but I don’t wanna deal with it… help!
Perfectionism: I can’t move my dreams forward until there is no chance of failure.
And you want to…
Know your value: Believe in who you truly are - more than enough, perfectly imperfect, and needed in this world
Design a life that is purpose-full: With each step, know that you are living from your deepest values and purpose
Let your voice of wisdom lead: Invite your voice of wisdom to lead and your inner critic to take a chill pill (-;
Make an important contribution: Offer your gifts in a way that brings healing, beauty, opportunity and grace to others
Lead a balanced life: Prioritize self-care and spiritual practices that keep your well filled.
Have nourishing relationships: Learn to choose wisely, forgive easily, grow your love and feed relationships that are mutually beneficial.
Be financially successful: Earn an income that supports your life. Make clear financial goals and reach them!
Forget your perfect offering. There’s a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in. (wise words of Leonard Cohen)
How we work together towards your greatness…
Dream it.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Support YOURSELF so that you can participate with creativity and care in a world that needs your gifts…
Our world needs leaders who are thinking on the edge, who feel the grief of what has been lost, who see the hope of what’s possible, and who are willing to clearly bring forth their gifts while living into the great mystery we are beholden to. Our emerging leaders need to know how to empower all, to partner with our more-than-human kin, to deeply consider future generations, and bring visions of beauty into reality. Those who are called to the path of world transformation and healing are in service to humanity, this earth, our ancestors and future generations.
Simultaneously, each of us must approach the heroic journey of serving ourselves — finding inner balance so that we can offer our life’s work from a place of joy and creativity, and keep going for the long haul. In order to serve others from a deep well within we must be equally dedicated to ourselves by earning an income that truly supports our ability to lead balanced lives of work-play-creativity.
I invite you into a heart-full collaboration to birth the next steps in your unfolding life journey. It is a true honor to walk by your side as you courageously move through limiting beliefs, in order to live your most authentic life in this moment. In aligning all areas of your life with your core values, you transform from the inside out - and your relationships, work, and play all come into greater coherence with who you truly are. Your service in the world and all you touch are greatly enhanced by the magic that you are.
