ABOUT ME
I’m your guide for the messy middle. You know, the part where you’ve been shaken awake by burnout or career struggles and you’re not about to go back, but are still unsure of what’s next (or real).
Bridging the analytical with the woo-woo.
When you’re successful and have done everything “right” but are questioning everything, I get it. Maybe you’ve had some experiences you can’t explain, or you’re noticing the rules you’ve been living by suddenly seem…wrong. You don’t need to hustle harder—you just need a new way forward. I’m here to help you find it.
How It Started
After 20 years in the civil engineering industry, I had accomplished everything I thought I was supposed to. I had steadily climbed the corporate ladder, set sights on future executive roles, and had built a successful career.
That was on the outside.
But somewhere along the way, I lost myself.
What looked like success from the outside was unsustainable on the inside. I had spent decades following a version of success shaped by expectations, achievement, and what I believed would bring me happiness, all while putting my own dreams, energy, and inner knowing aside.
I didn’t consciously know I had done this, but my body sure did. As a full-time working mom of two little kids took its toll in the form of persistent neck and shoulder problems.
When I was finally sick and tired of walking around like Lurch as if my neck was permanently stuck, a last-ditch attempt to fix it unlocked more than I bargained for. As muscles relaxed, emotions that had been stuffed away for years surfaced. Crying on the stretch table became my new normal.
Eventually, I knew I had to face the music - I was burned out and chasing a dream that wasn’t mine.
It wasn’t easy to admit that I had lost something, and the Universe had some funny ways of (ok, funny now, not funny then) making sure that I paid attention. I’m talking dead people talking to me kind of attention. I couldn’t unsee (unhear?) it, and I sure couldn't go back to how my life had been.
When I discovered Human Design, I found something that resonated. Not another system telling me how to live, but a framework for experimenting with to better understand how I am uniquely designed to move through the world.
How It’s Going
Today, leaning into my design has helped me loosen the grip of female engineer identity and embrace all I love to do by sharing my story, and helping accomplished women who have reached a similar crossroads.
My clients have built successful lives and careers but find themselves thinking, “I can’t keep doing this.” They may call it burnout, frustration, or feeling stuck. But underneath it, there is a deeper tension: they’ve outgrown the version of themselves they’ve been living as and aren’t yet sure who they are without it.
We have far more power than we’ve been conditioned to believe. When you move beyond people-pleasing, external expectations, and the constant search for someone else to provide the answer – you are able to trust your inner knowing.
While a seeker, and fully embracing the woo-woo, I always filter through the analytical. My approach is grounded in reality and accountability, creating space for both the practical and the spiritual without bypassing the messy realities of life and career. After all, spiritual bypassing only keeps you in an endless loop of “doing the work”, and I’d rather help you move forward.
I’m not here to give you another set of rules to follow. I help you ask better questions, discern what is truly your yes, and build enough self-trust to make confident decisions from your intuition.
Because sometimes burnout isn’t asking you to become better at managing the life you built. Sometimes it’s telling you that you’ve outgrown it.

A FEW OF MY
FAVORITE THINGS
Coffee!
I may or may not have once told a friend that they could pry my coffee cup out of my cold dead hands.
Married mama of two busy boys.
Which means life is full, loud, and spent driving like…everywhere. Keeping the door open for them to explore who they are is a great joy of my life.
I’m a writer
You know how sometimes you read these amazing Eat Pray Love type memoirs? That’s not me. I wish, but my spiritual awakening came in the middle of moving through burnout, questioning my career, having an identity crisis, weird spiritual experiences (dead people talking to me?), all while still working and parenting young children during a pandemic. To read all about it, go to Field Notes.
Yoga has been part of my life since I was 25.
I didn’t know it then, but it kept me grounded and still does. (along with weightlifting, because I like to feel like a badass)

Translation: I’m here to guide, experiment, and share what I learn. I’m always experimenting with what my chart shows me.
