I longed to help people create lasting change, and that desire led me to massage therapy in 2003—a shift that felt like a breath of fresh air. My curiosity about deeper healing methods grew, leading me to explore aromatherapy, herbs, Reiki and the subtle ways emotions shape our physical well-being.
In 2004, I opened my own massage practice—a haven where women could release the tension, pain and stress they carried, not just in their bodies, but in their hearts. As I listened to countless women share their struggles—apologizing for their bodies, feeling burdened by the pressure to perform, stories of past trauma, abuse, guilt, shame and battling a constant sense of not being enough—I saw a mirror of my own story.
I, too, wrestled with feelings of unworthiness and the pressure to keep up, especially as my business grew. I felt torn between being the perfect entrepreneur, the perfect mom, a connected and present wife, and a woman who still longed for her own sense of fulfillment. That internal struggle became my greatest teacher, pushing me to explore the deeper layers of healing.
I discovered the power of energy work, Reiki, and eventually, HeartHealing™ and Hypnotherapy. Through these trainings, I realized that the more I healed my own wounds, the more aligned my business and life became. As I let go of the stories, wounds and beliefs from my past that kept me stuck, I found the clarity and confidence to expand my business in ways I hadn’t imagined, be fully present with my family and let joy in.
Now, I use these tools—HeartHealing™, Hypnotherapy, and holistic mentoring—to help women like you navigate those same challenges. You might look like you have it all: the thriving business, the loving family, the outward success. But behind the scenes, you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, and afraid that if you stop striving, everything will fall apart.
I’ve been there, and I know what it’s like to feel like you’re constantly juggling, trying to keep every part of your life from crashing down. But I also know the way forward—and how this journey can shift everything.
Here’s what this work can mean for you:
✨In Your Business or Career:
Imagine running your business with a clear mind and open heart, free from the old beliefs that make you second-guess every decision. As we clear those subconscious blocks, you’ll naturally attract clients, embrace new opportunities, and lead with a renewed sense of purpose—without the burnout.
✨In Your Relationships:
When you heal those deep-rooted feelings of unworthiness, you show up differently in your relationships. You’ll feel safe to be fully present with your loved ones, express yourself openly, and receive the love and support you’ve been craving. No more holding back or feeling like you’re not enough.
✨In Your Life:
With the weight of those old stories lifted, you’ll wake up each day feeling lighter, more aligned, and genuinely excited about what you’re building. You’ll finally feel like you deserve to enjoy the life you’ve worked so hard to create—not just as a successful woman, but as a whole, worthy person.
This isn’t just about feeling better—it’s about creating a life where you thrive in your business, love deeply, and embrace all the abundance that comes your way.
I’m here to guide you through this transformation because I’ve walked this path, and I know the freedom that waits on the other side. Let’s rewrite your story, together.

When I’m not working I’m living the busy, beautifully chaotic family life of a mom to five boys (though only two are still at home).
My days are a whirlwind of soccer games, practices, school and juggling all the roles life throws my way, so I get how overwhelming it can feel to try to balance it all.
But here’s the thing—I believe there’s magic in those everyday moments, even in the chaos. Whether it’s sipping my essential tea or coffee (because, let’s face it, they’re non-negotiable!) or sneaking in a few mindful minutes between the hustle and bustle, I’ve learned that self-care doesn’t have to be complicated.
In fact, it’s the little moments of care and connection that make the biggest difference.
And when I say I’m on a mission to help women reclaim their worth, I mean it. I’ve walked this path myself, and I know what it’s like to feel like you’re constantly giving, juggling, and striving—yet still feeling disconnected or not enough. But I also know that healing is possible, and that when you reconnect with your body, your purpose, and your true self, everything changes.
I’m here to help you:
✨Accept and embrace your whole self—no more hiding or shrinking.
✨Love your body and truly care for it—feeling strong, vibrant, and worthy.
✨Heal the wounds that run through your family line—it’s time to end the cycle.
✨Build unshakable confidence and trust in yourself—because you are capable.
✨Learn how to love deeply and be loved in return—without fear.
✨Live with joy, intention, and peace—no more chasing fulfillment.
✨Enjoy your career and everything you’ve built—feel proud, not pressured.
✨Welcome in all the good—love, money, health, and magic—because you deserve it.
✨Create authentic connections with those you love—and be fully present with them.
I’m passionate about helping women like you break free from the emotional weight, overwhelm, and disconnection that’s been holding you back for far too long. Together, we’ll dive deep into the layers of healing, releasing the stress and trauma stored in your body and soul, so you can live with purpose, joy, and freedom.
Because you deserve to feel empowered, aligned, and deeply connected to every part of your life—and I’m here to help you make that happen.
