Does your Career Own You?

You’ve tried therapy, but it isn’t helping in the way you hoped.

At 3:00 a.m., your mind still spins with everything left undone.

At dinner with people you love, you’re there in body but not in spirit—your thoughts are still at work.

You catch yourself wondering what your boss thinks of you, whether you’re doing a good enough job, and whether you’re keeping up.

On the outside, it looks like success. On the inside, it feels like overwhelm.

When Work Starts to Own You

Therapy, advice, and even self-help books can bring insight. But sometimes what’s needed isn’t another tool for the mind — it’s a waking up of the soul.

Career challenges — whether they come as pressure, loss, or change — aren’t signs of failure. They are invitations.

Invitations to wake up.
Invitations to remember the beauty and power that is in you.
Invitations to live from the part of you that no boss, no circumstance, no spin of the mind can own.

I help people awaken to their authenticity, authority, and sovereignty — so they live and work from the essence of who they are.

How I Guide You - The Experience of being seen…….

I don’t hand you a formula.

I see you. I listen — not just to the words you say, but to the energy they carry.

I listen until the noise falls away and the quiet truth begins to speak.

When you are really seen, you recognize yourself in a new way —
as if your own soul is being reflected back to you.

The ache you couldn’t name finally has a witness.

What is hidden begins to rise.
What feels heavy begins to soften.
What seemed impossible begins to open.

I bring the practices that supported me —

Gene Keys, Three Principles, Meditation, Somatic Awareness—

The real power is in the way we discover your truth together.

I help people awaken to their authenticity, authority, and sovereignty — so they live and work from the essence of who they are.

Your career doesn’t define you. It can awaken you.

This isn’t about fixing yourself.
It’s about remembering.

Remembering the beauty and power that is already in you.

Remembering the part of you that no title, no paycheck, no boss can own.

When people step into this work, their lives change in fundamental ways:

  • Sometimes a new career path begins.

  • Other times, a new way of being emerges in the career they already have.

  • You become more effective in the work you do — with greater ease.

  • Relationships always transform, because they’re no longer lived from fear or pressure.

In every case, the way you feel and experience yourself is deeply transformed.

You live with more love. More peace. More ease.

If you’re ready to wake up to that, let’s talk.

Our first step is simple: a genuine, complimentary conversation.

No pressure, no sales pitch—just space to explore what’s going on for you and whether this work feels right.

What I realized is this: it was my career that woke me up.

I was a successful sales executive in the tech world — on the outside, everything looked good. On the inside, I felt miserable. I was running 100 miles an hour, overworking, freaking out about money. I felt inauthentic, insecure, like a fraud.

That outward success didn’t make me feel better. It broke me open. It forced me to turn inward and begin the journey that has shaped the last three decades of my life.

My spiritual path began in those years, deepened by the birth of my son. I wanted him to grow up confident, to love what he does, to live a life that feels good from the inside out. My commitment to his wholeness became a commitment to my own.

What I’ve learned since then is simple and profound: my internal state of being is everything. It’s the soil my life grows from — and the foundation of the work I now do with others.

For over 22 years, I’ve coached lawyers, leaders, and interior designers who are called to wake up — to reconnect with their authenticity, authority, and sovereignty.

I don’t just listen to words. I listen until the noise falls away and the quiet truth begins to speak. I listen until the soul shows itself.

I love my children, my partner, my family, and dear friends. I love beauty, flowers, interior design, writing, laughter, delicious food, chardonnay, Pilates, and hiking in nature.

My work draws from deep presence, spiritual inquiry, somatic wisdom, and practical clarity. My journey has also included guided psychedelic experiences — both personally and in service of others — which have deepened my understanding of consciousness and the transformative power of inner work.
