generating positive energy to support others from a grounded place and presence
mentoring with curiosity & lived experience
I support people who lead life with purpose, courage and compassion. After many years as a leadership ‘coach’, the job title seemed inadequate for what people seek–and what I aspire to provide. Curiosity, caring, a broad skillset and wisdom from lived experience are what matter most. You can count on me for these strengths and more.
My practice operates via appointment online and in-person, locally and worldwide. I specialize in guiding a person through career change and big life transition. I engage with you one-with-one, not one-off, committing to 3 or more sessions over 4 months or longer. Mutual resonance and trust-building are essential to meaningful mentoring.
I accept payment for service and to cover expenses. If your intent is serious and funding is a hardship, we can discuss ways to overcome financial barriers.
moving mind, body & inspiration
Have you heard yourself or another described as a real ‘mover and a shaker’? Where I come from, that’s both a compliment and a reminder. As breathing humans, we live in energetic motion, even when one’s felt sense is of being stuck, struggling, broken or in stillness. Every remarkable breakthrough and achievement will emerge through movement.
I offer resources for generating insight, vitality, and purpose-full life. My approach is to share freely and empower YOU from an ever-expanding toolkit of active and contemplative practices, tried and tested.
- Tools for self-understanding, planning and accountability
- Customized study materials and referral info
- Reflective inner homework
- Attention to breath, body and spirit
As a certified TRE provider, I can safely guide you in gentle movements that activate one’s natural, neurogenic tremoring for deep tension release, nervous system regulation and calming.
I offer individual sessions, as well as small group classes and custom workshops.
making with joy & purpose
My happy place as a maker is with clay at pottery with purpose, the studio where I create ceramic wares for others. I make joyful pieces for everyday life, collaborate with other artisan entrepreneurs, and host pop-up opportunities that use pottery power for good.
Design has been described as ‘problem solving with grace’. I feel inspired to bring soul-full design creativity to every challenge and context, whether that be shaping a family serving bowl, writing a hard-truth message, arranging a special event, or personalising a mentoring session.

I recognize with respect and gratitude that I live and work on the traditional and ancestral territories of the W̱SÁNEĆ and Lək̓ʷəŋən (Lekwungen) Peoples of the Coast Salish Nation in present day Cordova Bay, Saanich, British Columbia. May we cherish our island life with non-human kin, including Otter, Hummingbird, Arbutus, Fern and Garry Oak.
