My Philosophy

I work with women of color (sisters who are cisgender and transgender) and anyone who resonates with my energy and my being.

My approach is gentle, yet encouraging and this allows people to go deep, to what’s under the surface, more quickly than even they may’ve believed possible. My clients feel safe with me by their side, and this helps create a deeper connection and sense of being seen and heard.


You’re invited to drop your guard and any other defenses you use to move through your life while in your coaching sessions. You may pick them back up after a session as needed. Systematic racism keeps women of color down even when we are in elevated positions. We live in a white male-dominated society and it’s not easy to be at ease (especially with how we have been conditioned from an early age from the good intentions of our families, from culture, communities, society, the media and the education systems). You and I have witnessed how resilient women of color have had to be as they earned accomplishments and overachieved to prove their brilliance and worthiness. We are ENOUGH.

You Will Not Have to Prove Yourself

Sovereignty – You’re the Ultimate Authority of Truth and What’s Right for YOU

My coaching approach helps you create space so you can discover what's getting in the way of you expressing and maintaining your personal power. No one can tell you what's true or right for you because only you know that. And if you're unsure, we'll explore it so you can have confidence in your way forward.

Being Seen and Heard

It’s incredibly important to have your ideas seen and witnessed, without judgment. In this world, there’s no shortage of naysayers and people trying to tell you who you can and can’t become. And for women of color, there are even more layers that you have to deal with – more criticism, more judgments, more misunderstanding. Being seen and heard without judgment on your search for meaning allows you to open up to your deep-rooted wisdom and curiosity as they emerge. Once you start by making one decision that feels authentic to you, and acting on it, a whole new world of possibility opens up.

Co-Creation, Collaboration & Partnership

My coaching is collaborative and creative to what arises in the moment, and I have a unique ability to create trust with my clients. By tuning into your true nature, I am able to meet my clients wherever and however they are. I’ll meet you where you are with an open mind as we create a sacred space during sessions. You will never be told what to do, I will ask questions to help you make your path.

Simplicity and Just Being

Finding meaning in your life may sound like a huge project – one that needs a set of flowcharts and subtasks. Actually, that couldn’t be farther from the truth. Heart-centered coaching works to help the facets of your life shine bright. It’s not an approach designed to work through a “to-do” list to create a “ta-da” list. It’s deep meaningful work that doesn’t pile on tasks to make you feel as if you aren't enough or that you don’t get it. As you move closer to meaning, there’s less effort. There’s ease, flow, creativity and a new accessible energy.

Creating and Holding Sacred Space

Sacred space is essential in order to hear your thoughts. Without this space, it's very difficult to know what to do and make decisions that feel good and move forward. I create sacred space for my clients to explore their inner thoughts during a coaching session. I listen deeply and use my intuition to ask clients powerful questions connected to an area that may arise in a session. This allows you to explore the inner depths of your being, your thoughts, your circumstances – this supports you in making profound and lasting changes.

“I dream of never being called resilient again in my life. I'm exhausted by strength. I want support. I want softness. I want ease. I want to be amongst kin. Not patted on the back for how well I can take a hit. Or for how many.”
