My passion is coaching professionals to redefine how they work, parent, and achieve financial freedom so they enjoy meaningful careers and raise happy and healthy families as their legacy to a better world.
Today’s work and parenting norms trigger stress and burnout from unrelenting job demands and family responsibilities
I know you’re the kind of person who wants to succeed at work + home on your terms — without sacrificing wellbeing.
Today’s workplace and parenting norms trigger stress and burnout from unrelenting job demands and family responsibilities
I know you’re the kind of person who wants to succeed at work + home on your terms — without sacrificing wellbeing.
You’re a high achiever who doesn’t make excuses. But you’re stretched too thin.
Tired of being tired and feeling powerless, wondering when things will get better. You want to:
Limit the destruction of unhealthy stress to you and your family.
Fit work into life instead of the other way around.
Divide parenting and home management responsibilities fairly.
Slow the pace of work + life so you have enough time and energy for important relationships and activities.
Show up everywhere as a whole person — and true to yourself.
Redefine how to work, parent, and achieve financial freedom on your terms — without sacrificing wellbeing.
Take better care of yourself. And have time & energy to put your priorities, goals & dreams first — at least some of the time.
I’m here to help with coaching and courses that provide:
GUIDANCE
SUPPORT
ACCOUNTABILITY
Despite your best efforts to reduce the competing demands of work and family, you’re overloaded and don’t have time or energy to find a better way.
You shouldn’t have to sacrifice your wellbeing to work and raise a family.
You’re meant for more … but it’s hard to know how to get there on your own.

You’re meant for more … but it’s hard to know how to get there on your own.
That’s why I’m applying my:
10+ Years as a
WORK-LIFE PRO
20+ Years as a
WORKING PARENT
4 Years as a
COACH
to help you redefine how you work, parent, and achieve financial freedom.
I worked for Johns Hopkins University for 20+ years on school, family, and community partnerships, teacher professional development, and work, life, and community engagement.
In 2017, I became a national board certified health and wellness coach after receiving my training through the Mayo Clinic. I have a Master of Education in adult learning from Johns Hopkins University and a Master of Social Work from the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill.
Motherhood, marriage, chronic illness, divorce, and resilience make up my story. I know for sure that, with my support, you can redefine how you work, parent, and achieve financial freedom. I want to be the coach I wish I’d had when I was a working parent. Someone to help me get unstuck and live my life more intentionally and on my terms.
