My passion is coaching managers to redefine how they work, parent, and achieve financial freedom so they enjoy impactful careers and raise happy and healthy families as their legacy to a better world.
Outdated work and parenting norms trigger stress and burnout from unrelenting job demands and family responsibilities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.
Outdated workplace and parenting norms trigger stress and burnout from unrelenting job demands and family responsibilities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 on your mind, body, and spirit.
Rebalance work + life without sacrificing career success.
Divide parenting and home management responsibilities fairly so each partner lives their best life.
Stop living with doubt and guilt that you are falling short for those you care about most.
Reach your full potential and contribute to a better world.
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
The problem isn’t you’re not trying hard enough. The problem is you’re overworked and overwhelmed, making you feel out of control. And you 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:
9+ 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.
Take the quiz if you’re unsure of the next best step to rebalance work + life.
