Speak Your Truth
Mindfully and with Integrity!
Mentoring & Empowered Presence
Some of the results of working with me are confidence, a new perspective, clarity, inner peace, a developed intuition, an effective meditation practice, and a deeper connection with yourself and others.
I integrate mindfulness practices along with other modalities to support you in being more engaged and engaging with audiences, compassionate, inclusive, and empathetic.
If it’s your next TedTalk, speaker series, video content, FB Live event, or simply speaking up for yourself in general, I am skillful at working with the full gamut of fears, quirks, and stories that get in your way.
“Don’t let anyone rob you of your imagination, your creativity, or your curiosity. It’s your place in the world; it’s your life. Go on and do all you can with it, and make it the life you want to live. -Mae Jemison”
We work together, this is a collaboration.
I empower you to reconnect with your authentic self so that you can minimize the stress, overwhelm, and anxiety from everyday struggles. I help you to align with your inner guidance and power so that you feel free, confident, fully expressed, and living a life you love with radical acceptance and on purpose!
I support and guide you through allowing for more personal fulfillment and creative endeavors because you are dedicated to making the world a better place.
It’s your turn!
All eyes are on you.
Your heart is pounding in your chest.
You feel warmth in your cheeks.
Suddenly a big ball of dry cotton is in your throat, and perhaps you totally forgot what you're supposed to say.
You begin to speak, your voice is quivering, your hands are shaking, you’re so up in your head you’re not even present or paying attention to how uncomfortable you actually are.
I’VE BEEN THERE!
You want to connect.
You have a deep desire to share your amazing message with the world.
You want your needs met and to feel heard!
And you want to do it in an authentic, heart-centered way!
I’M HERE TO HELP!
As a speaker, you can learn to gently work with nervousness while you hone diction, enunciation and strengthen your vocal projection. Build self-trust, allowing for more personality to shine through, and have some fun sharing your message! I offer guidance and direction to design a well-crafted, well-executed, authentically engaged, fully connected, and fun experience. Become a more effective, compelling, and grounded speaker. Gain insight and clarity. Each session is customized based on the individual's needs, goals, and intentions.
And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

Mindfulness practice ~
incorporates focused awareness and contemplation of the breath, body, feelings, and the non-conceptual thinking 'process' (as opposed to analysis or evaluation of thoughts) and involves the careful cultivation of a certain kind of attention:
Mindfulness meditation is a grounded, 'in the body' presencing which enables a greater capacity for self-awareness and equanimity; it is not an esoteric 'out of body' experience.
Mindfulness is a practice, rather than a philosophy; it is not enough to simply read about and cognitively understand mindfulness.
Mindfulness is the process of engagement and cultivation of experiencing *right now* and not merely a 'technique'.
Mindfulness is ultimately a way of being that reconnects us to our own innate wisdom and wholeness.
So, while Mindfulness is simply 'paying attention', it's a very particular way of paying attention requiring systematic and intentional cultivation.
Benefits of Mindfulness training include:
Increased:
resilience
emotional intelligence
clarity and focus
relational effectiveness
energy/decreased fatigue
professional effectiveness
Improved:
immune function
sleep quality and sleep patterns
Greater:
access to self-compassion
capacity for healthy empathy
access to creativity
Plus:
More effective stress management
Responsiveness instead of reactivity
Decreased chronic pain
It is my privilege and an honor to support you on your journey of growth, transformation, and full expression!
Remember the love that is there all the time—inside, and all around you.
