About Me
My deepest wish is for my clients to look back on their lives in peace, knowing they lived meaningfully and authentically.
My Story
Confronted with my mortality at a young age after nearly a decade of witnessing patients unexpectedly lose their lives, I was driven by an insatiable desire to save lives, often at the expense of my own well-being.
Growing up as a competitive tennis player, I honored a steadfast "never quit" mentality, dedicating thousands of hours to training and persevering through injury. This resilience proved invaluable during my time working in a Level-1 trauma center, throughout my pursuits of both law and medical degrees, and in my role as a management consultant at an internationally prestigious firm.
However, this mentality led me to neglect other important values, and my body grew tired of being ignored. I experienced burnout and injuries that forced me to redesign my life. After years of crashing against the current, I chose to embrace a state of flow.
As a coach, consultant, speaker, writer, and mental health advocate, I now pursue my vision while prioritizing my well-being and inspiring others to do the same. With my mortality front of mind, I choose authenticity over comfort and courage over fear. I honor the present moment and lead a life aligned with my values, optimizing my performance and prioritizing my well-being.
I empower clients to trust their inner discernment, identify paths in harmony with their values and aspirations, and liberate themselves from situations that are out of alignment with their purpose. Together, we can redirect energy towards cultivating a deeply fulfilling life.
