When I was 28 years old I suffered the worst injury of my life (ruptured achilles from volleyball).

Being unable to walk in the dead of winter in Minnesota gave me the perspective I needed to see that I was staying small in my life.

That injury was the impetus I needed to move across the country, go back to school, end my 4 year relationship and seek something MORE.

I can't help but do things a little differently so even though I went back to school to become an art therapist...

A few short years after doing therapy, I realized the work I was called to do
AND 
the women who were drawn to me
weren't coming for therapy.

The bravest thing I ever did was share my own personal art-making process with a small group of women.

And when I saw how much it resonated with them and how powerful that experience was for helping them see their inner truth...

there was no turning back.

I was blessed to own an art studio in Colorado for 6 years but Covid caused us to close those doors and forced me into the online space.

Little did I know my business would quadruple online.

I was actively studying marketing and building a sustainable business where I could enjoy my daugther, do work that I loved and have a spacious schedule.

I trained over 20 coaches in my art method and supervised them running hundreds of groups that I had designed.

That's when I fully understood the power of a framework to help other people be successful.

By that time, I'd been consistently earning over 1/2 a million a year in revenue so I felt confident to teach other women how to have their own successful art & healing businesses.

I love getting to teach these women, seeing the lighbulb moments and their confidence build over our time together.

I look forward to our calls twice every week and I'm always sad when the class comes to an end...but they're ready to leave "the nest" and create sacred space for their own clients using the power of Soul Art.

I feel grateful to be able to amplify the power of this work by training women who believe in it, just as much as I do.

Now I live in Costa Rica. My daughter is 9 years old. I'm in the process of getting divorced and feeling excited at the potential of what life has in store for me next.

I think it's important to always listen to the flow of life and respond to what is there.

So I don't know exactly what's next for me or my business, but I know I'll always be empowering women in some way.
