Definitely Not Your Typical Bio

The formal third-person bio is at the bottom of this page. The one below is just me, telling it like it is.

I’ve been sober for decades.
I’ve survived breast cancer.
I’ve built businesses, lost my way, reinvented myself, and learned that success means something very different than I once thought.

For years, I kept my intuition quiet. Hidden. Tucked neatly behind practicality, professionalism, and “let’s not scare the neighbors.”

I’ve worked in boardrooms and intuition. Strategy and soul work. Turns out they’re not as far apart as people think.

I blend intuitive insight with grounded, practical guidance that helps people create real change.

These days, I help people release guilt, shame, heartbreak, anger, and emotional weight so they can finally breathe easier and move forward.

I believe real change needs honest tools.

I believe wisdom can be funny, growth can be messy, and freedom often begins the moment you stop carrying what was never yours to hold.

I’m not interested in perfection.
I’m interested in truth.
In peace.
In laughter.
In helping people feel lighter than they did when they arrived.

If you’re looking for easy answers, magic fixes, and shortcuts, I’m not your person.

If you’re looking for real change, warmth, wisdom, humor, and someone who has actually walked through fire and came back with tools… welcome.

How I Work

I believe lasting change happens when honesty meets the right tools.

My work blends forgiveness coaching, intuitive insight, deep listening, and grounded practical guidance to help people move through what’s been keeping them stuck.

That might mean helping you release guilt or shame.
Heal an old heartbreak.
Trust your intuition again.
Break patterns that keep repeating.
Or finally get clear about what comes next.

No two people are alike, so no two sessions are exactly the same.

Some people come for emotional freedom.
Some come for clarity.
Some come because they’re tired of carrying what happened.

All are welcome.

My style is warm, direct, compassionate, and real. I’ll meet you where you are, but I won’t help you stay stuck there.

🏆 A Legacy of Leadership

Before I stepped fully into this work, I spent two decades helping shape the global concierge industry.

I founded a pioneering global association for independent concierge businesses, trained professionals around the world, and wrote The Concierge Manual… a book many still call the concierge bible (their words, not mine).

I also co-developed one of the early concierge software platforms, TriTrax. It now enjoys a peaceful retirement in tech heaven alongside rotary phones and floppy disks, but it helped establish standards long before the industry became mainstream.

In 2020, I officially closed that chapter. Not because the work stopped mattering, but because my path was evolving.

The intuition, discernment, and grit that guided me then never left.

I’ve always been here to help people feel supported, grounded, and more like themselves again.

These days, I just happen to meet them at the soul level.

Turns out, whether I was leading concierge teams or guiding forgiveness work, the heart of it was always the same:

Helping people breathe easier again.
