Through a series of childhood and early adult "micro-traumas" I learned to keep the peace, diligently working to create an oasis of calm wherever I went. I’ve always had a warrior inside me that pushed through adversity and kept me constantly searching for more peace within, acceptance and love for myself no matter what was happening around me. Over time, I developed a recurring theme in my relationships (men, in particular) where I continually sacrificed my desires and aspirations for others.

 
Finally, I had enough of worrying about how everybody else felt about me and I decided it was time to consider my own feelings as a priority. I hit a turning point where I realized I needed to put myself first and I invested in building the first of my salons. It was exhilarating and I grew rapidly—and that was only the beginning.

I’ve since spent decades as a business owner, buying and selling salons and overcoming perfectionism, overthinking, and yes, people pleasing along the way! I eventually learned to trust my gut, not giving into fear and worry, and it’s been a lifelong journey that continues. I’m learning and building upon what is necessary to live as wholeheartedly as possible from moment to moment each day. 

As a Certified Coach it’s now my passion to help women leave their people-pleasing ways behind and embrace their worthiness through discovering their authenticity, resetting their belief system and implementing custom strategies to live their life Wholeheartedly.
