Empowering others to succeed
Passionate about health and business, I began my career by studying natural medicine. I then furthered my education by obtaining a business degree from the University of British Columbia, graduating with honors. Additionally, I became certified as a Chartered Human Resources Professional. My goal has always been to foster positive, healthy and productive personal and professional lives by using a holistic approach to achieve overall well-being.
Adversity can become awesomeness
I was dealt a rough hand in early life. And, at the age of 29, life decided to give me the biggest beating yet.
In 2011, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), an incurable autoimmune illness. Doctors predicted I would be in a wheelchair by 2016.
The universe was sending me a message. It was time to change and I could no longer ignore it.
Knowing that there is wisdom in every circumstance, this was an opportunity to completely change my life. I was determined to defy the odds. And defy the odds, I did.
I embarked on a healing journey that incorporated various therapies, from nutrition to psychedelics.
Through my four-pronged approach to wellness, encompassing mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional well-being, I achieved remarkable healing and results that baffled the medical community.
With my knowledge and experience, my personal triumph over adversity has become a source of inspiration, particularly for those facing similar challenges. Healing is possible, but you have to do the work.
Coaching, consulting, speaking events and writing
Throughout my journey, I've faced and overcome a critical illness, barriers in male-dominated industries, and have forged my own path to break through the glass ceiling.
My story serves as proof to others that embodying resilience, determination, and the pursuit of one's best self is the best way forward.
As a leader, mother and mentor, I'm deeply committed to empowering women and underrepresented groups to pursue their personal and professional dreams and excel in life.
I'm here to provide support through life and wellness coaching, business consulting, speaking events and writing engagements.
Together, we can overcome obstacles.
