LET'S GET STARTED
Who am I? I am a...
It has been a beautiful mess of a journey to get me here. Just like you, I am an ever-evolving human.
Just like you, I’ve had times where I felt alone. Misunderstood. Trapped in unhealthy relationships. Filled with anxiety. Longing for love.
Through all the twists and turns of my journey, it was at my lowest lows that I gained the determination and strength to climb my way to my highest highs. Losing my happiness taught me to never take happiness for granted. It taught me that living a life filled with connection and joy takes intention and work - it doesn’t just fall on your lap and stay there. It is a daily decision.
Now I live a life where I feel so deeply connected. I am my own best friend. My ride or die. My life is filled with dear friends and mentors who expand me, support me, ground me, and lift me up. Each person in my life is meant to be there and I am continuously creating sparks of connection with new wonderful humans who bring new light into my life. I am married to the most incredible man who makes my wildest relationship dreams come true and dares me to dream even bigger.
Now I’m here to dare you. Dream bigger. If you put in the work, you can have it.
In a world of total chaos, I feel deeply connected to myself and those I've chosen to surround myself with. I can help you feel the same.
Are you ready?
#1
I was born and raised in NYC
(Yes - people like me exist! No - my life was not like Gossip Girl. But I loved growing up in such a DYNAMIC, DIVERSE, AND VIBRANT CITY!)
#2
I went to the University of Michigan (go blue!). When I wasn’t making it rain hay… I studied business, writing, and psychology. I graduated with high distinction from the Ross School of Business in 2015.
#3
My husband and I live a nomadic lifestyle; we split our time between NYC, Florida, and the rest of the big wide world out there. In the past year, I’ve coached my clients from hotel rooms in Indonesia, Peru, Singapore, Thailand, Italy, France, Portugal, Costa Rica, Japan, and Australia. Zoom is pretty incredible!
#4
I am an animal fanatic. I go crazy for cows, goats, horses, elephants, dogs, pigs, hippos. You name it. I've had some insane near death experiences with wild animals - shoot me a message if you want some fun stories!
#5
I spent six years of my career in business strategy consulting, advising c-suite executives at F100 companies like PepsiCo and Walgreens. It was demanding, fascinating, fast-paced, and expanding… but not my life-long jam. It didn't light me up inside and fill me with joy and purpose that I now feel as a coach every single day. I'm So grateful to be able to work with all of you!
I've had the opportunity to travel to ~60 countries, many of which I have spent over a month exploring. Immersing myself in new environments and connecting with people from all walks of life is my passion - it invigorates me and sparks my creativity. It catapults me into a realm of boundless possibilities and profound connection.
#6
Solo travel is one of my greatest joys and my secret weapon for unlocking personal growth. I have found that magic happens when you get out of your comfort zone and embrace new experiences. I have adventured solo through Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Peru, Costa Rica, Italy, Indonesia, and Australia.
#7
I was raised in an observant Jewish household, where I kept Kosher and Shabbat. While I'm no longer observant, I feel deeply connected to the Jewish community. I'm incredibly grateful for my upbringing, which instilled in me values like mindfulness and kindness.
#8
Coaching adults in their 20's and 30's to have deeply fulfilling relationships is my passion, my purpose, my gift, and my career!
