about me

In 2013, I decided to embark on my coaching career. At the time, I owned and operated a thriving beauty business in Studio City, California, with a full staff and a steady flow of clients. My employees stayed busy, and I maintained a waitlist three months long. I had been featured in jet-setting and luxury lifestyle magazines, appeared on several TV shows, and was even offered a regular role on a popular TV network. Working with a diverse range of clients, including celebrities and professionals, was a regular part of my career. You could say I was at the peak of my professional journey. 

 Although part of me thrived on running a business, I found myself yearning for something different. Seeking change, I decided to expand to a second location in Beverly Hills, CA, hoping it would bring fulfillment—but it didn’t. In the meantime, my father unexpectedly passed away, I was devastated. His pride in my success had always been a driving force for me, shaping our conversations and connection. With him gone, I realized I needed to re-evaluate my values and goals. Instead of expanding further, I chose to close that chapter of my life. I sold my business and dedicated myself to full-time volunteering. 

As I thought about which direction to take in my new chapter, I reflected on the many clients I had seen on a weekly basis for years, that I had grown so fond of. Many were unhappy and unfulfilled with their career or relationships. Surprised at how young I was and able to build such a business, I was often asked how I did it. Everyone was surprised to learn that I had no college education, not even a high school diploma. In fact, I had not even finished the eighth grade since my mother was dying and I had been pulled out of school. Despite all of that, I was able to help many women transition from their corporate jobs to starting their own businesses as I had done. In addition, helping my clients see themselves more clearly helped them do better in their personal and professional relationships. These thoughts warmed my heart and motivated me to pursue a coaching career.

I immersed myself in education. I attended various seminars, workshops, and training programs as well as getting my high school diploma, and Bachelor’s Degree in Family Counseling, minoring in Psychology. In the process of doing all this work, it put me face to face with my own traumas. It helped me to do my own “inner work” that needed to be healed. With the initial intent I had in helping others, I found that I was healing myself along the way. 

Today, I am a Trauma-Informed Life and Relationship Coach. I believe healthy relationships start with ourselves. Doing the “inner work”, connecting with, and healing the wounded inner child that is longing to be seen and heard. I help people work through and release their heavy emotional burdens on a cellular level to re-align with their authentic selves, enhance their self-confidence, and create deep, meaningful relationships.

Being a survivor of narcissistic abuse and C-PTSD, I have learned the importance of creating a safe and stable space for ones to be seen, heard and heal. That is what I strive to provide for you! 

Some of my personal values that play a deep, integral part of my personality and coaching practice are Compassion, Honesty, Trust, Respect, Humility, Willingness, Growth, Creativity, Humor and Presence.
