I am a somatic leadership coach, guided by a unique blend of experiences that bridge the worlds of technology, psychology, & transformative leadership. My work focuses on helping  leaders, facilitators, & change makers craft a way of being that is deeply rooted in their true essence, creating lives of meaningful impact and profound personal fulfillment.

My journey began with a 15-year career as a software engineering tech leader, where I led international teams & contributed to innovative projects like co-developing the first Facebook phone. My technical foundation, including a Master’s in Computer Science from UCSD and leadership roles in major tech hubs like San Diego, London, and San Francisco, has equipped me with a deep understanding of complex systems and the intricate human dynamics that drive innovation and organizational success. I have navigated the complexities of corporate dynamics, led teams through rapid innovation cycles, and orchestrated large-scale projects, all while remaining deeply attuned to the human element at the heart of organizational success.

Time and again I saw how challenging it was to create systemic transformative change & felt called to explore a more expansive approach to leadership—one that is participatory (inclusive, engaged, & empowering), integrates the analytical and strategic skills of a traditional leader and holds the holistic, intuitive approach of an embodied guide. Alongside my corporate work, I've spent 20+ years training in holistic and psychological modalities, including receiving a M.A. in East-West Psychology with a focus in Transformative Leadership, significant coursework in counseling psychology, & 3 years training in the Hakomi therapeutic model. My  work now focuses on the intersections of psychology and leadership, where transformative learning, somatic practices, participatory methodologies and systems thinking converge to create conscious, embodied leadership programs. These experiential programs empower leaders to embody presence and take actions aligned with their vision and values.

In my coaching practice, I offer a path for those who are navigating life’s transitions—whether rediscovering themselves or seeking to align their work with their deeper values. I see you as your own wise sage - I am not here to fix you, but to honor & support you in opening your creativity, developing your resilience, & discovering your multidimensional wisdom. I include many embodied practices, such as art, nature, song, movement, guided imagery, play & mindfulness, as these are medicines for our soul.
