the beginning

Twenty years ago, I left IBM. I had a business degree from McMaster, I excelled at my job—but I was performing to fit in and it burnt me out.

So I built my own business. I used every framework I'd learned, every "best practice" I'd been taught. And I built something successful that looked nothing like IBM—but felt exactly the same.

The business looked successful from the outside. Forbes, Vogue, GQ, and Elle hired me to guide their writers. BBC, The Globe and Mail, and CTV featured my work.

But applying all the “right” business theories, I built a business that required me to work harder than I could sustain.

That's when I crashed.

I rebuilt focusing entirely on humanity—inner work, spaciousness, connection—rejecting anything that felt like productivity or performance.

But this was unfulfilling. I swung too far the other way.

What I Learned About Being Human
Honouring the whole person isn't choosing humanity over productivity. It's integrating both. People need meaningful contribution AND space to be human.

How That Shows Up In My Work
I work with individuals AND organizations—because real transformation requires both.

You can do all the inner work in the world, but if you go back into a system that punishes boundaries, you either leave or revert back.

And organizations can change policies, but if people still believe their worth comes from productivity, they won't use them. They'll still burn out. That's why I create spaces for individuals and organizations.

Because culture change without inner work is just new policies nobody uses. And inner work without culture change is people setting boundaries in systems that punish them for it.

I create spaces where people can see clearly—what they're carrying, what their systems are reinforcing, and what actually needs to shift.

I use embodied practices (movement, sound, creative exploration) because transformation doesn't happen in your head. It happens when you move what's stuck, sound what's silent, create what wants to emerge.

I work mostly with groups. The combined energy of people releasing together creates momentum you can't access alone. One person's courage opens the door for everyone else.

I come with questions and deep listening. I believe you already hold the answers—you just need space to hear them.
