Living Visionary: Catching up with the incredible members of the Visionary Community!
In this series, I’ll be catching up with the incredible member of our Visionary Community from past and present.
This is a project that I started while I was on Maternity Leave (#VisionaryMama) with my first baby as a way to stay plugged in, inspired and rooted among the community of clients and students that I’ve supported over the last (almost) 8 years.
Enjoy, and if it feels appropriate please support their amazing businesses!

Always…
Get outside, look at the sky and connect with Mother Earth. Move the body and take deep breaths. Make a wish at 11:11.
Never…
Listen to people who don’t have the life you desire.
Advice for other entrepreneurs, who are slightly less far along…
Enjoy the process of failing forward. Drop perfectionism. Explore what lights you up and how your audience receives your message.
Tool, resource, podcast, book or person you’ve invested in that’s added value to your entrepreneurial journey
Investing in coaches and masterminds are my favorite investments for growth + community. Healy is a personal wearable frequency device that supports my mental + emotional well-being as a mama entrepreneur.
Tell us more about your business (what do you do, who do you help, what does your workday look like, how do people find out about you).
Help the people who are navigating massive life transitions who are ready to reclaim their identity, sovereignty and personal power in all areas of their lives. Most of my clients find me through Google.
Recent milestone you’ve celebrated in your business?
A milestone that I have reached in my business was self-publishing my book. I got the idea of the book in 2018.
I wrote the book when I was pregnant with my daughter, Bella, in 2020 during the pandemic. Publishing the book in January 2023 before the birth of my son, Bodhi, was a satisfying accomplishment. Seeing random deposits in my bank account is a lovely bonus that comes with this milestone as well.
Favourite way to wind down after a long workweek.
Snuggling on the couch with Bella + Bodhi and hubby watching a movie we all love to sing along to.
Before starting my workday, I make sure to…
Take a moment to put my intentions through pen to paper. My quick prompts include 5 key feelings to embody, 5 things to release + 5 things I am grateful for.
Best part of my work is…
Witnessing the transformation of my clients from the moment they walk in and how they feel when the session is complete.
Tips for someone who is hesitant to follow their heart and start their own business?
Trust that your mess is your message, and that is medicine that someone out there is looking for. You are meant to share your gift with the world. After all, we are all simply walking each other home.
Last vacation you took (and where did you go)…
Our son went on his first airplane at 10 months old to California for the holidays with my side of the family. We strolled by the ocean, had fireside chats, happy hour with my siblings, went ice skating, built blanket forts and rang in the new year 3 times for the different time zones that my family lives in.
My family lives in Toronto, my brother + parents live in Calgary and my sister in California.
Bucket list vacation that you hope to embark on in the next 5 years (where to and why?)
I would love to visit Peru or Bali within the next 5 years. I feel an energetic pull to explore the lands in a spiritual way.
