Why I Do This Work.
I was exactly where you are now. For 15 years, I thrived in media, working with clients like VNU, CBS, and MTV. On the outside, I was successful. But inside, something was missing. I wasn’t reaching my full potential, and I didn’t realize what was holding me back: I was in a battle with my own nervous system.
By my early 40s, that battle took the form of debilitating migraines that nearly consumed my life. Hitting rock bottom became my wake-up call.
In 2018, after over a decade of migraines, I discovered mind-body medicine — and everything changed. By learning how to regulate my nervous system through emotional hygiene, mindset shifts, setting boundaries, and honoring my needs, I began to heal. That transformation led me to become a licensed psychotherapist and certified coach, helping hundreds of others heal from chronic pain.
What I realized is this: the journey of entrepreneurship mirrors the journey of healing — with its emotional ups and downs, forward steps and backslides. The tools I used to overcome chronic pain became the same ones I used to grow as an entrepreneur. They empowered not only me but my high-achieving clients in their lives and careers as well.
These techniques aren’t just about pain relief; they’re about tapping into your inner knowing and moving past the fears that cloud your vision. And I can’t wait to share them with you.
Client Success Stories
Ashley, a mother of three and founder of a high-impact charity supporting kids with cancer and their families, was once bound by chronic pain and migraines. She couldn’t travel or fully engage with her life. Through our work, she not only healed her pain, but she transformed her marriage, regained control of her charity, and went on to become head of marketing in a multi-franchise company. Oh, and she also published a book about it all, dedicating an entire section to the breakthroughs we made together.
Mark, a corporate lawyer, came to me debilitated by anxiety. His career and personal life were under significant stress. After our work together, he rebuilt stronger connections with his loved ones, became a father, and secured a partnership at a new firm where he can make a meaningful impact.
Courtney was stuck in a toxic job environment and plagued by severe migraines. While working with me, she not only learned how to manage her migraines, but also set strong personal boundaries, left her toxic job, and launched a creative business aligned with her values. Now, she runs an alpaca farm, creates and sells fiber art, teaches mindful crafting, and fulfills commissions for her beautiful tapestries.
