About Me
I left everything safe behind. Not because I wasn’t scared, but because I wanted to feel alive.
The Story Behind the Bold Life
You might see the confidence now, the clarity, the joy, the groundedness.
But like most women, I didn’t get here without a journey through uncertainty, pivots, and deep rediscovery.
My Turning Point
There was a time when I had everything that should have felt “enough”— a beautiful family, a career, the checkboxes of a good life. But something inside me refused to settle.
What if there was more?
What if I didn’t have to keep living by someone else’s script?
What if I could rewrite my story, on my own terms?
So, I did.
I sold everything. Packed up my life. Took my three kids, my husband, and a boat, and we set sail.
With no sailing experience. No certainty.
Just a calling to live more truthfully and fully.
For two years, the sea stripped away every distraction, and gave me back my sense of self.
About
The Life I Rebuilt
(and Help Others Build)
Since then, I’ve moved across provinces, shifted careers, created businesses from the ground up, and worked with women just like you, women ready to stop waiting and start living.
From home renovation and space design to mindset work and life coaching, I’ve learned that the outer transformation means very little without the inner one.
Through it all, I learned this: your boldest, most fulfilling life won’t happen by accident. You have to design it.
My Work Today
- I now help women around mid-life crisis, mothers, creatives, caregivers, achievers, reconnect with themselves.
- To rewrite the story they thought they had to live.
- To awaken purpose.
- To take courageous, aligned steps toward a life that feels like home.
- This isn’t quick-fix coaching.
- This is a grounded return to your truth, and the bold life you were born for.
2 years at sea with 3 kids, no sailing experience.
My Book: Sailing Back to Life
In Sailing Back to Life, I share the raw, real story of our two-year sailing journey, a bold leap that changed everything.
It’s a memoir about courage, trust, and coming home to yourself in the middle of the ocean, with no roadmap but a deep inner knowing.
One Sailboat. Two Years. Three Kids.
The adventure of a lifetime, and the beginning of a life reclaimed.
If you’ve ever wondered if it’s too late to begin again, this book is for you.
