As a creative, curious leader in corporate, you’ve achieved conventional success, but you sense an internal drift from yourself.

You’re highly competent, respected and high integrity. You know what’s important to you and you lead with your values yet…

Every career accomplishment seems to take more than it gives

You’re not sure if you can make it to the next milestone without breaking

Something is off —you invest time, energy and finances to fix your depletion, but the problem won’t go away

Deep down, you know you need to make a bigger change in how you show up in your life, work and leadership, but you don’t know what that change is, you struggle to trust yourself or take action on what you sense.

Maybe you’re…

A high achiever used to pushing through, but it’s no longer working

  • You’ve tried every tool, strategy, mindset shift and internal pep talk you know, but you’re still exhausted, misaligned, or unable to find a sustainable path forward.

  • You’ve been performing at a high level, but holding on by a thread, and a layoff, your work bestie leaving or a change in management has made your internal disconnect glaring and intolerable.

  • You’re resourceful, capable and self-reliant, but the cost of pushing through and figuring it out on your own has gotten too high.

Returning from a sabbatical or career break and looking for a new, aligned way forward

  • You stepped away intentionally from the workplace, reconnected to yourself, your creativity and clarity, but now find yourself unsure how to translate that clarity into a real, long-term life and work rhythm.

  • You’re approaching the end of your career break and the idea of returning to your old way of life and work feels agonizing.

  • You’re seeking structure, partnership, and creative & strategic experimentation to help you re-engage work in a way that honors the person you’ve become.

To emerge from this threshold with an authentic, artful, aligned life, you need to access and trust your inner wisdom.

Via somatic practice, mind-body connection and personalized creative reflection, I empower my clients to access their inner compass.

In the Chrysalis Contemplative you will:

Reclaim permission to evolve: Instead of feeling trapped between who you've been and who you're becoming, recognize the difference between inherited expectations and your own inner knowing. Gain clarity about what no longer fits and start living into what feels true without needing permission from anyone else.

Build self-trust: Rather than endlessly analyzing possibilities, begin testing that the life and work you want is viable through intentional experimentation and reflection.

Become your own compass: Instead of relying on certainty, external validation, or perfect plans, learn how to recognize misalignment, reconnect with your intuition, and take meaningful action forward.

Month 1

You’ll understand what is no longer sustainable, what is asking to evolve and how you want to show up differently in your life & work.

You’ll not just know, but feel and distinguish what is outdated versus emerging within your body, sourcing clarity, courage, stamina and joy from the latter.

You’ll start acting and making choices in line with your new self now, even if it's initially in small ways.

Month 2

You’ll develop a compelling vision for your life and work and begin gathering evidence that it's possible and sustainable.

You’ll feel a deeper confidence in yourself and your ability to navigate change while remaining true to who you are by nurturing evidence based self-trust.

You're not just introspecting and getting new insights, but rather shoring up your self-trust via experimentation and somatic integration that shows you what you want is possible and can be real, not just in your dreams.

Month 3

You’ll know how to recognize when something is out of alignment, reconnect with your inner wisdom and take meaningful action toward what feels true.

You’ll trust yourself to navigate change—not because you have all the answers—but because you know how to find your way back to you.

You’ll feel empowered to make a confident, clear decision for the next step in your journey.

An authentic, artful life starts with a powerful pause.

In 2022, I took a one year career break, and I reclaimed my personal power and ignited my inner vitality. I walked away from my 14 year tech career of external success, but quiet burnout, to craft my vision for what it meant to be alive.

I transformed my pain, disillusionment and uncertainty through honest, compassionate contemplation, trusting my intuition and inside out habit changes. Using the practices of The Chrysalis Cycle, I nurtured an environment for my own self-discovery, empowerment and metamorphosis.

I believe that you have the resources within you to actualize your vision for your life and career. My role is to support you in deepening your ability to access those resources and trust yourself. My practice is rooted in tuning into your body and inner wisdom as a guide to envision and embody what you want.

This experience is not a course, but rather a personalized, curated 1 on 1 haven to nurture lasting inner change.
