As the oldest of four, I naturally became the one people turned to when life felt heavy. From a young age, I learned how to hold space for others—and eventually realized that this was my purpose.

My early studies were in Speech Pathology and Audiology, where I focused on supporting the Deaf and Autistic communities. But in my twenties, I took a different path and joined my family’s business, where I spent years coaching people through personal and professional challenges. I didn’t know it then, but that experience would become the foundation of my work today—listening deeply, reframing old stories, and helping people see possibility where they once saw pain.

At 41, I hit a turning point. I had stepped away from work to focus on motherhood, but what I found instead was the weight of anxiety I’d been carrying for decades. What I had long accepted as normal—the tight chest, clenched throat, tense shoulders—was actually a body stuck in survival mode.

After more than 20 years of therapy and a few chronic diagnoses, I finally understood what was really going on. I wasn’t broken. I was carrying unresolved trauma.

That insight changed everything.

I immersed myself in trauma science, Polyvagal Theory, Parts Work, and Rapid Transformational Therapy—drawing wisdom from thought leaders like Gabor Maté, Bessel van der Kolk, Don Miguel Ruiz, and Brené Brown.

In 2020, I founded Flip Your Mindset™—a coaching practice grounded in lived experience and advanced trauma training. I now help others understand and heal the roots of anxiety so they can create calm from the inside out.

Today, I’m the creator of The Calm Code™, author of the forthcoming book by the same name, and developer of the HURRT™ Assessment, a free tool that helps people uncover how early life experiences have shaped their adult patterns.

Through 1:1 coaching, group programs, and keynote talks, I teach individuals and organizations how to HEAL anxiety from within, unpack their invisible backpacks, and live with more clarity, compassion, and choice.
