Can you relate?

You’ve done the work.
You’ve questioned everything, broken free from the illusions, and reclaimed your power.
You know you’re here for a reason—but there’s more.

More alignment.
More purpose.
More impact.

That’s why you’re here.
That’s why I’m here—to walk alongside awakening leaders, healers, and way-showers who are ready to embody their divine blueprint, lead with authenticity, and rise into their highest expression.

my journey on the path to embodied leadership

I wasn’t always the leader I am today. My path was one of deep initiation—through health crises, self-doubt, and a system that wanted me disempowered.

As a child, I struggled with chronic health issues that conventional medicine couldn’t solve. At 16, I underwent surgery to “fix” something that never needed fixing, setting me on a path of seeking external validation instead of internal truth. My 20s were marked by more surgeries, prescriptions, and a medical system that treated symptoms but never addressed the root cause.

But my body had its own wisdom. It rejected what wasn’t in alignment, forcing me to listen, surrender, and take back my power. The moment I stopped outsourcing my health and started trusting my inner knowing, everything changed.

My awakening wasn’t just about healing—it was about remembering who I am and why I’m here. That remembrance deepened through Human Design, Gene Keys, and the multidimensional truths of holistic health and ascension.

Learning I was an Emotional Generator with a 6/3 profile was like remembering something I had always known but never had language for. It wasn’t just my type that shifted things—it was my entire design. My Incarnation Cross, the four right-facing arrows in a left-sided family, and my powerful emotional wave all helped me see myself clearly. I began to understand why I felt so deeply, why I never fit into rigid systems, and why I had been conditioned to shrink myself to be more palatable to others.

For much of my life, I internalized the belief that I was too much—too emotional, too intense, too sensitive—and I learned to hide the most beautiful parts of myself. But these systems became sacred mirrors. They showed me that my life had been perfectly designed for my soul’s evolution. Gene Keys, in particular, walked me straight into my shadows and lovingly revealed the gifts buried beneath them. I started seeing the bigger picture—the purpose in the pain, the wisdom in the wounds, the Divine orchestration in it all.

Shining hasn’t always felt safe, but I now understand that my light is meant to be seen. And I know it’s no coincidence that Anthony and I found each other when we did—and that we were blessed with our son, Nick, early on. He was the glue that was meant to keep us together.

Our Life’s Work and Evolution spheres—part of the Genius Sequence in the Gene Keys—form the Codon Ring of Illuminate. And that’s just one of the many powerful connections our charts share when they’re laid side by side.

Human Design and Gene Keys helped us recognize that we are Sacred Partners—brought together not just for love, but for mission. Our shared path has tested us, refined us, and prepared us to carry this work into the world together. We’ve been preparing for this lifetime across many lifetimes.

Now, I use everything we’ve lived—through experience, deep study, and divine remembrance—to guide fellow light leaders and Sacred Partners through their own transformations, helping them reclaim their health, their voice, their power, and their purpose.

why I’m (we're) here

My life has been a masterclass in resilience, remembrance, and rising. Every challenge was a sacred initiation—guiding me to reclaim my voice, trust my intuition, and come home to who I truly am. I now see it was all part of a divine plan, designed not to break me, but to awaken me to my purpose: to help others rise, heal, and remember the divine blueprint within.

Anthony and I are here to walk beside you as you activate your own healing, reconnect with your truth, and embody the leader you came here to be.
