Story
Empowered to be
As a child, I was gifted with multiple creative abilities; I sang, danced, sketched, painted, and wrote with natural talents beyond my nonexistent training, yet in full expression of who I was and what I wanted out of life. But circumstances brought it to a halt during my college years. Pressure to provide for my family, left no space for me.
The creativity and intuition I abandoned for over 20 years was rediscovered at the ripe old age of 37, when in my last year as a burned out teacher, a novel burst forth out of thin air. This creative resurgence brought me back to life.
Embracing my creative and intuitive spirit left me with a mission I could no longer deny - to give back to the world by nurturing inspiration, creativity, and bring forth the power in people to grow to their fullest potential.

Hello there!
I'm the founder of Oaks and Sails, and serve as an International Coaching Federation (ICF) Certified, Wayfinder Coach with a MA in Educational Psychology, and Stanford trained in Leadership Innovation and Design Thinking.
​
I also use the Intuitive Arts and Astrology, when requested, to support and guide what our logic and analysis reveal. I find that clarity is at its finest where the head and the heart meet.
Everywhere I go, my specialty is simplifying things that overwhelm and bringing big and complex ideas to fruition. I've supported the launch of businesses, provided counsel to leaders in education, supported aspiring creatives in structuring their vision, and developed systems to ease efficiency in community organizations.
​
I worked over a decade in education as a progressive teacher, school librarian, & curriculum consultant, supporting students and teachers reach their goals. ​
​
I'm also the owner of a family friendly creative studio and am currently editing a post-apocalyptic science fiction novel.
​
Thinking outside of the box is my bread and butter.​
​
As a multi-passionate person who also identifies as an artist, a poet, a singer, and avid problem solver (trigonometry was my favorite subject), I'm constantly living a creative experience.
​
My work is to Inspire a vision, Create a framework, and Empower you to take action. Then we measure results, reflect, and recalibrate. Rinse and Repeat.
If this is a time of exploration for you or your team, it would be an honor to partner with you.
Ready to make the impossible, well, not so impossible?
