🌿My Journey

For over 35 years, I worked in the legal world. I stayed busy, did what I was “supposed” to do, and built a life that looked stable from the outside. But inside, I felt stuck like I had more to give, more to feel, and more to experience. Eventually, I stopped ignoring that voice inside me.

I became an indoor cycling instructor. Then I opened my own studio. Then I went even deeper, becoming a certified life and health coach. And just like that… I started becoming me again. These days? Life looks completely different. I traded in the desk job for a passport and a purpose.

Now I travel the world playing drums in Portugal, dancing the night away in jazz clubs in Spain, and kayaking at midnight off the coast of Croatia.

But the real journey wasn’t across oceans. It was the journey back to myself. Rooted & Rising is for anyone who feels like they’ve been surviving instead of living. It’s for people who are ready to move, nourish, and grow into a life they’re actually excited to wake up to.

If you’re reading this and wondering if it’s too late to start over, hear me clearly: It’s not. You just have to take the first step.

And I’d love to walk that path with you.
