childhood story...
I began as an insecure, people-pleasing teen. I was hyper-aware of social norms. Not holding the same social or financial status as my peers, I felt insecure about my outfits and wanted nothing more than to be part of the “cool kids”. I was over-fixating on my looks and my outer expression.
One day, my mom made me show up to a classy event (where everyone would be wearing expensive dresses) in jeans!! I had no choice but to arrive in this super simple, casual outfit. I was completely in shock and totally embarrassed, but as soon as I got inside, I decided to be confident anyway, and BOY did this experience change my life FOREVER.

my story
This journey has been so full, and I’m here to share what I’ve learned along the way…
I felt like everyone was staring at me, but at the end of the day, nobody cared what I was wearing, and I had SO much fun!! It was freeing; the weight of insecurity fell off somewhere on the dance floor around 9 pm.
To this day, that memory has shaped the way I view style.
It doesn’t matter what you’re wearing, it’s HOW you wear it.
My career path began in a left-brained, technical field where I was naturally talented, but knew I wasn’t utilizing all the skills in my toolbox, so my Mechanical Engineering degree took a backseat after graduating. I went on to work in customer relations, product management, and retail (my favorite).
In divine timing, this experience led to me starting my own business in the Personal Style Coaching industry, which was quite rare in 2019. I started by organizing closets, planning community wellness events, coaching friends on their style confidence, and designing storefronts of local secondhand businesses – increasing their sales by 40% overnight. I soon attracted my first few paying clients to teach them creative, out-of-the-box thinking to enhance their personal style and daily outfit game.
After a big promotion to my dream job (which I thought I wanted), I quickly realized I was in the wrong industry. Interestingly enough, I was soon let go, which helped me with the decision to take some time to figure out my life path.

After a big promotion to my dream job (which I thought I wanted), I quickly realized I was in the wrong industry. Interestingly enough, I was soon let go, which helped me with the decision to take some time to figure out my life path.
I found my flow within a life of constant change.
Once I chose to listen and be guided by the signs and signals the universe sent my way...
This quickly blossomed, and my passion became my life's work!! I love what I do now to help people with their confidence - the transformation can be seen and felt externally AND internally - and I’ve augmented my services with LifeStyle Coaching, utilizing skills I’ve learned on my path - i.e. yogic principals, Human Design, meditation, Flower Essences (natural plant allies), Ayurveda, and more… to assist with this full life transformation.
Over the years, living abroad and traveling have helped me find my unique voice, sustainable style, and worldly perspective. I’ve gained precious insights, priceless clarity and taken back my power in making big life decisions.
Throughout it all, I’ve learned to ground myself through daily practices like breathwork, meditation, yoga & journaling.
I have so many people to thank who have helped me get to where I am today. Reading self-help and deeply insightful books like ‘Non-Violent Communication’, ‘A New Earth’, ‘Healing Your Aloneness’, and ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ have been key elements in my growth. I continue to write about my personal insights in my growing collection of journals.
One such tool is flower essences, I have benefited tremendously from using them daily; from creative expression to healing my heart to speaking up courageously and consciously when I need to, allowing grief and sorrow to pass through without draining my life force. The natural love and gentle guidance of flower essence blends have supported me in really tough times.
In my work with clients, be it a Closet Purge or a Soul Alignment session, we use Flower Essences to empower and support this deep transformational work. In addition, all LifeStyle Alchemy coaching clients receive their own carefully chosen blends to take with them and support them along their journey between sessions.
I have been inspired by so many experiences along my path, as well as different tools & daily practices which weave themselves so naturally into my coaching business.
In addition, the healthy routines and habits I empower my clients to use allow them to remain grounded and return to center while staying on track with their goals and visions. For example, nervous-system regulating practices as well as yearly vision boarding, monthly goal setting, weekly intentions, and daily morning and evening routines.
These tools have greatly shaped me in my journey and it brings me joy to share them with you.
No matter where you’re at on your journey to self love and confidence, I am ready to support you as your Personal LifeStyle Coach. Together we will alchemize whatever has dimmed your light so you can shine authentically.
The journey has already begun; sustainably, intentionally and tailored for you.
