Meet Your Coach

I was born in Australia and raised by parents who were traveling entrepreneurs. In my short life I have lived in Australia twice, Florida twice, California twice, and on a boat in the British Virgin Islands. 

I have also spent extended time in England, and South Africa. 

This gave me a powerful love for travel and new experiences.

Eventually my family settled on California as our home base.

Hello

My early teen years I split most of my time between volunteering at my local aquarium and sailing on a local race team. 

After my parents' separation I discovered a passion for art. It was a way I could healthily release my struggles and help focus my mind. I discovered how healing art really is.

After living out of my grandmother's two bedroom apartment with my mom and brother for a year we moved to a place where we really found healing. Thats where I discovered a need to help others to get past their blocks.

The rest of my late teens was spent volunteering as a counselor/crew on tall ships that would take summer camp groups to islands off of California's coast. I found working with kids to be extremely rewarding. 

I also spent multiple months 

traveling in my late teens:

First to Canada in a cross country road trip with my little brother and then a two month sailing trip to Malaysia and Indonesia.

I have seen and experienced more of this world than most would dream of and I'm only just beginning.   

My Work:

With my past experiences I have found value in helping others find balance in their lives through different mediums of art and healthy communication.

My Family:

I am best friends and Buisness partners with my mom and our tight knit family circle is supported by open communication and trust. 

My family is my main support. Having grown up with an absent narcissistic father, my mom and brother's support means so much to me and I am reminded everyday how grateful I am for the peacefulness and laughter they bring.  

For Fun:

In my free time I can usually be found hunched over a painting I've been working on for x amount of hours or lounging in the sun with a good book.

I recently invested in a van, which I am renovating myself into a comfortable space to do long term vanlife. 

My commitment is to provide my clients with a fun, creative, and interactive way to help open minds and process emotions.

"It can be hard to express oneself with words; 

but a canvas can sing about a person's soul, 

or scream of their pain. "

 I love providing people with the safe space to explore their creative outlets and express themselves in unique ways. 

It's my hope to help my clients find their creative spirit and provide unique ways for self expression.

My dream is to help young minds explore their creativity and learn self expression in a safe and positive environment. 

...

I know it can be hard to open yourself up and be raw in front of people, I want to provide a way to take your past experiences and traumas and make them into beautiful pieces of art that tells your story for you. 

..

I want to make this world a more positive and bright place one wondering soul at a time.
