About
A steady voice for clarity, calm, and meaningful growth.
I guide people through seasons of change with compassion, purpose, and a deep belief in their ability to come back home to themselves.
My Story
For more than 25 years, I have worked in leadership roles where clarity, communication, and humanity shaped everything I did. I led teams, supported clients, and helped organizations grow through fast-moving seasons of transformation.
Along the way I learned something important.
Success without grounding is not sustainable.
Strength without self-awareness eventually fractures.
And people deserve more support than most workplaces know how to offer.
My own experience with burnout, grief, transition, and reinvention showed me how powerful it is when we pause long enough to listen to what we truly need. The Equinox Studio grew from that understanding. It is a place where people can reconnect with themselves through reflection, calm practices, and simple reset tools that are easy to use in daily life.
This work is not about perfection. It is about presence. It is about choosing yourself, choosing honesty, and choosing rhythms that help you move forward with steadiness instead of pressure.
My Purpose
I created The Equinox Studio to offer support for real life.
Support for the person who feels tired.
Support for the person who feels pulled in too many directions.
Support for the person who knows they want something different but does not know where to begin.
Everything you find here is designed to help you reconnect with your inner steadiness. I believe in gentle growth, honest reflection, and creating space for the quiet truth beneath all the noise.
My Approach
I combine leadership experience with reflective tools, emotional awareness, and accessible practices. You will notice a few themes throughout my work:
Clarity
Simple tools that help you understand where you are and what you need.
Compassion
A soft place to land in seasons that feel heavy.
Consistency
Small steps that create a steady rhythm for your next chapter.
Reflection
Space to explore what feels true for you, without judgment.
My work is shaped by leadership, grounded awareness, and the belief that each person deserves a life that feels aligned.
My Values
Authenticity
Showing up as yourself, without shrinking or performing.
Compassion
Meeting your experiences with softness instead of self-blame.
Growth
Choosing learning, renewal, and presence over pressure.
Connection
Building relationships that honor honesty, respect, and care.
Intention
Acting in ways that reflect your values and your truth.
Wherever you are in your season, you are welcome here.
This space was created for real people with real lives, doing their best to move through challenge and change with self-respect and gentleness.
If you would like quiet support, thoughtful tools, and reflections to steady your path, I would be honored to walk alongside you.
Where I am headed
As ideas grow within the incubator, they find their place across three spaces:
The Compass Point — leadership reflections, clarity, and thought development.
The Equinox Studio — grounding, Rest. Reset., and simple practices for balance.
The Digital Catalyst Circle — community, shared learning, and reflective leadership conversations.
Together, they form the early architecture of what The North Star Co. is becoming: a steady, intentional ecosystem for clarity, connection, and meaningful growth.
Thank you for being here.
