You've done the work. Read the books. Had the insights.

So why does your life still look the same?

Most people don't need more information. They need integration—a way to turn what they know into how they live. I help people recognize unconscious patterns, regulate their nervous systems, and create lasting change that actually sticks.

About Me

After 19 years of marriage, my world turned upside down in ways I never saw coming. It was gritty, raw, and heart-shattering. But in the ashes, I found something deeper: the capacity to hold both truth and compassion—to stop abandoning myself while staying connected to others.

That rupture became my real training ground. Not because I wanted it to be, but because healing required me to practice everything I'd been teaching—this time with everything on the line.

For over two decades, I’ve been a coach, a yoga teacher, and a leader of transformational programs. I founded Shift Power Yoga, built Shift Labs, and have guided thousands of people through growth, leadership, and healing. But the truth is: my real credentials come from life itself—the grit of heartbreak, the grace of healing, and the courage to keep showing up.

This is the work I now do with others: helping people recognize the moment they abandon themselves, stay present with discomfort without collapsing, and create change that lives in their body—not just their head.

Today, I weave this philosophy into everything I offer:

  • The Grit and Grace Podcast (with Erin Payne and Brian Thiessen), where we have real conversations about the struggles and triumphs of being human.

  • Transformational retreats, including Sacred Shift—designed for families who love someone struggling with addiction. Stay tuned for upcoming Grit and Grace.

  • Leadership and coaching programs that help people find alignment, resilience, and authenticity in their work and relationships.

  •  One-on-One Coaching and Mentorship

In 2010, with my bank account giving me the side-eye, I did something either brilliantly brave or completely bonkers—I threw every penny I had into an intensive training with world-renowned teacher Baron Baptiste. Spoiler alert: It worked out. What I found wasn't just another certification to hang on my wall (though my wall game is strong). I found freedom. The real, messy, beautiful kind.

Fast forward to today, and here's what I've been up to:

  • Guiding humans through transformations that make butterflies look amateur

  • Training coaches who are out there creating ripple effects of awesome

  • Building communities that prove we're better together (10,000+ people and counting!)

  • Writing best-selling books (because apparently I had something to say)

  • Getting featured in fancy places like Trendz Magazine and Boulevard Magazine (Mom's proud)

  • Creating a certification program that turns passionate humans into exceptional coaches (while making bank from anywhere—because why not?)

How I Work: The CORE Method

Most coaching focuses on insight. But insight without integration just creates more shame. Here's how we do this differently:

Create Safety — Your nervous system won't let you change until it feels safe to. We start by regulating your body's threat response so transformation can actually land.

Observe the Pattern — You're not broken. You're running software installed when you were young. We bring awareness to habit loops, self-abandonment cycles, and invisible contracts—not to judge, but to see clearly.

Restore Self-Trust — Self-trust isn't confidence. It's follow-through with your own truth. This is where you learn to choose yourself without disconnecting, set boundaries rooted in self-respect (not fear), and repair instead of retreat.

Embody & Integrate — Insight becomes practice. We rehearse new responses, regulate in real time, and integrate change through repetition—not a single catharsis.

This work isn't about fixing what's broken. It's about remembering what's intact.

My approach? Think masterful transformation meets keeping-it-real strategy. I combine deep inner work with practical tools that create lasting change, all while making the journey actually enjoyable (because growth doesn't have to feel like a root canal). I help you:

  • Break free from those limiting beliefs that have overstayed their welcome

  • Discover your authentic confidence (the kind that sticks around even on bad hair days)

  • Transform your past challenges into your greatest teaching tools

  • Regulate your nervous system so you can be the superhero you were meant to be

  • Build a coaching practice that lights you up while serving humanity 

  • Create meaningful impact while enjoying the freedom to work from anywhere (beach office, anyone?)

  • Design a life and business aligned with your deepest values (and your bank account)

I've invested over $200,000 in my own development (my accountant still twitches), trained with the best of the best, and am constantly evolving my work because, let's be real, yesterday's solutions are about as useful as a flip phone at a TikTok convention.

Today, I'm embracing life on my beautiful Okanagan acreage with my loyal dog and independent cats who keep me laughing daily. My deep connections with my adult kids fill my heart, and I wake up each day living what I teach—that life's unexpected turns can become our most powerful chapters.

Whether you're seeking personal transformation or feel called to become a certified coach who creates global impact, I'm here to guide you through that journey. No fluff, no BS, just real transformation with a side of laughter (because let's be honest, that's how we get through life's plot twists).

Ready to shake things up? Book a Discovery Session with me. Fair warning: your life may never be the same (that's kind of the point).

Your extraordinary life is calling. And it's getting impatient.

P.S. If you're still reading, we're probably going to get along just fine.

You Might Be Ready for This Work If:

  • You're exhausted from managing everyone else's emotions while abandoning your own

  • You know your patterns but can't seem to break them

  • You've intellectualized your trauma but haven't metabolized it

  • You're good at helping others but terrible at receiving support

  • You're ready to stop explaining yourself and start trusting yourself

  • You want change that sticks—not another weekend breakthrough that fades by Tuesday

What This Work Actually Does

This isn't about becoming more. It's about becoming honest.

You'll learn to notice the moment you abandon yourself. To stay present with discomfort without collapsing or armoring up. To tell the truth without burning bridges. To forgive without bypassing. To create boundaries rooted in self-respect, not fear.

And you'll do this in relationship—not isolation—because healing happens between people, not just inside your own head.

Pattern Awareness

 Stop defending the loops that keep you stuck. Learn to see your unconscious habits without shame—so you can finally choose differently.

Nervous System Safety

Your body remembers every time you abandoned yourself. Regulation isn't theory—it's practice. We teach your system it's safe to change.

 Relational Repair

You can't heal in isolation. Learn to stay connected while speaking truth, repair without retreating, and stop performing your way through relationships.
