Root to Rise is here!

I am thrilled to share that I’m embarking on a new career as a leadership and mindset coach!

I recently completed the ICF-certified program (International Coaching Federation) called Presence-Based Coaching. The program combines my decades-long love for mindfulness with somatic-based training that teaches myself and others to become more successful, passionate and fulfilled through new practices for building self-awareness and resilience.

How did I get here? Over the last few years, I’ve had a lot of time to contemplate who I am and how I want to show up in the world. Covid happened and I had a huge career setback for the first time in my 30-year marketing career. Oh, and I shattered my kneecap, had three surgeries and was tied to a couch for longer than I can remember.

Challenging experiences can be soul crushing but they also build resilience. While sifting through my own personal and career challenges, I experienced the clarity that comes from creating space, sitting with what is, and leveraging mindfulness and neuroscience-backed tools and techniques to process what comes up. I said goodbye to my marketing career and committed to fully embracing my goal “to do work that allows me to feel more authentic, passionate and fulfilled.”

For those who know me, you know that my superpower is human connection. While I’m proud of my marketing career, what I’m most proud of are the deep connections I have made managing, mentoring and supporting so many passionate humans along the way. I got “out of my head and into my heart” (my 2023 mantra and a practice I often use in coaching) and spent time gaining clarity.

Given my passion for human connection and three decades working with founders, entrepreneurs and leaders, I’m excited to announce that Root to Rise Consulting has finally come to life! “Root to Rise'' represents a fundamental concept in yoga that acknowledges the importance of being grounded in the present moment. Everything in life is subject to ebb and flow so there is no light without darkness, no joy without sadness, no highs without lows.

My mission with Root to Rise is simple: use human connection to move leaders, founders and entrepreneurs into clarity.

A special thank you to those colleagues, clients and friends who have supported me during this transition as I step into my full self and guide you as you step into yours!
