I did not choose this work. It chose me first.
Ten years ago I was handed a diagnosis that took apart the life I had planned. Cancer, and then more of it. What followed was the hardest stretch I have lived through, and it rearranged almost everything I believed about how a life is supposed to go.
I am not going to tell you it was a gift. It was not. But it did teach me something I could not have learned any gentler way: that the space between the life you had and the life you are heading toward is real, it takes longer than anyone tells you, and almost nobody knows how to sit in it without panicking.
I do this work because I know that middle place from the inside, and because I know how much lighter it gets with someone beside you.
These days I live in Ubud, Bali, which is its own kind of transition and taught me plenty. I work one to one with people all over the world, most of them somewhere in the middle of their own turning point.
What I bring to it
- Lived experience of a life that came apart and had to be rebuilt
- No script, no five step framework, no forced positivity
- Direct conversation, warmth, and a high tolerance for the messy middle
- A bias toward practical next steps over endless insight
