Creative Business Coach, Award-Winning Artist & Mentor for Creative Hearts who want to Flourish, Flow & Prosper.
If you’re looking for more joy, inspiration, fulfilment, profits, clarity and support, you’ve found a home here. Welcome!
My desire is to support Creative Hearts
…to dissolve creative blocks, develop a loving relationship with themselves, nurture their creativity and reframe the beliefs and patterns that keep them from following their heart and making the creative contribution they would love to make in the world.
My approach is to embrace gentleness, playfulness and self-care to navigate self-doubt and instead cultivate deep self-trust so you can truly enjoy the creative process, bring together your body of work, make money doing what you love and leave a creative legacy you’re proud of.

I absolutely love inspiring others to follow their own creative dreams.
