I'm the founder of Beyond Freedom Coaching, a proud Métis woman whose roots run deep in the Red River in Treaty One Territory, where my father and grandparents were born. I'm a mom of two amazing teenage boys, a lifelong explorer of self-discovery, and someone who has chosen, again and again, to bet on herself.
When I'm not coaching, you'll find me strength training, dancing, playing softball, meditating, or taking peaceful walks in nature with my dog Lexi. I have a serious love for Earl Grey tea, meaningful conversations and deep connection. Laughter and joy are non-negotiables in my life.
I spent years exhausted, overextended and quietly wondering "why does this keep happening?"
Different people. Different situations. Same feeling.
And then one day after an extremely challenging event in my life, something shifted. I realized if I wanted things to change, I needed to own my part in it and I started asking "what is this trying to show me about myself?".
That was the beginning of me untangling the version of me that was built to survive, regulating my nervous system and rebuilding my identity. This work didn't just shape my career, it changed my life.
I have walked through some of life's hardest terrain. Childhood trauma. Divorce. Loss. Rebuilding as a single mother. Dating in midlife. Career pivots. Entrepreneurship.
And through all of it, I kept showing up. Looking inward even when it was uncomfortable. Reconnecting to myself and what matters most to me. Taking radical responsibility for my own experience.
And slowly, not overnight, not in a straight line, but steadily, things started to change. I wasn't just healing, I was expanding.
I started waking up without that familiar weight on my chest. I stopped dreading my own thoughts. I stopped tolerating what wasn't working and stopped apologizing for what I needed. My relationships have shifted and aren't surface level. They go much deeper.
I built a life that I'm proud of, but more than the life, it's my new way of being that means everything to me. More me. More expressed. More joy.
I know when to support regulation in my body and when activation is pointing me toward something important. A boundary that needs honouring or something that is ready to change.
My people-pleaser and perfectionist still show up. I'm human. The difference is in how I've learned to relate to all of me that has created an innner peace that I didn't think was possible.
If something in my story is resonating, I'd love to connect. The work I do is personal, deep and built around you. It would be an honour to be part of your journey.
