Thank you so much to CEO SCOOP!
As I personally come to the end of an era and begin a new, it has been an honor and pleasure to get to tell my story and share my vision, up until this point.
Visibility experiences have been such an incredible blessing. Answering questions I never would have asked myself. Having to articulate my journey in a way that provides clarity for others, has simultaneously provided priceless clarity for me as well.
So much clarity, that the next step and phase has emerged and presented itself. I will be taking a much needed visibility break, in order to focus on opening the doors to my new office, here in Colorado.
I have a few more interviews coming out that have been in the works, but have already but a halt to new ones, as I focus on bringing this next adventure into fruition.
Thank you all for all of your love and support over the years. I’m excited to invite you to come visit my Galactic Attunement™ Office, once it is ready.

BEHIND THE SCENES: I’ve always been fascinated by “behind the scenes” footage, curious as to how the artist would have explained their own narrative, in their own words. So, I always like to share the original interview questions that lead to the article.
Please share the beginning of your career journey with us.
When I graduated college I planned on moving to Australia, to be an Editor in the Magazine Industry, until, for a week straight, every time I got in the shower, I received this intuitive call to ‘go live in a ski town, before I sat in a cubicle’.
I had already completed all on my educational testing to get my visa, but this experience was so blatant, I couldn’t not find out what this side-quest was all about.
So, I called my uncle who had lived in Vail for decades, and asked him if he could find me a job and a place to live, and I would go from there.
He happened to be personal training the owner of the bar, that I would come to work at for 10 years — the place and people I would come to fall in love with, that sent me on a journey of hospitality mastery and self discovery; simultaneously leading me to the love of my life, and the world I know/live/love today.

Through transformational perspective shifts and Galactic knowing, I support my clients at inflection points — where success outpaces internal alignment, and clarity becomes necessity.
My work integrates psychological insight, intuitive intelligence, and disciplined reflection to help leaders stabilize decision-making, regulate internal pressure, and act from resonance, rather than reactivity. By diving into who they are on a galactic, holographic and “unprofessional” level; we are able to bring their Soul, Spirit and personality into alignment and resonance with “the board room”.

My long term goals are to enjoy this beautiful life. To be as present and engaged with the people I love as possible. I’m excited to watch my kids, and my friends kids grow up and discover what they are capable of.
I want to dance, create, play, adventure, make love and laugh as much as possible.
I’m so excited to open the doors to my new office, creating a space where others can join me in creating our new world.
Who has been the most significant source of inspiration in your life?
Nature, art and friendship. Not necessarily in that order, they all hold the same rank.
I love, love; I love the arts and self expression, and I absolutely adore people.
My love for all that is, inspires me every moment of every day.
Mother nature, relationships, hospitality, being and athlete and artistic expression are my life blood.
I don’t think I could pick a single person, there are too many who have assisted in chiseling out this present day version.
The Universe and The G.O.D. have been my sanctuary through it all; the people in my life fill my heart with such happiness and gratitude — I could never put one above the other.

What were the most challenging obstacles you’ve encountered in your career?
Finding the balance between being mom, wife, bestie, daughter, sister, artist, athlete, adventurer, scientist, author, creator and an employee.
At one point I was working 5 jobs, 7 days a week, often 2 places in one day — with 2 small kids, 3 cats and a husband. Building my brand, writing articles, doing podcasts, making art, wrote a book, doing interviews, cleaning the house, running errands… it was allot but I enjoyed every minute of it.
Sometimes I felt like my head was spinning in circles, but I have the most amazing husband, who keeps me grounded and the best kids, family and friends a girl could ask for.
I’ve adored every place I have worked (leading up to working for myself) and all the people that came with it. “Work” never feels like work, it feels like getting to play and hangout with my friends.
I love creating, preforming, providing service — getting to be there for my friends and community when they need an open ear and heart to confide in.
