Who I Am

I’m a coach, a creator, and a truth-teller- which sounds like a lot of hats until you realize they’re really just one thing. I tell people what they need to hear instead of what’s easy to say, then I stick around to help them do something with it. I’m part cheerleader and part drill sergeant- all in. I live at the corner of Grit & Grace- that’s where the best stuff happens!

My story

I didn’t set out to build three businesses. I set out to figure out who I actually was underneath the hats I’d been wearing: co-parent, professional, small business owner, friend, neighbor, community leader, the go-to person who everyone thought had it together. Two divorces and a lot of therapy later, I learned that the work of becoming yourself requires me to actually live, not just perform.

That’s where all of this comes from. Desiderata Consulting is the coaching side- the tough love and practical wisdom I wish someone had handed me years earlier. Fortis Fidei lets people wear their convictions instead of tucking them away. Even the products I rep, MONAT and doTERRA, fit the same thread- taking care of yourself is part of the work, not separate from it. Different pieces, same belief: you are worth the work.

My non-negotiables

My core values weren’t picked because they sound good. They’re the ideals that get tested in everyday life- in coaching sessions, hard conversations and the moments where it would be easier to soften the truth. As hard as it can be, I’d rather be honest than comfortable.

So, what do I actually do?

Honestly, a little bit of everything- but it’s not as scattered as it looks. Desiderata Consulting is where the real work happens- Splankna, SPARK, and ICE, three different ways to get you unstuck depending on what you need. Fortis Fidei lets you wear your values instead of hiding them. And yes, I also rep MONAT and doTERRA- because good hair days and a calmer nervous system are ‘worth the work’ too. It’s all the same mission, just different doors in.

Splankna

You’re carrying stuck patterns- old fears wiring your body won’t let go of,  no matter how much you’ve “processed” it in your head. When your emotional wounds are still sitting there, running the show from somewhere your mind can’t reach. Splankna gets underneath the thinking brain- a virtual session grounded in prayer and touch points that lets your body finally release what it’s been holding onto.

SPARK

You’re checking every box- the job, the routine, the “doing everything right”- and still feel like you’re managing your life instead of living it. SPARK is virtual coaching built to cut through the noise- tough love and practical wisdom that actually gets you unstuck, not just another pep talk that fades by Monday.

Immersive Coaching Experiences

Sometimes insight in a session isn’t enough- you leave a coaching call fired up, and then you walk back into your kitchen, the exact same clutter and the exact same patterns- and your fire’s out by dinner. ICE brings the work into your actual home, so the change happens right there in the mess of your real life- not in theory, not later, but NOW.

Fortis Fidei

You’ve spent years hiding parts of yourself- your faith, your humor, your convictions, your quirky weirdness- because somebody made you feel like you needed to. Fortis Fidei hands it back to you- your personality, your values, your beliefs, expressed loud and unapologetic, because you are worth the work of being fully yourself.

Hair Alaska

Years of dye, heat, and drugstore shampoos loaded with silicone have left your hair coated, weighed down, and honestly kind of tired- just like you. MONAT’s botanical-based formulas strip that buildup away layer by layer and support a healthier scalp underneath- so what grows back is fuller, stronger, and finally, actually yours again.

Desiderata Oils

If you’re running on fumes- stressed out and and sleep-deprived with a nervous system that never lets you fully relax. doTERRA’s essential oils give you something natural and tangible to reach for in the midst of chaos- a drop of calm, a breath of clarity, and a small ritual that helps you come back to yourself.
