My Story...

I've been to burnout and back, and learned a lot along the way.

I spent the first 12+ years of my working life as a lawyer, then partner, in a large law firm in Calgary.

As a busy professional, wife and mom of two young children (just seven months apart!), I struggled to find that elusive "work-life" balance.

I was always stressed. When I was working, I worried about my kids & what my long hours were doing to them. When I was home, I battled guilt that I wasn't at the office.  I kept a notepad by my bed to make insomnia-fueled notes about client files. I ate lunch at my desk, guzzled diet coke & coffee to stay awake, and drank red wine to sleep. 

I was "doing it all" - but none of it very well - and eventually, I burnt out.

I became dependent on unhealthy coping mechanisms (wine), forgot what life was really about & lost my mojo in the process.

After much soul-searching, I left law and began the work of creating a career & life that I didn't need to escape from.

As a coach & wellness expert, I'm inclusive, non-judgmental, and empathetic, because I've been where many of my clients find themselves.  

If you find yourself on the same path I was on, I'd love to connect.
