AWAKEN INNER COURAGE

With over 30 years of experience in the hospitality industry, I spent 23 of those years with the iconic brand, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, where I served as Corporate Director of Culture Transformation. I bring a rare blend of corporate leadership expertise and holistic wellness wisdom. During my time with Ritz-Carlton, I had the honor of consulting for Fortune 500 companies, delivering keynote presentations to over 10,000 leaders across the globe, guiding organizations in building values-driven cultures and elevating service excellence.

​

Despite the success, the relentless pace and pressure led me to experience severe burnout—a turning point that awakened a deeper path. I turned to mindfulness, meditation, and plant medicine as tools for healing, clarity, and transformation. What began as personal healing became a professional calling.

​

Today, as a Certified Corporate Wellness Specialist, Transformation and Mindfulness Coach, and lifelong student of ancient traditions, I support entrepreneurs, executives, and organizations in cultivating mindful, human-centered cultures that foster resilience, connection, and purpose.

​

I specialize in:

​

• Designing career and leadership development programs

• Succession planning and talent strategy

• Facilitating mindset shifts that prevent burnout and fuel engagement

• Integrating mindfulness and plant-based insights into leadership and personal growth journeys​

 

My mission is to equip individuals and teams with the tools to move from stagnation to momentum, from overwhelm to peace, and from burnout to brilliance—all while staying rooted in authenticity and heart.

​

Let’s embark on your transformation together—and awaken the inner courage that’s always been within you.
