Support for the Journey

My own path to this work was anything but linear. I was raised by two profoundly creative, multifaceted parents—a physicist-geologist-fly-fisherman-furniture-maker-system architect father and a painter-printmaker-designer-multimedia artist mother. They taught me early that a life is meant to unfold in many dimensions. Their influence shaped everything: my curiosity, my adaptability, my reverence for both the artistic and the analytical, the mystical and the practical. I have completed and still consistently expand my studies in art, anthropology, behavioral science, human development, and educational approaches. My careerh has been a journey through the fields of medical anthropology, tech, early AI development, business development, design, education, service and social work. Every step revealed something about people—how they learn, how they heal, how they adapt, and how they collapse and rebuild in moments of profound change. 

I learned how often we are pressured to squeeze our multidimensional selves into a single, tidy box—especially after trauma or transition. After 16 years running a multi a self built 7 figure  design-and-organizing company, the pandemic offered a moment of reckoning: reinvest in a business that no longer fed my soul, or answer the deeper calling I had been building through post graduate education and as a facilitator and as a Self Esteem Program Designer for Trafficked Youth.  I chose the call. Over the last several years, I developed the coaching frameworks, shadow work modules, self-esteem development programs, and curriculum-building processes that now form the core of Flying Horse Coaching.
