If you’re a high-achieving woman balancing career, family, and personal growth while feeling overwhelmed, you’re in the right place.
I know STEM* careers are demanding. I’ve lived it, navigated it, and found ways to thrive despite the pressure.
Now, I help women like you use creativity to build resilience, lower stress, and create more balance.
*Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics
STEM careers come with intense demands — tight deadlines, high-stakes decisions, and often navigating male-dominated environments. Add in the mental load of personal responsibilities, and it’s no wonder stress feels overwhelming.
Through my coaching, you’ll learn to transform these challenges into opportunities for growth using practical, creative tools that fit seamlessly into your busy life.
Scientific Insights:
My STEM background ensures every strategy is evidence-based, from mindfulness techniques to creative exercises designed for real results.
Creative Expression:
Art therapy and journaling aren’t just creative outlets — they’re practical tools for managing stress, processing emotions, and cultivating balance.
Empathy and Experience:
I’ve been where you are. My coaching offers a supportive, judgment-free space to explore your unique challenges and goals.
WOMEN IN STEM DESERVE MORE THAN A LIFE OF STRESS AND OVERWHELM.
I’ve been there — pushing through long hours, trying to keep up, and feeling like there’s never a moment to breathe. Turning to creativity helped me feel like myself again, and now I help other women in STEM do the same.
Through my coaching, I’ve worked with countless women in STEM to help them find balance, manage stress, and thrive without sacrificing their ambitions.
You’re talented, driven, and capable — but navigating high-stakes environments, managing constant deadlines, and balancing personal responsibilities can lead to burnout.
AS SEEN IN:
I started my career in STEM, driven by curiosity and a love of discovery. I thrived on solving complex problems but felt stretched too thin.
Like many women in STEM, I thought stress was just part of the job. I tried time management, meditation apps, and working harder. Nothing helped.
What started as a hobby became a lifeline. Creativity helped me slow down, reset, and approach challenges with more clarity and calm. It didn’t just relieve stress. It reignited my passion and focus.
Now, I combine my scientific background and artistic passion to help other women in STEM do the same.
As someone who’s been in the trenches of STEM, I want to start by saying I’m not here to pretend I’ve mastered everything. Like you, I’m always learning, growing, and navigating the challenges that come with balancing ambition and well-being. We’re all works in progress, and that’s part of what makes this journey worthwhile.
These aren’t just buzzwords for me — they’re values I live and work by. My goal is to support you in creating a career and life where you can thrive without sacrificing what matters most. Let’s figure it out together.
Here are my values that guide every coaching session, resource, and program I create:
Creativity: Using fresh ideas to solve challenges and build confidence.
Authenticity: Staying true to yourself while letting go of perfectionism.
Balance: Aligning your routines with your goals and values.
Wellness: Prioritizing your mental and emotional health.
Growth: Turning challenges into opportunities for resilience.
LET’S GET PERSONAL
I've worked in all kinds of STEM environments — academic, not-for-profit, federal government, and private industry.
I could tell you about kayaking through Nuchatlitz Provincial Park or trail running with my Aussiedoodle, Beau, but what matters most is how these moments shape my coaching.
They reflect my belief in staying grounded, embracing challenges, and creating balance.
Coaching with me is about more than strategies — it’s about building a life where you can thrive without sacrificing what truly matters.
