The world needs helpers, just like you. But when your life gets stressful and overwhelming, where do you turn? You nurture others. You put your heart into your relationships and your work, but sometimes it starts to feel like it's too much. Like you're exhausted and unable to take some time for yourself.

With all the giving you do, I want you to know that it's ok to ask for a little bit back. It's not selfish or uncaring. Imagine life just a little less stressful. A life with freedom and energy to give, explore and thrive. I help people just like you create boundaries and find more balance.

Once you find more balance you will see that your natural tendency to help others is no longer draining. I am ready to help. Feel free to contact me.
