“Rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.” - J.K. Rowling

​

 

Einstein said “the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” I spent many years of my life doing just that. I kept striving for perfection, only to fall into a downward spiral of stress, anxiety, exhaustion, and negative self-talk. I believed that if I did everything right, I’d eventually feel like I was enough. My type-A personality fed into that perfectionism, as I struggled to control every detail of my career and personal life.

 

Then, a string of tragedies taught me that control was merely an illusion. My first marriage ended in divorce, I lost my second husband to colon cancer, and Hurricane Sandy rendered me homeless. Life pulled the rug out from under me, and I fought to keep going under the weight of constant inner turmoil. I knew I had to find another way to live.

 

My natural grit allowed me to keep going in the face of hardship, but it was through meditation and yoga that I found grace for myself. I realized that I didn’t need to strive for perfection, and it was okay to give myself the time and space to just be. I reconnected with my higher power, trusting God to guide me through all life’s ups and downs and ins and outs of life. A sense of inner peace and self-awareness blossomed inside me.

​

I went on to earn my Master’s Degree in Human Services and built a rewarding career in higher education. But my heart’s desire was to share the gifts of meditation and yoga with others. In 2015, I became a certified Baptiste

yoga teacher. At the end of 2019, I completed my 200-hour Meditation & Mindfulness Teacher Training and

founded Grit and Grace Meditation.  In 2020, when we all were experiencing a pause in our life due to COVID,

I was called to explore and work with crystal alchemy bowls.  This is a new journey that I am following and love the beauty and the light that comes in working with them.  

 

My journey to living my best life and stepping into my greatness is ongoing. I am constantly learning new tools for personal growth, healing, and self-care, while keeping up-to-date on the latest research in these areas. I also practice what I preach every day so that my clients know my work is more than a source of income -- it’s my

soul's purpose!

 

When I’m not “soulpreneuring,” I enjoy spending time with my loving husband, Marc, who encourages me to follow my dreams every day, along with my three grown children and rescue dog, Quimby. I also love filling my cup with traveling, hiking, spending time with nature, enjoying sunny days at the beach, paddle boarding, chocolate,

and delicious lattes.
