Are you feeling uninspired, disconnected and in search of "that very something?"
Like you're craving the space to connect to yourself and be re-inspired? Reconnected? And find the answers to that very thing?
And in the process connect deeper  to the heartbeat of your soul? 

I see you Sister Soul and I get it all too well.

Over a decade ago, I was there, in that exact place. 
A place where my dreams felt like they belonged to someone else and weren't meant for me in this lifetime. 
A place where my life constantly looked better than it actually felt. 
A place where I was merely existing, and not actually living. 
A place where I was fulfilling the should's of others expectations instead of listening to and connecting to the heartbeat of my very own soul. 

Oh, do I believe in divine timing! You've found your sacred, transformative container at the right time.
This is where our journey begins.

As a Courage Coach, I create a very sacred, safe, honest and transformative container where we connect deeply. We start by being honest on where you are in this moment, expand into connecting to the heartbeat of your soul, then creating a tangible, actionable and accountable roadmap to get there. All the while, reconnecting you to your confidence, reigniting your passion and honoring the courage that already lives within you. 

​Does this sound like you?

I genuinely embody a happy little slice of mountain-living, courageous-sharing, family-loving, women-supporting, truth-speaking, beautifully-chaotic, joyously-intentional expression of what it means to be living my truth as “Courage in Action!” 

As a Courage Coach, I am immensely dedicated to creating and holding a sacred, safe, honest and transformative container where I connect deeply with my clients.  This starts by being honest on where you are in this moment, expanding into connecting to the HEARTBEAT OF YOUR SOUL, then creating a tangible, actionable and accountable roadmap to get there. All the while, reconnecting YOU to their confidence, reigniting their passion and honoring the courage that already lives within you! 

As a Photographer, I transcribe the heartbeat of my clients souls in whichever expression at hand - an engagement, wedding, expansion of a family or new business into vibrantly candid and blissful photographs. 

As the Host of The Living Courageously Podcast, I create the space for women to get curious about Courage and Living Courageously. This platform oscillates between solo episodes where I share tangible resources, tools and rituals practiced in my own life to continuously live through a place of choosing courage over fear and building a life that feels better than it looks. And interviews of courageous women as they share their stories through the lens of Courage!

I genuinely embody a happy little slice of mountain-living, courageous-sharing, family-loving, women-supporting, truth-speaking, beautifully-chaotic, joyously-intentional expression of what it means to be living my dream life, every single day. 
​

I’ve spent the past decade realizing and living out, one dream after another. Teaching in Africa. Meeting, immigrating and marrying my South African husband. Becoming an entrepreneur. Surpassing my definition of success as a photographer. Giving birth to the most radiant little human. Buying my dream home in the mountains. Building a dream-filled, courageous and aligned life that feels far better than it looks.

Through centering, guided meditations, nurturing intuitive guidance and over a decade of personal transformation, I create sacred and honest containers for women to take their life to the next level -

​reconnecting you to the heartbeat of your soul, igniting your innate courage and confidence to make aligned decisions and ultimately building a life beyond your wildest dreams!  

I do this through : 1:1 coaching, The Living Courageously Blueprint (group coaching), 3-Hour Intensives, Connecting to your Soul in the Mountains (in person retreat). 

And through my podcast, The Living Courageously Podcast.

Because I am you. 

I went from just existing - moving through the should’s and supposed-to’s of life to fully living with courage, confidence and contentment. I’ve spent the past decade realizing and living out, one dream after another getting to a place of building my dream life. 

I truly believe that all of us belong so deeply and we deserve so fully. Acknowledging, honoring and realizing your deepest truth, aligned, courageous, dream-filled life too! The more you shine your light, you give others permission to do the same. The more you share YOU with this world, the more it gives another woman the courage to do the same. Ultimately uplifting and supporting ALL of us, women! 
​

As we connect to the heartbeat of our souls and create the space to honor the heartbeat of other women’s souls, we become divinely interconnected. What an inspiring place to live and be.
