About Me

I didn't grow up with much self-confidence. I was very shy and struggled with low self-esteem. I lacked the skills to build a social circle and definitely didn’t know how to advocate for myself. Because of this, I stuck with the same friends I'd always had, and when they moved away, I was left alone. I didn’t have the tools for personal development to start over, and I got stuck in a rut, staying too safe. I knew something needed to change.

Unable to decide between my top two options, I did something impulsive—I flipped a coin. It felt like a small moment, but in hindsight, it was a turning point. As soon as it landed, I committed. That very day, I enrolled in a one-year safari guiding course. The decision felt both terrifying and exhilarating, but for the first time in a long time, I was choosing growth over comfort. Six months later, I boarded a plane to Johannesburg, unsure of what to expect but certain that staying where I was no longer felt like an option.

Everything was fixed right? Well, not really. Even in the new country, and after all the growth, I found myself falling back into the same patterns. Especially in my relationship, I avoided conflict and didn’t advocate for myself. I followed the lead and stayed quiet because I thought that was the safest thing to do. And two continents and over a decade later, that’s the way I stayed. That was the pattern we chose.

When the relationship ended, I was finally forced to confront everything I’d been avoiding. I didn’t know how to speak up, express my needs, or set healthy boundaries. That’s when the real work began: learning to make space for myself in my own life. As I started to uncover these truths, I began noticing similar patterns in others—people living on autopilot, avoiding discomfort and conflict, and staying silent about what they truly wanted. That used to be me. I don’t believe anyone should have to go through this process alone. That’s why I do this work—to help people develop self-trust, improve their communication skills, and stop shrinking themselves to fit into lives that no longer serve them. You don’t have to stay stuck in the same story. I’m here to help you write a new one.
