Who I work with & What I do
I work with business owners, entrepreneurs, and corporate leaders who are ready to level up their leadership, become more confident in their approach, and design a more sustainable way of living and leading.
My approach goes beyond surface-level leadership tactics by addressing the deeper patterns that are holding you back and leading to burnout.
Is this you?
You’ve built a successful career — but lately, it feels like everything’s on your shoulders.
You’re spread thin, second-guessing yourself, and wondering if you’re really cut out for this. You care deeply about your team, your work, your impact… but it’s starting to feel unsustainable. You’re trying to hold it all together — while quietly wondering if you’re doing it right.
You’re not alone. Many of my clients feel this way: high-achieving, heart-centered humans who never got the handbook for how to lead with clarity, confidence, and compassion. They’re navigating transitions, a chaotic world, and a nagging sense that something needs to change.
You don’t want to blow up your life — you just want to lead in a way that feels better. More ease. More self-trust. More alignment with who you’re becoming.
If you’re Ready to:
Increase your confidence
Define your unique leadership style
Manage your time and energy with intention
Break free from patterns that are holding you back
And build a thriving business or team that reflects your values
I would love to work with you.
As your coach, I’ll be your partner in reaching your professional goals while cultivating more ease and authenticity in your life. Our sessions give you dedicated space to slow down, gain perspective, and lead with greater intention.
Together, we’ll refine your vision, deepen your self-awareness, and strengthen the leadership skills that help you show up with clarity, confidence, and impact.
My Approach
What is holistic leadership coaching?
Holistic Leadership Coaching is a transformative approach to leadership development that integrates both life and wellness coaching. My approach goes beyond traditional leadership coaching by addressing not just strategies and skills but also your inner landscape —your energy, mindset, and connection to a greater purpose.
Holistic Leadership Coaching Principles:
Sustainable Leadership – Leading in a way that nurtures both individual and collective well-being, ensuring long-term resilience rather than burnout.
Spiritual Fortitude – Cultivating deep self-awareness, emotional regulation, and a sense of meaning that fuels purpose-driven leadership.
Embodied Presence – Helping leaders show up with authenticity, clarity, and confidence by aligning their actions with their core values.
Relational Intelligence – Coaching leaders to create psychologically safe environments that foster trust, belonging, and collaboration.
Systems Awareness – Encouraging leaders to see beyond immediate challenges, designing workplaces that honor human and organizational sustainability.
This approach recognizes that leadership is not just about managing tasks or people—it’s about stewarding energy, relationships, and culture in a way that supports both human flourishing and business success.
About me
With two decades of experience in health, wellness, and leadership development, I specialize in behavior change, executive coaching, program design, and human-centered leadership. My expertise spans digital health coaching, chronic disease management, and transformative leadership, equipping me with a deep understanding of how to create sustainable change—both at the individual and organizational levels.
I hold a Master’s in Integrative Health from the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) in San Francisco and was among the first Nationally Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coaches in the country. My additional training includes motivational interviewing, mindfulness, transformative leadership, and Vedic studies, and I am a Co-Active trained coach as well as adjunct faculty at CIIS.
I spent over a decade in high-growth healthcare startups, leading teams and designing innovative programs to close critical gaps in care. At One Medical, a national primary care organization, I founded and scaled the Care Navigation and Health Coaching programs, building standards, protocols, and training frameworks that empowered my teams to serve thousands of patients over 15 years. I also led program design, operations, and clinical integration. In 2021, I designed and launched an internal coach training program, which earned accreditation from the National Board of Health and Wellness Coaches. One Medical went public in 2020 and was acquired by Amazon in 2023.
Today, I am the co-founder of Noria, a learning and development business that helps leaders build healthy, high-performing teams — without burning out. We offer bespoke solutions to individual leaders and organizations looking to level up their leadership to improve engagement, resilience, and retention.
As a mother of three young children, I’m especially passionate about helping women leaders thrive—guiding them to build a life and career that truly fulfills and sustains them.
I live year-round on Nantucket, an island 30 miles out to sea, where I enjoy the amazing beaches in the summer, cozy and isolated winters, and the jubilation of gardening in the spring.
I bring a unique blend of evidence-based training, leadership experience, and deep personal insight to my coaching and consulting, helping leaders cultivate clarity, confidence, and a leadership style rooted in both strength and sustainability. I look forward to connecting with you!
