My business was birthed in 2004 after I moved back to the United States from New Zealand, having lived there for 12 years.

Although I had been helping people overcome obstacles to success for many years, I knew it was time for me to develop a small business that would reach way more people and provide opportunities for me to give people tools and support on a much larger scale.

My masters is in counseling and I was a family therapist for 20 years, however my business skills come from owning five businesses, including a pottery business, health food venture, a bicycle shop and a publishing company.

I shifted from a family therapy practice into professional development and facilitated leadership training and team building seminars for corporations, organizations and non-profits, translating all I learned from working with families into the business model.

I started working with small business owners in 1997, while still in New Zealand, and I realized that this was my passion, helping solo business owners to stretch and grow in business acumen and prosperity.

My strength is my ability to create processes and tools that make it easy for people to understand business and to overcome mental blocks and make permanent shifts from the inside out. I discovered that running a business is fun and creative.

I now live in Portland, Oregon with my husband. We are dual citizens and although my family roots are here in Oregon, New Zealand is my soul home.
