I started off in a creative field as an award winning furniture designer. I strayed from the creative path and ended up with a corporate job that I was good at, but had little interest in. It was an intense position and I was travelling 80% of the time. Due to stress, I gained 23lbs in two months. My personal relationships were in shambles. My work was completely unfulfilling. I couldn’t remember the last time I had done anything enjoyable, even though I was traveling to some pretty cool places. Although I was successful at my job, I felt like I had no control over anything and I felt like a fat slug.

When asked how things were going, my response was always: “My life sucks.”

When I hit rock bottom, I woke up one day knowing enough is enough. I was tired of feeling sorry for myself and complaining all the time. I thought,

Looking back, I find this a pretty funny thing to say to myself. However, it was a major turning point for me and set the course of my future. In my pursuit for a more richly designed life, the first thing I did was start making my health and fitness a priority, which lead to a mindset transformation.

Fitness had always been a part of my life and yet I couldn’t remember the last time I had worked out. I began my journey into nutrition and truly started to understand the impact of my food choices, both physically and mentally. Let’s be clear that vegetables, at that time, were not a part of my diet. As I gained back my body, my mind and will grew stronger. With that, everything else in my life started to fall into place.

I started to pursue things that I loved, but had put aside to live the life I felt I should be living versus the life I wanted to live.

The biggest gift back was creativity. As a designer and artist, I was downright scared that I had lost my ability to create. By strengthening my body and mind, I began to see that my creativity is always present and will to continue to develop and grow throughout my life.

I work with clients who are highly motivated individuals, such as Entrepreneurs, Athletes, and Creatives, who have found that during their pursuits they just got a little off track with the big picture. I help guide these clients through limiting beliefs, so they can unleash their fierce creativity. We work together to create a life that is balanced between their work, personal life, and health. I get them to a place where they feel fulfilled and empowered to be their best self.

Who doesn’t want to reply, when asked how things are going:

I bought my first motorcycle when I was 21 and lived in NYC. As a complete newbie, I took my freshly purchased, unreliable, vintage bike on her first ride where she promptly broke down on the Brooklyn Bridge. As I pushed the bike off the bridge followed by a long angry honking line of backed up New York City traffic, I quickly learned that riding is not for the faint of heart. Oddly, that event cemented a love affair with all aspects of riding. I learned how to tear down and rebuild an engine. I raced a Honda RS125 for several years in CCS and ARHMA. I founded and hosted a motorcycle night at Bar Matchless in Brooklyn, NY. I have always been a huge supporter of empowering women to get involved in motorcycling and racing. I also review bikes and gear as a contributor to various moto publications and social media platforms. 

You can find me on my podcast Féroce where I share the stories of people who ride to inspire you to live fiercely. Motorcycling has been a long-time passion of mine. It thrills me to share this sport and lifestyle with others.
