About Me
I’m on a mission to help people like me, who’ve perhaps had a sub-optimal experience overall in their first 30, 40 or 50 years on this planet, to understand and truly BELIEVE that they are not only entitled to feel joy, energy and eager anticipation of each day - but that it’s their birthright.

I am a Certified Primal Health Coach and a Certified Life Coach, as well as a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) and Certified General Accountant (CGA).
