Planting seeds of consciousness
Anyone can wake up to their agency and ability to choose their life.
That’s the beauty and joy of this work: there is something so poignant and life-changing about recognizing that we create our reality. While the world certainly brings a lot of unpleasant surprises and pain, there is an equal if not greater abundance of awe, beauty, connection, play and possibility. Where your attention goes, your energy flows.
In my talks, retreats and workshops, I teach from experience and through storytelling. I bring together science, philosophy, behavioural psychology, spiritual practices and my own hard-won wisdom to inspire my clients and students to shift their way of being and their views of themselves and the world.
Everything I do focuses on turning the mirror from ego and self-focus to the bigger picture of service and possibility. Human beings are innately curious, creative and community-oriented. I help individuals and teams to reignite those qualities, creating ripples of possibility, connection and joy in their families, organizations and communities.

Keynote Speaking
My talks poke holes in our so-called “rational” way of operating, which tends to make our lives difficult and complicated. I share powerful and simple ways to shift into clarity, presence and joy through my stories of transformation (a.k.a. ego-shattering experiences where I had my proverbial ass handed to me). With a blend of humour, vulnerability and practical wisdom, my intention is always to delight, inform and plant seeds for transformation in my audiences.
Interactive Workshops
It is far easier to remember an experience than a lecture. I offer workshops to teams, at conferences and in retreats that help our participants to reclaim their agency, access creativity through play, and better understand how they get in the way of their own success. My favourite workshops help participants to become conscious leaders, claim their sovereignty, understand storytelling and how we create drama, and foster reconnection with self and nature through shapeshifting and somatic practices.
Retreat Facilitation
Depth and integration are two key ingredients in transformation. One of my greatest joys is bringing people together in life-changing retreats where they learn new concepts, face their own triggers and limiting beliefs, connect deeply with other participants, and emerge feeling rejuvenated, connected, sovereign and aware of their patterns and possibility. I run retreats through my leadership development company, Shine+ Leadership as well as for other organizations. Keep an eye on the Shine+ website for upcoming programs or reach out if you’re looking for support with a team offsite or transformational experience.
experiential learning
I partner with leaders and organizations hungry for sustainable, systemic change, helping you to foster lasting transformation and improvement for your community or team. Each individual who is part of a session leaves energized and empowered to take action, applying new ideas to their personal and professional life.
I provide practical tools with a philosophical base, and I incorporate the best, most current findings in leadership development research and consciousness practices. What I do is my passion. My background as an executive coach for founders, working in startups and VC, and bridging this with applied consciousness and shamanic practices, is what makes my talks, coaching and facilitation distinctive, impactful and transformative.
