Empowering meditation teachers, coaches, creators & spiritual guides to make an authentic impact and meaningful income in the wellness & coaching industry. (And do it with integrity.)

I’ve learned some things along the way and intend to help you navigate your spiritual, creative, & entrepreneurial journey.
