Why You Should
Work With Me
✔ I'm a trained therapist who can support you through navigating the difficulties of your unique business transition.
✔ I've been a career and business coach for over a decade and have worked with hundreds of clients in my private practice alone. I promise I'll be real with you about the risks and rewards of executing decisions based on your new self-awareness and business research.
✔ I'm INTUITIVE as heck and I know what to say and just how to say it to support you in weighing options and evaluating decisions.
In 2012, I found myself at a career crossroads. Despite my background in career development, I had launched two uninspiring businesses, and my nonprofit job had lost its grant funding.
Assessments reiterated what I already knew, and while business trainings taught fundamentals, they lacked the capacity to guide my direction.
I embarked on the journey of discovering my life's purpose and next steps by participating in career workshops and psychology trainings.
During one of these workshops, I confronted my experience of being bullied as a child and I found that the blueprint for designing a fulfilling career that would guide the right business venture had been inside of me all along, hiding in my childhood memories. These memories became the catalyst for transforming my pain into a driving purpose.
The experience of being bullied sparked a deep desire for connection and belonging within me. This longing has shaped my career path, where I thrive in fostering profound connections for individuals to discover themselves and find belonging through their business.
I left my nonprofit job to start Inner Compass Coach in 2014 and have helped hundreds of clients find career or business fulfillment by exploring their childhood memories.
Childhood serves as a profound guide, revealing what energizes us, what holds us back, and what brings us fulfillment. These insights act as a compass, aiding in making aligned decisions — from choosing the right profitable business to effectively operating within it.
My hope for you, through working with Inner Compass Coach and exploring your childhood memories, is to have a transformative experience that will guide you toward starting the right business or realigning your current one.

- Who do you typically work with? I specialize in partnering with introspective, action-oriented, aspiring entrepreneurs wrestling with the challenge of launching their ideas. Additionally, I work with established business owners who find themselves at a standstill and are eager to introduce a more aligned product or service to the world. These clients are open to engaging in diverse activities such as play, introspection, proactive networking, and experimenting with ideas on beta clients—all geared towards a successful business or offerings (re)launch.
- What does the coaching process entail? The process of launching your business from the idea stage to its public debut typically spans three months. Upon enrolling in the coaching program, you gain access to a rich array of comprehensive course materials. These resources provide the flexibility for you to progress through the program at your own pace. The materials consist of a mix of reflective and interactive exercises, guiding you through the initial stages of establishing the foundations for your business. This includes testing your ideas to ensure market viability and navigating the essential steps to organize a launch party, effectively introducing your venture to the world.
- Do you assist in launching brick-and-mortar, franchise, or tech companies? No, my specialization is in providing support for service-based businesses, such as coaches, therapists, consultants, fitness instructors, real estate agents, financial planners, and more. If you require assistance with launching a different type of business, please feel free to reach out, and I'll gladly guide you toward the appropriate resources.
- If I aim to launch my business direction within three months, how much time per day is needed? I recommend dedicating 1-3 hours per day to the process. I have a video that will guide you, and through our personalized coaching sessions, I'll assist you in effectively managing your time while balancing the demands of your full-time job and familial responsibilities.
- What if I only want help with one aspect of the launch such as development my signature system or realigning my products or services? No problem. We can concentrate on what matters most to you and formulate a tailored plan based on your specific goals.
- What are your coaching fees? I have a materials fee of $125 and I charge $225 per 60-minute session. The average client works with me for about six 60-minute sessions.
- Do you provide refunds? No, refunds are not offered. However, you have the flexibility to discontinue services at any point.
- Do you offer a sliding scale for fees? No, I strongly believe in empowering clients to recognize their true worth and charge accordingly in their business. I firmly believe that paying for value helps you feel comfortable charging your value. However, if you require a payment plan, I’m happy to discuss that with you.
- Can you point me in the direction of lower-cost services? Yes, you can contact your local SBDC, SBA, or Score. While many of these services provide guidance on the fundamentals, they may fall short in assisting with the challenge of identifying your unique identity and implementing strategies that are tailored specifically to you.
