As an EDUCATOR:
I embrace any opportunity to share my knowledge with others and do this through Keynote presentations and educational programs (to see where I have spoken visit here) that are based on my educational background. With each presentation or educational program I develop, I bring aspects of both western and eastern philosophies. My educational background consists of BSc Psychology, Life and Health Coaching certificates, Shamanic studies, Spirituality training, stress management and grief support, and neurodiversity training. Currently I am in my last semester of completing a Master of Science in Applied Positive Psychology Coaching Psychology (MAPPCP) and my research and thesis surrounds the female dyslexic and their social interactions.
I deliver inspirational talks for organizations, encouraging others to discover how to live their life with more purpose and meaning (to listen to these please click here). I accomplish this by combining science and creative exercises to teach individuals skills for better communication, confidence, and self-awareness.

Looking for a unique presentation or program for your organization?
All it takes is for you to share your needs and I can highlight how I can help.
I regularly support organizations with course development on emotional awareness, practices, knowledge around topics such as neurodiversity, grief support and how to increase staff well-being to increase productivity.
