My Story

My early career taught me a lesson I now share with corporate leaders: achievement without wellbeing is unsustainable. Back then, I was teaching 30 classes a week, managing programs, and co-running a studio—on paper, successful, but in reality, I was exhausted and burned out. 

That period was a wake-up call: I realized that the way we work, lead, and measure business success often comes at the expense of our well-being.

That lesson set me on a new path—one that’s taken me across international stages for more than 20 years, speaking about wellness and sustainable success. Along the way, I’ve worked with companies, organizations, and leaders who felt stretched too thin, showing them how to move from overwhelm to organized. I discovered that my true passion isn’t just sharing the science of wellness—it’s helping people and businesses put it into practice so they can thrive without burning out.

Today, that’s exactly what I bring to organizations as a keynote speaker. I help corporate leaders leverage science-based solutions around happiness, resilience, and mental wellness to retain top talent, reduce burnout, and create environments where people want to stay and grow. My journey from overworked instructor to international speaker has shown me firsthand: success doesn’t come from doing more—it comes from creating systems, habits, and cultures that support people’s wellbeing.
