my story
For more than a decade, I built a life that looked “perfect” on paper, dedicated to achieving each next milestone.
I was a big law attorney in Chicago, with a shiny office overlooking the river at the highest-grossing law firm in the world. It was everything I had worked so hard for and thought I had wanted.
Yet a quiet question kept surfacing:
Is this really it?
I was exhausted, constantly stressed, and my life revolved around my career. The first thing I did every morning was check my email, often jumping straight out of bed and onto my laptop. I stayed up late into the night, only to do it all over again.
It wasn’t until the heartbreak of realizing I needed to end my first marriage that I finally had to face what I had been ignoring.
Yes, I was a great lawyer. But was I happy?
For the first time, I allowed myself to truly hear the answer.
So I left.
I put everything I owned into storage and solo traveled with my dog, with no plan other than to re-center my life around my joy and freedom. I jumped out of a plane and found my confidence again at 10,000 feet. I met my inner child on a cliffside and allowed myself to fully step into my spirituality. I found laughter, friendship, and ease in France.
Along the way, I began the journey of the deep inner work.
I healed old patterns.
I rewrote self-limiting beliefs.
I nurtured parts of myself I had tucked away for years.
Little by little, I returned to myself and my own knowing.
Now, I support women who feel that same call toward something more.
Women whose old lives no longer fit.
Women who feel themselves awakening, realigning, and being guided toward lives rooted in fulfillment, ease, and authenticity.
The River
The Returning River is rooted in the belief that we all carry an inner current.
An intuitive knowing that gently guides us toward what feels true and aligned.
It’s the nudge that says something isn’t working anymore.
The pull toward a life that feels more intentional.
The quiet call to return to yourself.
My work is about helping you listen to that current, trust it, and move with it, so you can live a life that feels grounded, fulfilling, and truly your own.
my work
I walk beside women who feel the call toward something more aligned, yet find themselves overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected.
Women who sense that something in their life is asking to change.
Their work.
Their relationships.
How they spend their time.
What truly matters.
At the heart of my work is my natural ability to see beneath the surface.
As a guide, I intuitively recognize the patterns, blocks, and deeper energies shaping your experiences. I not only see what is present, but help gently move and shift what feels heavy, stuck, or overwhelming.
Through energy work, perspective shifts, and grounding practices, I support you in turning confusion into clarity and reconnecting you with a steadier, lighter way of being.
This is not surface-level coaching or a one-size-fits-all approach. It’s not a “fix all” or arriving at a perfectly “healed” version of yourself.
This work is about returning you to yourself: reconnecting with your intuition, autonomy, and inner knowing, so you can move through life with more clarity, trust, and intention.
If you’re feeling the pull toward something different, something more aligned, begin with an Alignment Call.
