Reclaim Clarity. Lead With Joy.

Leadership doesn’t have to cost you.

Sabbatical care and leadership wellness coaching for Black women navigating high-stakes leadership and pivots across multiple areas of their lives.

Whether you steward a multi-million-dollar budget, lead a mission-driven team, and/or care for loved ones, we help you reclaim clarity, restore energy, and lead with joy.

You’re not here because you need another quick fix that feeds the exhaustion.

You need space to breathe, to pause, to come home to yourself. There was time in my life when I needed that too.

You need someone who sees you - all facets of you - and understands the weight and structural demands on the multiple roles you inhabit. Someone who celebrates your brilliance, acknowledges your chronic burnout, and can support you in getting back to yourself.

I specialize in helping high-achieving Black women in senior leadership reclaim rest, reconnect with their purpose, and lead from a place of alignment—not depletion.

I will walk with you as we develop a leadership rhythm that brings you back to yourself—and helps you stay there.

It’s time to make room—for your wellness, your impact, and your joy.
