Reclaim Clarity. Lead With Joy.
Leadership doesn’t have to cost you.
Sabbatical care and leadership wellness coaching for Black women leaders navigating burnout, pivots, and high-stakes leadership in multiple areas of their lives.

trust me, i’ve been there too.
What you need now is space and a strategic partner who understands the emotional weight and structural demands of the multiple roles you inhabit. Someone who celebrates your brilliance, acknowledges your 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. Together, we’ll design a rhythm of leadership that centers your wellness, sustains your impact, and and makes room to cultivate joy.
It’s time to set the burden down and return to what makes you, you.
Dedicated guidance before, during, and after your time away
