I am an alchemist whose mission, in a word, is transformation…and in a sentence is to guide those called through awakening to their True Selves.

I apply an array of “tools” available to me in assisting your evolution, expansion and emergence. I thereby support you to create greater personal meaning and live in harmony with the Earth and each other.

When not out on the land in my van, I make my homebase in Portland, OR with Isabella and Corrida, my two rescued Portuguese Podengo Pequenos.

THE PAST

Raised in Delaware, the second smallest of the United States, I grew up with dreams of becoming a doctor. I enjoyed a diverse work history including time spent as a sports biomechanist for Converse where I developed the first true women’s running shoe last (the form used to construct shoes on that most affects the fit of a shoe); a brand marketing executive (aka: brand alchemist) transforming and growing several successful women’s brands including Keds, Walmart and Ryka, as its President.

And as the Women's Global Business Director at Nike I led NIKE’s move from #3 to the top women’s athletic brand in the world while making NIKE "a more profitable and caring company” as noted by Judy Rosener in her book America’s Competitive Secret.

I left the executive suite for good years ago and founded 5 Stepping Stones, a company and a path for discovering one’s True self and right work. Complementing experience I gained as a business executive, I earned an MS in Biomechanics (Northeastern University), an MLA in Creation Spirituality (Naropa University) and a certificate in Interfaith Spiritual Direction (The Chaplaincy Institute Interfaith Seminary).

I am at once deeply connected to the Earth and the cosmos as I follow my path with a gracious open heart. South American Quechuan; Taino; Mayan/Nagual; American Indian and indigenous sacred plant medicine traditions and initiations; the Red Road and sound/vibrational attunements coalesce to inform who I AM and how I Serve which evolves continually.
