Who I Help:
I help high-achieving professionals, founders, creatives and women in tech navigate their most uncertain, difficult life moments and change: burnout, layoffs, relationship endings and the deep questioning of what comes next. My clients are often amazing leaders who have achieved everything they were "supposed to" but find themselves exhausted, disconnected, or facing a major life transition. I help them find the right rest and recovery, unleash their creativity and confidence to start a new chapter, and build a life and career that is finally, authentically theirs.

Training & Method:
My coaching blends career and business mentorship, psychology and IFS informed-coaching, foundations of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and intuitive insight so you get results in your work, life, and wellbeing.

I created The SageMethod™, a six-phase framework that bridges the gap between psychological resilience and physiological wellbeing after 250+ client sessions and my own lived experience.

Career & Business Mentorship:
- A decade in tech, product management and entrepreneurship.
- Coaching & Psychology: Brown University Certified Leadership & Performance Coach (ICF) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) informed practitioner.
- Integrative Health: Masters-level training in Traditional Chinese Medicine (Acupuncture and Herbs) at Yo San University, specializing in how the body responds to chronic stress, and the connection between mental health and physical well-being.
- Movement & Energy: Certified teacher in Yoga, Meditation, and Breathwork, along with advanced training in Qi Gong, Reiki, and Akashic Records.

My Story:
I spent 12+ years launching products used by millions at Meta, Shopify, and BetterUp. At Meta, I led Youth Wellbeing, Trust & Safety, and Virtual Reality (Oculus) initiatives. At Shopify, I led the global Google Advertising partnership. As a 3x founder, I bootstrapped a SaaS company to $1M ARR and launched a non-profit that has been helping students build professional skills and find work for 14 years. After working in Silicon Valley and product management I got an understanding of the physiological and psychological toll of chronic stress. I understand the demanding, and exciting "productivity treadmill" because I’ve been on it.

I’m drawn specifically to life and career transitions because I’ve had to start over many times, and largely on my own. I came to Canada as an immigrant from Eastern Europe, raised by a single mother who worked around the clock while we lived with seven people in a one-bedroom apartment. As the first in my family to go to university, I spent years reinventing my career from accounting, to entrepreneurship and product management, always following my curiosity and excitement. I’ve also gone through my share of health issues, injuries, and past memories - rebuilding my body, mind and spirit using Eastern Medicine.

I specialize in helping people who don't feel like they quite belong anywhere in the world and in the traditional system maybe because they moved around a lot, immigrated, or are too creative and misunderstood.
