My Experience
I am a dedicated professional with a strong foundation in holistic care, strengths-based practice, and the person-in-environment perspective. With years of experience in consulting, coaching, and public speaking, I’ve worked with individuals, communities, and organizations to support growth, healing, and meaningful change. My approach blends evidence-based strategies with a deep respect for lived experience, always aiming to empower others with the tools and insight they need to thrive.
Through my work with WellBeing by Design KC LLC, I offer a range of services—including workshops, digital resources, and one-on-one support—centered on the connection between mind, body, and spirit. I bring energy, empathy, and clarity to every setting I work in, whether I'm leading a training, consulting with a team, or supporting someone on their personal wellness journey.
Special Skills
Public Speaking
I am an experienced public speaker and wellness professional with a strong background in delivering impactful presentations and trainings on topics including mindfulness, leadership, workplace sexual harassment, post-crisis debriefing, burnout, and stress management. My work is grounded in a holistic understanding of wellbeing, integrating the person-in-environment perspective and a strengths-based approach to support individuals and organizations in creating healthier, more resilient environments.
With a natural ability to connect with diverse audiences, I bring clarity, compassion, and practical tools to each speaking engagement—whether addressing a small team or a large conference. My goal is always to foster awareness, encourage reflection, and inspire sustainable action. Drawing from both lived experience and professional training, I create space for meaningful conversations that support growth, healing, and long-term wellbeing in both personal and professional settings.
Trainings and Courses
I am a full time social worker and facilitator with extensive experience teaching classes focused on mindfulness, emotional regulation, and practical skill-building for personal and professional growth. My teaching style is grounded, accessible, and rooted in evidence-based practices, with an emphasis on creating supportive spaces where participants feel empowered to explore, learn, and apply new strategies to their daily lives.
Drawing from a strengths-based framework and a person-in-environment perspective, I design and deliver content that helps individuals build resilience, improve focus, manage stress, and strengthen their interpersonal skills. Whether working with small groups or larger organizations, I bring clarity, warmth, and a deep commitment to helping people connect more fully with themselves and others.
