  I mentor women who want to ditch the toxic “hustle & grind” culture and build a business that allows them prioritize their time, slow down their lives, generate recurring revenue income, work on their health & wellness, live a flexible lifestyle, and work from anywhere as long as they have access to wifi.I use my experience of building and developing two successful business brands to coach women who are passionate about wellness and serious about creating an online business that generates income.
