What I do
The Truth About Success
Success is never just about money, titles, or how busy you look on paper. It’s about having a business and a life that actually feel aligned. Some people come to me because their business is stuck—they’re overwhelmed, underpaid, and running themselves into the ground. Others come to me because life itself feels off balance—they’ve lost their confidence, their clarity, or the spark that once drove them. Both struggles have the same root: you weren’t taught how to build success that works in real life. That’s where I come in.
For nearly two decades, I’ve been in the trenches. I’ve built one million-dollar business, and two earning six figures per year to date.. I’ve coached others into $40K months. I’ve also worked with people who weren’t business owners at all but wanted to get unstuck in their career, strengthen their relationships, reclaim their health, or simply start living on purpose again. No matter which side you’re on—business or personal—the mission is the same: helping you create freedom, clarity, and results that last.
What I offer isn’t feel-good pep talks or cookie-cutter advice. It’s a proven roadmap. I’ll tell you what works, what doesn’t, and I’ll hold you accountable to actually follow through. If you want hand-holding, I’m not your coach. But if you’re serious about building a life and business that thrive together, this is where things change.
What You’ll Get Working With Me
This isn’t a pre-recorded course or a group program where you’re lost in the crowd. This is personal, hands-on coaching with me every single week.
If you’re a business owner, we’ll focus on sales mastery, marketing that converts, streamlined systems, leadership, team building, and financial clarity. If you’re here for life and lifestyle coaching, we’ll focus on self-confidence, identity alignment, time management, relationships, boundaries, resilience, and building daily habits that actually move you forward. And if you need both—business and life—we’ll work to integrate them so one supports the other, instead of competing for your energy.
When you need it most, you’ll also have direct access to me for support—whether that’s before a major decision, during a personal challenge, or right before a high-stakes opportunity.
Why This Is Different
Most coaching programs treat business and life as if they’re separate. But you can’t scale a business if your life is falling apart, and you can’t build a fulfilling life if your career or business is draining you dry. My coaching bridges both. You’ll get one-on-one time with me every week, personalized strategies that apply directly to your goals, and the accountability to make sure you actually follow through.
The Results
By the time we’re done, you won’t just have a few insights—you’ll have tangible transformation. Business owners walk away with profitable systems, consistent clients, stronger teams, and the freedom to step out of the grind. Individuals walk away with renewed confidence, stronger relationships, healthier habits, and a clear direction for their future. And those who need both get the ultimate outcome: alignment, where your business and life finally work together to create freedom instead of chaos.
Your Next Step
This program is high-level, high-touch, and designed for people who are ready to stop spinning their wheels. Whether you want to scale your business or transform your personal life, the next step is simple. Apply today, and let’s see if we’re the right fit to work together.
No pressure. No gimmicks. Just an honest conversation to find out if you’re ready to do the work and claim the life you’ve been chasing.
The bottom line is this: if you want to keep struggling, keep doing what you’re doing. But if you’re ready to finally step into a life of clarity, confidence, freedom, and success—whether in business, in life, or both—then it’s time to work with me. The next move is yours.
About Me
For 18 years, I lived and breathed the dog training world. From obedience and service work to behavior modification, I built programs that changed lives—both for dogs and their people. But as much as I loved the training itself, running the business behind it came with its own set of battles: hiring the wrong people, wasting money on marketing that didn’t convert, sitting across from sales “experts” with cookie-cutter scripts, and coaches who promised big results but had no idea how to deliver in the real world. Every mistake cost me time, money, and energy—but it also taught me invaluable lessons.
Despite the struggles, I built a business that generated over a million dollars in revenue. I trained other professionals to not only master their craft but to create businesses hitting $40,000 months. Over time, my consulting grew beyond dog training and into other areas of the pet industry, helping boarding facilities, grooming salons, and walking services scale into real, profitable companies that provided stability and freedom.
But here’s the truth: somewhere along the way, I lost myself. I was so focused on building, scaling, and pushing forward that I ignored my own health, my personal relationships, and my sense of balance. I hit burnout hard—and on top of that, I faced a major illness that forced me to reevaluate everything I thought I knew about success. Money and growth alone weren’t enough. I had to ground myself again, rebuild my health, and reconnect with who I truly wanted to be.
That journey changed me as a coach and as a person. I realized that real success isn’t just about scaling a business or hitting income goals. It’s about creating a life that feels good to live—a life where your health, relationships, mindset, and purpose align with your goals. Without that alignment, growth will always feel hollow.
For the past five years, I’ve expanded my work beyond the pet industry into full-scale life, lifestyle, and business coaching. Today I work with entrepreneurs who want to scale smarter, professionals who want to break free from careers that drain them, and individuals who simply want to stop feeling stuck and start living with clarity, confidence, and balance.
My coaching is straightforward, no-fluff, and rooted in lived experience. I don’t hand out generic advice. I walk beside you as you create real systems, real strategies, and real change—whether that’s in your business, your health, your mindset, or your daily life.
Because success isn’t just about what you achieve. It’s about who you become along the way.
My mission is simple: to help people avoid the costly mistakes I made, find clarity in the middle of chaos, and finally create businesses and lives that feel as good as they look on paper.
