What is your business style?

My business style is always looking for a win-win-win. I am willing to try something new and see how it supports things, but I am also willing to stop it just as quickly.

Who is your role model?

I see myself somewhat like a Brené Brown or Betty White, in that I am always authentic and always striving to improve myself.

How do you impact your clients?

My clients say that the support we provide them in looking at the whole self, including body, mind, and spirit, helps give them the openness to find their true selves.

What are the hardest lessons you have learned as an entrepreneur?

You are not going to find perfection and trying to get to perfection is unrealistic. I have instead learned that when we fail, we win, because we find something we weren’t looking for. That insight gives us greater perspective and we end up finding something greater than what we sought out.

What is your fashion style?

I always pick out my outfit and jewelry the night before my next day. In addition, I feel naked without mascara.

What advice would you give to future Power Women?

Be yourself and be willing to lean in to the discomfort. If something is feeling off, it is because it is off—sometimes it is you.
