For over six years, I’ve had the privilege of working with extraordinary leaders and organizations across the globe, including Endress & Hauser, DSG Digital, Bouwmaat, OIKOS International, AMC, and EPFL. These collaborations have deepened my belief that true leadership begins within, radiating outward to influence not only our professional environments but also our personal lives and communities.

My journey to becoming a leadership coach was far from conventional. It’s this unique path—rooted in challenges, growth, and transformation—that shapes the principles I bring to leaders today.

A Foundation Built in Healthcare

My leadership journey began not in boardrooms but on the frontlines of healthcare as a paramedic. In moments where every decision could mean life or death, I discovered that leadership is far more than strategic thinking—it’s about human connection. Whether calming a distressed patient or working cohesively with a team in crisis, I learned that empathy, presence, and connection form the true foundation of leadership.

These experiences have profoundly influenced my coaching approach. Leadership isn’t just about achieving results; it’s about fostering trust, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to the well-being of others. Leaders who connect authentically with their teams inspire loyalty, resilience, and collective purpose.

The Transformative Power of Self-Discovery

Transitioning from healthcare to leadership coaching revealed a profound truth: impactful leaders are those who embark on the journey of self-awareness. Leadership begins with understanding oneself—values, purpose, strengths, and vulnerabilities. This inner exploration isn’t a one-time task; it’s a lifelong transformation.

In my coaching practice, I guide leaders through this journey of self-discovery. Together, we explore the depths of their identity, helping them uncover clarity and authenticity. This process empowers them to lead with greater confidence, vision, and integrity, inspiring those around them to thrive.

Harnessing the Power of Nature

Nature has always been my sanctuary—a source of clarity, grounding, and renewal. It’s no coincidence that I pursued certifications as a Nature Guide and Qigong Master. These practices are not hobbies but integral to my coaching philosophy. Nature, with its inherent wisdom, reconnects us to life’s essence and reminds us of what truly matters.

In my coaching, I integrate nature-based practices to help leaders step away from the noise of daily demands. Whether it’s a reflective walk in the forest or breathwork exercises in the mountains, these methods provide a space for balance, perspective, and emotional resilience. By embracing nature, leaders reconnect with themselves and their environment, unlocking the clarity and calm required to lead in today’s fast-paced world.

Breathwork: Unlocking Leadership Potential

Breath is life, yet its transformative potential is often overlooked. As a certified Qigong Master and breathwork coach, I’ve witnessed firsthand how intentional breathing techniques unlock untapped layers of creativity, focus, and wisdom in leaders.

Breathwork is not just a tool for relaxation—it’s a powerful catalyst for growth and resilience. It equips leaders to remain composed under pressure, approach challenges with clarity, and access a deeper reservoir of creativity and problem-solving skills. These practices empower leaders to thrive amidst uncertainty and lead with confidence and presence.

Authentic Leadership for Lasting Impact

At Summit Solace, my mission is to help leaders uncover and embrace their authentic selves rather than conform to predefined molds. Each leader’s journey is unique, and my role is to guide them in aligning with their values and purpose. This self-awareness not only fuels professional success but also enriches personal fulfillment, deepens relationships, and creates a lasting impact.

Sustainable Leadership: Building a Legacy

True leadership isn’t measured by short-term achievements but by the legacy it leaves behind. My goal as a coach is to empower leaders to cultivate a sustainable, purpose-driven approach to leadership—one that inspires trust, nurtures growth, and creates meaningful change.

The leaders I work with aspire to more than success; they aim to make a profound impact and leave the world better than they found it.

This is my story—one that has taken me from the trenches of healthcare to the summit of leadership development. It’s a journey rooted in resilience, empathy, and transformation. I invite you to join me in exploring your own path, uncovering your full potential, and leading with authenticity, courage, and clarity. Together, we can build a legacy of leadership that truly matters
