At some point in our professional lives, many of us begin to feel a subtle shift. A quiet nudge. A question that bubbles up between the meetings, the milestones, and going through the motions:
Is this really it?
It’s not always loud. It’s not always urgent. But it’s often persistent—and deeply honest. That voice is often the beginning of transformation.
It’s what I finally listened to after years in a high-achieving corporate career that looked successful on paper but felt increasingly out of sync with who I was becoming. That decision—equal parts terrifying and freeing—led me to where I am now: doing work I love as a Certified Neuro-Transformational Coach (CNTC).
I’m often asked what being a CNTC means—not just the certification itself, but the kind of coaching it represents.
A Coaching Approach That Starts in the Brain
This approach is not about “fixing” anyone. It’s about understanding the whole person—how they’ve learned to respond to stress, how their nervous system operates under pressure, how their beliefs and behaviors are wired together—and then helping them consciously rewire what no longer serves them.
While the methodology is based in science, the work is deeply human. As a CNTC, I’ve been trained to integrate brain-based tools with transformational coaching techniques that go beneath the surface, guiding clients through real, identity-level change.*
Transformation Isn’t a Buzzword. It’s a Practice.
It’s easy to talk about transformation. It’s much harder—and much more meaningful—to live it.
Neuro-Transformational Coaching differs from traditional coaching in that it’s not just focused on setting goals or checking boxes. Instead, it invites a deeper, more integrated experience of growth.
You can absolutely be successful and show up as your truest self. That’s where the most powerful leadership lives.
Why This Work Is Personal—And Professional—for Me
Before becoming a coach, I spent more than 20 years working in high-growth startups, global enterprises, and Fortune 500 environments. I led teams, scaled strategies, and built trusted partnerships across complex ecosystems. I know what it’s like to navigate demanding roles, lead through ambiguity, and carry the weight of both personal ambition and professional responsibility.
And I also know what it feels like to achieve on paper—while quietly wondering if something essential is missing.
That lived experience is what drew me to this work. It’s also what makes my coaching uniquely resonant for professionals who want more than surface-level support. Because I’ve been in the rooms my clients sit in. I’ve made the trade-offs, managed the politics, and chased the metrics. I understand the language of leadership and the cost of misalignment.
When I combine that experience with my training and certification as a Certified Neuro-Transformational Coach, I bring both strategic insight and deep emotional intelligence to the table. My work is grounded in science—but it’s also shaped by decades of leading, learning, and growing inside the systems we’re now reimagining together.
Who Is This Work For?
I work with professionals across a wide range of industries and career stages—people who are high-capacity, trusted, and capable, but who are also carrying quiet questions like:
- What if I’m outgrowing the version of success I used to want?
- How much longer can I keep pushing at this pace?
- What if there’s more available to me—but I haven’t had the space to explore it?
- What would it mean to lead, live, and succeed as my fullest self?
A Final Thought
One of the most powerful things I’ve learned—both as a coach and as someone who’s been coached—is that sustainable growth doesn’t come from striving harder. It comes from returning to yourself.
And the moment you decide to do that? Everything begins to shift.
If any part of this resonated and you’re considering what’s next, I’d be glad to connect.
