Carrying the weight of everyone else’s needs, always showing up for others, even when you’re running on empty. You’ve been told you’re strong and resilient—and you are—but that doesn’t mean you should bear it all.

What about your joy? Your laughter? Your crown?

You deserve to rest. To reclaim your happiness. To live a life that honors you.
It’s time to set those heavy bags down and make space for your own needs, your own dreams, and your own well-being.

You don’t have to do it alone. I can support you.

Personal growth

Hey Queen,

I see you.

I can see you in the valley...

I know that many of you are..

Grieving
You are reeling from the death of a loved one, end of a relationship or other losses but so busy being strong for others that you neglect your own pain.
Exhausted
You are emotionally depleted and sick and tired of feeling weary and burdened with life challenges.
Navigating Microagressions
Workplace bias and intersectional discrimination have left you feeling diminished, without confidence and questioning your self-worth.
Feeling Stuck
Anxiety about aging and empty nest blues have you wondering about your purpose and feeling uncertain about next steps.

Here's the truth

The valley is no place for Queens to dwell.

Languishing there can diminish your mental, emotional, and physical health.

I am no stranger to being in an emotional valley.

When I lost my son to stillbirth after carrying him full term, my grief was so deep that I thought I would perish.
 

Writing became my emotional lifeline. By pouring my pain from my pen into my journal I found stabilizing comfort and a cathartic outlet to help myself heal.

I later wove other creative and spiritual practices into my self-care regimen to maintain my mental health and well-being.

 

As I played a supporting role in my own recovery, I wanted to help others do the same. Gratefully, I have spent nearly two decades providing writing and coaching services for a diverse mix of clients - including introverted artists, the formerly incarcerated, survivors of domestic abuse, and the caste-oppressed Dalit community from India. I am excited to continue my practice with a specific focus on providing healing support for Black women through my new coaching series called "Rebirthing Royalty: A Path to Wellness for Reigning Queens."
