WELCOME

If I were you, here’s what I would want to know about me.

My background is diverse, eclectic and non-linear. I’ve worked in corporate America, been trained as a yoga teacher and yoga therapist, and gained certifications in the science of happiness and well-being.

Full Circle combines all of my experience in a way that’s unique in the space of team dynamics.

I spent 25+ years in the biotech/pharma industry in a variety of sales and marketing roles, climbing the corporate ladder to the hefty title of Vice President. This career path, plus my inherent love of biology and science, has instilled a very strong scientific and logical streak in me.

In 2014, I was set free from that career by a ‘reduction in force’ ...aka I was laid off.

I say ‘set free’ because it released me from a constrained way of being and thinking and allowed me to follow my passion of helping others be happier.

There is another side of me that is relevant here, I am intrigued by all things yogic-related. I am a certified yoga teacher and yoga therapist. I teach yoga. I meditate. I practice gratitude journaling. I believe there is something bigger than me, but I am still responsible for making my life what I want it to be.

Additionally, I am fascinated by the science of happiness and wellbeing and the study of positive psychology. These areas of research demonstrate the power we each have to transform our mindset, improve our overall well-being and be happier and more content, at home and at work.

These sciences link my yoga and corporate backgrounds, ‘proving’ that the yogic principles and concepts I believe in actually help you thrive in a corporate environment. My certifications in these areas also allow me to meld eastern concepts with western logic in an approach that is easily accessible and allows you to unlock your individual and team’s potential. 


How I work

I am by no means airy fairy or hippy dippy, and I don’t expect my clients to adopt my way of thinking or living.

I do expect to work hand-in-hand with clients to customize my approach to address their unique needs and situation. I believe my eclectic background strengthens my ability to help you and your team work happier and more enjoyably, to be more productive, collaborative and solution-focused and to intentionally create the lives that you want to live.
