💫 Corporate Healing: Wellness & Energy Optimization
⚡️ Stress Rescue Workshops for High-Performing Teams

I'm an Energy Coach who helps teams transform their stress into sustainable success! As a certified Healer & Teacher with the Modern Mystery School, I bring practical energy work into the workplace - helping teams release burnout, re-energize, and show up with more to give at work (and home!).

Through in-person Stress Rescue workshops & guided meditations across the GTA, I curate experiences that help professionals manage pressure, reset their nervous systems, and build resilience from the inside out. When energy is blocked, productivity drops. When energy flows, clarity and creativity return. This is about human performance - albeit at a deeper level than most are used to.

My sessions are designed for forward-thinking companies who value both well-being & results - those who understand that aligned, centered employees perform better, collaborate deeper, and sustain success longer!

If you’re a leader interested in bringing a Stress Rescue session or a team meditation experience to your workplace, please message me directly to explore opportunities and to learn about my pricing!

✨ Based in Toronto | Available for in-person engagements across the GTA

Sales Associate

Corporate Healer | 3x Sales Club 🏆 | $2M in Partner-Sourced ARR | Channel Partner Leader | High-Performance Partnerships & People-First Growth

Seven years ago, I stepped into the world of SaaS with one goal: help tech companies grow smarter, not just harder.

Since then, I’ve built & scaled dozens of B2B Partnerships generating millions in ARR by developing relationships that last. At Vena (high-growth, FinTech firm), I’ve signed, coached and enabled dozens of Partner organizations - from boutique consultancies to large VARs - helping them accelerate revenue, strengthen delivery & build repeatable GTM systems. 

Along the way, I’ve earned 3x Sales Club awards & led multiple Partners to grow from $0 → $150K+ ARR in under a year. My approach blends strategy with empathy: understanding what drives people, what's slowing them down & creating plans that help both sides win.

The way I approach work is unique - I'm not just tracking metrics. I'm connected into energy & how it shows up in the workplace: how you show up determines how you perform! I've demonstrated that learning how to maximize your energy translates into real-world success. I offer B2B sessions for firms in the GTA who want their teams to understand these principles for success with my Stress Rescue workshop!

Building my business, Corporate Healing: Wellness & Energy Optimization, has given me an unconventional advantage in the workplace. I know how to help myself, my teams & my Partners move past burnout, resistance, and misalignment so we can operate from clarity + momentum (all too essential in this day & age!).

On LinkedIn, I share personal stories, insights, and practical tools on energy management, designed to help high-performing professionals reconnect with themselves, recalibrate their energy & develop their energetic edge for both work and life. Why? Because even the BEST strategy in the world will NOT work if your energy is neglected!

Whether I’m co-creating GTM strategies, enabling a new Partner, or facilitating a Stress Rescue workshop for a team of high-performers, my mission stays the same: build thriving ecosystems (human & business) that grow with integrity, clarity, and purpose!

Real success doesn’t come from pushing harder. It comes from internal alignment - the kind that fuels sustainable growth & helps you shine in the workplace ⚡️
