My Story So Far...

My First Act:

As a child, I was terrified of piñatas and Halloween. Reading The Highly Sensitive Person by Elaine N. Aron helped me see my sensitivity as a gift, not a burden.

I joined the Goethe Institute to learn German, dreaming of becoming a translator. But my perfectionism made me doubt myself, and I gave up on that dream.

After high school, I lived in London, met my husband, and settled in Canada. The challenging transition led me to self-help books, sparking my passion for Positive Psychology and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I'm still amazed by the power of self-talk in shaping our lives.

As a multi-passionate creative, I didn't know what "I wanted to do when I grew up". I studied Political Science, not really knowing my why. I learned something we take for granted: how to breathe. The University of Toronto offered support for students suffering from anxiety. Learning diaphragmatic breathing sparked my interest in wellness.

I worked in Customer Service, managing key large corporate accounts, upholding my values of trust, excellence and authenticity. But the corporate world drained my energy and dimmed my light.

When my son was diagnosed with a developmental delay at 18 months, I discovered a new level of courage and determination. I spent a decade defying the diagnosis, and today, he's a thriving young man who teaches me gratitude.

I had a daughter who is the sun and the rainbow all rolled into one beautiful soul. I pursued further studies in the field of Human Resources and Career Development while also raising my kids. I faced my fear of public speaking and joined Toast Masters. I participated in a division Humorous Speech Contest and went on to win third place. Who knew?!??

My Second Act:

I returned to work, but misalignment with my values led to health warnings -sinus colds, headaches, insomnia. A serious health scare finally woke me up to reset and intentionally design my Second Act.

I left the comfort of a familiar job and reinvented myself as an Employment Specialist, helping countless clients who felt lost and stuck regain hope and confidence. I loved watching them leave my office with a renewed sense of purpose.

I followed my heart and earned a dual certification as a Holistic Wellness and Life Coach from the International Association of Wellness Professionals.

I launched Second ACT Reset to empower women to break free from limiting beliefs and reconnect with their true selves. Using personalized guidance and creative tools like collage, Second ACT Reset helps turn midlife into a period of growth and fulfillment aligned with their core values.

And now... I support women in their second act.

Are you feeling stuck, like the life you’re living doesn’t quite fit anymore? Do you find yourself wondering who you are beyond the roles you’ve been playing or yearning for something more fulfilling—but unsure where to start? Maybe you’ve hit a point where you realize you’ve been putting everyone else first, and now it’s time to focus on you. If any of this resonates, you’re not alone—and I’m here to help.

I understand how overwhelming it can be to navigate this transition—I’ve been there myself. That’s why I created Second ACT Reset, a space where women can find the guidance, tools, and encouragement they need to embrace reinvention with confidence.

You don’t have to face this journey alone. Together, we’ll turn that moment of realization into a powerful opportunity to rediscover who you are and design a second act that feels authentic, fulfilling, and entirely your own!
