Helping You See the Patterns That Keep You (Or Your Teams) Stuck

The Starting Point

I'm a happy, smart student. Interested in personal growth, success, and people, I learned everything I came across that would help me teach and help others.

A B.A. in Education. A M.A. in Theater. Self-Help. Achievement Steps. Then ancient wisdom teachings, mindset and manifestation...

...if it spoke of self-development and catered to the edge crowd who don't just wake up every day, knock things off their to-do list, and stay structured (how do they DO that?).... I devoured it.

But no matter how much I learned, understood, and even applied, I was still circling around day after day feeling less-than. I wasn't getting the results I was working so hard for.

I started to think there was something wrong with me.

The Missing Link

That's when I started pulling back and looking at the bigger picture: the web we live in relationally and even energetically, the connection between things, the patterns running beneath our awareness. Not just from a spiritual lens or a personal growth lens but from a systems theory lens.

That lens helped me see the invisible patterns that were running my life.

This was the missing link I'd been searching for.

So I did what I do best: I learned it well enough to teach it.

I tested it on myself, on others (with their permission, of course), operationalized it, and then with those hard miles trod I was able to map it and replicate the process for other people.

I made the process workable for real people living real lives, no matter what their core issue was.

I combined everything I'd learned—25+ years of shamanic wisdom, decades of manifestation work, family systems theory, my corporate project management brain, even my 25 years of professional improv training.

The Unlocking Method™ was born.

What Makes Me Different

I'm a pattern detective. That's my superpower.

I have always seen the invisible currents in life. "Psychic" they used to say in the 80's and 90's, but I say it's intuition along with a keen emotional fluency.

But I'm not just spiritually curious. I spent years managing multi-million-dollar software projects, co-owning businesses, helping startups move through chaos. I know how to take complex systems and make them workable. Come to find out everything is a complex system, including our reactions, our limitations, and our relationship landscape.

Now I combine spiritual depth with business wisdom, pattern knowledge, and a keen sense of internal direction.

The work I do yields some obvious, immediate results but the underlying change is not a quick fix. (Even those of us in the Start-Up Businesses know there is no total quick fix.) But if you dig in and apply this work, you will unlock an ability to see more clearly, take more defined action, and get better results that do last.

Helping those who are ready is now my life's work.
