A little more about me.
I’ve always been drawn to what lies beneath the surface.
I grew up in New Jersey with a strong curiosity about the world. At 18, that took me to SMU in Dallas, where I studied business and psychology. Business was the practical path I had been conditioned toward. Psychology was the subject I couldn’t stop wanting to understand.
That combination led naturally into me exploring qualitative market research when I returned to the New York City area.
For the first several years of my career, I traveled across the world helping companies understand their customers more deeply. Much of my work centered on listening, observing and identifying patterns across what people said, what they did and what they couldn’t quite articulate.
I translated business questions into research, then research into strategy through focus groups, ethnography, shopper labs and projects spanning consumer packaged goods, retail, technology, financial services, healthcare, hospitality, luxury and more.
As my career grew, so did the scope of the work. I became a VP and business leader, moving further into strategy, consulting, sales, workshops and thought leadership. I helped grow global businesses and launch international offices, eventually working across more than 40 countries and leading a global team of over 40 people.
I learned to look past the obvious, find the thread and turn what I saw into something useful.
Eventually, my work moved deeper into behavioral science.
I launched the U.S. division of a boutique behavioral science consultancy headquartered in Paris, where I worked with the United Nations, the IMF, McDonald’s, Chanel, PepsiCo and J&J.
My work expanded from understanding what people thought and felt to understanding the invisible forces shaping what they actually did.
I completed executive programs through Harvard and Yale, trained as a coach through CTI and co-hosted the B.E. Good! podcast, where I interviewed thought leaders including Dan Ariely and Wendy Wood.
It sharpened something that had always come naturally to me: seeing patterns, connecting dots, finding the problem and turning insight into practical solutions
The questions turned inward.
My spiritual awakening began ahead of my 40th birthday, when the life I projected outwardly no longer matched what was happening inside me.
From the outside, I had built an identity around success, achievement, money and independence. Privately, I was struggling with depression, anxiety and a growing sense that I didn’t belong in the life I had created.
I began searching everywhere for answers. The Secret opened the door to the idea that our thoughts, feelings and beliefs could shape our experience of reality, and from there I became a student of the unseen forces that influence how we move through life.
I immersed myself in esoteric traditions, metaphysics, energy work, healing practices and astrology. I went on pilgrimage to Egypt, sat in darshan with Mother Meera and traveled to Peru for plant medicine.
Eventually, the gap between the woman I was in the world and the woman I was becoming could no longer hold. The path became about healing, surrender and understanding who I was beneath the identity I built.
And underneath all of it was the question that followed me for years:
What am I actually here to do?
Then the dream answered that question.
One night, during a period of profound despair, I had a vivid dream showing me that I was meant to create something for children.
A few months later, an intuitive session with the woman who would become my coach echoed that message, describing a soul connection with children and parents that mirrored the dream I had told no one about.
I took it as a sign, although it would be nearly five years before I launched the brand.
Building Little Lightworkers became another kind of initiation: healing parts of my own childhood, opening my heart and learning to mother myself while connecting with children on a profound level.
It also turned me into a founder. I developed physical products, worked with manufacturers, sold on Amazon, created a digital course and membership, built websites, funnels, developed an app and hosted live events.
Little Lightworkers taught me how deeply personal building a business can become.
And then the story widened.
Little Lightworkers is still becoming what it wants to become, but somewhere along the way I realized the work was never only about children.
At its heart, it’s about helping children stay connected to the light already within them before the world teaches them to become someone else. I often joke that it became my covert way of helping the grown-ups too. Let’s be honest, we’re the ones who really need the remembering.
As I built the business, I began noticing the same pattern in adults: years spent following scripts about who we should be, how we should work and what success should look like, while something quieter inside keeps asking for a different expression.
Fairy Tale Consulting grew from that realization: a way to help grown-ups reconnect with what is uniquely theirs and bring what they feel called to create into the world.
The work may look different, but the heart of it is the same.
MY FAIRY TALE BUSINESSThis is what happened when I stopped following the script.
01 · I CREATED THE WORLD I WANTED TO SEEWhen I looked at what already existed for children, much of it felt loud, highly stimulating and designed almost entirely through a child-facing lens.
I wanted to create something different: a world that felt beautiful, calming and magical, where grown-ups could exhale just as much as children could wonder. So instead of following the visual language of a traditional children’s brand, I built the world my inner-child longed for.
02 · THE WOUND BECAME THE WORKAs a deeply sensitive child, I learned to disconnect from myself in order to navigate a world that often felt overwhelming. Years of healing helped me understand what I had needed then: adults who could see beneath the behavior and understand the experience of the sensitive child.
That became the foundation for The Voice of the Empathic Child, my first digital course for parents.
03 · I STOPPED TRYING TO BE SOMEONE ELSEFor a long time, I compared myself to mindfulness teachers, educators and founders whose credentials and paths looked nothing like mine. I thought I needed to become more like them in order to be credible.
The breakthrough came when I realized my work didn’t require me to become someone else. It required me to step more fully into myself.
At 49, I put on my wings and became the Fairy of Light.
04 · I LET SELF-KNOWLEDGE INFORM THE STRATEGYAs I built Little Lightworkers, I went deep into Human Design and astrology to better understand how I was naturally meant to work, lead, create and be seen.
Seeing four planets in Leo in my first house — alongside my Human Design as a Projector — helped me recognize that visibility wasn’t a side issue for me. It was part of the work.
Little Lightworkers asked me to step forward, become visible and let me become part of the brand.
05 · I CREATED WHAT I ONCE NEEDEDLittle Lightworkers ultimately became a way to give children something I wish I’d had much earlier in life.
The Journey, my membership experience, uses stories, characters, meditation, movement, creativity and family rituals to help children build an inner foundation of self-love, connection, resilience, peace and self-trust, so they can move through life without losing connection to themselves.
None of this came from finding the right blueprint.
It came from allowing my lived experience, imagination, wounds, strengths and way of seeing the world to become part of the business itself.
