On stage, I bring a warm intensity. i command with the truth, and am light at heart. i speak with rawness. i quickly connect with the audience in a way that makes them feel deeply seen and heard. i seek to understand what people want in their hearts, and then shows them how to get it. i challenge people to step into their full potential, and make topics that can be seen as dark and scary, as warm, inviting and exciting. When you spend time with me, you will feel lighter, more at peace, and accepted for exactly who you are.
