My Core Business Values

  • Authenticity

    I believe that the power of being our true, unapologetic, imperfect selves, is what allows us to connect on the deepest level with the right people. How do I remain authentic? I don't take on work which makes me feel ick; I am open and honest with clients and prospective clients; I limit my screen time so I don't fall into comparison traps; and I check in with myself often.

    I value authenticity in my clients too.

  • Integrity

    I deeply value integrity, in work + life. Ethical business practice is important to me, so I can't work with people who don’t value this. I’m committed to being authentic, transparent, and respectful in all interactions. I create a trustworthy and positive environment for everyone I work with.

  • Compassion

    I like to offer / be offered a supportive environment where mutual respect and understanding for the human being behind the business allows us to thrive. I genuinely care for my clients' well-being. I listen attentively, offer support, and approach every situation with empathy. By understanding their needs and challenges, I can provide thoughtful solutions that respect their unique circumstances.

  • Inclusivity

    I am committed to making sure everyone feels welcome, respected, and heard, tailoring my services to meet diverse needs. By cultivating an inclusive environment, I aim to create a space where all clients can thrive, regardless of their background or identity.
