Hi there! I'm JT! I'm a matrescence educator, leadership coach and facilitator, holistic health coach, mom of 2 beautiful girls, and I believe that love is the greatest force on earth. Well, I am much more than just those titles (and so are you...)

My personal journey with matrescence (defined as the profound, multifaceted, and often tumultuous developmental process of transitioning into motherhood), deep passion for people, and belief that each person is meant to live a fulfilled life is what brought me to this work. Helping people remember who they are at their core, beyond the roles they play, and guiding them to live with intention and vibrance is my greatest calling.

I am passionate about people and obsessed with helping them gain clarity around their innate strengths, uncover the “why” behind their daily rhythms, and cultivate emotional resilience. My methodology integrates tools like the CliftonStrengths Assessment, Simon Sinek’s WHY Discovery, and the TalentSmart Emotional Intelligence Appraisal to help humans feel seen, empowered, and emotionally grounded.

 

Prior to becoming a life coach, I spent over a decade in the life sciences industry and held diverse roles in genomics—from the lab bench to commercial leadership. This journey gave me a deep respect for how unique talents shape how we show up in work and in life. Today, I bring that same belief into my work with mothers and corporate professionals—helping them remember who they are at their core, beyond the roles they play, and guiding them to live with intention and vibrance.
 

I am a Certified Gallup CliftonStrengths Coach, Certified Emotional Intelligence Facilitator, Certified WHY Coach with Simon Sinek’s Optimism Company, and a Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach—honoring the connection between mind, body, and soul.

 

I find joy in hiking the Santa Cruz mountains, sipping coffee at my favorite local spots, dancing in the living room with my two daughters, and carving out quiet moments of reflection between the beautiful chaos of motherhood.

​

I am on a mission to create more agape love on earth.
