Let me support you in making it easier and seamless!
Note: inspired by bell hooks, i intentionally use and omit capitalization as an act of rebellion and play. This is a personal preference for my own writing.However, all client deliverables will use professional writing norms.
systems & support that honor you
six years ago, i began coaching folks from all walks of life to reveal and embody the leadership that felt most true to them. i've collaborated with leaders, changemakers, and entrepreneurs, facilitated retreats with organizational groups and movements, guiding them through transformation towards who and how they truly wanted to be.what clients consistently appreciate is how i design experiences that encourages people to move in their own way of thinking and doing.i encourage folks in ways that allow them to be honest and orient to themselves differently.i decided to take this way of seeing and meeting people where they are a step further. as a personal assistant that caters to the functioning needs of my clients (including adaptive and executive), i'm here to help them build better systems that actually work for them while helping them accomplish things they've long dreamed to.
about me
(audio recording of this section above!)
hey y'all! as a Afro-Caribbean eldest daughter and capitalism disrupter, i'm someone who enjoys helping people figure out how to make their lives easier by taking a look at what they have right now. i've spent five years serving individuals and organizations in creating sustainable, neurospicy-informed systems to have more capacity to live proactively instead of reactively.as a Virgo Sun and 5/2 Projector, i've been told i do this very well too! so i'm offering these services from this place of support.other words that mean things & tell you a bit about my history: emergent strategist, embodiment coach, neuroscientist, travel agent, facilitator, entrepreneur, equity-informed mediator, steward of liberation, somatic abolitionist.
working with me will offer you ease, spaciousness, and a sense of accomplishment. here are some ways i make that happen:

pricing
I believe in pricing that aligns for both of us, which may vary and can include a combination of bartering and cash depending on what works. My hourly rate is sliding scale from $45-150/ hour with a two hour minimum. Support can be on-going (i.e. email & calendar management), a short-term support (i.e. optimizing storage), or a packaged project (i.e. travel projects). We're building and relating, so let's chat and find what works best!
frequently asked question
5/2 Projector - what does this mean?
This is my profile and type based on Human Design (HD). HD is a holistic self-knowledge system with roots in modern science and ancient systems of understanding the natural world. It aims to provide you with your energetic “design” — a map for personal exploration. The 5/2 in short to me means i do things differently then the conventional. As a Projector, i'm able to get to the heart of things that often aren't seen and act as a supportive guide in integrating that information. If you want to learn more about HD check out this article from one of my teachers Christine Inge. I offer personalized in-depth HD readings if you would like to know more about what this means for you.
Body-informed budgeting - what does this mean?
Oftentimes when we approach budgeting, it brings up a lot of shame and anxiety especially in the body. It can feel like nervousness, fear, tension or spark sweating and brain fog. This is the body communicating how we feel about money based on our previous experiences or inherited beliefs. Instead of building a budget that triggers these sensations and bypasses them, empowerment looks like integrating that and setting up a budgeting system that shifts those narratives. This is what i am calling body-informed budgeting. While we will not be processing those moments deeply, the intention is to create a system that works for you holistically.
