Business advisor and community connector in Fluvanna County

Helping people figure out their next step.

I help people figure things out, whether that’s a business decision, a new idea, or just knowing who to call. I’m based in Fluvanna County, Virginia and I do a lot of my connecting in Charlottesville and Richmond too. If you’ve crossed my path somewhere along the way, I’m glad you found me here.

Who I Am

I’m the person who knows a person.

I get genuinely invested in the communities I’m part of. I love a good conversation, I like knowing what’s happening locally, and I’m always happy to point someone in the right direction whether or not there’s anything in it for me.

Professionally I help small businesses, especially coaches, healers, and service-based folks, figure out what they need online and then make it real. But this site is also just me. So if you’re here because we met at a networking event, a community meetup, a wellness workshop, or a karaoke night, welcome.

Kindred Oaks

A serene stretch of land in Fluvanna County with a big vision and an open mind. Elopements, garden parties, retreats, workshops, outdoor coworking, photography sessions, camping, a dog park, a picnic spot for families, maybe an Airbnb. The possibilities feel wide open and I’m excited about all of them. The land is ready. I just need the right hands-on person to tend it and help make it real.

Beyond Business

The Unshakable Self

So much of what makes work feel hard comes down to people: how we communicate, where we draw lines, and what we keep tolerating. On my Substack, I write about boundaries and communication that actually hold up in real relationships, at work and at home.
