Hi! I’m Cory.

YOUR ROCK CLIMBING, PSYCH NERD, PRACTICAL OPTIMIST OF A PURPOSE GUIDE

In my early-mid twenties I lived through two experiences that left me deeply questioning who I am and what I’m here to do: an emotionally manipulative relationship & a chronic illness diagnosis. Those experiences left me with an even greater fascination with identity & purpose in life and led me down this path. I’m also a lover of nature in all forms. A joy-led business owner. A big ol’ nerd for anything having to do with the human experience.
I’m a pep talker, a trauma-informed coach, and a purpose-in-life researcher.
But my favorite role is Your Purpose Guide.

My work here is to be a mirror for you.
To be a safe space for you to reflect on who you are & who you’d like to grow into.
I’m here to help you create clarity on a path forward that feels fun & meaningful to you, to help you build confidence in taking the actions that will move you in that new direction & to give you tools to develop resilience so you can more easily move through any obstacles you face.

In this space, we explore the habits we’ve taken on to survive & how to let go of the ones that no longer support us. We invite in new knowledge of what will aid us in living our most fulfilling lives, by our own definition. We work to cultivate our purpose, our own personal life GPS. Free from the conditioning that there is only one “right” path to “success.”

I am so very, very passionate about helping incredible humans with big dreams begin to take steps towards turning those thoughts into reality. With a combination of purpose development theory, nervous system regulation, deep identity work, and reverse engineering goals, I help my clients hold themselves with more kindness & patience while determining practical actions steps to begin moving towards all they are here to do & making an impact in this world by being themselves.

So, let’s do this thing, shall we?
