We all have a niche.

Something we thrive in and there's just an ease to it.

I fully believe that's when we are walking in what God created us to do.

Events and design are some of those things for me.

From cross country tours and theaters full of women, to backyard dinner parties and cozy retreats where we dive into the hard parts of life, business & faith;
In-person gatherings are where I truly come alive.

I've dedicated this page to telling you all about where I've been & where I'm going.

I really hope I get to hug your neck in real life along the way!


Events are kinda my thing.

xoxo..

about me

Have the last few years...


do you crave ...


We do too!


thrown you off course

caused a pivot in your life or business

led to new passions

left you feeling a bit isolated because of your fierce faith & strong beliefs 

space to refresh, reset and finally get some rest

like minded community who is passionate about jesus & firm in their biblical values 

insight, feedback and tools for your business, ministry or book idea?

Time to worship, pray, and hear from the lord 

a chance to slow down, watch the sunset over the water, kayak in the afternoon & laugh around the table under twinkle lights?

If you were nodding your head to things above, you're not alone... and we have a seat saved just for you!
