Join the 9 Lumens Newsletter9 Lumens coaching and Illuminate Scripture studies help you uncover the stories that have defined you—so you can see differently, live more freely, and make real change
Whether you’ve come to explore 9 Lumens (my Enneagram-based coaching practice) or Illuminate (my Scripture studies for women), you’re in the right place.
Both grow from the same passion: uncovering stories that have been unseen, overlooked, or misinterpreted.
Since 2020, I’ve seen that when a story is held safely—so its layers can be revealed and examined—you begin to see things differently, wholeness unfolds, and your ways of moving through the world really can change.
As a credentialed life coach who has spent years listening to people’s stories—and researching the stories of women and Scripture—I’ve learned that transformation begins when we’re seen, heard, and met with both curiosity and care.
Coaching for clarity.
Space for change.
Support for lasting growth.
Think the Enneagram is just another personality test?
It’s so much more than that.
The Enneagram reveals the narratives beneath your story—patterns of thinking, feeling, and acting that, when brought to light, can change how you live and relate to the world around you.
The unexamined parts of your story may not be your fault—but they’re still your work.
We all have blind spots—parts of ourselves we can’t see clearly until someone helps us look with gentleness and honesty. Coaching creates that space where what’s been unseen can come into view and begin to shift.
Since 2020, I’ve coached people who want to do the work—and, as one client said, “When I discovered my type, I realized I can’t unpack this alone.”
I’m an ICF PCC–credentialed Life Coach, a Christian Professional Leadership Coach, and a Certified Enneagram Coach—built on five years of training and hundreds of hours of listening.
That blend of study, research, and practice continually shapes how I listen and learn—and supports my posture that holds the space for coaching and teaching: never at you, but with you
“I’d never thought of studying women in Scripture this way.
I don’t feel like an afterthought—I now really see myself in God’s story.”
That’s something I frequently hear after an Illuminate session.
Since 2018, along with completing a Bachelor of Theology, I’ve devoted hundreds of hours of research to studying women and Scripture.
This isn’t your typical ladies’ Bible study.
Rather than teaching at you, I share what I’m learning and, using a coaching mindset, invite you to engage your own story with Scripture through guided reflection and conversation.
This biblically grounded, coach approach makes room for your own discovery and Spirit-led connection.
My prayer is that through Illuminate, women walk away encouraged, equipped, and engaged with Scripture, with their own stories, and with the people and places they’re called to influence.
For the latest study series and e-course offerings, be sure to sign up for the newsletter. I am also available for teaching engagements in both large and small group settings.

I bring women and Scripture to life with a coaching approach that makes space for questions, reflection, and connection.
Illuminate is intentionally multi-denominational and church-adjacent—created to serve and support women across faith communities who long to engage Scripture with both heart and context.
The stories we live in are the stories we walk out.
For more than twenty years, I’ve been drawn to the stories that shape how we see ourselves and the world around us.
My early career in marketing and communications taught me the power of narrative.
While raising our sons and serving in our community and local church, I pursued theological study that deepened my passion for learning how to learn—digging beneath what I’d been told to seek truth in context about Scripture, women, and the heart of God.
Now, built on five years of training and hundreds of hours of listening —as an ICF PCC–credentialed Life Coach, a Christian Professional Leadership Coach, and a Certified Enneagram Coach—I hold space for clients, teams, and workshops in a way that’s never at you, but with you.
My work brings together two expressions of the same calling:
Beyond the work I do, I love the life I get to share—our family, the friendships and community we’re part of, and the local church that’s shaped so much of our story.
I’ve been married for more than twenty-five years, raising three sons—one now married—and delighting in our first grandson.
I grew up in beautiful British Columbia, Canada, and have called Tacoma, Washington home since 2003—learning to love and be shaped by both places I call home.
