I offer tailored and customized services to both employers (organizations) as well as individuals.

You can click on “Services” at the top of the website, where you will see a listing. But I’m happy to provide a customized program that is unique to your situation, so no worries if you don’t see the exact thing you’re looking for. We will go over your needs during the discovery call to determine if we are a good fit.

When I was recovering from career burnout, I learned the power of vulnerability and leaning on my network. At the end of a women’s retreat, a participant gifted us all an elephant ornament that read, “Thank you for being part of my herd.”

I was struck by the synchronicity. Just the night before, I’d dreamed that my best friend and I were watching an elephant walk into the ocean. A week later, that same best friend visited and brought me a surprise gift - an elephant candle holder. For weeks, elephants kept appearing in my life.

Driven by curiosity, I started researching them. I discovered that elephant herds live in highly cooperative matriarchies with lifelong, unbreakable female bonds. They travel together, eat together, and protect each other. When one of their herd members is hurt, they refuse to leave her behind.

The support from my own female "herd" was what saved me from burnout. I chose HERD Discovery Collective to honor that journey and to help others discover the powerful, supportive communities of their own.

It’s an acronym as well as a metaphor. It stands for Heal, Evolve, and Re-Design the next phase of your life.

It is inspired by the tight-knit herds that female elephants form to support, protect, and heal one another. While the business has expanded beyond its original focus on burnout recovery exclusively, my foundational belief remains: we all need support from others - a herd - in order to thrive and grow.

I offer several engagement models, including project-based fees for specific initiatives, fixed monthly retainers for ongoing advisory services, or an hourly rate for targeted, ad-hoc consulting needs such as situational leadership coaching or short-term support. Fees are determined after an initial alignment call to assess the scope and duration of your needs. You will then receive a proposal outlining the exact deliverables, timeline, and associated fees.
