From streamlining processes to strengthening your foundation for growth, I take a hands-on, thoughtful approach to making financial management easier and more sustainable.

But my understanding of wellness goes beyond numbers. As an energy healing practitioner and certified health coach, I understand the values and challenges of wellness businesses.

Why Work with Me?

With a background in public accounting, corporate finance, and startups, I provide fractional controller services designed for wellness-focused businesses like yours. I bridge the gap between accounting and operations, ensuring your financial processes support the growth and efficiency of your entire business.

Many businesses run into costly financial issues due to DIY bookkeeping, inexperienced firms, or non-accountants handling the books. I help you build a strong financial foundation from the start—whether that means optimizing your existing systems and processes or scaling them as you grow. 

From streamlining workflows to improving month-end close, I focus on practical, long-term solutions that evolve with your business. The right balance of structure, flexibility, and autonomy isn’t just good for efficiency—it boosts team morale. When financial processes are thoughtfully designed, they empower teams to work with clarity and confidence, creating a smoother and more productive workplace.

Whether you run a meditation app, fitness platform, mental health startup, or personal development brand, I understand both your mission and financial needs.

I am more than just a numbers person—I am a partner in your growth. If a clearer, more organized financial foundation would bring ease to your business, let’s connect!
