I am the energetic, passionate, and resilient Founder & CEO of Money Honey LLC. Money Honey is a financial coaching company that teaches high-achieving women how to have a fun & healthy relationship with money. We combine the techniques of money management with energetics & prosperity consciousness to create lasting wealth. We have a variety of programs from private coaching to financial wellness retreats.

Additionally, I teach workshops for corporations and community organizations as well as speaking engagements for events/panels. As a Certified Financial Coach, I’m on a mission to lead women to build wealth to positively impact the world. I started this company after overcoming financial abuse and turmoil. I’ve seen firsthand through my own experience and with clients how a healthy relationship with money can change a woman’s life.

A confident and healthy relationship with money has allowed me to intentionally spend money on what matters to me like: taking multiple international trips every year, having more time to spend with friends and family, and being an angel investor in companies with initiatives I believe in. I am excited to work with you on your financial journey to create the wealthy life you’re excited to live.
