By equipping adults with the tools to model positive behavior and manage their own emotions, we create ripple effects that extend to the young people they serve.
We empower adults working with youth by offering transformational professional development that nurtures personal growth and builds strong, impactful relationships.
Through authentic, dynamic, and meaningful learning experiences, we equip individuals with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to be their best selves—and to inspire the same growth in the young people they serve.
We envision a world where every adult working with youth has the resources and support to thrive personally and professionally, creating a ripple effect that empowers young people to reach their full potential. We strive to build communities where all people flourish.

I’ve always been captivated by stories. Whether it’s a child’s recounting of their day, a colleague’s personal reflections, or my own experiences, I believe that storytelling is the key to growth. Through sharing our stories we come to understand ourselves and each other. We share, we learn, and we grow.
My own story had a rocky start. While the home I grew up in wasn’t absent of love, what I remember most is the turmoil. I didn’t have words for it back then, but as I look back, much of my childhood experience was shaped by feelings of fear, anxiety and loneliness. My early experiences shaped a deep longing for connection. To be seen. To be heard. To truly matter. Those early years, though difficult, laid the foundation of what would become my life's work.
When I became a teacher over 25 years ago, I had no idea that the seeds for The Flourish Lab were being planted. Working with 7th and 8th graders every day, I quickly realized the profound impact when students felt seen and valued. Those moments resonated deeply, as I hadn’t always felt that way as a child. Over time, I learned to listen deeply, how to be present, and how to create environments where people felt safe to be themselves.
As I transitioned into adult education and coaching, I discovered the weight of the untold stories people carry—stories of joy, pain, and resilience. There is a unique kind of beauty in people’s stories. And there is an even deeper beauty in the vulnerability it takes to share them. I was honored to be trusted by so many who allowed me to enter their lives in such a meaningful way. In these moments, my heart broke open, and I realized just how deeply connected we all are. Every day I am moved by this beautiful, complex, and resilient human experience. At The Flourish Lab, we believe that how we show up for ourselves and others matters. When we invest in our growth, we create ripple effects that extend far beyond us. This cycle of growth, connection and impact inspires everything we do.
Thank you for being here.
