What if I died?
That was the question I asked myself back in 2014, as I laid on the pavement waiting for the ambulance to arrive. I had just gotten hit by an SUV while crossing the street; my head was bleeding and my pelvis was broken in two places.
“What if I died?!” That was the question that was running through my head. “Would I have been satisfied with the life I was living?” The answer was no.
Since that day, I’ve dedicated myself to living an intentional life. I quit my corporate job in digital marketing, and now offer web design, copy-writing, and branding to help small business owners just like you be intentional and make an impact as well.
When I say I’ve been there, I mean I’ve been there.
I owned a yoga studio in Truro, NS from 2015 – 2019. It was part of how I gave back within my intentional life… Yoga helped me recover from the accident physically and emotionally, and I wanted to share the same healing with our community. My yoga studio focused on body positivity, inclusivity, and accessibility. My heart was full… but my pockets weren’t. I was burning the candle at both ends; trying to stay with my vision, but also trying to keep the doors open and profit in order to build my own life (you know, like actually have a savings account?).
After investing so much time, money, and energy into learning marketing, branding, design, and messaging, I fell in love with making an impact from behind the scenes. I eventually traded in my stretching sequences and yoga pants for brand strategies and well… still yoga pants!
I’ve been fortunate that I’ve naturally attracted a clientele of small business owners looking to do the same thing; spread their message and make the world a better place.
If you’re a business, brand, or individual who wants to build or rebuild their website, refine their messaging, share their story, define their brand, or simply get clarity on their idea and goals, I’m here to help.
The world needs more positive energy; let’s make the impact you’ve been placed here to do.
I’ll help you stand out with effective web design that grabs your ideal customer’s attention… letting you get back to focusing on the things that light you up (like the reasons you started your business in the first place!)
