Hi! I’m KARa.

Wherever you are in trying to figure out what’s next for you or your business, you’ve come to the right place. Meeting you exactly where you're at and build a unique plan for you & your business is one of my specialties.

Why? Because I have years of creating things from nothing, or half baked, or already started, or succeeding, or simply a hot mess. In my corporate life I was often hired to take over a brand, category, role that no one else wanted or had given up on. And you know what? I became really good at reviving them and making them leaders.

As an entrepreneur, I’ve been there. I’ve been at the place where an idea has sparked and you’re thinking…. “could this be a thing?" I’ve launched and gotten stuck and felt overwhelmed. I’ve had success and wondered “how do I expand?” or “how do I keep this up?” or “there must be a better way to do this”.

And you know what? I hired my own coach to help me through! We all need a coach for the most important things in our lives. I'd be honored to be yours.

All people and all ideas have within them the possibility of being great.
You can have it all. You deserve it and your dream life & business is waiting for you.
