Coaching Meets Consulting
Many coaches ask great questions but lack the business depth to help clients navigate real organizational complexity. Many consultants deliver smart solutions but don’t develop the people doing the work. I live in the space between — and that’s exactly where the change happens.

the origin story
25+ years of leading, launching, & being accountable for results
My path to this work didn’t start with a coaching certification. It started in the rooms where decisions get made — leading brand strategy at Gillette, driving innovation inside a family-owned manufacturing company, and eventually building a SaaS company from the ground up.
“...I couldn’t outrun the question anymore: was I fulfilled, or just in motion?”
I'm also a mother to two daughters, and somewhere in those years I was lying awake more nights than I’d admit, trying to figure out how to show up for them as fully present — while running harder to outrun everything I wasn’t processing. I ran, literally, to de-stress. But even that had stopped working. The treadmill had no stop button.
Then came what I’ve come to call my COVID Clarity. The world stopped, and for the first time in years, I couldn’t run from what I’d been too busy to feel. In that forced stillness, I couldn’t outrun the question anymore: was I fulfilled, or just in motion? I wasn't sleeping. I wasn’t fully present — not with my family, not with myself. And I finally had the space to admit it.
That admission is what led me to somatic coaching training at the Strozzi Institute for Embodied Transformation, and later Seven Stones Leadership Group — work that treats the body, not just the mind, and where leadership actually lives. It’s also what led me to found MercurioConnect: a practice built on the belief that the leaders who go furthest are the ones willing to do the inner work first.
EVERYONE IS A LEADER
I believe everyone is a leader, and it starts with how we lead ourselves. Add gratitude, presence, and an honest conversation, and just about anything can change.
