My Story
I’m a wellness voyage strategist and cruise specialist who believes that ocean travel—when chosen intentionally—can be one of the most restorative ways to see the world.
Cruising is one of my favorite ways to travel—and one of the most underestimated. When thoughtfully designed, a cruise becomes far more than transportation between ports. It becomes a floating sanctuary—a place to reset, to move, and to breathe differently.
Over time, I found myself drawn again and again to small-ship cruises, luxury ocean voyages, and expedition sailings where space, pacing, and connection to nature transform how you feel both during and after a trip. Today, I help travelers navigate the overwhelming number of cruise options and choose itineraries that align with their energy, lifestyle, and long-term travel goals.
As an Alaska cruise specialist, I also guide clients through the nuances of Inside Passage itineraries, small-ship Alaska expeditions, and elevated glacier-focused sailings for 2026–2027.
Travel Style
My approach to travel—and to planning—is intentional, wellness-forward, and deeply consultative. I specialize in two distinct styles of cruise travel:
Restore at Sea
Boutique and luxury cruises designed around spaciousness, spa-level wellness, ocean-view accommodations, and a slower rhythm that supports true restoration.
Move at Sea
Small-ship and expedition cruises featuring guided exploration, wildlife encounters, kayaking, hiking, and immersive shore experiences that reconnect you to the natural world.
While cruising is my core focus and personal passion, I also design curated global travel experiences guided by the same philosophy: thoughtful pacing, meaningful destinations, and travel that leaves you energized rather than exhausted.
My planning style is collaborative and strategic. I take time to understand how you like to feel on vacation—your energy levels, preferences, and non-negotiables—and then design a personalized cruise strategy, not just a booking.

From Pause to Motion: A Multi-Modal Reset from New Mexico to Nashville
This journey marked the intentional end of a short travel pause and the beginning of a new rhythm for 2026. Blending flights, camper van travel, state parks, and a city finale, it was designed around contrast rather than excess. Moving slowly through expansive landscapes before closing with music and design-forward comfort reinforced how powerful sequencing can be. Restoration, I’ve found, isn’t about one style of travel—it’s about choosing the right mix.
