i believe in heartbeats;
elevated, sweaty, pounding kinda beats.

Hello, I’m Steph.

I believe that when you do what makes your heart beat faster, you will inevitably make a dent in the universe.

You will inspire someone to move their body, dream a bigger dream or launch that business that was scribbled out on the back of a napkin.

I am devoted to joy. And I am certain that with joy, you can change your life today. Together, we will change the world, one elevated heart beat at a time.

“What three words or phrases define your leadership style?” 

“Wildly passionate and totally possible; connection is my currency; gratitude is my religion. (Core value: We sweat at dawn — win the morning; win the day!)”

ABOUT ME

I started my career in the executive search space, where I learned that new career opportunities change peoples lives. I’ve since remained insatiably curious about uncovering human potential in all areas of our lives from our daily vocation to meaningful relationships to sweaty pursuits and beyond.

Once upon a time, I finished 26 Ironman races; sport had become my art and my desire to sweat is simply a way of life. I have many untapped goals and hairy dreams, yet currently I’m running miles before the sunrises, equally devoted to growing ViRTUS, a leadership development consultancy and my gorgeous garden.

I live, work and play from my home tucked in the mountains of Squamish, BC. If I’m not lost adventuring in the trails or forging mushrooms, I’m probably chasing my bernedoodle, Bernie or baking cookies. You are always welcome to stop by for a treat!

These are the moments I’m most proud of:

"Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? 

Actually, who are you not to be?"
