I genuinely love people.

 

Growing up in St. Louis, MO with a big, blended, loving family shaped me into the woman I am today. My spirit glows, love flows, & lifting others up is a must. My Mom instilled compassion in me & my Dad reminded me I could do anything. Seeing examples of trust, patience, and generosity with others placed an optimistic lens over my eyes that forever changed me. Finally, my abundant energy met my purpose.

​

I found my life's work.

​

I created Optimistic Theory in my mid 20's. My bubbly, hopeful demeanor abruptly met the realness of the world. I was told my smile wouldn't last. That made me curious. My question became: "Can I remain optimistic as an adult?" I was frustrated with being told adulthood meant growing towards grumpiness. "Do I have to accept this as life?"

 

I had to do something.

​

Optimistic Theory is passionate about creating fun, freeing experiences for the people of today. In an "always on" world, we know it's daunting to "turn off". The good and exhale worthy news is: you don't have to completely stop. We can play in the middle by taking a PAUSE to: learn how to rest. Studies show that being with others is an effective way to manage stress. Over the years, I have helped hundreds of people PAUSE, learn resting skills, and feel a sense of relief through group silent experiences right at home. 

 

We want rest to be an active part of your day.

 

With expertly crafted & curated silent experiences, refreshing retreats, engaging trainings, and creative coaching & consulting services, you have a new place to actively practice rest. We want you to retreat where you are. What a place to start. ;)
