“There are very very few coaches out there that have the talent, skill and intuitive ability Muunie possesses.

From the first time we spoke (before I become a client) I knew she’d be my coach. She helped me uncover so many blind spots in my personal life and business that have helped me go to new levels. Not only does she meet you where you’re at, she pours helpful into every session so

you always leave feeling 10X better and her work carries over into all areas of your life.

There’s so much more I can say about Muunie but to sum it up, you won’t regret having her in your corner. I wish I had met her several years ago.”


“Muunie has been a performance coach for me for several months now. What Muunie does, is she intuitively discerns your strengths, your potentials and the places where you need to be able to open up your eyes to your own internal capacity for healing yourself. And she leads you to getting in touch with those parts of yourself that can allow you to fix the pieces that are out of place within you.

Muunie has an incredible way of seeing the real person beneath the facade, behind the professional pressures, the person who needs to get back in touch with who they are on the inside.

Muunie is able to allow people to really develop into not just the professional achievers that they could be, but the well-rounded and flourishing human beings that we all want to be…I totally encourage you to give her a try.”


“Within a year of working with Muunie, my friends commented on how much more confident I had become, I felt more at peace with the relationships in my life, and I was able to make several big life changes…and that constant anxiety that I wasn’t living the life I was supposed to has dissipated.”


“Muunie is fantastic.

She took the time to get to know me as a person and from there, unpack what's been holding me back - all in a way that has felt most authentic to myself.”


“She really listened to me and got to know me first on a level that no other professional before was able to do.”


“I struggle with a lot of anxiety and negative self-talk that often gets in the way of meeting my goals, and working with Muunie has helped me immensely.”


“Muunie is unlike anyone you’ve been to in the past.

She invests in you fully and spends the time getting to know you - the you that’s still a work in progress.”

Here’s my theory. 

Everyone wants to feel good. Everyone wants love. And everyone wants to live their purpose.

I know, wild theory.

Even more wild? We want these things, we know it in our souls, but we run away, reject them and create obstacles.

For good reason. We carry the scars of the past in our bodies. We take on other people’s stuff. We’re scared and we care!

So we disconnect from our truth.

We can always reconnect.

Here’s how: we listen,

get to know ourselves deeply,

decide what we do and don’t want

and free whatever’s stuck in our body.

So we can feel good, overflow with love and go get ‘em.

 
 

 

Muunie is a healer and creative life coach.

She is also an artist. She is also funny.

Muunie is “a walking deep breath.” She received a BA in Visual and Media Studies from Duke University in 2012 and an MPS in Art Therapy from the School of Visual Arts in 2017. While living in New York and working toward becoming an art therapist, she burned out, losing herself again to suicidal thoughts and self-hatred. Hoping that happiness was possible, she let go of her career and chased the Sun to Los Angeles. That leap of faith showed her the power of leaping. Muunie has been sharing the aliveness she’s uncovered and helping others transform their lives since 2018.


 

The longer version…

I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety for as long as I can remember. I spent more than half of my life wanting to die. The name of the game was surviving and making everyone think I was okay. I had no clue what I really wanted, and it didn’t matter because I didn’t think I deserved to be happy. 

After graduating from Duke in 2012, with a BA in Visual and Media Studies and an Rx for Prozac, I moved to New York City, where I got a job in independent film, because someone told me I should. After three years, depression and anxiety humming along, I realized I wanted to work with people on a deeper level. So I got my masters in art therapy and immediately started my first job at a large nursing home. I was depressed, drained and rarely got to facilitate the deep transformation I craved. But hey, I had a job in my field, I had an income and I was working toward my goals. What did I have to complain about? My life was fine

BUT IT WASN'T. I was miserable. I was having consistent, worsening depressive episodes that left me not wondering if I would end my life, but when and how. I was constantly on the verge of tears, distancing myself from friends and using distractions and substances to drown out constant dread. I didn’t know how I would get through the next day…let alone the next YEAR until I had enough hours for licensure. And did I even want to stay in New York?

It was too overwhelming to contemplate these bigger questions while gasping for air. It took months of suffering before I finally quit. I felt so much guilt taking care of myself when my clients needed me. But I was falling apart.

I wasn’t listening to my inner voice, begging me to stop and make a change. Listening meant I had to grapple with the underly conviction that I was too broken to be fixed. It was the most difficult decision of my life, but I left my job, parting with my identity as someone who “succeeds” at all costs, and moved across the country to Los Angeles, hoping the Sun would heal me.

Taking this chance on myself and investing in my wellbeing sent a profound message to those doubts and fears. There is a better way, and I can take it. These changes ignited my mental, physical and spiritual health. The path that was always meant for me opened up and now I work with badass, inspiring clients around the world to help them radically transform their lives. My clients have moved out of depression and anxiety, realized their dreams, run better businesses, started loving their bodies, quit toxic jobs, gotten paid what they’re worth, moved to new cities, followed their creativity, stood up for themselves in relationships, and so much more. They’re out there enjoying their lives and inspiring others to live better.

When I was in that day-in and day-out struggle, I didn’t think any of this was possible. But I’m here to tell you, it is. You deserve to find out what’s possible for you. We need you.
