Hey friend, have we met yet?

FIRE STARTER
MOTIVATOR
CHANGE MAKER
BUSINESS HEALER
LIFE OPTIMIST

My mission is to help you unlock your path to freedom, setting you free from the past so that you can step into the fullest expression of yourself and
lead on your terms.

"Working with Mandy has expanded my business and transformed all aspects of my life, she's a true expander. "

I lead with invested connection and real-deal vulnerability. An innate business builder, I’ll help you visualize the legacy you are meant to create and roll up my sleeves to help you actualize your dreams and desires.

We’ll clarify, define and prioritize the essentials: From vision to business planning, habits and routines, structure, identity, and systems. And in the nitty-gritty of it all, you’ll feel lighter through being truly seen.

It’s time to push past the proverbial, to play bigger, and to dream bigger. To lean into empowered freedom and profitability. To ignite your vitality and liberation. To bypass permission, ditch perfection, and lean into the pitfalls. Let’s move you out from the shadows of doubt, beyond limiting beliefs, and into the magic that is you.

MY MISSION IS SIMPLE -
I WANT TO SEE YOU WIN.


I help visionary leaders and entrepreneurs transform chaos into empowered freedom through mentorship, immersive and transformational experiences, and my proven processes that create fulfillment from within.

As an award winning-entrepreneur, Founder of The Well (formerly ACE), RISE Retreats, It's Date Night Canada, Host of the The Well Podcast, ICF and CCA Certified Business and Success Coach, DISC Certified Facilitator, Executive Coach, and Breathwork Facilitator,  I bring over two decades of leadership, business and wellness experience and wisdom to the table.

It was pounding the entrepreneurial pavement that brought me to my truth:
My greatest win is witnessing yours.

PULL UP A CHAIR

Here's my story:

Here's my story:

This is the short version. 
*When we connect, ask me about the time my husband and I traveled over 2 days to save my business and got kicked out of the Facebook HQ in Silicon Valley. 


My entrepreneurial journey began when I was 7, selling herring and lemonade to the fishermen off the dock off the coast of BC. Fast forward and many hospitality jobs later and you would find me harvesting all those skills into my first real deep dive into entrepreneurship.

It was 2012 and no one believed me that Facebook was going to become more powerful than print ads, so I started an influencer media company before influencers were influencers, and social media was even really a thing.

I turned no’s into yeses and eventually my University school project, It’s Date Night, turned into a multiple six-figure business within it's first year. Over the 10 years, I built this business, I received many awards for community building and was recognized as Start-Up of The Year and Women Entrepreneur of The Year and generated over 500K followers and over 7 Million in revenue.

I created hundreds of events, activations, and connections, that enriched relationships and still do to this day — one couple I introduced at speed dating even got married! 

I made the important decision to bring on a strategic operating partner right as the pandemic began. We acquired several smaller brands, scaling across Canada and competing for market share of the busy influencer space. Our total reach spanned over 500k social media followers and millions of impressions.

Simultaneously, I was building my membership community ( The Well ) for Women Leaders & Entrepreneurs and honing my skills as a mentor; offering mastermind groups, coaching, online courses, conferences, and retreats. This was truly where my heart was and not long after, I found myself stretched too thin for too long and needed to create space for myself to expand. 

I successfully exited It’s Date night for a 6 figure exit to further my mission to help leaders live and lead on their terms through my retreats and coaching and now, find this opening new doors, which is why you are here.  

I have invested  a great deal of my time understanding, simplifying, focusing, and honing my leadership and business development skills — so now I coach, mentor and facilitate transformation for entrepreneurs and their teams to build healthy thriving businesses and cultures. So that they too — can unlock a path to freedom.

Let’s build great things together.

Fun Facts
about My Personality
and Design

I am a Taurus — practical, steady, solid ground, and a great listener, a trust fall. I have an Aquarius moon and Virgo Rising which contribute to my creative and organized persona.

I am a 4/6 Manifestor in Human Design — which means I am here to initiate, bring things to life, and create a legacy. Building community, teaching, and leading are a part of who I am.

I am a D, I in the Disc Assessment [ which I facilitate ] I’m direct, firm, and know how to command presence yet I’m approachable and intuitively understand how to meet people where they’re at.

I am a quick start in the Kolbe assessment — I get shit done and know how to execute and follow through.

My superpower is ingenuity followed by systems thinking — I take complex things and make them simple and practical. I believe above all, there is ALWAYS a way to YES.

My love language is results, well - actually it’s acts of service and words of affirmation. Take something off of my to-do list and tell me I’m doing a good job ;) But I’m all about results.

I am a perceived extrovert yet I need and enjoy a lot of alone time to recharge my batteries. 

As you can tell, I love personality tests, and if we work together we’ll work to build your business and life around your unique zone of genius and strengths… because that’s where the magic happens
