From the boardroom to the ballroom — and everything in between

For three decades I built a career in the corporate world — much of it with software and technology companies, developing people and the skills no machine can replace: communication, customer service, connection. I was good at it. But somewhere along the way, dance found me — and it changed how I saw everything. On the floor, I couldn't overthink. I had to stay present, adjust, trust my partner, and keep moving. The fog in my head would clear.

I realized the lessons of movement weren't just about dancing. They were about living — about momentum when you feel stuck, adaptability when life shifts, and connection when you've lost touch with yourself. So I went all in: twenty years in fitness, including owning fitness studios built for women and for people over 40. Along the way I got certified as a ballroom instructor, a personal trainer, a life coach — even a wedding planner — and I built the MAC Method™ to tie it all together.

My favorite work? Walking alongside women — female entrepreneurs betting on themselves, women designing their next chapter and ready to move like it. But whether I'm teaching a nervous bride her first dance, coaching a woman through a big transition, or energizing a tech team, my goal is the same: to help you feel capable, confident, and in motion.

And because life isn't all choreography: I'm a mother of four adult children spread across the country, and a cancer survivor. I know firsthand what it feels like to lose your rhythm — and what it takes to fight your way back to it. That's exactly why I believe, fiercely, that you can find yours. I'd love to help.

Home base is Winston-Salem, North Carolina — but I regularly work in Florida, New England, and Western New York… or wherever I'm called. 🙂
