“Working with Winn came at the right time in my business life. I felt I needed to make a big pivot to drive my work & clientele to the next level, but I needed some guidance on how to handle it. At the time, money was not flowing in as much as I hoped & I was learning how to navigate changes in my work. I decided that making the investment in business coaching was the right move for me even though it was a large investment at the time, & I'm so glad I did! Winn really helped me work through what it means to be a high-end stationer, what I wanted to share with the world & potential clients, how I wanted to present myself, & what was next for my business, Iris + Marie.

Winn guided me in making decisions, such as outsourcing my work, finding my voice & being confident in making large business decisions. I am so thankful for my 1:1 time with Winn & am excited to continue having her in my back pocket for when I need a lift to a new level or business adjustment. Winn is patient, kind & eager to learn about my industry to better help me, which in turn helps me improve my work for my clients. Working with Winn is a no-brainer for me!”

— Shana Wanco, Founder, Iris + Marie, South Carolina


Where do I even begin with Winn?

I learned about her through a colleague in the industry who I deeply respect, and I immediately felt like I needed to try working with her. I had no idea she would exceed my wildest expectations in the way that she did.

Winn came into my life during a major transition, both in my business and personally. While she is technically a business coach, the impact of our work together went far beyond business. The business conversations we had shaped my life just as much as they shaped my company. She understands the thin thread that runs through everything we do and how our personal lives and professional lives are deeply connected. She navigates that with so much care and wisdom. She is incredibly thoughtful and grounded in integrity. There were moments when I had to pause our work and even forgot that I had prepaid sessions remaining. She reached out to remind me and told me I could resume whenever I was ready. That meant so much to me. It showed that she truly cares, not just about revenue, but about people.

Working with Winn feels supportive, honest, and deeply intentional. The clarity I have today and the strides I’ve made in my business are largely because of her guidance. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for real growth.

“Working with Winn has completely shifted how I operate in my business. She helped me cut the through the noise of wearing too many hats and pulled me out of my head and into action. She didn’t just give me advice. She helped me focus, prioritize, and actually execute on the work that moved the needle, not just financially but in a deeply fulfilling way. Because of her, I make decisions faster. I trust myself more and I show up more confidently as a founder. And the ripple effect has touched every part of my business, from my offers to my leadership.

Winn sees the bigger picture when I’m fixated on the wrong details. She challenges me, sharpens my thinking, and reminds me what I’m actually capable of all while giving me space to come to my own conclusions rather than being told what to do. Working with her isn’t just “business coaching.” It’s clarity, confidence, and momentum. This is the kind of support that raises your standard — permanently.”

— Molly McCauley, Founder of Make Pretty, Creative Director, and Speaker


“It is such a pleasure and privilege working with Winn. Her candour, insight, and ability to cut through my own BS to ask me the questions about what really mattered in my work made a huge difference in launching my coaching practice. I highly recommend her to anyone in the creative or service spaces looking for tailored, holistic, and wise guidance.”

— Jordan Nahmias, JD, BA, PCC, Coaching and Consulting, Toronto CA


“Working with Winn is an absolute pleasure. She's as gentle as she is fierce, as direct as she is intuitive. She will guide you through core questions to ask yourself, and you'll come away with a rockin' game plan. I can't recommend working with Winn more.”

— Erin Yu-Juin McMorrow, PhD, Author and Coach


“Working with Winn 1-on-1 was absolutely the reason I achieved the growth and success that I did this year. She's inspiring, insightful, supportive, real and fiercely committed to her clients. Before I worked with her, I felt more like an amateur. With her on my team, I learned what "level up" really means. She guided me to set and maintain the standards, habits and mindset I need to create the life and business I want. She's a pro, and she'll call you forward to walk your talk and make real progress.”

— Kirsten Parker, Mindset & Action Coach, Los Angeles, CA


“Winn's ability to get to the heart of the matter sets her apart from other coaches. Her soothing style and her ability to honor where you are at the time makes her an ideal coach.  After my husband died I was distraught and I was referred to Winn by a close and well-respected friend. I'm so glad I used the referral because the immediate results that I saw from working with Winn lifted my spirits and positively impacted my life. Winn is a fusion of having the business and academic credentials to be an excellent life mentor while also having street smarts to guide you in a practical and approachable way. I feel very fortunate to be mentored by Winn.”

— Mai T. Trinh, Founder of Mai Health Now, Corporate Speaker, Health Educator, Chronic Disease Specialist, & Writer, Alexandria, VA


"Working with Winn helped me move from scattered motion to focused movement on what matters most in growing my business. Drawing on her business and marketing experience, she coached me through my hesitations and built systems that sustain a daily "drip" of focused, deep work, strengthening my confidence in my path."

— Peter Brandenburger, Leadership Coach, ROAR Coaching, Phoenix, AZ


“Winn was an essential support for me as I was launching my coaching business. From the spiritual to the practical, she helped me focus and progress and stay grounded and trusting as I went. She's got a big heart and well-tested tools. I'm grateful for our time together!”

— Danya Shults, Executive Coach & Startup Advisor, Los Angeles


“Winn is the reason why I had the courage to leave my old job and pursue my dream business. Once I started my 1:1 coaching with Winn, I knew that I had nothing to fear because I had the best support system I could have ever asked for. I came to Winn for practical, actionable, and strategic ways to grow my business, and amazingly, I gained so much more than that. Winn helped me learn how to get comfortable with taking risks, heal mental blocks I didn't even know were holding me back, and encouraged me to listen to my intuition. Winn also encouraged me to raise my prices, which led me to earn 3 times more in my new business than I used to make in my old job! I cannot thank her enough for getting me out of my unhealthy relationship with money. I truly believe Winn is so valuable for every entrepreneur because she is such a visionary. Thank you, Winn, for changing my life!”

— June Suepunpuck, Joy Guide, Speaker, Host of the How to Find Joy Podcast, Columbus OH


“I have had an amazing experience working with Winn. From 1:1 coaching to group sessions, Winn is a steady, wise voice in my life and business. She has made me feel stretched, encouraged, and helped me find my own clarity.”

— Madeleine Weiring, Co-Owner, Papillon Press


“I was referred to Winn when I had a tiny idea for a business but no clue how to actually make it happen. She helped guide me on a journey for which I will forever be grateful. Winn’s personalized touch made me feel like I was the only client she had. She is attentive, encouraging, and always thinking of ways to help me grow. She was also so understanding and supportive when a lot of challenges popped up in my personal life. Winn literally helped me through the most difficult times I’ve ever experienced and is an incredible coach. She believed in me when I didn’t have the strength to believe in myself. So much has changed in my life and I have pivoted in so many ways since we first started working together but she has pivoted with me and been there to support me as my needs and focus shifted. I am so grateful to always have her cheering me on.”

— Laura Behnke, Writer, Speaker, and Host, California.


“I reached out to Winn when I hit a plateau with my work. I thought she would just help me figure out the next step in my business, but instead she helped me find my creative voice, which brought clarity to everything - even things I didn't realize I had been trying to untangle on my own. Her experience and empathy has changed how I view my creative work and myself, too.”

— Sara Harding, Robert & Stella
