dj, mindset coach & creator @thereuniondanceparty

While everyone was buying homes, getting married and having kids, I was throwing down at my first ever rave (at the age of 31) with a bunch of 20 year old boys– and it changed my life. I left feeling so alive, so inspired and with a remembering of who I really am.

At the time, I was a Mindset Coach for entrepreneurial women, which felt like a far cry from my new life of adorning myself in glitter and sometimes rolling into bed at 3am.

But something about that experience unlocked something I couldn’t ignore: “Every woman needs this”,

By December 2023, I had become more public about my secret raver life and my online community was asking me to throw a dance party. I was also curious about DJing, but wasn’t doing anything about it. In the mindset world, it’s said, to bring a goal to life, you must do two things: tell someone and put a date to it.

And so, on Christmas Day in 2023, I made a public declaration: in 30 days, I would throw a dance party – and to force myself to learn how to DJ, I was going to DJ it.

What followed was an intense month of learning everything I could about sound, DJing, and live events. What would end up being the first REUNION Dance Party (@thereuniondanceparty) was a wild sold-out success, so much so, that we doubled our capacity and did it again the next month.

That year, I went from not being a DJ on January 1st to DJing 50+ gigs (including a wedding and the New Year’s Eve ball drop at Toronto Harbourfront). REUNION grew from a 30 person party to a 500 person party in the span of a year, and has since toured from coast to coast across Canada and has earned accolades in media outlets such as Narcity Canada.

Whether I’m throwing down with thousands of women on the REUNION Dance floor, spinning behind the decks as a DJ or coaching women, my mission remains the same: to help women to remember who they are so they can do the damn thing they’re meant to do in the world.
