I am proud to partner with Underground Moves–a standalone employee assistance program (EAP) that allows employers and organizations to address the needs of individuals experiencing domestic violence (DV). To ensure safety, we deliver services via a platform that’s unrecognizable to anyone other than the survivor. There, they can access skill-building resources, critical services, and an ongoing support network.
Created by and for survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV), Underground Moves simplifies a complex issue by giving employers the resources they need to empower their employees.
If you’re not sure where to start with mental and physical wellness in your personal life or business/organization, let’s start with a conversation. We can talk about your situation and determine your needs and go from there!

🎆 Do Something 2025 Women's Retreat! 🎆
I had the honor of being a speaker and sharing my personal journey alongside some truly inspiring women. The testimonies from all the speakers were beyond words, and I was grateful for the opportunity to connect with so many amazing ladies during and after the event.
I also set up a table to share more about my journey with You Matter and Damsel in Defense, offering resources and personal safety items to further my mission of healing and safety.
A huge shoutout to Vickie Smith, the mastermind behind this retreat. Her hospitality and servant leadership were unmatched. I wholeheartedly recommend attending next year; it was a blessing for everyone present.
People came from all over Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York, and we were treated to some amazing homemade meals. It truly was a weekend to remember! 🥰
