Track record
Brands like yours trust me behind the dashboard
Twenty years in retention marketing: email, SMS, and loyalty, with a specialty in health, wellness, and education brands built around a trusted expert. A relevant pair:
Honeylove
Fractional retention lead for a ten-figure women's shapewear brand. The first automation I built became one of the brand's top revenue drivers within weeks, and I was brought on to run retention as the brand scaled.
Relevant to you because Honeylove's email is design-forward, brand-voice-sensitive, and speaks to women about intimate topics with warmth instead of cringe. That's your lane too.
Email + SMS design and strategy for a 10-figure women's brand
Personal Development School
Founder-led education brand (attachment theory) with one of the largest email lists in the personal development category. I run their email program end to end on ActiveCampaign: deliverability strategy, migration, automations, and campaigns.
Relevant to you because it's the same shape as your business: a trusted expert founder, a content engine, webinar-style funnels, and a subscription product that email has to sell without burning out the list.

Dear friends,
When I lived as a monk in Thailand, I remember sitting quietly with my teacher one morning after meditation.
I was trying hard to “get it right” — to be like my teachers, to 'not think', to look like a Zen statue.
He just smiled and said,
That simple reminder changed how I practice — and how I teach mindfulness today. Because mindfulness isn’t about achieving something special. It’s about meeting life as it is, with care, curiosity, and compassion. Even when it's messy.
And when we do that — whether in a coaching session, a classroom, a therapy room, or with our own families — something powerful happens: people begin to feel safe enough to grow.
We're more authentic. We're real. We're not ashamed to be however we are.
There's an element of acceptance that shines through... Which is what everyone wants, deep down.
Acceptance...

The opposite discipline: a founder-voice letter for an expert-led education brand, complete with a one-tap segmentation survey that quietly builds the audience data behind future targeting. Same operator, completely different voice. That is the entire point. Scroll to read the full send.
