Before my story

There’s Yours

 You’re successful, respected, and seasoned.

You’ve built something solid. 

A career, a reputation, a way of leading that others trust.

But lately, something’s been stirring beneath the surface. 

It’s subtle, but undeniable.

You’re outgrowing a version of yourself.

The old strategies are starting to feel misaligned.

You don’t need fixing. You’re not lost.

Not because you’re not good enough, but because you’re about to step into a role your nervous system hasn’t yet caught up with.

This is the work we do together.

We explore who you’re becoming.

We create the safety to expand your capacity, shift your internal reference point, and meet your future self from a grounded place of clarity and choice.

A little about me…  

I’ve spent over 20 years in leadership roles within global organisations, working and living across Slovakia, Spain, the UAE, Vietnam, Japan, and the UK. 

I’ve led high-performing teams in complex, multicultural environments and I know first-hand what it means to navigate pressure, performance, identity, and visibility.

In January 2022, I left the corporate world to devote myself fully to coaching successful leaders, business owners, and their teams, helping them elevate both their performance and their wellbeing.

I now live in the coastal area of England, nestled between the sea and the New Forest National Park. 

The forest and the beach are both home to me. 

One grounds me in stillness, the other opens me to space. 

I’m fuelled by deep, soul-led relationships, and I’m a proud personal development nerd.
