about me

What inspires me is seeing the beauty and potential emerge in those I work with no matter the setting...

​

Whether it's through coaching, teaching, mentoring, or creative collaboration, I’m continually moved by the ways individuals grow when they are seen, supported and encouraged to reconnect with their authentic selves.

​

Originally from America, I am an EMCC Global-accredited Life & Leadership Coach, bringing over a decade of experience in the wellness sector. My approach is shaped by a rich and diverse background: I’m also a professional actor and voice-over artist, a yoga teacher, a Reiki Master, a Mental Health First Aider, and I hold a BA in Biology. These threads weave together to inform my holistic, grounded and intuitive style of coaching and leadership.

​

Throughout my leadership journey in the wellness industry, I have had the privilege of mentoring and coaching emerging managers and leaders, helping them navigate change, step into their potential and lead with authenticity and confidence. I have developed and facilitated seminars on a range of topics including managing mental health in the workplace, effective communication and conflict resolution and supporting employees’ return to work after prolonged absence - including guiding organisations through the collective transition back to work after pandemic-related furloughs.

​

I am deeply passionate about personal transformation, conscious leadership and the power of mindful living. As a coach, my aim is to guide individuals to come home to themselves - living with presence, kindness, compassion, grace and gratitude. I support those I work with to reconnect with their wholeness and express that truthfully and courageously, both in their personal lives and professional spheres.

​

I am an avid traveller, walker (3 pilgrimage walks in Spain and more to come, I hope!) and truth-seeker. I continue to walk the path of personal growth and discovery, peeling back the layers and masks we all put on ourselves over time, rediscovering my own purity of heart, mind, and spirit. It's a work in progress for us all!
