about me

For over 15 years, I’ve been helping people connect to their inner compass, take purposeful action, and thrive in the complexity of today’s world. As a coach and facilitator, I work with individuals and organisations to unlock potential, foster resilience, and create meaningful, systemic change.

My coaching journey began when I founded Graft, a charity working towards eradicating barriers to employment for disadvantaged people. It was during this time that I realised the biggest barriers weren’t just external systems or lack of opportunities—it was often the inner beliefs holding people back. That insight lit a fire in me, and in 2007, I became a certified coach.

Visionary Leadership for a Changing World

The world is changing rapidly, and leaders need more than traditional skills to navigate it. I partner with people who are ready to challenge the status quo and create a positive, far-reaching impact. Drawing on my experience working with organisations like the House of Commons, Shell, and AQA, I bring a combination of deep empathy and systemic thinking to help cultivate sustainable, regenerative leadership.

I aim to create a space that combines depth and lightness—where you feel safe to explore and grow while also taking meaningful, practical steps forward. My approach blends embodied and nature-based practices, helping you align with your core values and unlock the creative flow needed to meet today’s challenges.

Living Authentically, Leading Courageously

I believe that radical shifts are possible—in our families, communities, and organisations—when we’re brave enough to show up authentically and support one another to do the same.

Over the years, I’ve developed a grounded perspective through my work in project management, founding and running a nonprofit, and coaching leaders in startups and multinational organisations. These experiences have shaped my understanding of what it takes to lead with purpose, clarity, and courage.

I live on a smallholding in rural Gloucestershire with my two teenage daughters, surrounded by nature, which constantly inspires me. I’m deeply passionate about fostering flourishing, regenerative communities and helping leaders like you embody your unique strengths to create meaningful impact.
