“I am a transformational coach who believes that when we find space to tune in, listen and connect, we reclaim our sense of self.
With this self-awareness, we can define our strengths and qualities, find motivation and courage to shift out of our area of comfort, then tap into our true potential”
My Story
The Pink Shop
On my eighth birthday, my father built me a pink, plywood shop where I sold a variety of non-perishables to my family and neighbours. Being curious, I recognised that I loved asking people questions and enjoyed seeing people satisfied when I gave them the goods. It truly gave me joy.
As life began to take different twists and turns following my own trauma at a young age, I became disconnected and affected by those around me. Feeling confused and overwhelmed, I became a people-pleaser, feeling stuck and lost for many years. I struggled massively with my mental health, and I felt alone, desperate and inadequate.
Fifteen years ago, I discovered the benefits of meditation. It is here that I started to reconnect and tune in. At first, it was uncomfortable, awkward and I was incredibly vulnerable. But as I continued to practice, I discovered the power of the breath feeling more grounded, calmer, and balanced.
Since then, I have been practicing meditation and breath work daily, enjoying trail runs in nature, as well as teaching these benefits and techniques to others.
During this time, I became inspired by Steve Jobs's 'Joining the Dots' concept. Through this, when I looked back and mapped my earliest memories to date, it was here that I remembered my little Pink Shop. At this moment, I was clear that my purpose was to serve people and help them discover their needs, just as I had when I had from my Pink Shop.
The reality is that I have been serving people throughout my whole career - from management roles to product training, teaching yoga and meditation, and, importantly, raising a family. Whatever the role, I want the best for people, help them find what they want, and see them thrive.
This journey led to my recognising that my mission in life is to coach. It is my true passion, and I love to see people transform by connecting, exploring and believing in themselves. I am now a certified Positive Mental Health Coach, specialising in transformational coaching - best decision I ever made.
Helping people at midlife
As a transformation coach, my role is to help individuals who are lost, stuck or unfulfilled during midlife to explore their innate qualities and strengths in a safe and trusting space.
For many, midlife is when we reflect upon our lives, look at who we've become, and note where we are headed. We realise that our life is finite, and the clock is ticking. This can create a sudden urgency to get it all sorted, but we are often unsure where to start. We can begin to feel stuck, anxious, overwhelmed with the idea of change.
Midlife is the perfect time to check-in, 'join the dots', and review where we need to head. I see my role as a transformational coach as passionately working and supporting people to celebrate where they are now and where they want to go.

The key to getting unstuck is finding space.

Coaching has helped me
Without a coach I would not be doing what I’m doing now.
I resisted coaching for along time because I was worried about the expense - I regret that! Coaching has enabled me to recognise my strengths and become conscious of how they play out in my everyday life. Coaching keeps me on track, makes me accountable and empowers me to step seriously out of my comfort zone and accomplish more than ever. Coaching has invited me to become grateful for what I have instead of bitter about what I don’t have. It’s been amazing value and continues to add value to all that I do. It has truly transformed me.
