When I arrived at 40, I was met with a sense of urgency.

I suddenly saw my life from a different perspective; right from the top of the hill. Then came a question – how did I want to spend the next 40 years?  I began to look for meaning in a different way – I thought about how I could create a lifestyle of fun and of freedom – one that drew on my life experiences, passions and purpose.

I reflected. Then came the lightbulb. But first, a little history.

I started out as a Marketer – agency-side. Demanding, fast-paced, creative and lots of fun.

A real turning point came for me during a meeting with a huge, national client.

That meeting was about strategy. We spent two whole hours discussing what the colour blue meant. I left that meeting with a troubling question – was this it?

What am I truly here for, and how can I really add value? What was my purpose, how could I use what I knew to help others? My drive was awakened, a new direction was calling.

In the agency world, you get a brief from the client, deadlines are agreed, you brainstorm, strategise, then watch the idea unfold. I wondered, “what if that same energy was channelled into doing things for ourselves; from idea to deadline – like that of our clients? Imagine what we could do, imagine the possibilities, the momentum and the energy, if we just committed, fully, to when we were going to do it?”

I had to Shake my World Up. I switched career (without hesitation). And so a new chapter began – one in which I was using my insight in the charity sector to empower young people in their wellbeing, emotional intelligence, enterprise and educational aspiration. Coaching was a catalyst for this and cultivating the confidence in all my clients was the glue that bound it all together.

I have been a fully accredited Personal & Intuitive Coach for nearly a decade now, coaching 100’s of folks with a treasure trove of awaiting potential. In my spare time I have gifted my time to train over 100 Youngpreneurs and train and supervise aspirant coaches​.

In 2012 I received an MA in Psychodynamic Approaches to working at the world leading Tavistock and Portman Clinic, and was invited to share the essence of my work with a Tedx Talk for Whitehall Women .

Travel has always been a primary love of mine. Last year, I up-skilled in all things digital marketing and spent the winter in Costa Rica working from my laptop – palm trees as my backdrop, the ocean as my view.

Then came another defining moment. I decided that my energies, passions and expertise would, from here on in, be focused on my first loves. My coaching practice would make the jump online to support others to realise their ambitions too. That’s what I am here for. It shakes up the world of my clients and lights up mine.
