about me

My Story

People are my passion and always will be. I like to listen more than I talk, to observe, to seek to understand and to always be kind.

I spent 12 years in the corporate world, in Consumer Insight and Marketing Research, travelling the globe and speaking to people in their homes about their lives, their children, their passions and pain points. I absolutely loved it — but when my first child was born, my focus shifted. I began to deep dive into the psychology and physiology of new mothers, a path that led me to retrain as a doula, childbirth educator and birth trauma counsellor, and eventually to leave corporate employment altogether after the birth of my second child.

I have continued to build a life on my own terms, combining facilitation, training and coaching with raising my now teenage children abroad. There have been times of great challenge in my life — motherhood, ill health, career stress, moving a young family across the world and many more — and each time, I've found my way to an incredible mentor, coach or wise elder who has guided me through the transition and into calmer waters. I am privileged and honoured to pass this on through my coaching practice. I may not have faced your particular set of circumstances, but I know what it's like to feel alone, unheard, confused or buffeted by conflicting opinions and advice.
