About Me…

I work with ambitious women — mums and founders — who look capable on the outside but feel stretched underneath it all.

You’ve built something. A business. A career. A family. A life that works on paper.

But somewhere along the way, everything started depending on you.

Decisions come back to you.
Emotions land with you.
Standards are held by you.

And while you care deeply about what you’ve built, you’re tired of carrying it all.

That’s where I come in.

My Background

A group of children and a woman on a nature walk, the girl in leopard print holding a stick, others smiling, in a wooded area with bare trees and shrubs. A mother, busy founder, business woman and leader taking great care of her children.

Before coaching, I spent 17 years in senior operational leadership roles, most recently as an Area Director overseeing 14 sites and more than 300 team members within a £2m+ portfolio.

I understand growth.
I understand pressure.
And I understand what it feels like when success quietly turns into over-responsibility.

Today, I’m an ICF-accredited Business and Personal Coach. I combine lived leadership experience with professional coaching practice to help women lead in a way that is calm, clear and sustainable.

I’m also a very proud mum of three gorgeous babies!

How I Work

A woman standing in a bookstore aisle labeled fiction, holding a book and smiling at the camera. Warm approachable and supportive coach who can help.

Did you know coaches don’t actually tell you what to do? I help you see that the answers were inside all along.

I create space for you to slow down, think clearly, and tell the truth about what’s actually happening.

Then we build from there.

For founders, that often means:

  • Clarifying decision rights

  • Strengthening team ownership

  • Moving from over-functioning to structured leadership

For women and mums, it often means:

  • Rebuilding confidence

  • Strengthening boundaries

  • Making decisions that align with who you are now — not who you were five years ago

My work is practical, direct and values-led. You won’t get fluff. You’ll get clarity, accountability and steady support.

What I Believe

A woman in hiking gear standing on rocks in front of a crater lake with hillside and blue sky in the background. Leader, confidence, great mindset, calm and prepared.

You don’t need to do more.

You need to carry less.

Leadership — at work and at home — is not about how much you care. It’s about what people can rely on when you’re not there.

If you’re ready to step out of the daily grind and lead your life properly, I’d love to talk.
