“The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.”
– Joseph Campbell
For many years I felt torn between “two worlds”.
The “corporate” world in which I held demanding leadership roles in consulting firms and corporate strategy. And the “spiritual” world in which I had set out on a journey of deep and devoted self-discovery, immersing myself in Yoga, Psychology & Buddhism.
I finally came to realise that these parallel “worlds” did not have to be separate. As the common denominator, I could hold space for both. I could be the Alchemist of different skills and tools fuelling each other, enhancing one another.
I also discovered that the connecting thread that underpinned the fabric of everything I did, was the pursuit of depth, truth and transformation.
Today, my soul’s purpose is to guide people back to their inner compass.
To empower them to reconnect with their own self and purpose. And support their transformation by giving them the practical guidance to live a life in tune with their truest needs and desires.
It’s about bridging the gap between the “inner” and the “outer” world, the mind and the heart, whilst leveraging ancient wisdom and modern-day tools.
I should say that the unfolding path of self-discovery, unearthing of limiting beliefs and inquiring within the subconscious isn’t always easy. It’s unpredictable, sometimes terrifying and takes courage. But it’s also the only way to radiance, meaning and fulfilment. And yet, everyone needs help on this journey. And I’d love to support you on yours.
Through the spaces I hold and services I offer, I create what I would like to experience myself. A blend of deep inner work for the Mind, Body and Soul – calling on ancient wisdom whilst leveraging my strategic, design and facilitation abilities to create offerings that are grounded, intentional and highly impactful.
It is this blend of old and new, ancient and modern, fluidity and structure that sets me apart and what I leverage intuitively to create the results you desire.
Values
The values I uphold as a coach and mentor are what drive and motivate me every day. They lie at the heart of everything I stand for and believe in.
Radical compassion, kindness and love for who you are, what you uncover and where you are in any given moment, creating safety and space for your perfectly imperfect self.
Acceptance
Willingness to take charge of your own life with a continual commitment to ‘do the work’, ‘show up for yourself ’ and have the courage to make empowered choices.
Responsibility
The capacity to deeply listen to the messages held within the body, mind and spirit, to learn from ancient knowledge and modern science and leverage our lived experience, judgement and intuition.
Wisdom
Passion for the creation of meaningful, lasting and transformative change, not just for the individual, but for the ‘ripple effect’ on the people around them and the collective.

I would personally trust her with my darkest fears and brightest dreams. I could not recommend her more highly as a trusted ally to help chaperone down the road less traveled."
