Over 25 years ago, I had a vision of growing a fashion business from my kitchen table to somewhere a little more... swanky. And while I did move beyond the kitchen table (the swankiness is still up for debate), the journey taught me more than business manual ever could.

Building a business from scratch through changing markets, global uncertainty, and personal pressures taught me what it really means to commit to a dream. It showed me how to hold onto values, navigate complexity, remain relevant  in a constantly changing market place and still find time for family and the kind of quiet moments that preserve our sense of self.

In 2020, I shifted direction. I stepped away from my business to retrain with The Coaching Academy as a Professional and Personal Development Coach, accredited by the ICF. This marked the start of a new chapter - one where I could combine practical experience with coaching methodologies to support others on their own journeys.

Now, I work with women in leadership, CEOs, and small business owners  and their staff, to help them find clarity, confidence, and momentum. Through tailored coaching and deep listening, I support both business, private and professionals, as well as those across learning communities - to see the opportunities beyond the obstacles, and to reconnect with a sense of purpose in both life and work.

Two years ago I was invited back to the Coaching Academy, where I trained, to mentor their students as they progressed through their own Diplomas, whether PPD, Education or Small Business Development (all part of the Courses offered by the Coaching Academy). This mentoring covers a very broad range of topics which allows me to be flexible and agile in my mentoring processes to ensure that each student leaves the sessions with more tools and skills to help them become fully qualified Coaches.

I also run my own workshops on Business – Building with Intention  - as well as a Visionaries Business Clinic.

 ‘If you're ready to break through uncertainty and step boldly into growth, I'm here to guide you’.
