My story
I know what it’s like to look accomplished on the outside while quietly feeling unfulfilled inside. My path to becoming a transformational coach was anything but straightforward, it was shaped through resilience, loss, and the choice to begin again.
I grew up caring for my mother, who struggled with addiction and depression. In that environment, I learned to be silent, unseen and carried more responsibility than a child should. I promised myself that when she passed away, I would finally live life for me, embracing freedom and show myself to the world. But when that time came, grief and responsibility lingered and the idea of putting myself first felt both challenging and unfamiliar.
In my twenties, I travelled across Asia and California and eventually found myself at Burning Man, where I met my husband and later built a life in San Diego. That marriage turned abusive and nearly cost me my life. Returning to living in the UK with only a suitcase of my belongings, I started over. With the support of my friends, my sister and an extraordinary therapist, I rebuilt myself - discovering how healing, forgiveness and courage can reshape your life.
While working in performance and events, I spent time around wealthy, powerful people who seemed to “have it all.” But beneath the surface many were burnt out, restless, lonely and unfulfilled. Their challenges mirrored my own, the constant pressure, perfectionism and relentless drive to perform. It became clear to me that professional achievement isn’t everything.
The death of my best friend became a defining moment. It reminded me how fragile life is and how connection, meaning and presence matter far more than appearances. It sparked a deeper realisation, I wanted to do work which genuinely added value to people’s lives.
That’s why I became a coach. I support my clients to reconnect with themselves, reclaim their vitality and live with clarity and aliveness. Alongside my lived experience, I am trained with the Animas Centre for Coaching, the UK’s leading transformational coaching school. I take great pride in pouring energy, creativity and care into every client relationship.
My approach blends deep coaching conversations with creative, soulful elements drawn from my passions of art, fashion design, painting, reading, wellness and travel. I find it endlessly inspiring to learn what lights people up and their passions, motivations and dreams.
And if you ask my secret to happiness? It’s finding the fun in each day, living as if it were your birthday, embracing joy and relishing every delicious moment.
My philosophy
We’ve been sold the idea that success is measured by money, titles and professional achievements. But true success is richer found in health, connection, passion and the spark that makes life feel truly alive.
Life is happening right now and you’ve got one precious opportunity to live it fully. It takes courage to be honest with yourself and determination to prioritise what truly matters. When you do, everything you achieve becomes more meaningful and deeply fulfilling.
We each have the chance to write a story worth living and one we’re proud to call our own.
The question is: are you ready to write yours?
“Sometimes we get caught up in our troubles and our problems and we let life slip away, but life is precious, all of life and one must try to take in as much of it as possible.” — Yanni
