About Me

My journey to holistic coaching began long before I ever imagined it would become my calling. As a young child, I struggled with severe breathing problems, which meant spending a great deal of time unwell and away from school. I often felt isolated, watching life go by from the sidelines while trying to navigate the physical and emotional challenges of being a sick child. These early experiences shaped my understanding of how deeply our physical health can affect our emotional wellbeing, our sense of belonging, and the way we experience the world.

My desire to care for others led me into nursing and later midwifery. These professions gave me valuable insight into the human experience, the importance of compassion, and the privilege of supporting people through some of life's most vulnerable moments. However, I gradually became disillusioned by the lack of emphasis on prevention, emotional wellbeing, and the deeper factors that influence our health. I began to recognise that caring for the whole person involves so much more than treating symptoms; it requires understanding the connections between mind, body, emotions, relationships, and life experiences.

Life then took me on its own journey of love, family, challenges, and change. I became a mother, and my eldest child had additional needs, bringing both profound love and unique challenges. Following a painful divorce, I remarried and welcomed an extended family into my life. It was a wonderfully rich, yet demanding, chapter filled with love, growth, and responsibility. As I tried to meet the needs of those around me, I gradually lost touch with my own. Juggling so many commitments eventually led to burnout and the development of chronic fatigue. My body was asking me to stop, listen, and find a different way of living.

What initially felt like a devastating setback became the beginning of one of the most meaningful journeys of my life. I turned towards study, self-development, self-healing, and a deeper exploration of what it truly means to be well. I began to question old patterns, reconnect with myself, and discover the profound relationship between our physical health, emotional world, mindset, and sense of purpose. Through this process of learning and transformation, I came to understand that healing is rarely about one single answer; it is about finding the right balance, nurturing ourselves with compassion, and creating the conditions in which we can thrive.

Today, my journey has brought me to holistic coaching, where I can bring together my professional experience, personal insights, and everything I have learnt along the way. I know what it feels like to struggle, to feel disconnected, to put everyone else first, and to reach a point where something has to change. I also know the hope that comes from discovering new perspectives, reconnecting with yourself, and realising that a different way forward is possible. My purpose is to share not only what I have learnt, but also the wisdom and understanding gained through my own lived experience, supporting others to explore their wellbeing, reconnect with their inner resources, and create meaningful, lasting change. I believe that when we begin to care for ourselves as whole human beings, we create a ripple effect that touches our families, our communities, and the world around us. And so, here I am, bringing together all that I have learnt and all that I am, with a heartfelt desire to make my small part of the universe a better place.
