I empower you to navigate your midlife journey with excitement and renewed energy, guiding you to unpack to get on track for a fulfilling second act.
My Story
Over the years, like so many women, I navigated the complex roles of mother, wife, daughter, and career woman, striving to meet societal expectations whilst grappling with a sense of disconnection from my true self.
This disconnection came to a head during a period of profound upheaval – a midlife divorce compounded by the sudden loss of my beloved father and the global pandemic which resulted in me losing my job. It was as if the universe had hit the reset button, urging me to take a closer look at the path I was on. These events shattered the illusion of my surface level reality, revealing a hollow emptiness and a longing for something more meaningful in my life.
​
My experience of divorce made me feel alone and lost, having been married for over twenty years it was not a process that could be quickly nipped in the bud. It was a process of untying and battles in court that were drawn out over a decade period and did not stop at the decree absolute.
​
Amidst the chaos of divorce and the uncertainties of a global pandemic, I faced a crossroads. Rather than succumb to despair, I saw an opportunity for profound personal transformation. I embarked on a journey of self-discovery and healing.
​
My path led me to confront deep-seated wounds from my past, particularly the trauma of childhood and being sent away to boarding school at a young age. These experiences left lasting scars that affected my relationships and self-image. Through the lens of trauma-informed coaching, I delved into these painful memories, finding healing and strength in the process.

What Inspired Me to Become a Coach?
Through my own healing journey, I discovered the profound impact of guidance and support in navigating life's challenges and transforming my pain into purpose.
This ignited a passion within me for supporting others through their own struggles and transitions. I underwent extensive training in various modalities, including divorce coaching, life coaching, trauma-informed techniques, and spiritual alignment. These experiences weren't just about acquiring certifications; they were about honing my skills and deepening my understanding of the human psyche.
Over the years I have been to many different specialist coaches and therapists to address the different areas of my life. My vision for my coaching practice was to create a holistic coaching service that would bring together the many modalities of coaching under one roof to address past, present and future bringing about deep, impactful and long-lasting results. I could see the sense of helping the whole person and not just a part.
Becoming a coach wasn't just a second career choice - it is a calling, born out of a desire to make a difference in the lives of others. I draw on the skills from my background in HR and Employment Law, a career that honed my passion for empathetically listening to colleagues and clients, helping them with their needs to create a desired outcome.
I firmly believe that with the right support and mindset, individuals can transcend the limitations of past traumas and unlock their inherent potential to live a life of meaningful fulfilment and happiness.
