FOR WOMEN NAVIGATING LIFE'S SHIFTS

I qualified as an ICF-accredited, certified ACC professional and transformational coach in 2022, adding this training to my existing teaching practice. This step not only enhanced the way I teach but also opened the door to working with women one-on-one and in groups.
Through my own experiences, I’ve come to understand how easy it is to neglect ourselves. We often push our needs aside without even realizing it. And when we do recognize them, guilt can follow—as if wanting more for ourselves is selfish. Fear, self-doubt, and limiting beliefs are often already there. They leave us feeling stuck, unworthy, and disconnected from who we are — and make it hard to trust ourselves.

We can fall into the trap of victimhood, believing life happens to us rather than through us. But true empowerment comes when we take ownership of our choices, mindset, and the way we show up in the world. It’s not easy—I’m still very much a work in progress.

Imposter syndrome first hit me in my advertising career, leading to panic attacks and an eating disorder. Life continued to challenge me (and still does) —marriage, motherhood, and the loss of a parent—each stage bringing its own hurdles. From those moments, I’ve gained wisdom, resilience, and a deepening empathy that continue to shape my life.
One thing’s for sure: nothing stays the same, and life is always changing—sometimes in big ways, and other times in small, everyday shifts.
It’s not always dramatic or obvious. Sometimes it’s just a feeling: stuck, disconnected, or like you’ve lost a bit of yourself along the way.

Life will always bring its ups and downs, but we still have the power to choose how we respond. When we meet challenges—big or small—with honesty and courage, we grow.

Outside of work, I spend time with family and friends, love watching trashy Netflix series, and like nothing more than being on the dance floor!  I love walking, listening to music and getting outside. I enjoy travelling to sunny places, watching sunsets, and generally hanging out on beaches. I practice yoga, but more as a fun way to move and unwind. I have quite a cheeky sense of humour and value any opportunity to laugh deeply.
