Life Coaching for Smart Women at a Crossroads

Creative Female Entrepreneurs



I find immense joy in sharing the invaluable lessons I've learned throughout my journey leading a successful exhibition design agency for more than 25 years.
My coaching style is a fusion of creativity, strategy, and unwavering support, using a combination of CBT, NLP and EFT modalities and I use a unique psychometric assessment for resilience & wellbeing at work (Wraw).
I believe that within each of us lies the strength to tackle life's challenges and that we don't need to "have it all"; we just deserve to have what we truly desire.
