And if I had to guess how people who know me would describe me, it’d go something like this:
The calm in the chaos.
A walking pep talk.
A bit dorky, a lot deep.
Part big sister, part coach, part “you’ve totally got this” energy.
The one who’ll hand you the mic, remind you who you are, and cheer the loudest when you take up space.
Warm, welcoming, and wildly obsessed with helping others fill their full potential.
So welcome to my world where the mess meets magic, the wild meets the wise and showing up as your whole self isn’t just allowed… it’s the whole damn point.
Stick around - promise it will be fun.

From a childhood obsession with dolphins that fuelled a desire to be a marine biologist, to leaving university behind when it didn’t feel right, I’ve always been one to follow my gut - even if it meant stepping into the unknown. After years of exploring various roles, moving across the world, and diving deep into a people-centric career, I discovered the transformative power of coaching, and it changed my life. The sense of freedom and self-discovery I experienced from coaching ignited something inside me - a burning desire to help others feel that same liberation.
That fire now fuels everything I do - from 1:1 coaching, to speaking, to facilitating workshops that are contemporary, engaging, and genuinely impactful. I’m obsessed with growth - but the kind that sticks. The kind that shifts how people lead, live, and show up in the world.

Diversity and inclusion aren’t just buzzwords here - they’re a non-negotiable.
People of all races, genders, sexualities, abilities, and identities are not only welcomed in this space - they’re deeply valued.
Creating a space where all humans feel safe, seen, and respected is at the heart of what I do.
You can read my full commitment to inclusion, equity, and belonging below.
And I believe it’s important you know what I stand for - not just what I do.
My values shape how I show up, how I hold space, and how I support others to grow.
If we’re going to work together, I want you to feel confident that we’re aligned - not just in goals, but in how we get there.
This is what matters to me.
It’s how I live, lead, and love the work I do.
If these resonate? We’re probably a good fit.
I’m all about that regulated nervous system life. Nothing like a chronic stress diagnosis to make you appreciate it.
Calm isn’t passive - it’s powerful. It’s the grounded, anchored kind of presence that lets me show up fully (and not lose myself in the chaos). Peace is my home base.
I take care of my WHOLE self - body, mind, and soul - not because I “should,” but because I want to feel alive
and vibrant in my life. And that all begins with holistic health.
Strong. Present. Capable. Clear.
I’ve learnt that energy is everything, and mine is sacred.
I don’t do boxes. Freedom, for me, means living in alignment with my truth - not the one someone else picked for me. It’s about choice, self-expression, and building a life that feels like mine, from the inside out.
It’s having agency over how I spend my time + what I create.
My people are everything. Whether it’s my ride-or-die crew, the little ones I’m raising, or the chosen fam I’ve collected along the way - I lead with love, show up for the moments that matter, and keep it all real at home before anywhere else. Family keeps me anchored in what matters most.
