I am a holistic and leadership coach and self-help author. For over 20 years I’ve supported people in their wellbeing and personal growth. My experience and varied background allows me to do deep, impactful work and I love sharing my expertise in ways that lift people up.
My background
I’ve had an unconventional career path starting with a 5 year degree in Traditional Chinese medicine (including 5 months in Beijing). I went on to practice acupuncture for 20 years both privately and on the NHS. In that time I also studied resistance stretching, energy work, shamanism and coaching. I worked with a wide range of clients from CEOs in the city (London’s financial district) to people living on the breadline, and everyone in between. This taught me a lot about what we all need as human beings to succeed and thrive.
In my work I also paid close attention to what made my clients feel most like themselves. I began to see the importance of self-expression and living to our fullest – not just in terms of satisfaction, but in physical and mental health. I realized that if we want to be healthy we need to be connected to our true selves and expressing that into the world in a way that feels genuine for us.
I have always marched to the beat of my own drum leading me to some interesting places and experiences. I have learned a lot from them and, while I am probably not the person you ask about corporate strategy, I have developed a strong intuition and ability to think outside of the box.
This is from my trip to Mongolia to visit shamans. It was a very impactful trip and I had a wonderful ceremony with a Dukha (reindeer herder people) shaman.
Travel has helped me to broaden my horizons considerably – you never know what you’re going to learn about people when you leave the day-to-day behind.
I truly care about my clients and helping them succeed. It is an honor to be able to support others in doing amazing things in the world and watching the ripple effects spread to many other people. My core philosophy is that we all have the abilities we need to succeed inside us innately – but we might need some help and guidance in expressing them.
If coaching with me feels like it might be a good fit for you, reach out for an intro call. I look forward to meeting you!
