About Me.
Author, Coach & Learning Strategist
I invite individuals to embrace their contradictions, challenge their own narratives, and step into the fullness of their own power, one courageous choice at a time. Weaving art, science and technology to create unique experiences that wrap around my clients.
I am a writer, speaker, coach, and learning strategist with a passion for uncovering the hidden layers of human experience, whether through education, psychology, or personal exploration. I spent twenty years inside big, fast-moving organisations turning strategy into behaviour and at the intersection of business, behavioral science, and storytelling.
Think: taking a new platform to 130,000 people, securing a mid–six-figure enterprise learning deal, and steadying teams through change when the wheels felt wobbly. My lane was people and culture: shaping rituals, decision-making and story so the poster on the wall matched what happened on a Tuesday afternoon. I partnered with directors and the C-suite through restructures, re-brands and adoption at scale.
Now I coach the humans behind the targets. Founders, senior leaders and high performers sitting in the in-between. High-functioning but holding their breath.
We work with the nervous system first, then narrative, then movement: regulate, tell the truth, take the next clean step. It is hands on, practical, humane, and with no drama. You will walk away a different person, and it is the kind of work that shows up in culture and the P&L.
Beyond the corporate world, I am a keen observer of human nature, driven by an insatiable curiosity about identity, relationships, and personal transformation. My writing delves into the complexities of self-discovery, sensuality, sexuality, and the intricate dance between knowledge and freedom.
I explore what it means to step beyond societal expectations and reclaim one’s true self.
My own journey - from imposter syndrome to creative autonomy- this arc is the backbone of my work. I’m a lifelong learner with a Cum Laude degree in Psychology and Anthropology and certifications in coaching, leadership, and trauma-informed practice.
And when I am not writing or coaching, you’ll find me immersed in motherhood, rituals, dancing, creating and exploring the world.

A background in psychology and anthropology equips me with deep insight into human behavior, identity, and cultural conditioning, key to guiding transformative personal growth. My expertise in communication science enhances my ability to connect, listen, and articulate complex emotions, while education and religious studies provide a holistic, ethical, and inclusive approach to coaching. This unique blend allows me to help clients break limiting patterns, build self-awareness, and navigate change with clarity and confidence
