She became a woman who...

About

My mission is to help women reclaim their power by understanding their unique story and how it shapes their lives.

​

I work with women who are ready to accept themselves for all that they are, have been, and will become. Women who truly want to find their own voice and allow their bodies to ease into a new phase of life. This is a space for those where external validation no longer holds its allure, preferring the quiet peace and assurance within their own being. For the woman who willingly ventures into the woods alone, breathing deep and trusting the rhythm of her own lifeforce.

 

If you sense that your next chapter belongs not to outdated stories, but to the stories you haven’t yet told, this is where you can begin.

About Me

I became a woman who breathes deep, embracing her edges.
Leaving behind her shallow life, cherishing soulful conversations and telling stories of gentle strength. 
Who walks windswept hills, swims icy waters and a grower of magical plants. 
She who paints fairytale flowers, reminding her that even after the darkest night something beautiful can bloom.

My credentials

I am too scientific for some, too experiential for others. I love rigorous academic research and stories ordinary life that inspire the world. Afer qualifying as a Chartered Occupational Psychologist, (British Psychological and previously HPCP registered) I spent time in academic research and teaching. I moved into global consulting specialising in leadership team development for BBC Radio, BASF, Coca Cola, Nokia, and UK government departments HM Treasury, Cabinet Office, DWP.  At the same time I qualified as an integrative psychotherapist (Depth psychology, Hypnosis, Parts Therapy, Strategic Brief Therapy, EMDR, EFT, Transactional Analysis) and then yoga therapist. I managed a small practice in my home city, Liverpool and today based in the Scotish highlands most of my work is online. I coach, host workshops, a daily embodied sangha and produce UK inspirational events including several TedX's. I am taking baby steps, becoming an artist, my childhood dream.
