About me

In my mid-thirties, I had a quiet but pivotal realisation: I had become exceptionally good at meeting expectations - building the career, hitting the goals, and doing what made sense on paper. I measured my worth by output.

Like many high achievers, I learned early how to be disciplined, capable, and resilient. I became very good at delivering - and very good at absorbing other people’s definitions of “success”. Somewhere along the way, I started unconsciously making decisions that would impress, be approved of, or keep everyone happy.

But I hadn’t built the life alongside it.

I wanted a partner and children, yet I’d barely given that part of my life the same intention I'd given my career. I was busy achieving, travelling, optimising everything - work, diet, fitness, habits - always moving toward the next milestone.

From the outside, it looked like success.

From the inside, misalignment began to surface: a longing for family, and a deeper pull toward impact, health, and living more intentionally.

I had loved many parts of my work - the people, the learning, the high-pace building, the problem-solving. And yet I could also see moments where I hadn’t followed through on my own dreams. Not because I lacked ability, but because I was listening too loudly to external expectations, and too quietly to myself.

​​Across every chapter, the work I was most drawn to was always the same: the deeper conversations - coaching, advising, and helping someone find clarity when the stakes were high.

Then my body started to speak more clearly.

I didn’t burn out, but I came close - a slow accumulation of signals from operating at full intensity for too long in both work and my personal life. Most importantly, whilst not fully aligned nor honest with myself about what I actually wanted. 

That was when things began to shift.

With the space and support of a coach and a few trusted guides, I learned how to regulate my nervous system, reconnect with my body, and hear myself clearly again. I immersed myself in practices that helped me come home to myself - yoga, meditation, breathwork, sound, and deep reflection - alongside psychology and spirituality. I began to recognise the patterns and beliefs that had been running the show, and to get honest about the life I truly wanted to create.

And then, slowly, it started to arrive: a relocation, a family, and a new role. I wasn’t ready to take the risk of building another business yet, so I returned to venture capital - supporting founders and staying close to innovation - while a deeper desire kept growing in the background: to support intentional living, and help people choose their direction rather than drift into it.

Motherhood brought the lesson into sharp focus.

Building a family made it impossible to keep operating at 200% across every domain without cost. I had to prioritise - and I realised that if I was going to be away from my children, it had to be for something that truly mattered. Choosing this path has been one of the scariest - and most rewarding - decisions of my life: creating something I’m proud of, and hearing directly from clients about the impact we create together.

And underneath it all, a thread I’ve carried since I was young resurfaced again: I’ve always been drawn to helping people live healthier, more intentional, more sustainable lives - to lead themselves well, and create ripple effects in the communities around them.

That’s why the work I do now isn’t about pushing people harder. It’s about helping high-performing people lead themselves - their minds, their nervous systems, their decisions - so they can live and lead with courage, integrity and conviction, without losing themselves in the process.

If this resonates, the next step is simple: book a conversation, and we’ll explore whether working together feels like the right fit.
