About me
From leaving school at sixteen and working as a bricklayer’s labourer, to pursuing a passion for opera, and then navigating a 25-year career in IT including a decade teaching mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and coaching at Google, my life has been a journey of transformation.
What’s been constant is a commitment to authenticity. My own experience of burnout became a turning point. It led me to mindfulness and revealed a deeper calling: to help others reconnect with themselves and live with clarity and purpose.
For more than ten years, I’ve been supporting others through their own transitions, helping them find their way back to what truly matters.
Where are you on your journey? I’d be honoured to support you in taking the next step.
I’m trained in a blend of disciplines that reflect my own journey, from leadership and emotional intelligence to mindfulness and embodiment.
I’m an EMCC qualified Psychosynthesis Leadership Coach, with a deep interest in the human potential to grow, align, and lead with clarity. I also teach Search Inside Yourself, the mindfulness based emotional intelligence program developed at Google, which I’ve delivered to individuals and teams across the world.
Alongside this, I’m certified in Mindfulness for Health and Mindfulness for Stress through Breathworks, and I’ve completed 200 hours of yoga teacher training. This brings a body based depth to my work.
I bring this work to life with over two decades of experience in program management at global companies like Sony and Google, where I led complex initiatives in diverse teams across cultures. I’ve also explored the edges of human potential in other ways, including running ultramarathons and singing opera. These experiences shape how I show up, which is grounded, curious, and always exploring what it means to live fully.

What I Bring to This Work
Mindfulness for Real-World Challenges: Training with Vidyamala Birch, OBE
Mindfulness has been a cornerstone of my work and life. I trained under Vidyamala Birch, OBE, a pioneering mindfulness teacher and founder of Breathworks, known for transforming how people relate to pain, stress, and difficulty. Her emphasis on resilience, acceptance, and compassion has deeply influenced my approach.
Through mindfulness-based coaching, I offer practical tools to help you meet life’s challenges with clarity and calm. Whether you’re navigating physical discomfort, emotional stress, or high-pressure leadership roles, mindfulness builds resilience, cultivates presence, and empowers you to make aligned, skillful decisions—even in the face of uncertainty.
Running The Desert
In 2013, I completed the Marathon des Sables—a seven-day ultramarathon across the Sahara Desert. I first read about this race in the book Survival of the Fittest by Dr. Mike Stroud, and I vividly remember thinking, I want to do that. With just nine months to train and a starting point of only 18 miles, the race tested every ounce of my endurance and mental strength. Carrying all my supplies on my back and navigating intense heat, it became one of the best weeks of my life. I felt so alive, so real—so fully me. I discovered something profound: we are capable of far more than we think.
This experience taught me that true growth happens when we step beyond the safe confines of our comfort zones and connect with the untapped potential and unique brilliance within us. It’s a reminder to ask: What does it mean to fully be myself?
This realization shapes my coaching philosophy. Real transformation isn’t about becoming someone you’re not—it’s about uncovering the fullest expression of who you already are. Whether you’re navigating leadership challenges, seeking clarity, or striving for personal growth, my role is to guide and support you in stepping into your truest self, with clarity, intention, and resilience.
