ABOUT ME

Professional background.

For over a decade, I’ve worked in global organizations designing Learning Programs, leading Development Workshops, and shaping inclusive, people-centered cultures.

Supporting others in their growth naturally led me to coaching, which I now integrate into how I work with teams, as well as offering one-to-one coaching for individual clients. 

I’ve delivered training to over 1,000 people, and facilitation is one of the most energising parts of my work.

I love sharing tools and leaving participants ready with practical, actionable strategies they can use immediately.

Personal path.
Six years ago, my personal journey deepened through yoga, meditation, sound healing, and mindfulness.

Yoga taught me the power of stillness, the importance of listening to body and mind, and how small, consistent practices can create profound shifts in clarity, energy, and resilience.

Alongside this, I developed a passion for integrative medicine and holistic wellbeing. Life cannot be compartmentalized — work, health, personal life, and relationships are all interconnected.

This integrative perspective shapes how I live and how I coach, helping others bring balance, clarity, and growth to every area of their lives.
Training and growth.

As a Life Coach focused on Clarity and Alignment, I’m committed to continually growing — both personally and professionally — to offer the best support possible.
I’m finishing my Life Coach certification with The Coaching Academy, building on a solid foundation in Learning & Development. 

I’m also training as a Biohacking Coach, exploring holistic tools that promote mental clarity, emotional balance, and physical wellbeing.

This ongoing learning helps me blend structured coaching with intuitive, body-based practices, creating sessions that empower clients to move forward with confidence and alignment.

My coaching today.

I combine my coaching experience with a holistic, presence-based approach shaped by years of yoga, meditation, and mindful practices. 

Drawing on over a decade of experience in Learning & Development, I bring clear structure, intuitive guidance, and mindful presence to our coaching sessions. Together, we focus on helping you gain clarity, build confidence, and take aligned action.

Clients often say they leave feeling energized and motivated — like they’ve received a natural boost of clarity and momentum.
I’m currently deepening this approach with training in holistic and biohacking tools to support grounded, aligned decision-making.

My coaching approach

One-on-one coaching session for personal and professional growth
I believe change begins with awareness — and grows when you feel truly seen, supported, and free to explore who you are.

What I bring to my clients:
🌱 Presence, a calm, reflective space where what's alive in you can emerge.
🌿 Structure, clear tools and strategies drawn from over 12 years in Learning & Development to bring clarity and aligned action.
🍃 Intuition, helping you reconnect with your inner truth in a way that feels natural and personal.

Whether you’re navigating transition, seeking clarity, or simply feeling stuck, I walk besides you with presence, clarity, and care.

Beyond coaching

Alongside individual coaching, I support purpose-driven organizations in building coaching skills for managers and fostering strong coaching cultures.

Through Learning & Development consulting, I provide practical coaching skills training, coaching culture initiatives, and DISC workshops designed to improve communication and drive meaningful growth.

My focus is on helping teams and leaders connect, develop, and thrive by embedding coaching into their daily work in a way that’s both effective and sustainable.
Let’s connect

I would love to hear from you — whether you’re curious about coaching, ready for a change, or seeking support with your organization’s learning and development.
