ABOUT ME

I’m an entrepreneur with over 25 years of experience in legal and client relations, working in high-pressure environments.  I navigated complex interpersonal dynamics, managed competing priorities and performed under pressure, all while carrying my own personal challenges.  These experiences gave me deep insight into what it takes to lead with strength and resilience, even when life feels overwhelming.

After years of pushing through and eventually succumbing to burnout, I made a pivotal shift into coaching, a move that transformed both my career and my life.  It wasn’t just a change in direction; it was the culmination of years spent developing leadership under pressure.  Stepping into work that aligns with my values and passion has been one of the most empowering decisions I’ve ever made.  This lived experience of personal and professional transformation fuels my commitment to helping other leaders and purpose-driven professionals create meaningful, lasting change.

This work isn’t just what I do, it’s what I deeply believe in.

My coaching goes beyond surface-level shifts.  It’s about transformation that feels authentic and empowering.  I bring curiosity, empathy and strategic leadership insight to every session.  I integrate evidence-based techniques rooted in behavioral science, neuroscience and positive psychology, helping clients build mindset, resilience, shift limiting beliefs, and lead from the inside out.  Together, we create meaningful, sustainable change.

CERTIFICATIONS

I am a Certified Leadership Development & Mindset Coach, trained through an ICF-accredited program.  I'm also a Certified Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming and hold additional certifications in Deep Listening, Guiding the Coaching Process, and mindset strategies informed by Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).  My work is grounded in over a decade of studies in emotional resilience, human behaviour and the science of neuroplasticity, all of which support the development of core leadership skills and qualities.

WHY WORK WITH ME

Purpose-driven individuals choose to work with me because they are looking for someone whose coaching approach is informed by real-world experience and success.
