I will be your guide; I am a passionate, empathetic person and I truly care about the people I work with. I am positive, driven and extremely resilient. For many years I was a professional dressage rider, coach and world class horse breeder. This required total dedication and single minded determination. I bred some of the best and most sought after dressage horses in the UK.

I am now a trusted coach and confidante to leaders, high achievers and creative professionals. I know what it takes to get to the top and the secret of staying there, whilst being able to hold it lightly.

Some years ago, I was living the dream. I had everything I desired:

  • a long and successful career as a professional rider and sports coach

  • a dream home that I had designed myself

  • a 30-acre farm in an idyllic village

  • a long marriage and a beautiful family

  • a winning mentality

  • a laser focus on my career

  • an excellent reputation and accolades as a dressage rider, world class horse breeder and international broker

  • a barn full of 6-figure horses

I also had: 

  • constant anxiety

  • an inability to relax or switch off

  • 80+ hour working weeks

  • panic attacks

  • a mind driven by fear

  • no idea how my life aligned with my values—or what my values even were

  • no idea how I could change it

  • chronic and self-inflicted loneliness

  • sacrificed absolutely everything for my career

  • chronic low self-esteem which manifested as perfectionism

I tried:

  • psychotherapy

  • counselling

  • more professional recognition

  • material things

  • pretending everything was fine

  • finding the solution in the bottom of a bottle

  • controlling absolutely everything around me

Nothing seemed to help. The anxiety and mind fog increased, I was in chronic pain and exhausted. The stress was huge. My business running costs were enormous and the financial pressure was constant. My marriage was breaking down and I felt completely trapped. My identity was so entwined with my career that I no longer knew who I was. I drank more and more wine, it was the only way I could relax and shut my mind up.

I tried therapy but I felt like a victim, something I had never felt before. I knew I was a strong and resilient person. In desperation, I signed up with a coach and NLP therapist. It would be no exaggeration to say that it changed my life. I recovered my self-worth, my identity and my confidence. I gained clarity and emotional stability. I now understand the meaning of inner peace. And I learnt how to relax!

My experience with coaching and NLP was so profound that I wholeheartedly committed to helping others. I love seeing people transform how they feel about themselves and their lives.

Sessions are discreet, confidential and free from judgement. I have experienced the darker side of life: childhood bereavement, post-natal depression, alcoholism, divorce and trauma. There is a way out.
