This is me!

As you can see, I’ve been around the block a bit 😊

Long enough to have had a few careers, including working for many years in education settings, and now as a qualified coach, trainer, and Licensed TIFF Provider (Link to What is TIFF?).

And long enough to have collected lots of life experiences which help me support clients to improve their personal effectiveness.

A few lessons I’ve learned across the years…

  • Trying to keep everyone happy doesn’t work. You end up feeling worn out.
  • Perfectionism can leave you never feeling good enough. And that’s not good enough.
  • Rushing around everywhere, and never taking time to really stop and think, is unproductive and wastes energy.
  • Being strong doesn’t mean ignoring your emotions.
  • Trying hard is good. Trying ‘too’ hard leads to burnout.
  • Singing and dancing are good for you.
  • Singing is also great for your gut health. Who knew?
  • Everyone needs to play more!

I am inspired by nature and by being outdoors, so the chance to take to the hills for a group or one-to-one coaching session is one of my favourite ways to help clients.
