my story…
From experience to coaching
That insight is what lead me to become a full-time coach. With over two decades of experience across healthcare, education and business and having lived and worked in Ireland, the US, the UK, Australia, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and now France, I bring practical experience, cross-cultural perspective and real-world insight to every conversation. As a trained Co-Active coach and certified Myers-Briggs and Mental Toughness practitioner I create a safe, supportive space where you can explore what energises you, clarify your priorities, and show up as your authentic self.

A journey full of curves & Surprises
I’ve taken a slightly unconventional path. Early on, I worked with people whose values didn’t align with mine—I just knew something felt off, even if I couldn’t fully explain it at the time.
In my 30s, I made a change. I retrained, went back to college, and set out to find work that felt meaningful. Since then, I’ve managed a women’s imaging practice, helped turn around a struggling business, and worked on the front line taking X-rays in high-pressure trauma environments.
What all of that taught me is this: when you’re out of alignment, you feel it—whether you can name it or not. And when you are aligned, everything shifts.
finding my north star
Through all of this I discovered one constant: helping people be the best versions of themselves is my personal North Star. If we work together you’ll uncover your own North Star and your core values too - because understanding what truly drives you is the foundation for authentic, energising change.

I’ve pushed myself to extremes—running a marathon in the Himalayas taught me what resilience really looks like.

I’ve had my share of low points—they’ve shaped how I listen, support, and coach.
-
![People walking across a city crosswalk, emphasizing diverse footwear and fashion styles.]()
I’ve taken more than one road—four degrees later, I don’t just understand crossroads moments, I’ve lived them. That’s what I bring to my coaching.

Growth needs a little bravery—I’m drawn to those willing to explore beyond the obvious.
