My journey
For over a decade and a half, my career in the corporate world as a creative tech soared, whilst my personal life floundered.
The teams I lead won awards and created culture through innovation across industries and continents.
But I remained single and stuck. Very stuck.
I felt like giving up a million times, until I discovered a new way of thinking about relationships and intimacy, dating and love that changed everything.
A unique combination of east and west
By combining the knowledge of modern psychology and neuroscience with ancient wisdom from taoist, tantric and shamanic traditions, I began shifting my mindset around relationships and gained a better understood my emotional world.
I learned to experience more rapid and permanent change by way of somatic (body-based) work.
The transformation was profound. I met an extraordinary partner and found the deep, passionate love I had been seeking.
business meets meaning
I know what it takes to thrive as a leader in the business world. And I also know what it means to cultivate deep connection and healthy intimacy.
Both require a willingness to take risks and grow, to trust the process as it unfolds – and to have an experienced guide to help you along the way.
And so as a Coach I support purpose-driven change-makers, to expand their leadership potential. And for those ready, to find love, keeping it alive, and feel more satisfied in intimacy.

A note on who I serve
I acknowledge my unearned privilege as a white, able bodied, cisgendered, heterosexual woman, and am committed to continually doing my own work to dismantle my own internal racism, and to contribute to the regenerative aliveness of our world.
If you like the way I work, I’d be happy to have a conversation about how I might support you. However, if I believe there is someone who might serve you more powerfully, I will suggest it.
Life is calling.
You have what it takes.
