About me
I am an ICF-Certified Psycho-Somatic, leadership and self-empowerment coach for Changemakers who are working to positively impact people and planet.
Through my 1:1 Coaching Packages I guide you to feel deeply rooted in your own health and embodied leadership, supporting you to unlock deeper purpose, alignment and impact in the world.
I support you to tend to the spark inside you:
- A spark which wants to make its mark on the world, to positively impact the lives of others and to make a difference.
- A fierceness in you that won’t give up but is struggling to find its way or overwhelming you.
- A knowing in you that there is more you have to give
- A whisper that there more fulfilment, joy and health is possible for you
Maybe:
- A dream project has been nagging at your for years and you can’t let it go
- You have cracked and are depleted, trying to make the change you believe in
- You know you can’t carry on giving so much, whilst receiving so little for yourself
- You’re going through a time of transition in self-identity, relationship, home or career and need to get back in touch with the deeper you & rekindle your direction & purpose
You may be experiencing one or more of the following:
- Overwhelm with the task in hand and you don’t know where to start
- Resistance from yourself and, or others which you can’t shift
- Burnout, exhaustion or fatigue
- Feeling the scale of the problem you’re tackling is too big
- Losing the passion you once had for your work
- Feeling isolated, anxious, unsupported or unappreciated
- Your days feeling chaotic, and somewhat out of control
Through my 1:1 Coaching Packages, I provide a deeply reflective, safe and confidential space, in line with the ICF code of ethics.
I work with all of you, bringing a holistic – psycho-somatic (mind-body) approach to my coaching. Using my training in relational mindfulness, psychotherapy and somatic practices, I enable our sessions to reach beyond the thinking, rational mind to tap into the knowing, intuition, wisdom and energetics of the body.
My sessions encourage you to:
- Sink below the thinking mind
- Explore sensations, feelings and fears
- Feel and understand what would most make you feel alive
- Deeply believe the project, work or change you most desire is achievable
- Understand how and why you may be standing in your own way
- Recognise patterns, beliefs, mindsets and lifestyle choices that are holding you back
- Find tools and practices to dismantle the blocks
- Gently step into new positive habits, routines and actions on your path
- Step into greater physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing
Through our work together I will provide a framework and self-reflection exercises for your coaching journey. You are supported to create stepped, meaningful actions which feel right for you and you will be guided to a place where your ongoing growth and success feels sustainable by you, outside of a coaching framework.
The values I bring are of kindness, compassion, deep listening and asking powerful questions. I will support, encouraging and sometimes challenge you out of your comfort zone where appropriate.
How long is a typical coaching journey?
An initial coaching package is for a minimum of 8 sessions, normally held at 2-3 week intervals. 12 and 18 coaching packages, which may be more frequent, are also offered at discounted per session rates.

Training, qualifications & experience
I am a mother, nature, travel and ocean-lover (thallasophile) and have always held an innate, burning desire to positively impact the world and alleviate suffering for others. I worked for 25 years as a founder-director and consultant in the social impact and international development field and over the years have studied social anthropology, journalism and gained an MBA focussed on social entrepreneurship.
After leaving my last charity directorship, I experienced a huge upheaval - at different points I refer to it as: a lifequake; a breakdown; an awakening, a spiritual emergency AND the beginning of a period of deep transformation, inner work and a healing journey.
I realised that I wanted to use my experience and all the tools I have discovered and trained in to deeply support changemakers on their personal journeys for impact in the world.

Before founding anâhata coaching my work included:
