About me

I specialise in supporting female business owners and leaders who are growing or pivoting their business, who may be feeling stuck and stressed, to review and overcome so they can re-align with what’s important to them and have better health and more time, energy and money.

I facilitate powerful discussions about mindset, money and business strategy.

The problem I help solve is getting female leaders and business owners unstuck and realigned to their purpose, so they have the confidence and conviction to assess their current situation and implement the business improvement and change that will uplevel their business.

This means they can be clear on their business and align it to the higher purpose, transform their businesses and lives, heal from their previous traumatic experiences, recognise their self-worth, stop people pleasing and seeking external validation, reframe their limiting beliefs and the way they think about fear and anxiety, understand and improve their relationship with money, reduce burnout and all while encouraging them to open themselves to experiencing more joy.
