While I can coach anyone, I specialise in two areas where my passion and strengths lie:

A bit more about me

I trained to be a Life Coach when I burnt out after many years teaching in secondary schools in the UK. I love to travel and now enjoy working remotely, mostly from warm countries by the beach! My parents are both Irish, but I grew up in SW London.  I love animals (I 'borrow' a dog called Ted, he's a Cavapoo, and I love him so much; I cat sit for a gorgeous cat called Pedro too!). I am passionate about helping others to be the best version of themselves.  I practice 'an attitude of gratitude' and always demonstrate a positive mindset. 

I have two amazing, grown up children, who I'm incredibly proud of; a daughter, 29, who is an SEN teacher, and a son who is 30 who is severely disabled, he does not walk or talk, but understands everything and has the most infectious smile! I was a single parent for most of their childhood, choosing to walk away from a relationship that was not making me happy.   I enjoy playing badminton, dancing, live bands, swimming, spa days, walking (especially on the beach barefoot) and listening to a variety of music genres. I'm sociable, personable, caring and easy to get along with.

Coaching transformed my life; I was experiencing complete burnout and anxiety and investing in a coach gave me the confidence, courage and motivation I needed to completely overhaul my life for the better! I now have what I have craved for years, Flexibility, Freedom and Fulfilment.  I choose my working hours and who I work with, I get to travel loads, escape the horrible winters in the UK, and I no longer feel unhappy, depressed, stressed or anxious. 

I’m an empathetic, sincere and caring person. My life has not been easy, but I pride myself on always being Positive, Proactive and Patient.  I will support you to transform your life, one session at a time.
