About me

High Functioning Anxiety, People-pleasing and Procrastination.

I am a health coach and therapist specialising in high-functioning anxiety and its impact on weight, wellbeing, and career performance. With a background in trauma therapy, coaching, and leadership in high-pressure environments, I help professional women break free from the relentless cycle of stress, overachievement, and emotional eating.

Through my Genius, Grace, and Grit framework, I blend therapeutic, somatic, and coaching interventions to support high-achieving women in managing anxiety, reclaiming their health, and creating sustainable habits.

My full 12-week coaching programme is designed for intelligent, driven professionals who struggle with people-pleasing, perfectionism, and never feeling "good enough", many of whom have tried traditional weight loss methods without success.

Passionate about empowering women to thrive, I regularly share insights on social media, podcasts, and through speaking engagements, offering practical tools to cultivate resilience, nourish the body, and embrace a fulfilling, balanced life.

I have been a co-founder and managing director of a highly successful and profitable company and understand how high-functioning anxiety can present as an asset until it deteriorates health and wellbeing.
