Whoever you are, you’re welcome.

I often connect with carers, creatives, and people navigating major changes, but whatever your story, this is space to rebalance your energy.

Carer?

I’ve been a foster carer, kinship carer, and adoptive parent for over a decade. Together, we’ll talk, question, and explore practical ways to feel lighter and stronger in your role.

Care-sector coaching

Creative?

Passionate about the creative sector, I work with artists, makers, and organisations to unlock fresh ideas and practical pathways so projects and people can thrive.

Facing change?

As someone who’s faced illness, grief, and major changes myself, I'm curious to work together to pause, breathe, and explore new ways to navigate whatever life is asking of you.
