I help heart-led, midlife women rebuild confidence, clarity, and a business that actually supports them

After 26+ years coaching leaders and business owners, I know burnout isn’t a failure  it’s a signal that the way you’re working no longer fits this chapter of your life

For over 26 years, I’ve coached teams, supported business owners, and helped leaders navigate growth and change.

After 17 years in corporate leadership roles, supporting hundreds of leaders and launching teams, I reached a point where I felt underused, invisible, and completely burnt out.

I looked capable on the outside  but inside, I was done pushing.

That experience changed how I see success, leadership, and work.

I didn’t need to try harder.

I needed a different way of working.

That’s exactly what I now help other women create.

WHO I WORK WITH

Today, I support heart-led, midlife women who:

  • Already have a business or clients
  • Are tired of over giving and people-pleasing
  • Feel disconnected from the work they once loved
  • Want clarity, confidence, and sustainability  without hustle

This is not about scaling at all costs.

It’s about building something that fits this season of your life

THE COURAGE TO GROW™ FRAMEWORK

Everything I do is guided by my Courage to Grow™ Framework  a people-first approach to growth that honours your experience, energy, and nervous system.

🌿 Clarity

We cut through the noise and “shoulds” so you know what truly matters.

🌿 Confidence

Grounded self-trust that helps you make decisions without second-guessing.

🌿 Connection

To yourself, your values, and others  without over giving or burnout.

🌿 Consistency

Simple, repeatable ways of working that support sustainable growth.

This framework isn’t about fixing you.

It’s about supporting you to grow in a way that feels human and aligned.

WHAT IT’S LIKE TO WORK WITH ME

My clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, unsure, and exhausted from carrying it all alone.

Together, we rebuild:

  • Clarity in direction
  • Confidence in decisions
  • Boundaries that protect your energy
  • A business that feels supportive again

My style is practical, grounded, and honest  with kindness and straight-talk where it’s needed.

Not louder.

Not faster.

Just more aligned.

Just more you.

A LITTLE ABOUT ME

You’ll often find me starting the day with a cuppa in my favourite mug, scribbling ideas before the world wakes up.

Beach walks with Fudge are my therapy  sand in my shoes, wind in my hair, and space to breathe.

I tend to believe in people before they believe in themselves  and I’ll always remind you of what you’re capable of, even on wobbly day

If you’re ready to feel more confident, supported, and in control of your business, I’d love to work with you
