About me
I’m a lawyer with over 14 years’ experience in the corporate world. I returned from my second maternity leave raring to get stuck into my new role, full of enthusiasm and ambition. Within 18 months however I was burnt out, frustrated and exhausted from trying to balance full-time work and being a mother to two young children. After a lot of thought I decided to take a sabbatical, taking time out to spend with my family and to study for the pure pleasure of learning (something I had always promised myself I would do when I retired or won the lottery). It was one of the best decisions I have ever made.
Qualifications
I am a qualified Co-Active Training Institute Coach, which is described as the “gold standard” of coaching by the Institute of Coaching, a Harvard Medical School affiliate that has linked the four cornerstones of the Co-Active Model to evidence-based scientific research. It is an experiential model of coaching, which focuses on coaching the whole person irrespective of whether the topic relates to work or their personal life.
I am also a qualified trauma informed equine coach, with a diploma in equine facilitated human development (EFHD), from IFEEL Qualifications (International Foundation of Experiential Education and Learning). EFHD is a form of coaching that works with horses to help people to make deep and lasting changes in their lives. I have always loved horses since being a small child, their grace and majesty provides a deep sense of calm that touches the very soul. Just being around them has always provided me with a sense of wonder and inner peace.
Passion led me here
This journey really ignited my passion for mental health and wellbeing and I was struck by how little as a society we understand about emotional wellbeing, despite the serious impact it can have on health. I’m passionate about mental health in all its guises and my mission is to empower people to embrace their emotions and decode their messages so that they can learn to thrive in every aspect of their lives.
