I am a leadership coach and self-development author. For over 20 years I’ve supported people in their wellbeing and personal growth. My experience and varied background allows me to do deep, impactful work and I love sharing my expertise in ways that lift people up.
My background
I began my career with a five-year degree in Traditional Chinese medicine (including 5 months in Beijing), leading to 20 years’ work as an acupuncturist. I worked with everyone from CEOs to people living on welfare, in private clinics and on the UK’s national health service. This gave me a deep understanding of people from many backgrounds, as well as how people tick and what factors cause poor health and stress.
I then branched out into stretching and created my own stretching brand and wrote a book. I was featured in many newspapers including The Times (of London). Becoming the leader of my own brand with a long waiting list for clients, interviews with journalists, a teacher training program in my method and presentations at symposiums, gave me a strong insight into the challenges and opportunities of being a leader.
This experience combined with decades of working with people who were suffering from having (or sometimes being) a difficult boss, inspired me to go to the root of this issue and support the leaders themselves. By helping people to become genuine and empowered leaders, I found I could benefit entire cultures instead of one person at a time.
Because I have such a varied background, and am a multi-hyphenate, I am able to draw from many experiences and situations. My unique perspective and out-of-the box thinking is a great asset in supporting different kinds of people in finding their strongest and most genuine style of leadership.
This takes a lot of skill, perspective and kindness, and I am well-equipped with all three. My clients tend to feel engaged, supported, seen and highly motivated to change.
As an author I share many self-help techniques that I have picked up through my career. I love helping people through books, just as other authors have helped me.
This is from my trip to Mongolia to visit shamans. It was a very impactful trip and I had a wonderful ceremony with a Dukha (reindeer herder people) shaman.
Travel has helped me to broaden my horizons considerably – you never know what you’re going to learn when you leave the day-to-day behind.
I truly care about my clients and helping them succeed. It is an honor to be able to support others in doing amazing things in the world and watching the ripple effects spread to many other people. My core philosophy is that we all have the abilities we need to succeed inside us innately – but we might need some help and guidance in expressing them.
