Performance Coach
I’m a Performance Coach dedicated to helping ambitious women overcome anxiety, stress, and trauma- quickly and effectively. Using powerful tools like Havening Techniques® and NLP®, I guide my clients to achieve lasting emotional freedom and profound transformation. Many experience, life-changing results in just one session, breaking free from the emotional weight of their past.
Having resolved my own trauma through these techniques, I’m deeply passionate about helping others do the same. My mission is simple: to help you find lasting relief, regain calm, confidence, and control so you can thrive both personally and professionally.
My Journey: From Rock Bottom to Helping Women Thrive
From Corporate Success to Personal Crisis
For 13 years, I thrived as a successful Program Manager, leading large-scale strategic programs for a technology company. But in early 2020, my life took an unexpected turn. A traumatic experience at the hospital with my mother left me feeling stressed, helpless, and in despair. Not long after, my youngest sister passed away from metastatic breast cancer during the height of Covid. The grief was overwhelming, and as my marriage broke down and ended in divorce, I found myself at rock bottom- physically, emotionally, and mentally.
The Leap That Changed Everything
In the midst of this turmoil, I decided to challenge myself with a tandem skydive for Macmillan Cancer Support. That leap wasn’t just about raising money, it was about finding strength in the face of adversity. It sparked something inside me- a fascination with the power of the mind and its ability to overcome even the darkest moments. I realised I was meant for something different, something more meaningful. That’s when I stumbled across a hypnotherapy course, and for the first time in a long time, it felt like the right path.
Finding My Calling Through Havening Techniques
In September 2023, I took my first step into this new world by enrolling in the course and signing up for my first marathon with Breast Cancer Now. During my hypnotherapy training, I discovered Havening Techniques through Paul McKenna. I’ll never forget the moment I resolved a lifelong spider phobia in under 10 minutes- it was like a lightbulb went off. I knew I had to learn more.
Helping Others Heal and Thrive
By February 2024, I was fully immersed in Havening Techniques training, captivated by the neuroscience behind it. The results were extraordinary- helping people recover from trauma, find relief from anxiety, and even support cancer patients. The impact was so profound that I knew this was my calling. I wasn’t just learning a technique, I was discovering my purpose.
Since then, I’ve dedicated myself to mastering these tools and helping others transform their lives. I’ve earned certifications as a Hypnotherapist (Jan 2024), NLP Practitioner (May 2024), Havening Techniques Practitioner (Aug 2024) and then NLP Master Practitioner (February 2025). I’ve continued to push my own limits- most recently completing the 2025 TCS London Marathon for Breast Cancer Now in challenging heat.
Here’s what I believe: just because you’ve experienced pain or trauma, it doesn’t have to define your life. There’s a gentle, fast, and effective way to heal emotional distress, and I’m here to guide you every step of the way. If I can rebuild my life after everything I’ve been through, so can you.
