"You’re not lost — you’re just becoming."

I was always one of those inquisitive kids, constantly asking why, spending hours observing the world around me. That curiosity never left.

It led me to train as a counsellor at just 17, becoming the youngest qualified counsellor in the UK by 22. From there, I stepped into a decade-long journey through healing, research, and transformation:

  • Supporting children and families at the NSPCC

  • Leading relationship work at Relate

  • Designing training and conducting research inside Dartmoor Prison

  • Collaborating with the Met Office and startups at the University of Exeter

Every experience deepened my devotion to understanding, and honouring, what it means to be fully human.

The Journey To Here

Burnout. Becoming. Awakening.

For all the success I’d achieved, I eventually hit a point where the life I built no longer fit the woman I was becoming.

I ran, at first literally, using movement to process my pain.
Then I moved, from the U.K. to Italy, to rewrite the rules of my life.

This wasn’t just a relocation. It was a remembering.

The Work I Now Offer

I now walk beside high-achieving, deeply feeling humans who’ve outgrown the roles they once played.

They know they’re enough.
They’re just not sure who they are beyond the proving.

Together, we:
✔️ Reclaim authenticity
✔️ Heal identity wounds
✔️ Anchor in embodied worth
✔️ Align success with soul

My work draws from:

  • 20+ years of personal development & professional experience

  • Mental health, counselling, and leadership

  • Identity evolution and somatic practices

  • Lived integrity and global life transitions

Multi-Passionate & Fully Free

I used to believe my way of being was “wrong.”
That I had to niche down.
Pick one thing.
Be the expert.

I tried. I invested. I conformed.
But it never worked.

It wasn’t until I embraced my multi-passionate, multi-faceted nature that everything fell into place.

Now, I work with clients who are just like me — people who need to be all of themselves to truly ignite their lives, wellbeing, and success.

WholeHearted Is A Way Of Being

Everything I offer is infused with my values of:

❤️ Authenticity
🕊️ Freedom
🌀 Integrity

An Invitation To You

If something in you feels stirred, that quiet yes in your chest,
I want you to know this:

You’re not behind. You’re not broken. You’re becoming.

Let’s walk together as you return home to your deepest self.
