ABOUT ME
I help changemakers reconnect to the wisdom of their bodies and regenerate from within, to empower their work in creating regenerative futures.
I’ve worked for over a decade in the circular economy/systems change field. During that period my body became well acquainted with chronic stress, anxiety, depression, physical pain, and burnout.
I lacked the tools to approach my work in a way that regenerated me from within. I kept going because I felt a sense of responsibility, but I forgot my body and soul in the process.

Our systems are broken - economic, political, social. They are beyond repair and need transformation. I won’t regale you with the stats around climate change, biodiversity loss, war, poverty, and displacement.
For the past decade I’ve put my energy into a career in changing our economic system to value and respect our planet, our home. I consider this the top-down approach – it’s a slow and tedious process of transforming some of the most archaic institutions that govern us as a society. It’s also an exciting opportunity for innovation and radical disruption of the status quo and it is essential work that must be done if we are to survive as a species.
Since colonialism and the industrial revolution, man has decided that nature’s resources are to be owned and exploited. And they have been so over-exploited that environmental collapse is inevitable unless we transform our economic system. Even in the worlds of environmentalism, sustainability, circular economy etc… we often talk about regenerating nature, as if nature is separate from us. But it isn’t… and I believe that to regenerate our mother earth, we need to also regenerate ourselves as conscious, connected individuals.
I’ve witnessed so much burnout in amazing leaders pushing themselves past their limits to create positive change. I’ve been there myself. And I’m starting to think more and more that we can’t push this transformation from the top down, with the same energy that created the very systems that are broken.
At the same time, we need to look at the bottom up, human regeneration; our spiritual rebirth. We need leaders that are so deeply rooted into their authentic, empowered selves. Clear on their soul purpose (the WHY), clear on their boundaries, aware of their limiting beliefs and behaviours. Leaders who are alive in their bodies and connected to their intuition. Leaders who know how to feel into their emotions and move that energy through their bodies, transform it into their creative force, rather than getting overwhelmed by feelings or stuck in the lethargy of not feeling anything at all. Leaders who are empowered and choosing everyday to connect to their soul purpose and vision for change. Who are expansive and unlimited in their potential. Who lead by example and by being human – vulnerable and emotional animals.
We need leaders that have slowed down and taken the time to address the parts of their lives that are holding them back and sucking the energy out of them like vampires. Whether it’s a toxic relationship, unfulfilling job, climate anxiety, fear of failure, fear of success…the list goes on.
THIS is why I am working as a transformational coach, with a focus on the mind-body connection. My deepest desire is to help empower people to step out of their drama and into their authentic expression as creators. No matter how big or small the change may seem, it all adds up. I want to help create a global tribe of connected, conscious, resilient leaders, so we can create a world and society in which every living being can THRIVE. I can taste it, I know it’s possible, and I’m so excited to be on this journey.
