Where it all started: 

I began my coaching journey in 2004 (age 27) after discovering the transformative power of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). It is no exaggeration to say that it completely changed all areas of my life!
Life before 2004, had been very different!
For as long as I could remember, I had suffered from a crippling phobia of speaking in front of people, especially people I didn’t know as a result of trauma—a condition I now know is called selective mutism. I'd managed to complete my Masters in Maths & Computer Science at UCL and was working for JPMorgan, but life and a career were entirely limited because I couldn't speak in front of people I didn't know. 

 

My breakthrough: 

NLP released this phobia in about 20 minutes and it felt like my life had begun again! I had confidence for the first time in my entire life. I knew that if I could experience that much change in such a short time, there was nothing I couldn't do!  That breakthrough, among with many others, sparked my passion to become a coach, and I started my own business helping individuals and organisations all over the world to achieve the impossible. I started running breakthrough events which allowed me to groups of people together and help them transform their lives over a long weekend! Board breaks and firewalks are quite the tonic! 

​

Business: 

Over the years, my skills evolved and ultimately I became a Master Trainer of NLP under the expertise of Dr. Wyatt Woodsmall, and created a Breakthrough Coaching Academy to develop world-class breakthrough coaches, speakers and trainers. Along with helping shape their careers, I help them create successful businesses. 

​

Most of my work comes through referrals. As such, I’ve had the privilege of working with some incredible organisations around the world providing executive coaching and leadership development solutions.  
These include:
Virgin Media, Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa, Citi, EverythingEverywhere, TalkTalk, Vodafone, TNT Logistics, Travis Perkins, Lloyds Bank, Wickes, B&Q, British Gas, Urban Outfitters, Unibet, Sanofi, Specsavers. 

I have had some wild and magical experiences and had the privilege to work with many high profile individuals and couples throughout my career.

​

Speaking: 

I love to speak, empower, motivate and inspire groups of people and some of my favourite topics to share with an audience are: 
- Harnessing the power of your belief and the pygmalion effect. 

- Relationships and using compassion to resolve conflicts. 

- Proving that the impossible is possible. 

​

Family: 

In 2010, I met my husband Nick when he sought my help for a debilitating 20-year sleep issue. After experiencing a profound transformation through NLP, Nick pursued a career in sports performance coaching, assisted me on all my NLP Trainings and in 2016, he became a certified NLP Trainer himself. 

Together, we’ve traveled the world, training people in NLP and performance psychology.
 

Nick and I married in Italy in 2017, and in Autumn of 2018, we welcomed our son Rocky, followed by our daughter River in 2023. When Rocky came along, we restructured our business to ensure we could both fulfil our passion for coaching and our love for our children equally. 
 

Why "the relationship alchemist"?: 

For Nick and I, our relationship wasn’t without challenges. What started as a loving friendship became turbulent the moment our relationship became romantic. We walked straight into the minefield of each other’s relationship blueprints and everything imploded. We triggered old emotional patterns that made it difficult to stay together. 

Despite this, we desperately wanted to be together so we persevered. At time it felt like our inner children were clinging to each other for dear life, whilst our adult selves tore strips off each other.  Through determination and compassion, we not only healed our relationship but also transformed the blueprints that had caused so much pain in our early childhood.​

This personal journey gave us a deeper understanding of the struggles our clients face. We can fully empathise with how hard it is to find compassion when you're so angry and hurt, but we've done it and we our now able to show clients the way out to freedom and deeper connection. 

Helping people with their relationships is a huge passion for me. For me alchemy is about transformation but also about finding a magical elixir that can dissolve anything... for me that's compassion.

Awards:

For us, like many people, the pandemic lockdowns changed the way our business operated. At first, we didn't know whether we would have any work, so during the first lockdown, we offered free courses, coaching, and webinars to help people navigate the uncertainty and mental health challenges they were facing. It was so successful that we carried on helping people to this day.

We were honoured for our contribution, with an ANLP Award in 2022.
