About me

Welcome. I am here to meet you where you are with your current difficulties. I’ll walk alongside you as we discover which emotional needs are not being met healthily, and thus how we can then use your nature given resources to meet those needs in balance – removing the roads blocks from your life path and finding the future more inline with your hopes.

My background is in sports coaching, competition and more specifically equestrian training. Having grown up in rural communities here and abroad, I have learned from the outset the value of resilience and a robust life strategy towards life’s challenges.

I am also a yoga coach and understand the importance of having something I believe which anchors me to the here and now. I know from lived experience how important that “presence” has been when going through life’s difficulties.

Incorporating the HG principles alongside what life has taught me gives me a truly holistic vantage point, meaning I see your difficulties very objectively. We can then work together to comprehend the detail of those issues. We’ll discover which needs are not being met in a balanced way, what is blocking those and which resources are not being used or haven’t been found yet. We’ll reveal your goals even if you don’t yet know them, and set out to achieve those in the most efficient and thorough way possible.

Trauma, PTSD, cPTSD and family dysfunction are some of the areas I specialise in. Also, performance anxiety and relationship issues (with both human and equine partners). Behavioural change (relating to acute and mild addictions) is of particular interest as this can have such a profound effect upon an individual’s life and wellbeing.

Health and wellness are important subjects which I am passionate about. Good quality nutrition for the mind is just as important as good nutrition for the body. Helping you to find what works for you in this field is my passion.
