"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.
