A B O U T
I have thrown myself off several proverbial cliffs, manifested my dreams, taken risks beyond my fears and I have always quit when my heart is no longer in it. I approach life as an opportunity to take, another door to open, filled with amazing people to meet along the way….
I’m an artist, well-being practitioner, writer and coach—offering a different kind of business mentoring that encompasses the whole self, for work, life and meaningful balance.
My journey started with my hands in clay. I trained as a craft maker and worked as a studio potter and teacher for seven years before shifting direction in 2002. I moved into leadership roles within luxury interior brands, driven by curiosity and a desire to understand what makes people—and businesses—thrive.
My first role as store manager at Fired Earth in Brighton taught me that success isn't just about product or price, it’s about alignment. We became the most profitable store per square metre across all 60 showrooms, thanks to a shared sense of purpose, strong team dynamics, and belief in what we were doing. I was promoted to manage one of their flagship stores, and later headhunted to manage LINLEY’s luxury store in Mayfair.
It was high-end, under-performing and required an outside-of-the-box marketing strategy. Within six months, we were in profit and ahead of their flagship store. But what stuck with me was something deeper: the felt sense of flow. The way energy either moved or stagnated—how the layout of a space, the clarity of roles, and the resonance of a vision could all affect performance. These weren’t just business mechanics; they were energetic dynamics.
After years in corporate life, I turned towards the world of well-being, immersing myself in Yoga, Ayurveda and energy work. I learned to understand sensitivity not as weakness, but as a form of intelligence. A guide. A compass.
For the past decade, I’ve lived in Southwest France, where I founded Little French Retreat, a home for retreats, coaching, and reconnection. I’ve hosted groups in France, the UK and India, holding space for people to rest, think clearly, and rediscover what they’re here for.
Since the pandemic, my work has evolved again, expanding into online coaching and returning to my first love: pottery. This weaving together of creative practice, strategic thinking and deep listening now forms the foundation of my coaching.
I work with leaders, creatives and entrepreneurs who are ready to do things differently—who want to grow without burning out, lead without losing themselves, and build lives and businesses that feel wholly true.
