My Journey Into This Work

My journey into coaching wasn't something I planned—it was something

I lived.

​

I spent years as a caregiver, watching my mum navigate life with and after cancer.

​

I saw firsthand how overwhelming the experience is—not just physically, but emotionally.

I witnessed how much focus was placed on treatment while the fear, uncertainty, and struggle to find a "new normal" were often overlooked or dismissed.

​

What struck me most was how isolating it felt. Even with people around who wanted to help, there was this gap—between what she needed and what everyone else understood. Between the expectation to "get back to normal" and the reality that nothing felt normal anymore.

​

I naturally stepped into the role of support system—helping process the unknown, manage the emotional weight, and find ways to move forward when everything felt uncertain. I learned that healing isn't just about the body; it's about the whole person.

That experience changed me. It showed me what real support looks like—and what's missing in most cancer recovery journeys.

​

Why I became a Coach

After years of supporting my mum, I knew I wanted to help other women navigate this difficult transition. But I also knew that lived experience alone wasn't enough—I needed the tools and training to do it properly.

​

I became a Certified Holistic Life Coach, Mind-Body Practitioner, and Nutrition Coach—combining what I'd learned through caregiving with evidence-based coaching methods that address the whole person: mind, body, and emotional wellbeing.

​

Now, I help women who've just finished treatment move from survival mode to thriving—with the emotional support, practical tools, and accountability they need to make lasting change.
 

My Approach

My coaching isn't about toxic positivity or telling you to "just move on."

​

It's about creating a space where you feel truly seen, supported, and empowered to take the next steps in a way that feels right for you—at your own pace.

​

I understand:

• That the world expects you to just "get back to normal" when everything feels different

• That fear, exhaustion, and uncertainty don't magically disappear once treatment ends

• How isolating it can feel when people around you want to help but don't fully understand

• That you need more than information—you need someone to walk alongside you
   

This work isn't just about wellness—it's about transformation. It's about processing what you've been through, rebuilding your strength, and writing the next chapter of your life on your terms.

​

One sustainable step at a time.

​

A bit about me..

I'm based on the Sunshine Coast in Australia (originally from the UK) and I'm a proud mum to a baby girl.

​

Motherhood has been a powerful reminder of how much we all need spaces where we can feel safe, supported, and grounded—especially when things feel uncertain or overwhelming.

​

I work online, so I'm able to support women across Australia and beyond. As long as we can find a time that works across time zones, I'm here.
