It can be difficult! Navigating our relationships at work, amongst friends, family, romantic partners and not least, the hardest of all,  navigating ourselves.   Why are you here?  Because you are seeking some answers about how to go forward in life?  Wanting to try a different approach? Here is some information about me to help you decide if we are a good fit.

Who do I work with?

Couples  seeking deeper connection and wanting to be heard & understood by one another.  Those needing to transform historical hurts and wounds.  Those with a longing to experience increased love, fun & joy.
Teams in organisations & Business who find that there are tensions between staff, patterns and habits that are not serving the needs of individuals or the organisation.  Teams and organisations that seek a workspace that has clarity, efficiency, generosity, honesty and care.
Individuals who are wanting  clarity about the next steps in life.   Support with your relationships; ( parents, children, partners, friends, work colleagues).    Explorations into parts of themselves that are stuck or carrying pain including grief, addiction and trauma.
What are the qualities I bring?

In organisations I will bring you a clear structure that is learnable and repeatable using a variety of materials to suit most learning styles.  I  will work at a peace that is manageable for everyone and bring lightness and humour where appropriate.   I like to work with the specific tensions and themes that are present within the organisation and collaborate with you in getting clear about what your next steps are.  My training's leave people feeling inspired, hopeful with a deeper understanding of individual and team needs.

Therapeutic Coaching I bring a large compassionate heart that can hear the most uncomfortable difficult things, worldly experience and clarity to support you in your next steps.   It matters to me  that we work gently and carefully and invite all parts of your emotional landscape and the body into our explorations.  I am able to be really present with you and support you to bring compassion and empathy to yourself.

Public Training's I use artistic slides in my Foundation / Level 1  Training's and offer a variety of YouTube videos in between sessions to support the learning. There is plenty of practice in breakout rooms and in the whole group.  Certificates of completion available to all who attend the full training.   In all of my training's whether they are online or in person I go at a pace that leaves space for integration, questions, and practice of the material. I strike a balance of fun and humour and create empathic spaces for participants to feel held. Some of my training's are held in the off grid community where I live and offers beautiful surroundings, fire, camping & B&B.

More about my personal life: 

Living in an off grid community co-op (Abundant Earth)  for many years has gifted me many wondrous joys  AND challenges to learn from!   I am  privileged to experience the seasons living through me and a deep connection to nature.  I therefore enjoy enabling nature connection to others alongside my In person  NVC coaching, workshops and retreats.  I offer regular Community Grief Circles and have a keen interest in and influenced by Internal Family Systems (IFS) & Buddhist psychology.  I like growing food.  I have a partner of 30 years, 2 sons aged 23 & 16.  I am embracing wrinkles easier than grey hair.
