My Story

The Roots

As a child of immigrant parents to Australia, I knew how much value my family and community placed on hard work, education, financial success and stability at home. Not knowing what to do when I left school, I found myself doing a double degree in Law and Commerce. Luckily, I really enjoyed Law School, particularly those subjects that touched on international or human rights law.

Law & Advocacy

Instead of following that passion, I followed the well-trodden path into corporate law, practising both in major law firms in London and Australia and later in-house at a multinational.

These experiences taught me how culture, leadership, boundaries and psychological safety shape our experience of work. They also showed me how much our inner world influences our outer performance. The more I learnt about the human experience of workplaces, the more I wanted to change it.

Leadership, DEI & Finally Entrepreneurship

As I stepped into senior leadership roles, I stepped outside my “legal lane” and worked on projects aimed at improving the employee experience at work. Somehow though, it simply didn’t feel like enough. Something was missing from my career.

The pandemic made me realise I didn’t need to spend my professional life being a lawyer – that I could pursue my passions and personal interests. After many conversations with my inner voice to overcome my fears, doubts and imposter syndrome, I left employment as a corporate lawyer and started my passion-fuelled business.

Personal Shifts, Somatics & Breathwork

While my business grew and went from strength to strength, my marriage was falling apart. While my NLP training had given me a lot of somatic coaching knowledge and experience, it was only when my separation hit rock-bottom that I truly experienced the power of full-body awareness and transformation. Simply put, breathwork changed my life. My relationship to stress. My ability to deal with life’s chaotic twists and turns.

Having witnessed over many years (and personally experienced) how much stress, burnout, and emotional labour we carry, and the extraordinary power of somatic work, I knew that my coaching and facilitation had to evolve. And so, I trained in somatic practices and trauma-aware breathwork. Integrating the body into leadership and coaching has opened an entirely new dimension of transformative work.

MY APPROACH

Curiosity. Compassion. Grit. Courage. Inclusion.

Regardless of what brought you here, these are the qualities and values that you can expect me to bring to our relationship, whether through asking you probing questions or getting you to self-reflect at a deeper level, or through the hard work, commitment and courage required to do the difficult work that needs to be done to bring DEI initiatives to life. My approach is a deeply somatic and compassionate one, founded in the belief that humanity requires holding space for the views of others without judgment.

My mission is to create a more equitable, compassionate and healthy tomorrow. I do this by intentionally blending my various interests, skills and passions into what I offer:
– Coaching women to be their most empowered selves.
– Working with organisations to create systemic change at a workplace level.
– Advocating for broader societal change, including through the law.
– Teaching people about the extraordinary power of breathwork and somatic coaching to create change from within.

Because evolution is not a single moment. It’s a supported process.

It starts with reconnection, moves through reclamation and possibility, and unfolds into aligned, conscious action and follow-up.
