    Some decisions can't be solved by thinking harder. Some blockages don't show up in the strategy deck. Some leadership challenges begin where consulting ends. I work at the intersection of business strategy, leadership development and transformational depth — with 15+ years of hands-on experience in consulting, project management, branding and organizational development. I bring what most advisors don't: the precision of a seasoned business consultant & the perception of someone who sees what's underneath. I work with founders, executives and business owners who are navigating real turning points — not just optimizing what already works. My clients come to me when: • a critical decision won't settle, despite all the analysis • something keeps blocking, and no one can name what it is • growth requires them to change, not just their strategy • they're ready for depth, not just advice I work selectively and with full presence. Not for everyone — for the right ones. If you're reading this and something resonates — reach out. I'll tell you directly whether I can help.

    Coaching is an incredible tool that can move us from an ambivalent, indecisive or unclear place, into one of clarity, motivation and drive. Focusing on the present and future, coaching helps to uncover your dreams and then maps out a path for you to get there. Working as a coach since 2018, I've witnessed clients finding inner strength, tenacity, creativity and grit to not only define their dreams, but to go out there and get them too. I enjoy working with people who are eager to work through their stumbling blocks and motivated to do the work it takes to evolve. In my coaching sessions I draw on my professional training which includes trauma resolution (Somatic Experiencing) my 8-years of owning an online business, as well as on yoga philosophy, mindfulness and psychological principles. I am also an active member of the ICF (International Coaching Federation) I absolutely love to travel, spend time outside and indulge in dark chocolate. I'm currently living in Cape Town, South Africa although I also spend a lot of time in Europe. Coaching sessions are done via Skype or Zoom. How can I add value to YOUR life?
