Background

With a South African spirit, a Kiwi heart, and a love for all things Aussie, I call myself a Tri-nation!
I live by the mantra "Lead from the inside out," believing that thriving organisations are built on the strength of their people. My passion lies in facilitating transformative change by drawing on advanced neuroscience, cognitive behavioural change, and positive psychology. I’ve had the privilege of coaching leaders, teams, and stakeholders across a range of industries, from healthcare to tech, construction to FMCG, and more. My approach is dynamic, compassionate, and authentic, creating a safe space for growth, stretching perspectives, and building high-performing teams. Whether it’s through one-on-one coaching, group mentoring, or public speaking training, I’m here to help you "Turn Up the YOU" and redefine your unique impact.

My Why

I do this work because I believe in the power of human potential and the magic that happens when people truly connect with themselves and others. It’s deeply meaningful to me to see the lights come on in someone’s eyes when they realise they have the tools to lead from a place of authenticity and confidence. I love being a catalyst for growth, helping people stretch beyond their comfort zones, challenge their assumptions, and unlock their unique strengths. Watching individuals and teams thrive by embracing their true selves is what makes this journey so rewarding for me—it’s about creating spaces where people can be courageous, real, and unapologetically themselves.

How I Work

I work with a blend of empathy, energy, and gentle challenging, creating a space where people feel safe, seen, and supported to grow. My approach is dynamic and engaging, combining deep listening with thoughtful questioning to spark self-reflection and meaningful change. I draw on a rich toolkit from neuroscience, positive psychology, and behavioural science to tailor each session to the unique needs of the individual or team. I’m all about fostering authentic connections and guiding people to tap into their full potential, embracing both the practical and the profound to make a real, lasting impact.

What I Do

I coach, mentor, and facilitate with a focus on empowering leaders, teams, and individuals to discover and amplify their authentic voices. Whether it's through one-on-one coaching, dynamic workshops, or group mentoring programs, I guide clients to build self-awareness, enhance emotional intelligence, and develop self-leadership skills. I help people navigate change, communicate with confidence, and create meaningful impact in their organisations and beyond. With a background in public speaking, journalism, and performance, I bring a unique mix of creativity and strategic thinking to every engagement, helping others to "Turn Up the YOU" in all they do.

What I Love

I love the thrill of adventure, whether it's hiking in the great outdoors, running short distances with a burst of energy, or discovering new places to explore. Music is my soul's language—I adore everything from jazz to house music and love to sing whenever I can. I’m passionate about fitness, strength training, and nourishing both body and mind with good food, great wine, and deep conversations. I find joy in connection, whether it's on stage speaking, coaching, or simply sharing a laugh with friends. Life, for me, is about living with passion, purpose, and a sense of playfulness every step of the way.
