Grounded in science. Guided by empathy. Informed by life.
I am an ICF-accredited coach, former molecular biologist, currently a researcher in organizational theory (focussing on psychological safety), with a third degree black belt in Taekwon-Do and a habit of wanting to understand everything.
I help professionals and leaders uncover the wisdom that is already within them, and translate it into sustainable, meaningful action in their careers, leadership and their lives.
Who I work with
Professionals at a crossroads. Are you in a career that no longer fits, or facing a crisis at work, or perhaps circling around a big decision? Together we find the way forward by looking at your skills, ambitions and priorities.
Leaders carrying more than the title. Do you sometimes wonder if you really belong in the leadership role? Perhaps you sense things going unsaid in your team, or feel the textbook approach doesn’t quite fit. Drawing on what I know about psychological safety from research and from experience, I will help you find your own way of leading.
People who want their whole life to make sense. Career, family, identity, ambition: I understand juggling roles, because I do it too. Let me help you bring it all together, in a way that makes sense to you.
What I do
I combine the Yin of empathy and life experience, and the Yang of science and smart goal setting to my coaching practice.
The Yin is empathy and lived experience. I grew up as a third-culture kid, and have built a life across three continents. I know what it feels like to be othered, to start over, and to carry more than people can see. That makes my coaching a space where you can say what’s really going on.
The Yang is science and strategy. Years in research and corporate environments, an MBA, and ongoing research into how organisations work, mean I understand the pressures you face at work, and I’ll help you turn insight into clear goals and a concrete plan.
The Spirit of Theta Initiative
The Theta Initiative explores the intersection of science, empathy, and experience: the place where insight becomes transformation.
Theta waves are linked to deep relaxation, creativity, and meditative awareness. They bridge the conscious and unconscious mind — the state of “flow” where time fades and ideas connect. In that rhythm, the mind opens to intuition, learning, and emotional balance.
It is hard to get there - with back to back meetings, constant pressure to perform, and responsibilities. The Theta Initiative creates the space for you to turn awareness into meaningful, lasting action, helping people reconnect with clarity, resilience, and purpose in how they live and lead.

Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion
Because I know what it’s like to be on the outside, I create a space where every client’s unique strengths and challenges are recognised, and where everyone is valued and empowered to share their story.
