More of Me

Life begins at 40, so 'they' say.

Mine began at 56.

It was the beginning of a change of direction. One that opened up a whole lot more than a new career. I started seeing myself differently. There were things I hadn't explored, possibilities I hadn't considered and ways of being I hadn't yet experienced.

I knew I wanted something different, although I really wasn't clear on what, or how.

It was in the spring of 2021 that the penny dropped. I wanted to become a Life Coach.

It's not as random as it sounds. In my late forties, I'd worked with a coach whilst I navigated an unexpected change in my personal life. And that experience was life-changing! It was the start of so much more than I could have imagined. I started feeling more comfortable in my own skin, discovering more of who I am beneath the stories I'd been telling myself.

Now I understand how much of my experience of life is shaped by my thinking. How easily I can get caught up in the same thoughts, going over things, trying to work everything out or making sense of what's happening. And how different things can look when my mind is quiet.

These days I live with more ease. I allow myself time and space. I no longer feel the need to have everything figured out. I'm more present. I have more headspace to think well and be creative. I am loving what is and being curious about what's next.

I live in Cornwall. It's my playground. The sea is my sanctuary.

My work

I spent 17 years working in HR, eventually becoming an HR and Operations Director. Coaching was already central to how I worked with people. I saw the difference it made when people had the space to talk, think and feel properly listened to.

My training in Transformative Life Coaching built on that experience and strengthened my desire to focus on coaching full-time.

Now I work with women who are ready for less noise in their heads and more ease in their lives; women who want to feel lighter, have more clarity and find a different perspective on life. Because when we stop getting so caught up in our thinking, we can see things differently, have more freedom in how we live our lives and discover what's possible.
