In 2009, I packed up my life in the UK and moved to New Zealand, where I now live with my two wonderful daughters.

My professional path began in nursing, where I spent 16 years working closely with people at some of the most vulnerable points in their lives. That experience shaped how I show up today—with compassion, respect, and a deep commitment to meeting people exactly where they are. I currently work as a Programme Manager within Health NZ, where I lead system-level change. After some turbulent times within the health system, I felt a strong pull to reconnect with the part of my work that first inspired me—supporting people directly in their personal journeys.

That pull led me to expand my practice into complementary health coaching, alongside my work as a Havening Techniques® practitioner. While I continue my training as a health coach, this approach allows me to walk alongside people in a different way—supporting insight, behaviour change, and sustainable wellbeing. It also beautifully complements Havening, creating a more holistic and empowering experience.

Like many people, my own journey hasn’t been without challenge. One of the most significant was navigating postnatal depression after the birth of my daughters. I wasn’t just looking for relief—I wanted to understand what was happening within me, and how to move forward with more ease, clarity, and joy.

That search led me into personal growth work and psychotherapy, where I first experienced Havening®. After just one session, something shifted. I felt a lightness and release that changed how I met both the difficult moments and the joys of parenting. I knew then that this was something I wanted to learn and share with others.

What draws me to both Havening and health coaching is a shared belief: that you are not broken, and you are not lacking. You already hold the capacity for healing, growth, and change. My role is not to “fix,” but to create a safe, supportive space where you can reconnect with your own strengths, gain clarity, and move forward in a way that feels right for you.

I feel deeply privileged to do this work. Whether through Havening, health coaching, or a blend of both, I look forward to walking alongside you as you rediscover your capabilities and take an active role in your own wellbeing.
