A few things about me. Quick facts

My life-long work can be described as having two strands:

  • Being a student of shifting identity and roles, both at work and in private life, and its relationship to consciousness and personal power.

  • Discovering ways to support deep personal growth, which is tailor-made for individuals, through connection, purpose and self-knowledge.

  • I have raised my children with my husband in 6 countries and myself grown up in 2.

  • I recognised my own autism while my son, niece and nephew were being

  • My Masters in Psychology and Doctorate in Educational Leadership focused on shifting identity and roles.

  • I am an NLP-integrated, ICF certified lifecoach. I am also a meditation teacher and reiki-integrated coach.

My mission is to enable transformative change for newly unveiled autistic adults and families, so that people I work with experience their most creative and productive selves with joy and social connection in ways that are personally meaningful.

I coach autistic adults (or parents of autistic kids) to develop

1. Short and long-term strategies to manage energy and self-concept to do all the things they want to do

2. Gain a deeper understanding of their own experience and create their own environment in a way that allows optimum life experience

3. Self-advocacy to make social experiences more joyful, meaningful and exciting.

My expertise in psychology, neuro-biochemistry, and educational leadership informs my passion for shifting identities and roles in both professional and personal contexts. Through a combination of education practice, NLP-informed coaching, energy work and meditation,I create powerful coaching programmes with my clients that are personal to them.
