Life and Leadership Coaching

Lead with intentionality.

My Practice

I am an executive, life, and leadership coach, specializing in women’s leadership and utilizing the therapeutic benefits of nature to enable visionary thinking. In addition to conventional one-to-one coaching, I support my clients with the assistance of horses using a coaching methodology known as Equine-Facilitated Learning. I also use gardening, mindfulness walks, and nature appreciation exercises to help my clients find their way to a more intentional life, personally and professionally.

I am the proud Founder and CEO of Tide Risers, one of the highlights of my career of which I am most proud. I am also the proprietress of Shore Hall, a 16th-century manor house situated on 22 acres of bucolic English countryside, where I host wellness and coaching retreats. 

My work brings me great joy, and I seek to assist all of my clients in finding the same level of joy in their own professional endeavors. 

I curate unique experiences to help people learn and grow. I use nature-based therapies to create relaxing and restorative environments that enable creative inspiration and lateral thinking, enabling you to overcome seemingly overwhelming hurdles.

More than anything, I think of myself as a community builder. My career has included the foundation of deliberate communities that spawn powerful networks and deliver transformational learning experiences, such as Tide Risers.

What I’ve learned is that intentional relationship-building and the development of deliberate community are essential cornerstones for healthy and effective work teams.
