Creating transformative experiences that help leaders, teams, and businesses thrive

With over 25 years of experience, I blend traditional and experiential approaches to create transformative and holistic growth and learning experiences.

I am an accredited executive and performance coach, international facilitator, and Fellow of the Association of Counsellors, Coaches, Psychotherapists, and Hypnotherapists (FACCPH).

Over the course of my career, I founded Tide Risers, a global community advancing women’s leadership, and have held leadership roles across corporate, creative, nonprofit, and government sectors.

I have been recognized as an OBO Top 100 Innovator, invited to share my insights as a TEDx speaker, and contribute thought leadership as a Fellow of ACCPH and a member of the Kinross House Think Tank.

I hold a Level 4 certification in Equine Facilitated Learning and a BA from New York University.

Beyond coaching, I am the Proprietress of Shore Hall Manor House and Gardens in the UK, where I design experiences that cultivate creativity, community, and connection with the natural world.

The historic Manor House and surrounding gardens embody my philosophy that growth and transformation take root when people are invited into environments that draw on the power of nature, encourage mindful reflection, and foster shared experience.

Who I Work With

  • Executives navigating complexity and organizational change

  • Entrepreneurs scaling their businesses with clarity and purpose

  • Professional athletes and high performers strengthening their mindset for peak performance

Methodology

My coaching fosters authentic self-awareness, team cohesion, and resilient leadership in a supportive, non-judgmental space. I integrate strengths assessments with nature-based wellness practices to unlock clarity, confidence, and inner strength.

A signature element of my methodology is Horse Powered Insight®, an experiential approach that draws on the intuition of horses to help leaders and teams build trust, make confident decisions, and chart purposeful pathways forward.

By combining evidence-based practices with experiential learning, I guide people and organizations toward growth that is both practical and profound — empowering them to reconnect with their values, amplify their impact, and move forward with purpose.

My businesses, Tide Risers and Shore Hall, have achieved BCorp certification, meaning they are a part of a global community of businesses that meet high standards of social and environmental impact.
