Have you ever thought
"I can do this, but it doesn't really light me up"? 

Before I started coaching, I often felt that I hadn't quite found my place in the world, professionally, and where I could whole-heartedly say "I do what I love and I love what I do!!" It was during my initial coach training in 2015 when I knew that I had found what I had been looking for!

Since then, I have been continuing to gain more skills and knowledge in this field, and I have been actively engaged in the coaching community. Apart from having been on and contributing to the ICF NZ Northern Leadership for a good three years, I regularly participate in peer supervision meetings, as well as in professional supervision and mentoring.

In 2020, I became a Team Coaching Foundations Certified Coach through the Global Team Coaching Institute (GTCI), and I also trained in Systemic Coaching and Constellation Work.

Later that year, I underwent an initial 6-week programme in Positive Intelligence (PQ) for coaches, and I have been my PQ learning journey since (I am currently doing advanced training). This has been very inspiring and rewarding, and I have learned so much from this training both on a personal and a professional level! I continue to attend training sessions & webinars, recently joined a Community of Practice, and regularly meet with fellow coaches to share and discuss insights & learnings. 

I am absolutely passionate about enabling, motivating and inspiring people. It is my vision to help people realise their potential & live inspired and inspirational lives through greater self-awareness, improved thinking and the ability to make authentic choices and decisions.

I believe that we can be at our best and find fulfillment if who we are & what we do is aligned. And I believe that we are all somewhere on the journey of getting to know ourselves better, and learning to know how a life which makes us happy feels & looks like. 

This is why I studied part-time for years, and why I am so enthusiastic about ongoing learning, development and growth, both personally and professionally. I love helping people on their journey of self-discovery, and of figuring out how to make the changes they need to achieve their goals, overcome challenges and to become more resilient and self-actualised. 

Outside of work, I love spending time with loved ones and friends, and I enjoy being in nature (beaches, forest,...). I do appreciate a good movie, as well as a good book! And I like music - my taste is rather eclectic! I also really love being creative, and trying out different things - more recently, I have been taking art classes. They are hugely enjoyable & fun!!
