"Your current capacity is not the same as your future capability"
About me
In 2018 I reached out and had a very fist phone call with a Coach who was to become my future mentor. Not really knowing what I wanted or needed, other than I felt a pull to book a call. I can genuinely say that call went on to change my life. It was the first time I felt able to say "I am not okay" And it was also the first time someone asked "what do you want to be different" At the time I was knee deep in dog rescue, running a small but busy home boarding business and my mental and physical health was at an all time low. With her support, I began to take steps forwards to get help, working with a counsellor alongside my coach to unravel the choices and decisions that had led me to that point. So I could begin to make changes moving forwards. I won't keep it a secret from anyone, it was a time in my life where I was in a really dark place. But, with their support I started to take back responsibility and began to move forward again. My promise to anyone who works with me is I won't sugar coat the process, share flippant toxic positivity statements that diminish your experiences and challenges. But, I will with your permission compassionately challenge you to stop, reflect and reconsider what it is you truly want for your life or your business. It's important to say, I am no means perfect (hello typo's, setbacks and perfectely perfect human mess). I am still a work in progress and always will be. Just like you. But, what I have learned (so far) is life is too short to keep doing the things that make us unhappy and unfulfilled. My business has drastically evolved over time. I am not the Coach or the Mentor for you if you are looking for someone who is all about the profit, the results and the success. I am for you, if you know deep down something needs to change, and your open and willing to be lovingly challenged and supported by someone who has made mistakes, and has and continues to learn from them. Who will encourage you to take radical responsibility for your life and business, and lovingly hold you accountable to what you say you want to create. I have learnt to kindly let go of the parts that were no longer serving me, how to set boundaires and begin to implement self care (which was until then a total foreign concept). Your journey will be different than mine (no two are the same) but my commitment to you is to help you find your way forward towards a life and business that you love. I am someone who you come to when life is hard and the way forward feels unclear. Not as a counsellor or a therapist, my role is to keep you focused on moving forward. When I work with my clients I get to know them warts and all, the light side and the shadow side. The side of them that not many people get to see. I am proud to create a safe space for you to be open, to feel seen and supported and to find your way out of the muddy waters. I'm ready when you are

My Experience
I have been Coaching & Mentoring since the beginning of 2020, just before the pandemic when I was offered a part time role with my then mentor. Before moving to full time to help co-facilitate and community manage a group program designed to support Dog Trainers pivot their businesses online during COVID19.
I was in the position for 3+ years, and was responsible for on boarding, and managing a large group of clients from all over the world. By proving education, coaching, mentoring and accountability.
I have been running my own private Coaching Practice and Mentoring Programs since the beginning of 2023, after completing my Coaching Diploma. Investing heavily in my own education, personal and business development to make sure I am up to date with the best ways I can work with, and support my current and future clients.
​
Since establishing my own practice in January 2023, I continue to primarily work with Dog Trainers and Dog related businesses as well as expanding into other service based businesses from other industries who value my client centered approach.
