ABOUT ME

With over 18 years of experience in coaching, mentoring, and group facilitation across both public and private sectors, my path has always centred around people — how they grow, how they lead, and what truly sustains them.

I began my career as a Probation Officer, delivering Cognitive Behavioural Therapy programs and writing reports for Crown Court judges. It taught me how people change and what gets in the way.

When I moved to France in 2012, I spent several years in Luxury Real Estate, became bilingual, and built a home with a pool in the Bordeaux countryside. But it was during the pandemic that I came back to what I do best: supporting individuals to rediscover what really matters and helping them live and lead with intention.

Now, I specialise in co-development and transformational coaching for high-performing individuals and teams. Whether I’m helping a CEO regain clarity, supporting an ex-athlete to build a meaningful second act, or working with a team of managers ready to step out of survival mode, my focus is the same. I create the space they need to realign, grow, and move forward with courage.

As an International Coach Federation certified coach and NLP practitioner, I facilitate structured group dialogue that brings leaders together to reflect, challenge themselves, and create meaningful change. These are not theoretical conversations. They’re grounded in real challenges, shared insight, and practical outcomes.

I also run Côtes d'Armor Networking, a non-profit professional community that supports women growing or transitioning their businesses in rural France. Through co-development and coaching groups, I help women reconnect with their value and take confident steps forward.

Alongside this, I continue to serve a fabulous clientele in Luxury Real Estate, specialising in multi-million-euro châteaux and coastal properties in Brittany. I help local and international clients find homes that reflect who they are and how they want to live.

At my core, I believe in balance. Not as a straight line to be maintained at all costs, but as a living ecosystem.

One that honours a person’s professional capacity and potential, while staying in harmony with their personal rhythm, environment, and relationships.

Real sustainability comes from knowing how to respond to what matters and building a life that can hold it all. That means good food, time in nature, and a healthy respect for both exercise, rest and ambition.

I support people who are ready to lead with clarity, presence, and a deeper sense of alignment.

You’ve invested in great people.

Now let’s make sure they stay.
