My Background
Most people hear me speak about burnout…
but only a few know the story behind it.

My work started long before coaching
on a palliative care ward in Ireland,
where I spent my early nursing years
walking beside families in their most vulnerable moments
while quietly surviving one of my own.

Two years of anti-social behaviour and death threats
pushed me into emotional shutdown.
I lost everything.
I went through bankruptcy.

Simple pauses.
A breath.

Those tools carried me through over 15 years of nursing.
They continue to hold me through an ongoing house case in Ireland
that has tested my strength in ways I never imagined.
They support me as I raise three incredible boys
and carry the invisible mental load that comes with motherhood.

They steadied me through moving our family across the world to Australia
and rebuilding life from scratch.

They held me again in 2024
after a car accident that brought chronic pain,

and a full reshaping of my health and business.

I know what happens when you stop choosing yourself.
And I know what becomes possible when you start.

That’s why I do this work.
Why I teach intentional manifesting.
Why I guide leaders, teams, and everyday humans
to shift their identity, prevent burnout,
and lead from a place that feels true.
