I am an identity and transformation coach who works with mid-to-late career professionals who look successful from the outside but feel disconnected from themselves underneath.

Why Identity Coach? Because Identity precedes behaviour, it is the engine room of our lives, and when we shift our Identity, we shift our reality in a sustained way.

After three decades as a conservation scientist working inside complex systems and institutions, I left a senior government role to coach full time, bringing a scientist's rigour and a hard-won understanding of why capable people stay stuck in lives that no longer fit them.

My work blends transformation education with coaching, helping people understand the patterns that pulled them off course, reconnect with who they actually are, and find the courage to live it.

I hold a postgraduate degree in the sciences alongside multiple coaching certifications, and am a accomplished natural history artist.

My story began in Africa pursing a dream in conservation.  Life took me to Australia and after leading a conservation NGO for five years I took up a position in the Commonwealth Government at the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority.

Three years later I took up an executive level position with another Commonwealth entity, the Torres Strait Regional Authority, leading the climate change and coastal program, a role I held for 15 years. In that time I lay the groundwork for a comprehensive climate science program and regional and community adaptation response which attracted well over $40 millions dollars of investment into the region.

Whilst my work was purposeful and my career successful, an emptiness inside me was growing, and I decided to follow the voice inside trying to get my attention. I had come to realise courage was part of my journey, and again I summoned it to leave the security of an on-going executive position in government to pursue my deeper truth.

I started my coaching journey as a Relationship Coach and found I was increasingly supporting people on broader life transitions related to life having overtaken their connection to themselves and what made them feel inspired and alive.

I seek the root cause. This has been the thread of my work throughout my career, and that thread continues into my coaching work.  It is in fact the reason I became a coach.  Within all of us there are buried stories, fears, dreams and they play a powerful role in shaping our choices throughout life.

When we find the clarity of who we truly are, new possibilities emerge, and it doesn’t require a major life upheaval, just an upheaval in how we relate to it – and to ourselves.

I invite you to take this incredible journey of freedom.
