Helping you thrive from the inside.
Turn overwhelm into clarity and focus
You’re successful on the outside — but behind the scenes, it can often feel like overwhelm, self-doubt, and constant overdrive.

Round peg, square hole
I’ve been somewhere similar to where you are
I’m not big on regrets, but I do sometimes wish ADHD had been on the radar for “successful” professional women in their 40s when I was juggling a career, three kids, single motherhood, and peri-menopause (because why not throw that in too?). I wish I could time-travel back and give that younger version of me the understanding and support she really needed.
I know what it’s like to look successful on the outside while quietly running on empty. During my 20-year corporate career with brands like Coca-Cola, Nestlé and Diageo, I masked ADHD, pushed harder to fit in, and burned out—until a late diagnosis changed everything.
Today, as an experienced Leadership and Mindset Coach, trained Counsellor and Mindful Self-Compassion teacher, I now focus on supporting professional women like me who either have a diagnosis or identify with the traits of ADHD.
We work to help reduce the striving to fit the mould and start thriving as yourself.
We work together to break free from masking and self-doubt, reclaim energy and focus, and build a stronger way of being in the workplace and in the world.
