Here, she shares the deeply personal story behind her coaching practice, how she balances work and family life, and why she believes every woman deserves to feel seen, empowered and worthy – just as she is.
The passion: What inspired you to set up your business?
Years ago, I was single – and quietly struggling.
On the outside, I looked like I had it together. On the inside, I felt like something was broken. I’d been through a string of relationships that left me feeling drained, used and invisible. The kind where you second-guess yourself constantly… where you give more than you get… and where love feels more like effort than ease.
At one point, I remember thinking, “Maybe real love just isn’t for me“. I was tired of attracting the wrong kind of men. The ones who couldn’t show up for me emotionally. The ones who mirrored back my own low sense of worth.
Underneath it all, my confidence had quietly collapsed.
I told myself I was okay being alone. But the truth? I felt lonely – even in a room full of people. There was an ache to be seen, to be chosen, to feel like I mattered. But more than that, I was desperate to feel whole again. I didn’t want to keep handing over pieces of myself just to feel “enough”.
It was a hard time.
I tried to distract myself. I kept busy. I read the self-help books, watched the TED Talks, dabbled in the healing stuff. But nothing stuck. The truth is, I didn’t just need advice – I needed to rebuild myself from the inside out.
And even when I eventually met someone and fell in love, those patterns didn’t magically disappear. The old fears came back. The same doubts. I could feel the cracks forming again, and I knew if I didn’t change something, this relationship would end up just like the rest.
That’s when everything shifted.
Instead of trying to fix the relationship, I focused on healing myself.
I started with coaching. Real, deep, one-to-one work that helped me uncover the root of my patterns. The old stories. The emotional wounds. I began to see how my past experiences were shaping my present – and how I was unconsciously choosing what felt familiar, not what felt safe or loving.
And with that healing came clarity. Confidence. A version of me I hadn’t experienced in almost forever!
Our relationship didn’t fall apart. It grew stronger. We’re now married. But more importantly, I became someone I could trust with my own heart again.
That journey changed me so deeply, I knew I had to help others find the same path.
At first, I helped friends and family – women going through heartbreak, divorce, dating chaos or just feeling like they’d lost themselves. Then, I started supporting clients professionally. I got the formal training, became an internationally accredited Master Coach and certified Intuition Teacher.
And now? I help single women – especially mums – who feel stuck in the same painful loop I once lived in: low self-esteem, repeating old patterns and wondering why real love feels so far away.
I created support to help women rebuild their confidence, learn to trust themselves again and attract love from a place of wholeness – not desperation.
You don’t need to settle. You don’t need to fix yourself for someone else.
You need to reconnect and empower you.
That’s what I did. That’s what I help women do now. And if you’re reading this and nodding along, know this: you’re not broken. You’re not behind. And you are absolutely worthy of the love and life you dream of.
The Launch: How did you start out in the beginning?
Looking back to the very beginning, once I had that “aha!” moment during my own coaching sessions, the first thing I did was lots of research. It felt like opening a whole new world! I spent hours online, trying to figure out where to even start to become a coach. I knew I wanted to do it properly, so I looked for credible training programmes and eventually invested in getting my international accreditation. Alongside that, I felt the importance of grounding myself, so I actively sought out face-to-face mindfulness sessions and also pursued certification as an Intuition Teacher. It was a real mix of hitting the books, developing my own inner guidance and getting practical, hands-on experience as I took those initial steps into the world of coaching.
The Innovation: What was the biggest breakthrough for you with your business?
The real breakthrough came when I stopped trying to “coach” women the way I thought I should – and started truly listening to what single mums were going through.
It wasn’t just about confidence. It wasn’t just about dating or mindset. It was about identity.
I kept hearing the same quiet struggle from the women I spoke to – “I don’t know who I am anymore”.
They were amazing, loving mums… but underneath that, they felt lost. Like they were doing everything for everyone else, while slowly disappearing themselves.
I know that feeling, because I lived it. I was a single woman once too – giving, pushing through, pretending I was okay. I kept attracting the wrong relationships and blaming myself. My confidence was low, and I didn’t feel good enough for real love – or even real joy.
When I finally got support and started reconnecting with myself, everything changed. My life. My relationship. My self-worth. And that’s when it hit me:
This is the work.
Helping single mums stop surviving and start living. Helping them come back home to themselves – so they can feel whole again, trust themselves and attract real love from that place.
That’s why I do what I do.
Because I know what it’s like to be strong for everyone else… and quietly fall apart inside. And I know it doesn’t have to stay that way.
Yin and Yang: How do you balance work and family?
Balancing work and family with (now) teens and a self-employed, often-away husband is a moving target! Like many working mums of school-aged children, I know this juggling act can make you feel pulled in a million directions, further contributing to that sense of losing yourself. Working from home gives me flexibility, so I block out work times, even for seemingly oblivious teens. It’s about setting boundaries for everyone, and crucially, it’s about giving myself the space to work on my own projects, which fuels my own sense of purpose.
When my husband is home, we prioritise family time. When he’s away, it’s our own rhythm, with them knowing when I need to focus but that I’m still around. Teen “togetherness” is less structured, more about being available when they want to talk – often at random times! So, flexibility is key.
It’s not a perfect split; some weeks are work-heavy, others family-focused. Open communication, clear (but sometimes bendy) boundaries, and being present in the moment are what work for us now. It’s about quality over quantity and adapting to this teenage phase, all while constantly reconnecting with my own needs and identity amidst the demands.
