Before the Coach…
There Was the Woman Who Survived
I didn't become a coach because I had it all figured out.
​
I became a coach because I knew what it felt like to live a life that looked "fine" from the outside… but felt disconnected inside.
​
I grew up in a world where survival came first, and emotions came last. Where silence often felt safer than being seen.
​
And where the deep ache for something more was always pushed aside by duty, expectation, or fear.
But even then… I knew. I knew I was meant for more than just surviving.
The Burnout No One Saw
For years, I did what I thought I was supposed to do.
​
I got the job. Showed up. Kept the peace. Took care of everyone else.
​
On the outside, my life looked stable — successful, even. But inside, I felt disconnected.
​​​
I was a single mum. I was exhausted. I was running on empty. I couldn't remember the last time I felt joy — real, alive joy.
​
Behind the scenes, I was crumbling. I was the one who held everything together. Smiled. Delivered. But I was burnt out, disconnected, and deeply, painfully tired.
​
And the worst part? I didn't feel like I had the right to slow down… because others had it worse.
​
I kept pushing through — even though something inside me kept whispering:
"Is this really it?"
​
No one saw it — because I hid it well.

Coming Home to Myself
I didn't heal by doing more.
I healed by finally listening to what I had been avoiding — my truth.
​
I found coaching. Real coaching. Not advice or surface-level tips — but the kind that held me while I untangled everything I'd been carrying for years.
I gave myself permission to stop performing. To stop proving. And to start remembering who I actually was beneath the exhaustion.
​
Slowly, I began building a life that wasn't about survival — it was about alignment. A life that felt like mine.
​The adult me began listening to the girl who never had a voice. Began giving her permission to feel, to rest, to explore. To want something more than just making it through the day.
​
This wasn't a leap. It was a slow, sacred return to the truth I'd buried long ago:
"You're allowed to want a life that feels like yours."
Why I Do This Work Now
I don't coach because it's trendy.
I coach because I know the weight of smiling when you're not okay.
​
I know what it feels like to wonder if this is all life will ever be — going through the motions, holding it all together, and quietly hoping for something to shift.
​
I know what it's like to feel invisible in your own life. To struggle to communicate with your partner or your children. To carry sadness, resentment, frustration — wondering why no one seems to see how much you've given.
​
I created Ignite Your Soul for the women who've given everything… except to themselves.
​
The ones who are high-functioning but soul-tired. The ones who can lead a team or raise a family — but don't know how to rest. The ones who've been strong for so long they forgot what it feels like to be supported.
​
You're not behind. You're not broken. You're not too late.
You're just ready.
​
Ready to stop living by default — and start living by design. Ready to rediscover who you are, and why that matters.
​
And I would be honoured to walk with you through that.
Ready to explore your next step?
Those years taught me that change isn’t about fixing what’s broken — it’s about remembering what’s true.
Today, that truth forms the foundation of my work as a career and life-transition coach.

Beyond the Coach
Some days, I coach.
Other days, I just breathe.
I'm not here because I'm perfect. I'm here because I'm human — and I've learned how to come home to myself.
I'm a life coach, yes — but I'm also a woman who finds joy in the simple, soulful things.​​
I love reading, cooking nourishing food, and dressing in vibrant colours that reflect how I feel inside. My son, my budgie, and time in nature are my anchors. Reflection, laughter, and soulful living are what ground me — and what fuel the work I do.
​
The more I live with intention, the more I help others do the same.
​
I'm a single mother. I know what it's like to do it all alone. I know what it's like to feel the weight of responsibility, the loneliness of being misunderstood, and the deep longing for connection and support.
