About

I know what it feels like to be pulled away from yourself.

Slowly, almost imperceptibly, until one day you look up and realise the life you're living has very little to do with who you actually are.

I've walked that path more than once. After a decade in academia, including five years working toward a PhD, I realised that what I was learning in the field, through presence, observation, and something closer to intuition than analysis, didn't fit the scientific framework I was working in. So I left. Unfinished degree and all.

I found my footing in the corporate world, and for a while, I was thriving, growing into leadership, finding genuine meaning in the work. Until, 15 years in, I realised my corporate job had turned into a straitjacket. It was paying the bills but didn’t allow space for the things that mattered most to me. So I started looking for what could come next, something that genuinely excited me and would challenge me to grow. Coaching did that. I started studying it while still holding on to my job. Once I had completed my certification and had some momentum, I took the leap. I left my well-paid, stable job, no package, no severance.

Looking around, I don't think my experiences were unique. I see people hanging on to work that once gave them meaning, now running on empty, caught in a way of life that quietly disconnects them from themselves, from each other, from what actually matters. Most can feel something is off. Fewer can see a way out.

That's the work I do with clients now. I help professionals who find themselves in the twilight zone. Successful on the outside, exhausted and empty on the inside. I know that place. And I know what it takes to plot a way out.
