An Oxford undergraduate degree in Philosophy and Psychology marked the beginning of my fascination with the right, non-rational, hemisphere of our brains. Even before that I was constantly intrigued by why people act they way they do – and often drawn to the ‘beyond rational’ explanations.

A holistic approach to health permeates my work and, indeed, my life. I have an MSc in Human Nutrition and a longstanding desire to support the body in finding its balance through natural means.

My multidisciplinary business experience spans retailing, service industry, consumer goods, food and farming. Clients have included Pepsico, Masterfoods (Mars), Tesco, Greencore, The Body Shop, Debenhams, Top Shop, Geest, Healthspan and the World Bank.

I informally coached friends and colleagues for decades before committing to professional work in the field, and my coaching skills are backed up with personal experience of trauma healing, breaking cycles, recognising patterns and stories, challenging societal expectations and finding my own power.

It was lived experience which drew me to systemic thinking, and systemic constellations in particular, some eight years ago. Since that time I have benefited from extensive training, including with first generation teachers Gaye Donaldson, Chris Williams, Edward Rowland, Bill Manlle, Stephan Hausner and Diana Claire Douglas.

My involvement in the sustainability sphere is longstanding, on both a business and personal front. I am an active member of the Climate Coaching Alliance and Director of the newly-created section for Climate Psychology & Systemic Change at Constellators International.

Mine is always a glass half full. Some simple pleasures that make me happy:

| dark chocolate | the scent of roses | cryptic crosswords (but not cryptic, cross words) |

Other interests include:

| plant medicine | diet & mental health | lucid dreaming |
