About Me
I don't coach from a textbook; I coach from real-world experience.
For nearly ten years, I've worked with people navigating major life transitions. I've lived through plenty of them myself, including career shifts, an empty nest, divorce, remarriage, navigating anxiety, and resetting my own relationship with alcohol to regain clarity and energy. I know firsthand how heavy, disorienting, and exhausting these periods can be.
Before qualifying and coaching full-time, I spent years as a Senior Manager in IT leading teams through complex change.
Coaching was a natural extension of how I managed people then, and it's what I do best now.
My focus is simple: to help you clear the fog, drop what's no longer serving you, and figure out who you want to be in this next chapter.

Mid-Life Reset Coach
Unpack the baggage. Rethink alcohol. Start asking who do you want to be.
Major life shifts like career change, an empty nest, or years of managing high-demand burnout hit hard. They disrupt your momentum, throw off your routine, and leave you holding onto habits and expectations that just don't fit anymore.
When you're constantly exhausted, it’s easy to get lost in routines that don’t fit the way they used to, or stuck using default coping mechanisms like alcohol just to get through the day, all while wondering what comes next.
As a former IT Senior Manager and certified coach, I help mid-life adults clear their head, re-evaluate their relationship with alcohol, and build confidence in what comes next.
We don't just talk about change; we figure out what actually matters to you now so you can build a life that feels right for you going forward.
When Life Starts Asking Different Questions
Major life transitions are usually triggered by visible, external shifts:
-
Career pivots, redundancy, or burnout after years of high demand
-
Children leaving home or shifting family roles
-
Changes in health, energy, or capacity
-
Retirement, stepping away from a business, or new caring responsibilities
But the real struggle usually isn't the change itself. It's the internal shift that follows. The uncertainty, the questioning of habits like alcohol, and the loss of direction when what used to matter doesn't fit anymore.
The world moves on quickly. Making sense of that inner shift takes deliberate space.
