My experience spans 16 years of work in both the for-profit and non-profit sectors, with positions ranging from state director to CEO of my own business. Based on my own personal results of the Highlands Assessment, I dove into exploring my own greatest passions and talents. Honoring my joy of teaching and counseling, I launched my own coaching practice with the coaching methods I found most personally helpful. My coaching clients not only see results in terms of focus, clarity, and college direction, but also proclaim they enjoy the process. I am a huge advocate for living in the direction of who you are as soon as possible.

Clients include high school, college and life students.

I am a Law of Attraction coach with 25 years of working as a manager in the health and voluntary sector. I specialised in HR and change management. I now work specifically with teenagers and their parents. I support them in their roles and encourage change. My clients have found combining coaching with the Highlands Assessment to be a brilliant combination. It is motivating and inspirational and I have loved incorporating he Highlands Assessment successfully into my coaching business.

I am a catalyst for change: in everyone´s heart they know how they can be successful in their chosen path, the trick is to know how to peel away the layers to enable people to see and believe how they can access this knowing and excel at it. Coaching and the Highlands Assessment ignites this process.

I work mainly with teenagers unsure about their future and adults in transition, sometimes the parents of the teenagers as they are both at a point of transition.
