My story

I am passionate about helping people feel more at home in themselves — mentally, emotionally, and physically.

For a long time, I wasn’t.

During my years in the City — first in investment banking at Goldman Sachs, then in financial PR — I looked like I was doing well from the outside. But inwardly, I was navigating anxiety, insecurity, and chronic fatigue, without really understanding why. I didn’t realise the impact that my state of mind and the way I was living were having on me — or that there was another way to experience life.

A turning point came when I took time out to study for an MA in Classical Acting at The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. There was nowhere to hide. Metaphorically speaking, I was stripped bare — which was momentarily terrifying, but ultimately liberating.

Again and again, I was told to get out of my head. And slowly, the penny began to drop.

I became fascinated by how often we feel we need to present a version of ourselves to fit in — to be accepted, to belong. I even ended up writing my dissertation on the concept of the social mask.

In the years that followed, I became increasingly curious about what really helps people thrive — not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too. I founded a personal training business, working with busy professionals. But I quickly saw that what happened in our sessions wasn’t enough. The real change came when we looked at sleep, stress, food, mindset — the bigger picture of how someone was relating to themselves and their life.

That bigger picture became the foundation of everything that followed.

In 2013, I co-founded Gazelle Partners, a corporate wellbeing business focused on sustainable behaviour change. We combined lifestyle medicine with a deep understanding of how the mind works, supporting thousands of people through one-to-one coaching and digital programmes with clients like Google, Accenture and Red Bull.

Today, my focus is more personal. I work with individuals who want to experience life differently — whether they’re students, CEOs, or somewhere in between. Some feel stuck, others are doing fine but sense there’s more ease, confidence, or clarity available to them. I also run insight-led programmes and continue to support organisations through talks and workshops.

It’s an honour to walk alongside someone for a while — not to fix them, but to help them see more of who they already are, and who they are on a journey to becoming.
