​
Life transitions can be terrifying, lonely and uncertain; especially when we’re used to focusing on speed, achievements and ‘success’.
We might start to question everything, including who we are. And there's a strong temptation to try to rush the process, or resist the changes
​
But transitions are what transform us. They're our route to a full metamorphosis of self. And not only are they supremely powerful, but they can also be fun! (Really!)
Wouldn't it be helpful if there were guidance to demystify the path ahead, so you could move forwards into your future with clarity, confidence and ease? ...

​

If we work together, I'll support your introspective process so that you can find alignment, joy and freedom... and avoid the traps preventing you from completing your transition.
Why choose me as your guide?
I'm a Transitions Coach and serial entrepreneur, with degrees from Harvard College (psychology and economics) and Cambridge University.
​
My journey into transitions coaching began in 2019. I was about to announce my well-planned departure from the organisation I'd founded and led for 8 years. But a few days before my announcement, I was forced into a much bigger transition: I was hit by a car while crossing the street. The irony was that I had spent the last decade building organisations to support people leaving prison with their identity transitions. Now it was time for me to focus on my own major life change.
I took three years off work to recover from my injuries. I questioned my sense of purpose and often felt lost, constrained and stuck, especially when people asked me: "What do you do?"
​
Along the way, I immersed myself in studying transitions: talking to people with career-ending injuries or non-traditional life paths; drawing lessons from psychology, philosophy, poetry, mythology, nature and everything I observed; seeking mentors who helped me make sense of my thoughts and feelings, and navigate the transition more smoothly. I documented everything I learned and shaped it into the course I'm offering.
​
Being In-Between is the course I wish I'd had when I was feeling lost in my transition.
​
As a facilitator and coach, I am known to be provocative and direct - with kindness and playfulness. I notice patterns and alternative perspectives quickly. Whether we work together one-to-one or in a group setting, I will hold space for you, be fully present for our conversations, share my knowledge and wisdom openly, and be your champion and cheerleader.

Career Transitions
Are you looking for a more meaningful, fulfilling career? It can be daunting to leave a stable, paid job; especially if you do not know what you want to do next. This program will help you gain clarity on a career and lifestyle that will fulfill and excite you, and provide a roadmap for how to make it a reality.
Founder Transitions
As a Founder, your departure from your organisation is one of the single most impactful events facing both you and your company. Avoid 'founder's syndrome' and burn-out. This program will help you maintain your energy, manage your emotions and avoid overwhelm so you can leave on a high and stay there.
Health Transitions
The healing journey is distinct. Alongside the physical changes, a mental, emotional and spiritual paradigm shift occurs as we accept our circumstances and treat ourselves with compassion. This program covers mental, emotional and physical health recovery.
Identity Transitions
During a transition, it's common to lose one's sense of 'self' along with feelings of passion and purpose. This program focuses on separation of identity from societal conditioning, labels, limiting beliefs, activities and achievements. And then how to rebuild and reconnect an aligned, authentic sense of 'you'.
Across pathways, topics we might cover together include:
​
-
separating what you innately desire from societal conditioning
