A Journey of Resilience and Growth
My career began in military intelligence and evolved into leading corporate teams, providing me with a unique approach to stress management. Generally, these experiences have shaped my ability to help individuals navigate change with confidence. In particular, embracing change has been the cornerstone of my success, and I love sharing this mindset to empower others.

My diverse background led me to create the Real Resilience Framework, a powerful programme designed to foster resilience and wellbeing. This programme is the heart of my business, dedicated to helping others build their own resilience. By working with me, you’ll gain access to this transformative programme, which can help you thrive in any situation.
From Military to Corporate – A Rich Tapestry of Experience
Firstly, starting my career in the British Army’s Intelligence Corps was a thrilling introduction to high-stress environments where managing wellbeing was crucial. This foundation prepared me for everything that followed.
In the corporate world, I provided large-scale global solutions for Learning and Development, Corporate Well-being, HR, HSSE, and Finance with companies like Hambros Bank and Shell International UK. My expertise spans Programme Management, Change Management, and Organizational Development, with a core focus on change management and communication. My extensive experience means I can offer practical, proven strategies to help you and your organization succeed.
Overcoming Challenges and Embracing Wellbeing
Obviously, as a driven career woman, I set high standards for myself. However, by 2011, external pressures led to a significant stress crisis. Despite having a successful career. I was without effective coping strategies, I had to rebuild from scratch. Today, I am stronger and more resilient, equipped with tools to prevent such a crisis from happening again. Furthermore, by sharing my journey and the lessons I’ve learned, I can help you develop the resilience needed to overcome your own challenges.
Finding Balance with Meditation and Clinical Somatic Movement
I maintain my health and resilience through meditation and clinical somatic movement. These practices are my secret weapons for staying grounded, focused, and ready to tackle any challenge life throws my way. I can teach you these techniques to help you achieve a balanced and stress-free life.

Master of Stress-Free Living: Gardening, Crafts, and Music Buff
