Elevate the ordinary into something special
Welcome
My passion to help others, inspired me to create Conscious Meraki,
a trusted space for individuals and businesses to explore their potential.
About me
A trained life coach and member of the ICF, I felt it important to demonstrate my commitment to providing a qualified and ethical coaching space. I coach peer to peer, and firmly believe you hold the answers to your coaching questions.
I'll partner with you to help you explore possibilities, invoke a comfortable level of challenge and nurture new thinking. It is a privilege to partner with my clients and their progress in the coaching space is a result of the trust, respect and willingness to explore life differently which we both bring to our time together.
An advocate for holistic therapy, I trained as a Reiki Practitioner and I have been delighted to witness positive emotional and energetic shifts in my clients.
My passion for facilitating change and my belief that each person’s needs are unique has led me to begin training as an EFT Practitioner (Emotional Freedom Techniques).
Being people-centred and having experienced a number of life
challenges myself, I can relate to and empathise with those wanting to create change.
I love walking when I need to restore and reflect. I find a new sense of perspective gazing out over the Derbyshire vistas. So if outdoor coaching is something that interests you, I'm happy to explore options.
In business
With over 30 years’ experience in leadership roles across corporate, public, and private organisations, I have developed an ability to quickly grasp complex situations and effectively connect the dots.
My expertise lies in operations management and client relationships, but I have negotiated contracts and procurement, and led finance and performance, quality and business development teams, amongst many roles. I combine practical insights with emotional intelligence and logical planning, always with people—whether leaders, teams, or clients—at the centre of my work.
An MBA graduate in 2010, focused on organisational behaviour and leadership, my dissertation project explored corporate culture within a corporate change programme. I gained my CIPD Diploma in 2022.
My values and approach
Colleagues and clients often describe my signature strength as building connection and fostering collaboration. I bring these qualities, with integrity, compassion, curiosity and safety.
My vision for embracing change, prioritising holistic wellbeing, and maintaining a people-centred approach is what sets Conscious Meraki apart.
