Coaching for women who’ve been through some shit

Not Therapy. Not Life Coaching. Something More.

As a Performance Psychology Practitioner, I sit at the intersection of trauma and performance.

This isn’t therapy that looks back, or life coaching full of generic advice.

My work is forward-focused, skill-based, and grounded in psychology and neuroscience. I give you real tools to recover faster, perform under pressure, and grow without burning out.
