My clients have reported my approach as professional, encouraging, supportive and challenging, combined with appropriate provocation and tenacity.  Their feedback is that this creates a deep and trusting relationship that achieves the results they want. I care deeply about the ability of people to clearly and confidently communicate, so that they can lead lives that fully reflect their deepest values.

For the last 25 years I’ve dedicated my professional life to the importance of developing confidence, communicating with clarity and respect for myself and others.  I love my work as a coach, facilitator, trainer  and healer. However, in the interests of absolute honesty, it has to be said that in the past I’ve frequently sacrificed my health and mental wellbeing, given to others at the expense of my own needs, and watched my dreams wallow through lack of energy to allow them to grow and thrive.  As a result I’ve learned a lot about what it takes to call a halt to the chaos of lack of confidence, muddled communications and inadequate personal healthcare.  And I’m a work in progress. Just because I’m a professional coach, it doesn’t mean I don’t get things wrong!  My learning continues.

As I’ve grown, learned and continue to develop, I now share the practical tools and strategies I use myself, with the intention that they help you to improve your professional and personal presence.

Just so you know – I’ve been in the cancer dance (2000-2002), with intermittent health challenges since then, as a result.  Six years previous to the cancer dance, I accepted the fact that I had a problem with alcohol, checked into a treatment unit in Dublin, used the principles of a great recovery programme – Women for Sobriety – and have been loving life alcohol-free since then.
