BIO

After 15 years of consulting for global organisations, I made a life-changing decision to leave my career & start a business. It was a leap of faith that launched me into an extraordinary journey of self-discovery. I immersed myself in personal growth, studying human behaviour, metaphysics, Reiki and NLP. What began as curiosity grew into an obsession—and through this transformative journey, I discovered two life-changing principles: the power of emotional resilience and clarity of a personal path. These principles didn’t just shift my perspective; they redefined my purpose & became the foundation of my work. Now, as a mentor and speaker, I help people master their emotions & make decisions aligned with their values and vision—guiding them to break free from limitations and reach their full potential.
