About Me

Carers | Nurturers | Givers

I am talking to:
• The doctor who work double shifts under immense pressure. Because lives are at stake.
• The nurse who goes home to take care of her own family, after caring for others for 12 hours straight. Because it pays the bills.
• The mother who works full time while raising a family and doing a great job at that. Because what alternatives do they have.
• The son or daughter who has given up on their dreams to care for an ailing parent. Because time with loved ones is finite.

You've become so good at taking of others, thinking about yourself probably feels foreign and uncomfortable.

Common complaints among carers are:

Feeling burnt out and resenting their role
Recurring illnesses due to constant stress
Little or no motivation to do enjoyable activities
Nothing to look forward to
Chronic fatigue and difficulty getting out of bed
Strained personal relationships

Coaching can initially feel ‘self-centered’ to a giver. But the benefits will soon shine through. Together we’ll explore & rediscover your essence and what is important to you. How to prioritize yourself is ways that are manageable, practical and resonate with your truth. Our partnership exists for your benefit. My job is to be your personal cheerleader. Celebrating the wins, big & small.

There is no cookie cutter approach to helping a carer look after themselves. I coach intuitively and in the moment and my process is based on each individual's story, starting point, and end goal.

Why do I do what I do?
Apart from being a nurse, birth doula and holding a BA in psychology, I too am a carer, giver and nurturer. During lockdown I attended an ICF accredited coaching course. My training was invaluable and my tool box is overflowing, but my life experience, challenging as it was, is what has made me the coach I am today.

No work has ever felt more important to me. It's a cliche but it's true, you can't give from an empty cup. I would love to help you fill up your cup.
