About Me
Leadership Coach
Passionate about human psychology and growth, I’ve spent 15 years in leadership development, coaching hundreds of professionals across industries.
A common theme I’ve noticed: the incongruence between the energy high achievers give their work compared to their own well-being.
As a firm believer that authenticity is key to wellness and sustainable success, I support leaders to align their inner and outer worlds, fostering deeper connection and fulfilment.
My approach involves empowering exhausted professionals to redefine success, speak their truth and prioritise holistic well-being. By addressing the root cause of burnout and realigning their actions with their core values, my clients step into leadership with clarity, confidence and impact – both at work and in life.
Kirsty had a profound impact on me and helped me transform my leadership style 360 degrees…Kirsty helped me dig deep and realize that my wellbeing is the most important thing for me, and I can only be an authentic leader if I feel good about myself and am happy with the professional environment, I am in. I learnt to push back when needed and manage upwards better.
I am a whole new person thanks to Kirsty. I have learnt to set healthy boundaries with my team, peers and especially seniors and this now makes my work so much more enjoyable and rewarding. I have learnt to get in touch with my softer side and apply a healthy mix of different skills to my leadership journey to achieve the desired result.

Me in a nutshell:
- My own wellness journey started as more of a stroll than a sprint. From overcoming a brief battle with anorexia as a teen to navigating the pressures of corporate life as an adult, I understand the challenges of maintaining balance.
- After juggling roles in project management, business development and consulting, I ventured into freelance coaching to support others in their own transformation from exhaustion to empowerment.
- I’ve guided hundreds of professionals to shift from head-based decision-making to heart-centred living, so they can lead authentically and experience greater fulfilment.
- Growing up as the oldest of 6 siblings ignited my curiosity in different personalities and motivations, while attending 5 primary schools and 3 high schools across Australia and the UK inspired an ongoing exploration of my relationship with change and belonging.
- My experiences have shaped my coaching philosophy, which is rooted in values of truth, compassion, growth and freedom.
- I’m a lover of nature, including the evolving nature of the self. Just as nature undergoes constant change and growth, I believe in the ever-evolving potential within each individual.
