About me

Conscious Leadership Coach

Kirsty-Sydney-Leadership-Business-Coach

With over 15 years in leadership development, I’ve guided hundreds of professionals across industries – from founders and consultants to corporate leaders and creatives.

A common pattern I see? Ambitious leaders achieve external success while losing connection to their inner capacity, well-being and essence. The result? Stress, disconnection, and decisions driven by obligation or pressure rather than purpose.

I believe that sustainable success is rooted in alignment. When leaders are connected to their truth, they make clearer decisions, build stronger relationships and lead with greater resilience and impact.

Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach, I integrate structure with soul – combining evidence-based frameworks and leadership strategy with mindset and somatic practices. This supports leaders to cut through the noise and lead with intention, presence and heart.

Together, we uncover the root causes of burnout and redefine success on your terms – shifting from hustle and people-pleasing to embodied leadership that honours both ambition and wholeness.

This work isn’t just about thriving in business – it’s about coming home to yourself and leading from integrity and coherence across all areas of 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.
Shereena - Leader, Manufacturing

Me in a nutshell:

  • Growing up across multiple schools in Australia and the UK – and as the eldest of 6 – sparked my curiosity in how we adapt to change, navigate identity, and seek belonging in systems.
  • My own journey – from brief battle with anorexia as a teen to navigating corporate pressures – taught me the cost of pursuing achievement without fulfilment. 
  • With 2,500+ hours coaching and facilitation experience, I support leaders to build success that’s meaningful, sustainable and aligned. I challenge the patterns that no longer serve you, while holding space for what wants to emerge.
  • My core values – truth, compassion, and growth – shape every conversation. I help clients move from mind-driven performance to heart-centred leadership, and from external validation to inner authority.
  • I’m a lover of nature – including the evolving nature of the self. Just as nature grows and transforms, so does our capacity to shed old patterns and lead fully aligned and alive.
