After two decades in global marketing and communications - checking all the traditional success boxes by co-leading high-stakes acquisitions,  championing entrepreneurship and climbing the corporate ladder - I still felt something was missing. It wasn’t until I hired a coach to help me navigate burnout that I discovered my true passion: helping others find clarity, purpose, and fulfillment through coaching.

 

So, I took the leap in 2022, and I’ve never looked back.

 

As an ICF-accredited leadership and life coach, I work with individuals and teams worldwide, guiding them through transitions in both their personal and professional lives in a 1:1 or group coaching capacity. My coaching is built on the belief that we are all naturally creative, resourceful, and whole - but sometimes we need support to see beyond our self-imposed limits. I bring a blend of empathy, honesty, and a ton of humor to help my clients find their footing, redefine success, and take bold steps forward.

 

I know firsthand what it’s like to rebuild after a major life shift. I have moved countries five times and my own divorce after 17 years of marriage was a massive turning point, pushing me to embrace uncertainty, rediscover my strengths, and create a life I love. Now, I’m passionate about helping others do the same.

 

I hold a coaching certification from the Co-Active Training Institute (CTI) and leadership and innovation credentials from Harvard Business School Online and NYU.

 

Originally from Namibia, I’ve lived and worked across five countries before settling in San Diego with my elementary-aged twin boys and a very opinionated (and slightly overweight) Golden Retriever, Aerobie.

 

When I’m not coaching, you’ll find me sweating through an F45 workout, volunteering in my kids’ classrooms, indulging in high-quality chocolate, or planning my next international adventure - though only rarely all at once!
