Mental Health & Wellness Coaches

I am a strong mental health coach because I approach well-being through clarity, self-awareness, and sustainable change—not quick fixes. I understand burnout firsthand and help clients recognize its root causes, including chronic stress, misaligned expectations, and overperformance without recovery. My background in high-pressure professional environments allows me to support individuals who are driven, capable, and exhausted, yet unsure how to slow down without losing momentum. I help clients build emotional resilience, set healthier boundaries, and develop tools to manage stress before it becomes overwhelming. Most importantly, I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can reset, reconnect with themselves, and move forward with balance and purpose.

A big part of why I coach in this space is because I’ve lived it. I’ve gone through seasons where stress, pressure, and expectations were stacked on top of each other, and I didn’t know how to slow down. I’ve dealt with anxiety, burnout, and moments where life felt heavier than I wanted to admit. Learning how to navigate those moments, rebuild myself, and come out stronger became one of the most important parts of my growth. On the professional side, I’ve spent over a decade leading large teams in high pressure environments where mental wellness is often ignored until it becomes a problem. I’ve coached leaders through self doubt, impostor syndrome, tough transitions, and the emotional weight that comes with managing people. I’ve learned how mindset, clarity, and emotional awareness directly shape performance, relationships, and long term success. I’m also a certified leadership coach with a degree in Leadership Studies and now working toward my master’s in Organizational Development. My academic work and coaching certifications back up what I’ve lived and practiced for years. My approach is simple: help people create calm, stay grounded, communicate with courage, and build habits that support a healthier way of leading and living. I don’t coach from theory alone. I coach from experience, education, and real conversations with real people who want to grow without losing themselves. If you’re looking for someone who understands both the personal and professional sides of mental wellness, that’s where I can help.Do you like this personality?

As a trained Positive Intelligence (PQ) coach, I equip mid-career professionals with practical tools to build mental fitness, quiet inner critics/saboteurs, and amplify your strengths. My background as a Growth Marketing Lead at Google, where I managed teams and drove significant revenue growth, gives me unique insights into navigating professional challenges. I not just help them achieve their career goals and leadership potential, but also cultivate profound mental wellness.

I am a Henley Business School–certified executive coach with a background in law, corporate leadership, and talent strategy, including senior roles in recruitment and HR. I also hold a professional certification in ADHD coaching, supporting neurodivergent professionals in building focus, structure, and sustainable performance. My work centers on helping high-performing individuals navigate transition, decision-making, burnout, and growth with clarity and steadiness. In addition to my executive coaching training, I am a Reiki Master Teacher (Usui/Holy Fire and Karuna) and founder of Reunion Wellness Studio. I am registered with the UK Reiki Federation (Reiki Master Teacher) and Reiki Membership Association of the International Center for Reiki Training (Professional Member). I integrate structured coaching with nervous system regulation practices to support cognitive clarity under pressure. This approach is particularly effective for professionals experiencing overwhelm, leadership fatigue, or ADHD-related challenges. Rather than pushing productivity harder, I help clients align focus, energy, and decision-making so performance becomes more sustainable and grounded.

I work with people who look “fine” on paper but don’t feel fine inside. The ones carrying a lot of responsibility, ambition, and self-awareness, yet still wrestling with anxiety, burnout, identity questions, or a low-grade sense that something is off. I’m not a therapist, and this isn’t clinical treatment. It’s structured, honest coaching for people who want more clarity about how they’re operating and why certain patterns keep repeating. My background spans leadership, coaching, and lived experience with anxiety, depression, and ADHD. That combination shapes how I work: grounded, direct, and practical, without platitudes or forced optimism. Sessions focus on naming what’s actually happening beneath the surface, building emotional awareness without over-intellectualizing it, and helping you make changes that are realistic inside a demanding life—not in some hypothetical calmer future.

My work in the mental performance space is grounded in the adventure-driven athlete model—the belief that endurance challenges are a powerful vehicle for building clarity, confidence, and resilience that extend far beyond sport. After 25 years leading in high-pressure operational environments and a lifetime of endurance sports pursuits, I’ve seen that performance is ultimately driven by mindset: how we think under stress, how we respond to setbacks, and how clearly we stay connected to our purpose. I coach athletes and high-performing professionals to define meaningful goals, align their effort with what matters most, and develop the mental discipline to stay steady when conditions get hard—physically, professionally, or personally. I combine professional coaching credentials, including iPEC Certified Professional Coach and Energy Leadership Index Master Practitioner, with a mindset-first approach to performance. I help clients reframe limiting beliefs, manage internal pressure, build confidence through intentional goal-setting, and cultivate the resilience required for long-horizon pursuits. The focus is not just on finishing an event, but on who they become in the process—more self-aware, more adaptable, and more capable of navigating challenge with clarity and choice. Because the real outcome of an adventure isn’t the finish line—it’s the stronger leader and more resilient person you become along the way.

I coach high-performing professionals who look successful on paper but feel mentally stretched, emotionally reactive, or quietly burned out behind the scenes. With nearly two decades in performance psychology, mindset training, and resilience development, I help clients strengthen mental clarity, emotional control, stress regulation, and identity alignment. My background spans corporate sales, executive coaching, and high-performance athletics — giving me firsthand experience navigating pressure, setbacks, and performance demands without sacrificing internal stability. This is not therapy. It’s structured mental conditioning.

The goal is simple — operate with calm authority, focus, and resilience in work and life.
