You are meant to thrive in your life, and you have immense potential.
You do not have to be held back by limiting beliefs, discouraging emotions, self-sabotaging behaviours, negative experiences, or difficult circumstances.
Ultimately, your choices – the commitments you make and the action you take – determine your growth.
Thrive Life Coaching partners with growth-minded people to activate more of their potential in their personal development, leadership, and spiritual formation – for clearer purpose, deeper fulfilment, and greater impact.
My nearly 20 years’ experience spans formal studies in psychology, ethics, and development studies; and professional work in the social impact sector.
Over the course of my career, I’ve been in organisations whose vision and mission aligned with my interest in cultivating and nurturing human potential – and where I could both contribute and grow my knowledge and skills.
While I valued and learnt from many aspects of the roles I've held, I often found myself not thriving vocationally in the way I longed to.
So I made the decision to pursue life coaching – a vocation I believed I could thrive in.
Now, as a certified professional Life Coach and Christian Coach, I partner with growth-minded people to ignite, elevate, or unlock growth in their personal development, leadership, or spiritual formation – an incredibly purposeful, fulfilling, and impactful privilege.
I believe people are designed and desire to thrive, have extraordinary potential, and have agency.
When people harness their agency to activate more of their potential – deliberately choosing how they grow – they experience clearer purpose, deeper fulfilment, and greater impact in their lives.
Life coaching enhances this intentionality by creating space for and supporting reflection, insight, commitment, action, and accountability.
As a thinking partner, I create a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where clients are seen, understood, encouraged, and supported.
I partner with clients to clarify where they are now, envision where they want to be, and take steps to get there.
