Are you ready to make your weirdest, wildest, most powerful, most honest work & embody heart-led leadership? 

If yes, then you’re in the right place. I can help you work through the blocks that are stopping you from making your most honest work, being a heart-led leader and supporting your wellbeing whilst doing it. 

You don’t need to be a tortured aritst anymore.

Let’s work together to build your self-belief, self-acceptance, self-worth & self-trust. To connect to your inner knowing about what YOU need to thrive. How you need to support your wellbeing, how you can best do your work in ways that support you.

Where you might be at:

•  You might find yourself in new life circumstances that have shifted everything & you’re trying to re-find your creative practice amongst that.
• Maybe you’re going through  a transition period of some kind. 
• Perhaps you’ve tried all the self-help resources, but you’re still stuck facing the same challenges that are stopping you doing the work you really want to do. 
• You’re asking “what next, what now?” and you want some support navigating your way to the next part of your path. 
• Maybe you haven’t made any art in a long time, you’re feeling the call to get back to it but that is bringing up ALL the feelings. 
• Perhaps you’re working within a leadership role in the creative industries and you keep coming up against blocks to being the kind of leader you want to be. 
• Maybe you work within a creative organisation, you’re looking to progress but you feel held back by self-doubt.

Whatever it is, I’ll be right there with you. And I want to reassure you, I’m not some guru coach who’ll sit there on a throne of golden perfection. I have been, and continue to go, through all of this messy stuff too. 

I honour your experience whilst speaking from my own where I perceive it may be helpful.

 a What I bring to the table

 

Why is it always a table? It can be a table if we want, it could equally be a forest path, a beach, a sofa, a rehearsal room, an artist’s studio. You get the idea.

This is a collaborative relationship. Primarily, what I bring is presence and openness and exceptional intuition. I am here to be present with you, your experience and what you bring to our work together. But I do also bring my own experience, training and personal skills.

•  I’ve been running my own business since 2017, first a yoga and holistic health business called Being Change that then became The Good Space until I embraced using my own name for my work.
• I set up  a theatre company in 2011 and ran this until 2023, when my collaborator & I decided to work as independent practitioners rather than under the umbrella of a company.
• I have decades of experience trying to do things in ways that didn’t serve me, weren’t designed for people like me. Basically, I’ve spent a long time listening to other people over myself and forcing myself to work in systems that didn’t work for me.
• I got stuff done that way too, but ultimately I burnt out. A LOT. As such, I’m very experienced with burn out.
• For the past 6 years I’ve been exploring doing things differently. In a way that feels more aligned to me. This has involved working with the cycles of the seasons, lunar cycles, my menstrual cycle, embodied practices, yogic philosophy, Ayurveda and many other holistic modalities.
• I’m a certified yoga teacher trained in Mindful Vinyasa Flow. I’ve also trained in Yin Yoga, Yoga with Resistance Bands, natural movement with biomechanist Katy Bowman.
• I’m a certified Holistic Coach, trained with Emma Newlyn and certified by the International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine.
• I’m a Trauma Sensitive Yoga teacher, trained with Trauma Therapy Manchester. In December 2023 I completed 100hrs of training to become an accredited Trauma Informed Yoga Teacher & am currently completing the coursework required for accreditation.
• In April 2024 I began a 6 month training programme as a Self Belief Coach, training under master coach Sas Petherick. 
• I have worked with, and continue to work with, coaches & therapists. My own personal development informs the work I do.
• I have my own experience living with chronic illness, trauma and heaps of self-doubt.

Say what?

Well, firstly  I love trees. So if I can find a way to use them in an analogy I will.

Here’s what I’ve realised through working with my clients. Our work together helps you connect to the tree of your creative life and practice. Let me explain.

Root: We help you get to a place of feeling connected to the work that truly feels like you. That is rooted in who you are, in your life experience. In your history and your heart.

Trunk: We help you build a solid connection to yourself. So you know your needs, your boundaries and you have a stellar self-care toolkit rooted in nervous system knowledge and holistic wisdom.

Branches: We help you get clear on your values, your role in something bigger and the legacy you want your work to leave. You might look at this as bringing a spiritual element into your practice, but only if that works for you.

‘”You have great potential. However, before you can harness your powers, you need to understand them. Before you can unleash your energy, you must learn how to grasp it”‘ – from Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Sue Lynn Tan

I’m a fan of fantasy novels, especially the kind with a romance and/or coming of age story entwined. Often, in these books, there’s a character who has to learn about and come into their powers. In some tales someone might be spellbound – their magical powers trapped inside them, as if bound up in a corset – felt but not seen.

When we’re navigating a transition, this can be how we feel. – spellbound.  Like our voice, powers, magic are somehow trapped inside us

I imagine you might be feeling this way too.

You feel stuck, frustrated, held back. It feels like your true voice, power, creativity, brilliance and magic are trapped inside you. 

You want to embrace your magic, but you feel limited by the ways we’re told we should do things. The ‘rules’ just don’t work for you. But that’s not a problem with you, it’s because the ‘rules’ weren’t made for you. They were made by and for straight, able-bodied, cis-gendered, neurotypical, economically privileged white men happy to exist in a world of linear progress and clearly defined boxes.

You’re realising all of this is true. And, honestly, it pisses you off. You think the world would be a hell of lot better if everything weren’t so linear, so rigid, so black and white. If things were more fluid, adaptable, accessible and non-linear. 

You’re done with being stuck in cycles of burnout and pushing again; you’re ready to make some changes. 

You acknowledge the power we hold as individuals to start creating the change we want to see in the world, and you’re ready. You want to rip up the rules and create a life in which you can thrive. You know this is counter-cultural, challenging work and you’re ready to invest in some support.

“There’s a lovely fluency in your coaching between being able to be really practical and understand and sense into the body and the somatics of the situation very intuitively, very quickly, with incisive questioning.”
