A Bit About Me
I founded BetterBrain Coaching to help people perform at their best in work and life. My belief is simple: when people grow, businesses succeed — and when businesses thrive, local communities thrive too.
​
I also believe that when we understand how our brains work, it unlocks something special — the ability to lead with clarity, confidence, and purpose. That belief sits at the heart of the BetterBrain approach, blending neuroscience with practical tools to support leadership and management.
When people grow, businesses succeed — and places come alive
Alongside my coaching, I also manage Gym & Juice, the coffee shop at my local community gym. It’s part of the big changes I’ve made in recent years — and I love it. For me, it’s another way to stay rooted in my community and see first-hand how local businesses bring people together.
I’m an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) with the International Coaching Federation, and trained with the NeuroLeadership Institute, global leaders in applying neuroscience to leadership and coaching.
Before launching BetterBrain, I spent 20 years in brand, marketing, and fundraising across large organisations, agencies, and charities. I’ve led teams, driven growth, and supported leaders — experience I now bring into coaching, grounded in the realities of people, performance, and business.
