I have never felt entirely at home in the roles women are handed. From an early age, I sensed there was more available to us than what we were often shown. I have always had a high appetite for life, for pleasure, for freedom, for depth. I have met many versions of myself already and I know there are many more still to meet.

My path into this work is inseparable from my life.

In my early twenties, I experienced the sudden loss of my younger brother. Around the same time, addiction in different forms continued to shape my family landscape, something that had been present throughout my upbringing. I became a mother in the midst of all of this. The convergence of grief, responsibility, love and fear destabilised me in ways I had never known before. I faced daily panic attacks, debilitating rage, depression and postnatal psychosis. My inner world felt volatile and frightening, and the coping mechanisms I had relied upon in my younger years were no longer available to me.

What followed was a long and often uncomfortable return. Through therapy, 12-step work, spiritual practice, study and the guidance of extraordinary teachers, I began to rebuild a relationship with myself. I learned to stay present to my interior world rather than override it. I learned that darkness is not an error but a depth, and that complexity is not something to solve but something to inhabit.

Alongside this inner work, I built and led businesses. I founded The Pressery, one of the early dairy alternative brands in the UK, which became one of the fastest funded businesses on Crowdcube and went on to stock nationally. I co-authored A Simple Table, a cookbook exploring food and ritual as anchors for a life in balance. I stepped into corporate strategy as Head of New Business within an organic food company, where I deepened my understanding of structure, delivery and growth.

And yet, the work that continued to call me was relational and reflective.

I retrained as a life coach through Animas, an ICF-accredited programme, and completed 220 hours of Kundalini yoga teacher training. I teach breathwork and continue to study philosophy, spirituality and the psychology of change. My work now sits at the meeting point between lived experience, formal training and a deep trust in the unseen dimensions of life.

On Balance grew from that meeting point.

I believe each of us carries a unique interior pattern, a rhythm that cannot be standardised or optimised. Much of our suffering comes from losing contact with that rhythm, from trying to fit ourselves into narrower expectations. My work is to create spaces where you can listen again, where you can recognise the many selves within you, and where you can move through your life with greater coherence and permission.

I live in Somerset with my husband and our three daughters. My life is full, imperfect and alive. I am still meeting new versions of myself, and I imagine I always will be.
