THE SURVIVOR COACH
Life Beyond Trauma
Welcome
YOU ARE EXACTLY WHERE YOU NEED TO BE
Welcome to a space created with you in mind – a space to support your journey of healing, growth, and self-discovery. Here, you’ll find coaching, breathwork, workshops, speaking topics, and resources designed to empower and guide you as you step into your truth.
You are not defined by the challenges you’ve faced. Within you is a deep reservoir of courage – the kind that allows you to rise above soul-shattering experiences, to heal, and to transform. It begins with a single intention: to lean into vulnerability, embrace risk, and navigate the uncertainty of growth with compassion and clarity.
This courage isn’t about being fearless; it’s about showing up despite fear. It’s about creating boundaries, aligning with your values, and carving new paths forward. By living with courageous intention, you can unlearn what no longer serves you and welcome a new worldview. Even more, when you live boldly and authentically, you inspire others to do the same.
Take your time exploring this space. It’s here for you – to help you connect with your courage and discover tools that resonate with your healing journey. Along the way, you’ll meet Louie, the therapy dog, who brings comfort and warmth to this journey.
In a world where more than one thing can be true, you are invited to embrace all of who you are. You are more than your past, your roles, or your trauma. You are whole.
If you’re ready to reclaim your life and move beyond trauma, know that you don’t have to walk this path alone. I’m here to walk beside you.

MORE THAN ONE THING CAN BE TRUE
a story of survival

More Than One Thing Can Be True, is a deeply personal exploration of life’s complexities, written with authenticity, vulnerability, and hope. The book delves into themes of trauma, resilience, identity, and the multifaceted nature of the human experience. It’s both a reflection on the challenges of navigating life and an empowering invitation to embrace the paradoxes and truths that shape us.
My journey is personal, but my reflections resonate universally, offering insights into the shared human experience of balancing joy and pain, strength and vulnerability. My memoir emphasises the power of owning your story, no matter how messy or multifaceted it may seem. It’s a call to show up authentically and live in alignment with your truth.
For those navigating their own trauma or personal struggles, my story provides both solace and inspiration, showing that healing is not linear but is always possible.
By openly discussing trauma, mental health, and identity, I help dismantle stigmas and normalise conversations around topics often shrouded in silence.
My memoir highlights the reality that life doesn’t exist in binaries – more than one thing can indeed be true. It is an enriching perspective that encourages readers to hold space for contradictions in their own lives.
This memoir is perfect for anyone seeking inspiration, validation, or a reminder of the strength found in vulnerability. It’s a book that not only tells a story but also invites readers to reflect on their own.
My values
My values are the guiding principles at the core of the work that I bring to you. Know that as we work together they will be the elements that drive me to do my best and to bring my all in supporting you and your community.

In my latest blog, I share why active allyship is essential and how we can all take meaningful steps to support survivors.
From listening without judgment to advocating for safer communities, there are so many ways to show up and make a difference.
Active allyship is about more than words - it’s about action, empathy, and creating spaces where survivors feel seen, heard, and supported.
If you’re ready to explore how you can be an active ally, I invite you to read more on the blog via the link in my bio.

Louie, is my best friend and the fluffiest piece of my heart. 🤎
Bringing Louie into our breathwork sessions marks the beginning of our beautiful journey in animal-assisted therapy. He’s not just a calming presence, he’s a bridge to connection, a reminder to breathe, and now, a part of the healing space we create together.
In sharing Louie with our clients, I’m not just sharing a dog - I’m sharing a piece of my heart, and the unconditional love, warmth, and support that he’s brought to my life. 💕
I can’t wait to see the magic he adds to your healing journey. 🐾
To meet Louie and to join our Friday night breathwork sessions head to the link in my bio to book your breathe.🐶

Words cannot express how grateful I am for the incredible women who attended the Sister Survivor Workshop on Sunday ✨💛
Though we all come from different walks of life and stages of healing, the sisterhood and support in the room were truly magical.
These women showed up fully, asked for what they needed, and embraced every moment with courage. Sister Survivor is more than a workshop it’s a sacred space for healing, connection, and empowerment. 💫
A huge thank you to Elle from Revival Remedy for co-facilitating and to Louie for being the best therapy dog ever! 🐶💕
Ready to step into your power? Registrations are open for future workshops in May, August, and November, join us and experience the magic for yourself. 💛
