My Philosophy Most people look at personal development in terms of encouraging long term goals. I look at personal development in terms of internal growth, mindset management and personal - professional alignment. I believe that building mental fitness is key to mind management, giving us the freedom to enjoy our families whilst still fulfilling our professional goals. My Approach My coaching methodology increases committment to ourselves, decreases parental guilt and improves our ability to enjoy life, despite the many roles we are juggling. By clearing the mind, we are able to focus on planned successful outcomes. My Background As a psychology graduate, with a certification in Life Coaching and Mindfulness, I use my skills and experience to coach working parents to master a healthy work-life balance, that is right for them. I also run a specialist maternity coaching programme that enhances women’s transition back into the workplace following maternity leave.
