Coaching
An accredited RAISE Life coach. Vitality, White Rose Trust (Leeds)
My passion for coaching and mentoring developed through teaching and my lock-down venture of online personal training- I came across many people needing honesty, direction and mindset refresh. Specifically when teaching in theatre I often found so many young people or recent graduates seeking advice, honesty and a safe space to cry, vent, celebrate, win, fail and have a constant support network.
Coaching has became a huge passion of mine, my mission is to support people in achieving their dreams & maintaining focus, self belief and passion in an overstimulating social media focused world - every person has a purpose.
Let's work together!
