I’ve always been drawn to the spaces where people pause to reflect, question and grow.
I have worked with a wide range of individuals and organisations, from facilitating global theory of change processes to working alongside community leaders, learners and parents in participatory settings. I have designed and facilitated training for teacher educators in Somalia, mentored leaders of Organisations of Persons with Disabilities in Uganda and led global learning reviews for organisations such as the British Council, Save the Children and VSO.
In each context, I have found that creating space for reflection, listening deeply, and enabling people to find their voice and make decisions aligned with their values can lead to more meaningful and sustainable change.
My professional roots are in participatory and creative methodologies. I studied theatre and media for development and have used participatory theatre as a tool for social change, unlocking voice and agency in communities. Creativity, imagination and embodied learning remain central to how I work.
Nature has always been home. I grew up in rural Cornwall, on the edges of Dartmoor and Bodmin Moor. Later, through permaculture, I deepened my understanding of the interconnectedness and interdependence of all living systems — and our shared responsibility within them.
I now co-steward three acres of land in rural Devon, Fishers Meadows, where my outdoor coaching takes place.
I am currently undertaking professional ICF coach training with the Nature Process, deepening my practice in nature-led coaching and reflective inquiry.
