A few years later, during a walk with a friend, she gently encouraged me to do something just for me — to get my colours done with House of Colour. I didn’t realise how much I needed that small act of self-care until I saw myself in colours that made me feel like me again.

It wasn’t just about clothes. It was about being seen — really seen — for the first time in years. That session was the first flicker of light I’d felt in a long time. Bit by bit, my confidence started to grow, and I began to remember who I was beneath all the noise and responsibility.

I told everyone I knew about it. One of my friends finally said, “You should train to do this yourself.” And that’s exactly what I did.

By 2022, I was balancing life as a part-time secondary school teacher (Biology and Psychology) with my growing work as a stylist for House of Colour. I loved it — seeing women light up as they reconnected with themselves was the most rewarding feeling.

And it hit me: whether I was in the classroom, in a colour analysis session, or chatting with friends, I’d always been drawn to supporting others. Teaching had given me years of experience in mentoring, listening, and helping people grow in confidence. Psychology had deepened my understanding of human behaviour and mindset. Styling had shown me how powerful it can be when women start to see themselves differently.

Helping people feel confident, capable, and truly themselves has always been what lights me up.

But over time, I realised I wanted to go deeper — beyond the clothes, beyond the surface — to help women create change that lasts. I wanted to support them through life’s transitions, help them build confidence from within, and remind them that it’s never too late to feel fulfilled.

Then one day, a friend said, “You’d make an amazing coach.” And something inside me clicked. It felt right — like the next natural step in everything I’d ever done. I did my research, found a training programme that reflected everything I value, and I haven’t looked back since.

Now, coaching brings together everything I’ve learned along the way — my ability to listen deeply, to ask the right questions, to see potential even when you can’t, and to guide others with empathy and understanding.

Coaching gives me the privilege of holding space for women the way I wish someone had held it for me — with compassion, honesty, and belief that even after the hardest chapters, there’s always a way forward.

If you’re feeling a little stuck, like you’ve lost sight of who you are or just need someone to walk beside you as you figure things out — I’d be honoured to be that person.
