🙋‍♀️ MY STORY:
As an athlete, and with a myriad of challenging experiences behind me, I know what it takes to function at the top level and achieve extraordinary results.

Born into small business, I realised my passion for business and coaching at a young age and I now have a solid background of over 30 years’ experience in key business management roles and have been a business coach for over a decade.

After a catastrophic disaster shortly after I was married, my life changed forever. One evening I awoke to our house in flames, and I saved my husband's life by pulling him from our burning home. Through his recovery, with a newborn baby and with the recession at the time, we were unemployable and had no other option but to start our own business.

With the ammunition of many challenges overcome, the need to support my family and the desire to help others, business coaching became the perfect vehicle.

My life's legacy is to be a 'Millionaire of Hearts', positively inspiring one million people to live the life of their dreams.
