Talks & Workshops
Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of speaking, teaching and creating workshops for a wide range of events, festivals, retreats and organisations, including The Mind Body Soul Experience, Action for Happiness, Sunday Assembly, Sun & Moon Festival, the WI, Psychologies Magazine, Inspiring Talks Brighton and SUP & Soul.
I’ve also created and delivered workshops exploring life coaching, emotional wellbeing, creativity, personal development, intuition and spirituality, as well as workshops for small business owners.
Whether I’m speaking to a room full of people, facilitating a hands-on workshop or creating something more playful and experiential, I love bringing warmth, curiosity, depth and a sense of possibility to the room.

Wildfire Women
In 2017 and 2018, I created, organised, compered and spoke at Wildfire Women, alongside Cat Neligan, in association with Psychologies Magazine.
The events brought women together to explore creativity, work and what it means to create a life on your own terms. They took place over a weekend in Brighton in 2017 and London in 2018, with more than 40 speakers, alongside workshops and performances.
We wanted to create something honest and inspiring, a space where women could share their real stories, challenges and successes, and explore the internal and external barriers that can stop us from pursuing the work and lives we really want.
Speakers included Psychologies editor Suzy Walker, Penguin author Charlene Allcott, actress and musician Sophie Reid, BBC director Nicola Comber and playwright Amy Rosenthal, alongside many other inspiring women.
Interested in inviting me to speak or facilitate a workshop at your event or organisation?
“I really enjoyed the workshop and feel I was meant to attend as I related to everything you said— you are a wonderful teacher and speaker. The workshop was very thought provoking and good introduction to energy boundaries, which I really need as I’m a nurse!

How to Have Great Energetic Boundaries, The Mind Body Soul Experience, London 2017
“I wanted to say a proper big THANK YOU for last weekend. It was incredible and just what I have been looking for, for a long time. To hear REAL women's stories, to see and learn about their ups and downs in life and in business was so heartening and refreshing. In this world of glossy marketing and 'six figure' business plans, this kind of event is absolutely vital to help us believe in ourselves and know that we, imperfections and all, can do it too — we can live a life and find, and create, work that is satisfying, rewarding and useful and breaking the mould for us and for many other women. I finally felt I'd found my tribe!”

Workshops & Talks
I love creating talks and workshops that are thoughtful, engaging and practical, with space for reflection, conversation and a little bit of fun.
Some of the themes I particularly enjoy exploring include:
Finding Your Calling — reconnecting with what matters to you and finding the courage to follow it
Trusting Your Intuition — developing your inner knowing and learning to listen to yourself
Energetic Boundaries — understanding your own energy and creating healthier boundaries
Navigating Life Transitions — finding your way when life is changing or you’re questioning what comes next
Creativity & Self-Expression — reconnecting with your creative side and making space for what wants to emerge
Self-Trust & Confidence — quietening the inner critic and becoming more comfortable being yourself
Emotional Wellbeing & Self-Care — understanding what you need and learning to listen to yourself
The Body & Its Messages — exploring the relationship between emotions, body awareness and wellbeing
Speaking with Confidence — finding your voice and feeling more at ease speaking in front of others
These are starting points rather than a fixed menu. I’m also happy to develop a talk or workshop around a particular theme, audience or event.
