Business means a lot of things to a lot of different people. After over 15 years of experience and leadership in sales, marketing, and business development I have come to learn that business to me means being a part of something larger than myself. It means having the opportunity to make a positive impact. Whether it is for a client, my team, the company, or even the industry. It means creating positive results that further drive success, development, and opportunity.

Human Design Solutions

Early on, I relied on my left brain way too much. I didn't know myself, and I let conditioning, fear, and over-sensitivity rule my life.

This led to choosing a wrong degree, starting in a wrong career, and being who I wasn't for many years.

I kept showing up in a certain way, and then blamed others for not really seeing me!
I kept feeling frustrated and angry, and didn't know why.

Gradually, I came to see that expression, creativity, empathy, inspiration, and intuition are all a big part of me, too.

I've embraced my left and right brain strengths, and worked through much of the pain, struggles, and resistance I had built up over the years.

Now, I bring everything I've learned to help others bring out their full potential and the parts of themselves they have ignored for too long.

Working with me, you'll get:
- My experience from working in different roles in four different countries
- My mindful, empathic, and intuitive attention to what's going on for you and what you need
- My analytical skills interpreting your BG5 Unique Design Blueprint (Human Design for business)

Originally from the UK, I worked in accounting before heading abroad at 26. I spent a year in Australia and then taught Business English in Japan, where I also wrote test items for their national English test company.

I moved to Canada in 2009 to live at a meditation center. Now I support the center virtually and run local classes here in Calgary. You're welcome to join the online meditation circle I co-founded in 2020 for people who want a regular meditation practice.

By living and working in mindful communities for 15 years, I've learned so much about myself and others, how teams interact, and how the shadow can wreak havoc. Human Design and BG5 came to me from a chance encounter when I challenged myself to meet a group of new people - the kind of thing I'm designed to do. It's given me a framework that brings all my skills together to help others.

Get in touch to see if we're a fit.

"Hey! Where's the operating manual for this bag of skin and flesh I inherited?" 🤣.

Have you ever thought, 
"What's wrong with me?"
"Why do I keep doing this to myself?"

Worse still, has part of you given up? 

Well, I'm here to tell you:
There's nothing wrong with you, and you're not broken.

🙄 Take a moment, and reread that if you need to hear it again.

You never know where the next insight, shift, or that thing you needed to hear will come.

It's a big world, ripe with insights and different perspectives, so long as we're open to them 🤯.

If any of this resonates, you may be in the right place. 



As a mindful BG5 consultant, I can offer you a view of things you've likely not experienced before.

*** In even 3 sessions, you'll almost certainly get a-ha! moments. You'll have practical insights and experience validation and healing around situations or people that may have nagged at you for years.
You'll have a strategy you can experiment with at work and at home, that will open up new ways to make decisions and interact with people and even groups of people.

****** If we go deeper, we can shed light on the places where you likely get distracted, defensive, or uncommunicative. Where you create resistance.  ✅ All important things for a leader to know.
We can analyze the dynamics with a partner and even a team of people to improve communication and productivity.


Awareness of BG5 is growing. Since 2022, the Institute's courses are now accredited with IACET for Continuing Education Units (see my Linktree), and Human Resource Professionals are joining. 

🥇 Get ahead of the curve now and learn the basics of your BG5 Design.
