About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find the deepest meaning in life. Empower other people by helping them have insights about themselves. Connect, learn and share.

ABOUT ME

For the past five years I've been doing lots of personal development, with the aim of discovering what I really want to do in the world. Through it, I've found a passion for helping other people do that too, and am now speaking in schools about how to find yourself and be yourself! I also coach emotional intelligence, which helps people find out how they feel, resolve conflict and build a vision for who they are and who they want to be.

PHILOSOPHY

In this moment, what is the kindest, or best, or most positively impactful thing I can do? If it felt like I was really bringing some life, something good, into the world, what would I be doing?

Interests

My main loves are playing piano, drawing and break dancing.
I also love public speaking.
I like having meaningful conversations with people. Everyone has a message for everyone, somehow.
Going for walks in the country and seeing vast scenery, always grounds you.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach piano and bboying.
I also coach emotional intelligence. So I help people find out how they feel and resolve conflict. I like saying to people that they can bring me their worst possible problem to me and together we'll either solve it, or bring some kind of resolution to it. Either way you'll feel a load better afterwards. I LOVE sharing this so please enquire if you'd like to have a go and I'll certainly share for free in exchange for a couch or bed!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I coach emotional intelligence, which means I help people resolve conflict and come to clarity. It can be with anything in life. My clients have huge breakthroughs in sessions, whether it be coming to peace with something or finding the strength they need to carry something out. I would love to share this if you're game!
