If you’re brimming with big ideas but burning the candle at both ends, you’re in the right place.

You know what it takes to succeed as a course creator, but now you’ve found success the one thing you’re craving of is ease.

Because what’s the point in striving for greatness if the journey there isn’t fun too?

Consider me your process protector - a strategist meets implementor who’s looking out for your day-to-day as well as your end goals so you can enjoy the ride as well as the shiny destination you’re headed for. Whether you’re gearing up for a big launch, hosting a standout summit or simply looking to streamline things behind-the-scenes, I’m here to help untangle those big ideas and find out the most easeful, enjoyable way to get you there.

And after 6-years of launching countless courses of my own, and working behind-the-scenes with a few of your favorite creators, I’m excited to dig into your business backend and breath some fresh air into the systems and processes that’ve been eating your energy!

Let’’s free you up to spend more time on the fun stuff!

My Highlight Reel

Shadow of a palm leaf on a white wall.

My business began when I left my career in film production, needing to create a lifestyle that worked for us as a family with my high-support-needs son. I now run a business that utilises those same skills of creativity and project planning, without sacrificing being present for my loved ones.

I’m a true multi-passionate and in the last 6 years I’ve had thousands of students go through my courses, hosted hit summits, and worked behind-the-scenes with some of the best humans in this industry, all on part-time hours!

I’ve consistently shown up for this business without burning out by working with my neurodivergent, introverted tendencies rather than against them

And I have time to work and play: knitting, watching a comedy with my cuddly kitties Monty (à la Monty Python) and Charlie (à la Charlie Day), and going to the trampoline park with my son, as well as eating yummy pastries – one of the major perks of living in Paris!

Strategic systems helped me pull all of this off and I want that for you too!

My Values

Accessibility & Inclusion

I believe everybody deserves equal access, rights, support and inclusion in this world. 

That means I take intentional steps to make my work as accessible and inclusive to all people as possible, regardless of race, gender, sexuality, ability or disability, neurodivergence or anything else that makes you you.


Life Comes First

I love my work and am super proud of this business I’ve built, but nothing is more important to me than my family and our lives outside of work.

I expect compassion, understanding, and grace when life happens, and will always extend that same human courtesy to you too.


Celebrating Humanness

Polish and professionalism may look nice, but I’m far more interested in the squishy, messy, complicated parts that make you YOU. 

I’m here to help you accept, accommodate, and embrace those things that are your humanness while showing up for your big goals and growing a business you love.


Experiment & Adapt

Best practices are great, but what really makes strategies work is when we test and tinker to make them fit us.

I’m always experimenting and looking at things from another angle to find what works for me (and encourage you to do the same!).


Here’s how I can help you streamline your systems and find more time for the fun stuff…
