Summary
I'm a medical doctor, coach and consultant working with high-achieving women — particularly mothers in leadership and high-responsibility roles — on the physiological and psychological cost of chronic overperformance.
For the past 17 years I've worked in high-pressure clinical environments where sustained performance, complex decision-making and emotional responsibility are daily reality. I also know first-hand how capability, achievement and reliability can quietly come at the expense of rest, clarity and self-trust.
My work supports women who are outwardly coping, successful and highly capable — yet internally carrying chronic stress, invisible mental load and over-responsibility that conventional productivity advice doesn't reach.
Drawing on my medical training, coaching practice and applied understanding of nervous system regulation and stress physiology, I work with the whole person — respecting the intelligence and resilience already there while helping clients rebuild internal capacity, restore self-trust and develop more sustainable ways of leading and performing.
Rather than treating burnout as something to "fix," my work addresses the patterns underneath: why high-functioning women keep paying the same hidden cost, and what it takes to succeed without it.
I'm available for speaking engagements on the physiological and psychological cost of chronic overperformance, the mental load of caregiving, nervous system health, and the realities of ambition in demanding environments.

Interests and Hobbies
Outside of work, I value the simple things that help me feel grounded and connected. I try to go for walks most days, as time in nature and movement are an important way for me to reset and create space away from the pace of everyday life.
I love travelling, experiencing different cultures and discovering new food and places. I’ve also recently returned to learning Spanish after several years away from it — something I’ve always enjoyed and wanted to reconnect with.
Family and friendships are deeply important to me. Spending quality time with them, as well as being able to properly switch off, laugh and connect socially with close friends, is something I value enormously.
Where possible, I also try to stay active with home workouts and small everyday practices that support balance and wellbeing.
