Regenerative coaching, facilitation and consultation
What do you want to be when you grow-UP?
grow UP: light UP: show UP
Grow into the person you were meant to be and nurture your world with love, purpose, and resilience.
I’m a certified coach with nearly twenty years experience, a specialism in burnout and life transitions, expertise in founding small enterprises, and a deep connection to nature, all grounded in sustainability, permaculture and regenerative practice.
I’ve made plenty of mistakes and learnt lots of lessons and I’m still on my journey. I’ve worked with some amazing teachers from being mentored by Mac McCartney (The twin path), to training in Eugene Gendlin’s Felt-Sensing Focusing with Natasha Lythgoe (art of rewinding).
I reached a point where much of my work felt like supporting people to work in a broken system. The real human struggles we were working together to solve were simply part of the system they were working in.
So I started helping people to get better at connecting to what they really wanted from their one wild and precious life. Working together to get clarity on their ambitions, then build towards achieving them.
If you feel like being more connected to you life, if you want to be an adventurer rather than a passenger, if you want to do something amazing - let’s talk. I’d love to be on your team.
“All you can do for another person is be an environment in which if they wanted to come up for air, they could.”
— Ram Dass
Grow-Up coaching is for people at a life transition point.
Are you;
trying to turn dreams into a reality,
working hard but struggling to move forwards,
outwardly capable, but inwardly questioning,
feeling burnt out or depleted,
moving through a midlife change,
redefining what ‘success’ means,
wanting a meaningful next chapter?
Would you like;
clarity,
confidence,
renewed energy and enthusiasm,
decisions aligned with your values,
a life that feels more like yours,
a support system that wants your success?
Grow Up is coaching for humans ready to root deeper and rise higher.
Do you feel burned out, stuck, frustrated, or slightly lost? Are you holding it all together on the surface, but inside wondering, ‘Is this what being a grown-up is supposed to feel like?’.
Here, we’re redefining adulthood. Not as pressure, perfection or endless self improvement, but as the quiet confidence to nurture your world with love, purpose and resilience.
Your world starts with your own body, your inner dialogue, your self-image. It includes your relationships, your home, your work, your community, and it includes the earth beneath your feet.
When you have clarity on the challenges you face and what is important to you, you can take responsibility for what’s yours to tend. You begin to feel more grounded and excited about the future. Even when the world feels chaotic; you reclaim agency, impact and presence.
You don’t need to solve everything - growing-UP isn’t just about maturing. It’s about becoming deeply you; rooted and rising, soft and strong, wise and awake.
The Grow-Up process
-
Growing up isn’t about having everything figured out.
It’s about developing a deeper relationship with yourself, taking responsibility for the life you want to create, and learning how to move through change with courage and compassion.
We all need strong roots, careful tending and space to grow.
The Grow-Up process helps you reconnect with what matters to you, to understand what is holding you back and to create meaningful movement towards the person you are becoming.
This isn’t a linear process. It is more like a living cycle, and we sometimes need to return to our roots before we grow again.
This is Regenerative work. Soul work. It can be fast and fierce, or slow and gentle. We move at the pace of what feels right.
-
Before we can grow, we need to understand the soil we are in.
Rooting is about telling your story, understanding yourself, your values, your patters and, what has shaped you. What parts have been neglected. Where are you living from expectation and habit rather than choice and growth.
Together we explore the patterns, beliefs and expectations that have shaped your life.
Not to judge or blame, but to understand your journey.
When you know your roots and the soil you are in, you can make choices from clarity rather than reaction. You can start to parent your younger self and release old stories.
-
Exploring what is important to you and what is yours to tend and nurture. This might include;
your physical and emotional wellbeing
your relationships,
your work and ambitions,
your boundaries,
your environment
the commitments you carry
the things that drain or restore your energy.
Growing UP means recognising what is yours to tend. It is not about taking responsibility for everything. It is not about carrying everyone else. It is about identifying where your focus and nurture will move you towards your vision of a positive future.
A meaningful life isn’t built by changing everything at once.
It’s created by noticing what needs attention.
Tending is where insight becomes action.
-
Creating what comes next for you to grow into your next journey.
Together we build a mix of achievable practical actions, a road map, and a ‘lighthouse’ vision to help guide decisions and inspire motivation.
It’s not about becoming a different person. It about building a map to becoming more fully yourself.
Together we will explore realistic and achievable goals towards a more authentic life.
Growth requires courage.
It asks us to leave behind versions of ourselves that once protected us, but no longer serve us.
The aim is not perfection but progress. Finding ways to stretch you out of your comfort zone, but in ways that help your nervous system feel safe.
We build steps towards a life that feels rooted, purposeful and alive.
Our Offers

Growing UP can be complicated.
Many young people today are navigating a world full of choice, pressure and uncertainty. Traditional pathways have changed, expectations are shifting, and it can be hard to know where to put your energy.
Do you feel confused about what to do with your one true precious life?
You might be asking;
What am I good at?
What kind of person do I want to be?
What does success look like and how do I get there?
How do I create a life with meaning and security?
Coaching and mentoring creates space to explore these questions honestly, and provides a grounded space to become a capable, confident and compassionate adult.
For young adults who are looking to develop their strengths and move forwards with purpose.
-
For those asking, ‘How do I build a life that feels like mine?’
Sometimes the problem isn’t lack of direction. It is navigating a life transition; from a life that no longer fits, to one that resonates more deeply.
Together we can explore;
What does success mean to you now?
What are you ready to let go of?
How might you harness your entrepreneurial ambitions?
How might the next decades be if you felt alive and renewed?
This is a space for reflection, challenge and renewal.
For anyone navigating change, transition, midlife or a new season.
-
‘How do I perform in a way that is sustainable, meaningful and aligned with who I am?’
Perform with Purpose is coaching for professionals who want to create impact without sacrificing their wellness, values or sense of self.
Together we explore;
Is working harder bringing better results or risking burnout?
Are you balancing wellness with productivity?
How might you lead and achieve while still honouring the things you value?
What does success mean to you now?
This offer is for professionals, leaders and creatives who want their work to be successful, sustainable and purposeful.
This is a space to step out of the noise and reconnect with what matters, and make conscious choices about the next stage in your career and life.
-
Sometimes what we need most is not advice.
Not another podcast.
Not another productivity system.
Just space to think out loud. Space to say the things that have been circling around our minds for weeks, months or even years.
Many of us carry important questions alone. Questions about work, relationships, identity, purpose, health, family or the future. We wrestle with them internally, hoping clarity will arrive by itself.
Next Chapter Conversation is a 90 minute supported thinking space. It wont solve everything, but it will create movement.
-
Coaching for when you’re ready to come home to yourself.
My 1:1 coaching is a space for honest conversation, deep listening and crafting a route for meaningful change. It is an invitation to explore what is real for you and a space to dream of the future you and how to get there.
You might come with a clear question or challenge. You might come with a foggy feeling. You might come with feelings of loss after burnout. You might come with frustration and shame.
How ever you arrive we will begin where you are and agree what a successful outcome would look like.

Where are the elders?
Where are the wise, grounded adults who can help guide us through these chaotic times?
I’ve asked myself that question for years. And I have met a few along the way. But I’ve realised that the deeper answer is that we must become them.
I’m a certified burnout coach, regenerative leader and mentor to business and social enterprises. I work with a wide range of humans of all ages, helping to clarify goals and move through old patterns that no longer serve.
For the last ten years I have tried to walk the twin trail: offering my gifts in service to the world, while learning to tend my inner landscape. I am still learning and still get knocked about by life. I’ve been burnt-out, I’ve had failures, I’ve made mistakes and I’ve been battered and bruised. There have been tears, frustrations and a few regrets. I’ve also had joy, shared love, been rewarded and had meaningful impact on the world.
I’m guided by the belief that adulthood is not a destination but a daily practice. A choice to care for my corner of the world with love, purpose and resilience.
I’m also a single father to two wild and wonderful daughters. And if I’ve learned anything from them it is that I am still learning and growing. But we don’t have to do it alone.
