Coach. Explorer. Guide to Self-Mastery and Human Flourishing.
Exploring the edges of human regulation, mastery, and performance
- in life, business, and the wild.I work with high-performing, heart-centered leaders to master who they are being, who they are becoming, and what they are building.
ABOUT
My work sits at the intersection of high-performance psychology, self-mastery, nervous system regulation, and identity evolution.I believe sustainable success is the journey towards self-mastery; to regulate and lead at the highest level, where clarity, courage, and embodied leadership create results.Since 2008 I’ve coached and trained leaders across industries around the world - from global organizations to high-growth founders, delivering identity-level transformation and measurable results under pressure.
WHO I AM
I coach high-performing leaders and founders to master who they are being, who they are becoming, and what they are building.Raised in Northern Ireland and now based in New Mexico, I’ve lived and worked across cultures - including extended time living in Nepal. These experiences continue to shape how I understand resilience, identity, and human potential.

MY STORY
I went from being bedridden in my early 20s with chronic fatigue, depression, and despair to leading Himalayan expeditions, guiding leaders around the world, and coaching within one of the highest-performing coaching teams in the industry.This journey taught me that self-mastery is ultimately about choice. The more we can regulate our minds, emotions, and nervous systems, the more freedom we have to choose our actions, our direction, and the people we become.I believe life is meant to be lived with connection, meaning, joy, and adventure. It asks us to choose courage over comfort, compassion over judgment, and aligned action over fear, to take the next step, however messy or uncertain, toward who we've always been.These tools, that helped me rebuild my own life, are the same tools I now share with others: helping leaders cultivate the clarity, resilience, and self-regulation needed to create meaningful and lasting change.
My Frameworks
HOW I WORK
Wellbeing Explorers & The Adventurous Way of Being
Life is the greatest expedition. The Adventurous Way of Being reframes challenge, uncertainty, and change as the terrain of growth - equipping you to navigate it with courage, compassion, and clarity, so you can meet each moment fully alive and experience life as an adventure worth living.Join us on one of our expeditions.
Multidimensional Wellbeing
Wellbeing, fulfillment, and performance are never one-dimensional. Rooted in positive psychology and lived experience, this model integrates mind, body, spirit, environment, relationships, and growth - helping people and teams thrive with resilience, vitality, and success that endures.
Tony Robbins Results Coach
I am an award-winning Master-Platinum Partner Results Coach and Business Results Trainer with the Tony Robbins organization.My coaching is built on results partnerships - focused on identity-level change, aligned action, accountability, and consistent follow-through - ensuring insight becomes execution, execution becomes momentum, and momentum becomes real-world transformation.I work across one-to-one coaching, leadership development, and team-based business results training with individuals, founders, CEOs, and organisations operating in high-pressure environments.I integrate Tony Robbins’ results-driven methodologies with Positive Psychology and the science of human wellbeing, blending the art of coaching with evidence-based structure to support sustainable, measurable results in life and business.
What Shapes My Work
My work is informed by Positive Psychology, contemplative traditions, experiential learning, and two decades of exploration across mountains, cultures, and communities.I am particularly interested in the intersection of wellbeing, self-mastery, leadership, and human flourishing, and in what both modern psychology and ancient wisdom can teach us about living meaningful lives.Since 2012, I have spent extended periods living, working, and leading expeditions in Nepal and across the Himalaya. These experiences continue to shape my understanding of resilience, interdependence, wellbeing, and human potential, influencing both my personal practice and professional work.
