I have always been passionate about connecting with and empowering people. From thought-provoking conversations with friends and part-time jobs as a student in hospitality and special needs care, to leadership and management roles in people empowerment; business development; partnership and collaboration. 

Prior to transitioning to coaching, I worked in global education, international development and socio-economic impact sectors. I learned about  inadequate support in leadership development and work-life integration. 

This is why I do what I do. I coach globally minded leaders and professionals in diverse, often cross-cultural contexts, from middle management to executives in inclusive leadership, wellness, and transitions at work and in life. I serve both individuals and organisations online and globally.

As a Finn living and married in South Africa, being a mom to two bi-national and bi-racial daughters, I’m privy to the extra challenges and opportunities that a cross-cultural context brings along. 

My career and life journey to professional coaching was not always straightforward nor easy. But looking back, I would really not change anything. My journey has truly groomed me to be a holistic coach who understands both career and life challenges in the organisational and broader system context, locally and globally. No matter where you are in your professional career or just in your personal life, I’ve got you covered.

When I’m not working, I love to connect with family and friends. I cook while listening to my favourite podcasts. Other non-negotiable ways that I use to re-charge include doing daily Positive Intelligence Quotient increasing exercises (PQ Reps) and taking frequent walks in nature.
