Why I do this work
I work with women in sales and recruitment
because I am one ...
Â
For over 25 years, I built my career in high-pressure, performance-driven environments spanning sales, recruitment, leadership, and entrepreneurship.
I understand targets, pace, competition, expectation, and responsibility.
I know what it means to be measured, assessed, and relied upon — often daily — while being expected to remain composed, resilient, and emotionally available.
Sales and recruitment are not just demanding careers.
They are relentless ones.
And they are environments where many women learn very quickly how to survive.
From the outside, I looked capable.
Inside, I was often holding (and hiding) far more than anyone could see.
The hidden cost of high performance
Sales and recruitment reward certain traits: drive, determination, adaptability, emotional intelligence, and the ability to keep going when things are hard.
For me, those traits were amplified by unresolved childhood trauma.
That trauma shaped my ambition and my work ethic in fact it is probably why I was so successful — but it also shaped my boundaries, my tendency to people-please, and my belief that I had to prove myself to be safe, valued, or secure.
- I overworked.
- I over-functioned.
- I took responsibility where I shouldn’t have.
- I stayed in systems that were broken long after I should have walked away from them.
And like many women in this space, I did all of this while:
-
raising children
-
suffering with grief
-
holding a home together
-
paying the bills
-
managing chronic pain conditions
-
and continuing to perform professionally
Sales and recruitment do not pause for life.
They reward resilience — but rarely support recovery
When survival stopped working
Eventually, my body said no.
As perimenopause arrived, the coping strategies that had carried me for decades began to fail. The walls I had built to keep everything upright started to crumble.
I couldn’t just keep going anymore.
What I had spent years pushing down — grief, loss, unresolved trauma, chronic stress — demanded to be addressed. My life needed to change, even though I had no clear idea what that change would look like.
I had to stop surviving.
I had to find a way to thrive — without knowing how.
That period was hard. Disorienting. And deeply humbling.
But it was also the turning point.

Why my approach is different
Most approaches work at one level.
But women in sales and recruitment don’t struggle at one level.
They are managing:
-
nervous system overload
-
subconscious survival patterns
-
conscious ambition and responsibility
-
and demanding personal lives — all at once
It brings together:
-
nervous system regulation
-
subconscious belief change
-
conscious insight and choice
-
and practical support for real, high-pressure lives
That’s why my work is integrative.
This isn’t about endlessly revisiting the past.
It isn’t about pushing harder or “thinking positively”.
And it isn’t about managing symptoms indefinitely.
It’s about working at the level where patterns were formed — and helping you let go of what once kept you safe, but no longer serves you.
How I work with you
Everything I offer sits within one clear framework ...
the RISE™ Journey.
You don’t have to complete every stage.
You don’t have to know where to begin.
You simply start where you are.

Resolve the root cause — not just manage symptom
1-2-1 Intense Therapy
This journey was designed with the realities of sales and recruitment in mind...
time-poor, high-pressure, emotionally demanding lives.
What it's like to work with me...
My personal approach
I work calmly, directly, and compassionately.
I don’t over-pathologise.
I don’t keep people stuck in endless processing.
And I don’t rush what needs care — while also respecting your time, readiness, and desire for real change.
I understand urgency — because I’ve lived it.
And I understand that when women in sales and recruitment ask for help, they usually need it to work.
