My Profile
Firstly, thank you for visiting
I have over 30 years of combined professional experience as a solicitor and meditator in the family law sector. My focus today is on offering a nationwide online holistic family mediation and coaching service that aims to help couples and individuals in conflict during one of the most traumatic and difficult periods in their lives.
Throughout my career, I have worked with various firms in the East Midlands, including my last position as Managing Partner (Nottingham office) at Stowe Family Law, a leading national specialist family law firm.
In March 2021, I made the decision to leave my career in law behind and focus on my passion and calling to help couples in conflict resolve their disputes out-of-court. As a graduate of the 'Holistic Life Coach & Mind-Body Practitioner' diploma, I am committed to promoting and encouraging a kinder and more compassionate 'holistic approach' to separation and divorce, which involves family mediation and additional support services such as counselling and therapy.
Harvard research shows that parental conflict is one of the top 10 Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) that leads to childhood trauma, not divorce or separation. Therefore, my aim is to reduce the impact of parental conflict through the birth of 'Holistic Family Mediation & Coaching'.

Vision & Mission
My Vision
Empowering those facing family break up to navigate separation and divorce with clarity, compassion, and confidence, fostering positive outcomes for themselves, their children, and future generations.
My Mission
1
To help conflicting couples and individuals to keep control of their issues relating to separation and/or divorce and stay out of court.
2
To provide an authentic heart-centred service and safe space to explore issues that yield positive outcomes for them, their children and future generations. Support separating couples and individuals to co-create happier, healthier independent lives.
3
To encourage parties to be future-focused and to keep the bigger picture in mind. Shelve issues that no longer serve them or their family. To be child-centred in decision making, if they have children.
4
To help separating couples and individuals to focus on key drivers for successful outcomes i.e.
a. good communication skills and
b. understanding their feelings and emotions. This will enable them to gain a better understanding of each other’s perspective.
5
To not only help them reach their own informed decisions about issues relating to their marriage/relationship breakup but also to help them in the transition from anger/sadness/grief to peace/happiness/joy with a clear focus on having fulfilled lives post separation and/or divorce.
6
To help separated parents be effective and ‘good enough’ co-parents.
I believe clients who are willing to work with me will find the above 'vision and mission' to be a ‘win-win’ formula.
