I have a solution-focused approach to coaching, grounded in Polyvagal Theory. I am passionate about how Polyvagal Theory can help us befriend our nervous system and build capacity when facing challenges. I completed Deb Dana’s comprehensive foundations training course in 2020 and I currently working as a consultant on Deb Dana’s international training programme.
