Wake to Starboard
Clarity, courage and connection for carers and creatives.
Make the change.
Purpose
Are you driven to make meaning through human connection and creativity?
Do you devote energy to your passions but struggle to find time for anything else?
Or do you postpone creative projects while you keep up with daily demands?
All in or all out? Burning bright or falling down?
Cycling between supercharge, perfectionism, overwhelm and burnout can exhaust your longterm motivation.
Change is always possible.
I work with anyone who wants to re-set.
Through compassionate conversations and focused time to be heard, discover what drives you, recharge, and find an intentional direction that honours your innate creativity.

Parents and Carers
The joys and challenges of care can tip anyone into survival mode.
Step away from exhaustion, relentlessness and chaos to reconnect with purpose, build emotional resilience and bring back the light.
I have experience with neurodiversity, in particular the impact of ADHD on relationships, careers and family life.
Humanitarian Workers
A background in social work and humanitarian settings has given me insight into balancing external crises with individual needs.
I am acquainted with the disconnect between work and home, know the highs and lows of a transitory way of life, and I understand the challenges that time off, career indecision and burnout can bring.
I have experience working in conflict settings and I am trauma informed.
Writers and Creatives
Struggling to stay centred in your artistic practice, juggling identities or becoming swamped by daily life— there are many ways to lose faith in your process.
Creative coaching can help foster your unique focus, prioritise ideas and find practical solutions to keep work in flow.
I can help you re-connect with your passion and keep your art accountable to you, so that you don’t have to compromise on your sleep, day-job or family.
