I work with people moving through home and life transitions, drawing on experience across health, housing and community strategic planning. This often involves navigating change, not just practically but also internally, so people feel more grounded and able to move forward.
A background in people, place and change
My background includes strategic planning with local government and place-based partnerships, including the NHS and voluntary and private sector partners. My focus is often on how housing and service improvement fit within broader systems of care, health and community.
I also co-founded a small residential property organisation with the aim of delivering a service that was both professional and human. We focused on customer service standards, partnered with a local homelessness charity, and influenced wider sectoral change.
Over the years, I’ve studied and worked across different areas. The thread that connects them is a focus on people, place and change.
Why this work matters
I was particularly spurred on to pursue this work by my step-mum Carol who passed away in May 2024, aged 78. She had long thought about moving home but the right support didn’t come in time. She had osteoporosis, and after a fall, went into care. Her story strengthened my belief that timely, compassionate and professional guidance can make a real difference to how people navigate change and maintain independence.
After my daughter Maeve was born in 2021, I experienced a spinal compression fracture due to Pregnancy Associated Osteoporosis, a rare and often overlooked condition. Adjusting to becoming a mum alongside this gave me first-hand insight into how health, support systems and life transitions intersect, and strengthened my commitment to preventative, person-centred approaches.
I’m now also a yoga teacher, running small local classes. I also have training in cognitive behavioural coaching and am a trustee of Pregnancy Associated Osteoporosis UK.
Ultimately, it’s all about making change feel possible while supporting wellbeing and tangible progress, whether working directly with people or with organisations and places.
