Hi, I’m Lou

your partner in boldly creating a purposeful career you love.

I am an accredited coach + mentor with over 16 years of experience. I’ve been passionate about the power of coaching since I went on my first coaching training back in 2009.

Work with me when you’re ready to step off the well-trodden path and create something extraordinary. I specialise in helping professional women like you find career fulfilment, make courageous career changes, and build businesses that are unapologetically authentic and deeply aligned with who you are.

Whether you’re navigating the corporate world or running your own business, you know you’re destined for more. Together, we’ll uncover what truly lights you up, unlock new possibilities, and design a future that makes your heart sing.

Let's have a chat

Sometimes in your career or business, you hit a wall—a moment where you know things need to change, but you're not sure how.

That’s where I come in. Whether it’s finding a gentle diversion, offering a leg up, or lighting the dynamite to blow the whole thing up, I’ll help you move forward with clarity, confidence and conviction.

Transformation is inevitable when you work with me. Together, we’ll connect you to your most powerful, authentic self and redefine what success means for you. Then, we’ll design a career that inspires you every single day.

We’ll uncover and close the gaps, dismantle the roadblocks, and chart a path so clear that success becomes the only outcome.

But working with me isn’t just about strategy - it’s about partnership. My clients know I’m in their corner every step of the way. I’ve been called everything from a trusted friend to a sounding board, a mindfulness guru, and even a “psychic therapist” (disclaimer: I’m not a therapist, but I’ll take it!). In short, I’m more than just your coach, I’m your biggest cheerleader and co-pilot on this journey.

If you’re ready to dream big and create something extraordinary, I can’t wait to support you.

“AUTHENTICALLY YOU”

WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT?

At the heart of my coaching is a simple but powerful concept: anchoring your authentic self. It’s about discovering who you truly are so you can build a life and career you genuinely love. We spend far too much time at work to just count down the hours. My mission is to help you find fulfilment in your career, so you wake up every day with purpose and passion.

Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck, frustrated, and disconnected from their work. Together, we uncover what truly lights you up and rediscover the dreams and goals that make you excited to move forward. The result? A career that feels authentic, inspiring, and deeply aligned with who you are.

Most of us don’t take the time to really get to know ourselves. We’re running on autopilot, doing what we think we “should” do. I help you break free from that cycle by reconnecting with the real you. We’ll explore what brings you joy, what fuels your passion, and what kind of life you want to create.

When you’re out of alignment with your authentic self, it shows up in ways that are hard to ignore - feeling stuck, unfulfilled, or even experiencing stress, anxiety, and burnout. But when you start to live as the truest expression of yourself, everything changes.

Through our work together, you’ll learn to trust your intuition and listen to that inner voice. You’ll know yourself better than ever before, building unshakable confidence and laying the foundation for a career and life that feels completely you.
