I’m a marketing coach, copywriter and trainer. I work with small business owners and freelances (usually, but not exclusively, women) to help them improve their marketing, and attract more of the clients and customers they want.

My training began at Diageo plc, where I learned marketing and branding from the experts behind such iconic brands as Guinness, Johnnie Walker and Smirnoff. As a freelance writer I’ve worked for the Press Association and had many articles and columns published in magazines and online. At Diageo I was also corporate communications manager for 5 years, writing website content, newsletters, best practice manuals and more.

I trained as a coach in 2004 and graduated from The Coaching Institute with one of the highest exam scores ever given. I’m also a qualified Reflexologist and Reiki Master.

When I left the corporate world in 2005 I freelanced as a holistic therapist, life coach, journalist and copywriter. In 2006 I combined my knowledge of branding and marketing with my coaching and writing skills to provide marketing coaching, copywriting and training to other small business owners, in order to help them grow their business.

I live in rural north Essex with my husband and our beautiful son. When I have time, I love to indulge in my favourite hobbies: gardening (particularly herbs, fruit and vegetables), creative writing and cryptic crosswords.
