My Story
​
I'm Bee and I guide people to map a life that they flourish in because I believe this is possible for anyone who wants to be more and feel better than they do today.
​
Many of us believe the stories we’ve been told of what success is in our culture and we contort ourselves to fit in. At best we hurt and at worst we break. Many of us also have a belief that the antidote to our ‘failure’ is outside of ourselves and consequently we constantly search for ‘the answer’ like a wonderpill or the holy grail.
​
We blame ourselves for not being enough…..organised enough, witty enough, pretty enough, thin enough, wealthy enough or just for failing to be perfect and and we live our lives in the exhausting pursuit of something better if only we could work out what that is and how to get it. We know there has to be a better way to live than this.
It is my belief that there are much better ways to live our lives that are both fruitful and powerful and that we can find these ways through a potent combination of coaching, learning and the sharing of experience and wisdom. I believe that our own mind is our greatest source of inspiration, direction and answers and therefore change is entirely possible and with knowledge and guidance we can find our own path for a happy life, however that is for you. Sometimes we just need someone to show us the way who has walked the path before.
So Why Me?
I have more than 40 years of adult life behind me, much of it was spent practising how to live in a way that does not support body, mind or spirit! For much of that time, despite all the visible external signs of success, internally I was one hot mess! I reached burnout more than once, despite this I kept going, I felt I was failing, I pushed through, I knew no other way.
I was working in the world of corporate pharmaceuticals, constantly pushing and driving myself thinking that if I was Superwoman I could ‘have it all’. Over the years I experienced redundancy more than once, bereavements and divorce. I barely stopped. I was really good at planning and organising and being super practical but never really managing and processing all the emotions in my body. I look back now and realise I had no real concept of what real self care was or who I really was. I had headaches, migraines, back pain and my sleep was poor and unrefreshing, but I kept pushing through. I know no other way. Everyone else was managing just fine, I guess this just is how it is I thought. What I had not realised was that I was burnt out. I just thought I wasn't trying hard enough. That I wasn’t good enough, organised enough, smart enough - oh the irony!
​
Then, one day I did stop. My body slowed me right down because I wouldn't listen to it despite all the signs it had sent me. In lockdown I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I was so upset, my inner critic was on overdrive because I felt I was letting everyone down. Then, with time I realised I had been given a precious gift. I have now navigated my way back to full health and vitality and am recovered.
​
So, as you can see I burned out more than once. I became so unwell I could not work and have emerged from this and all my life’s experiences with a deep sense of purpose and a clear mission to help you. To prevent you burning out, to support your recovery if you have reached burnout or have a chronic exhaustive condition because it is my belief that recovery is possible. We just need to find a better way.
I coach, I teach, I share and I understand because I have lived a similar experience to yours. We all have a different map to navigate life’s journey and I can help you draw one of your very own so that you can reach the destination of your choice.

My Love Letter
Dear client
Not easy is it, having it all, it is so desirable yet feels so unachievable much of the time. Although we do get the occasional tantalising glimpse, just enough to keep us chasing. I am running just to keep up, are you? You like me are positive by nature but feel you are slowly losing touch with this, a little cynicism creeps in and it's not very welcome.
So much to do, to be, to achieve and some days it's ‘bring it on’ and others you want to stay under the duvet. You feel bad for taking a break or resting, it's what you need but it feels like you are wasting time and not being productive, it’s such a dilemma! You feel you are not organised enough, smart enough, disciplined enough……… you know you are capable of so much more …of only you could get to the bottom of your to do list. Except you know you never will but this doesn't stop you trying and you are tired of it all. Exhausted. Drained. Looking for the light at the end of the tunnel……… I have some of that light and I want to illuminate your world with you. For every dark place there is a light place, close to every shadow is the light that created it. You are a success, no doubt about that. I can help you feel this deep inside, because you deserve it.

Much love
