I handed my notice in on my 14 year corporate career at the top of the entertainment industry as a global Head of Marketing for Formula 1 due to the life-altering experience of grief at a miscarriage in 2021. A lightning bolt moment, which made me question if I was still living my dream, or someone else’s?
I walked away to create a life that finally felt deeply aligned to me through my coaching and cultural consultancy business. Before I was rocked again with the death of our beautiful daughter, Ngākau Raiona 21 weeks into pregnancy. I made a promise of presence to her in her final days, which ended up being her greatest gift to me. As I realised the depths that we can hold as humans, and the transformational power when we are present with death and other painful and difficult transitions in life.
Today, I blend my experience as a trauma informed AC certified Transformational coach, Holistic Grief Coach, End of Life Doula and former corporate leader to support others in their journey through life’s big transitional moments. Helping you not just survive life’s curveballs, but soften into them, listen deeply, and find your truest path forward through them. This is blended Grief, Life and Leadership coaching to help you navigate the griefy seasons of life that are so feared and avoided in our society. But those that if we are present to and willing to move through the pain & grief, can shape us the most.
