Testimonials
As a busy mum juggling work and family, I was feeling overwhelmed and struggling to find my way. Working with Ana has been a transformative experience. The sessions with Ana helped me figure out my priorities, drop what is not important, and make more time to be me. I feel more confident, energized, and I have the tools to get back on track when I fall off the wagon too!
Amanda, senior leader, global tech company
Ana helped me feel more comfortable and confident in recognising and dealing with the challenges I was facing. She is supportive, calm and resourceful. I was feeling quite overwhelmed when I started working with her, and in just a few weeks I felt more in control. I’m still work in progress, but I’m much happier with myself and my life.
Michelle, senior legal associate
Returning to work after maternity leave was daunting, but working with Ana made all the difference. Her coaching sessions provided me with the clarity and confidence I needed to navigate this transition smoothly. Ana helped me set realistic goals, prioritize what is important, and establish a supportive network around me. I feel more equipped to deal with challenges of motherhood.

Professional Background
I spent over 20 years working in journalism, corporate communications and PR. I had a brilliant time and really enjoyed my career. It was fun!
Everything changed when my first child was born. I asked for flexi time and was refused. This was the early 2000s, and my request was met with dismay and not an inch of empathy.
I was committed to my professional life but decided to leave the company. I don’t know if it was the hormones talking, but I did not consider what I was going to do next. I knew I had to make it work for me.
I set up as a freelancer, and over the next few years, I retrained as a coach. I had always been fascinated by psychology, and I wanted to do something that felt meaningful, not only to me but also to others. It’s been nearly 20 years, and I have not looked back.
My drive has been helping people to live with intention. Sometimes we become passengers in our own lives, but we can take control and make decisions that are aligned with what we want for ourselves.
I love working with women and support them figure out what they need from their careers and their lives.
What drew you to coaching?
I see coaching as a catalyst for personal and professional development—a process that helps people reflect and make the choices they need to live the lives they want. It is an invitation for people to live with intention, purpose, and meaning.
I find it incredibly rewarding to support and encourage people to think about what is really important to them, helping them figure out how to achieve their goals while being fully present in their lives.
Life should not be what happens to us while we are making plans. Every day is a gift, and coaching invites us all to consider how we can live our lives well.
