About Me

A little about me | Why did you start your business? I’ve spent years working at the intersection of psychology, neuroscience, and wellbeing, supporting people through anxiety, trauma, and emotional resilience. But I kept coming back to a bigger question: how do we create real, lasting change—not just in how we think, but in how we feel, move, and live? I wanted to build something that bridges the gap between science and lived experience, between theory and embodied transformation. Manifesting Mettle is about exactly that—helping people cultivate strength, resilience, and a deeper sense of self-trust through research-backed, holistic approaches. The ethos behind your business—why is it important to you? I believe that healing isn’t just about fixing what’s broken—it’s about expanding into what’s possible. Manifesting Mettle is built on the idea that resilience is both science and art—rooted in psychology and neuroscience but brought to life through movement, connection, and creativity. This isn’t about quick fixes or surface-level wellness—it’s about genuine, grounded change that honors both science and soul. What do you get up to when you’re not working? I love anything that gets me out of my head and into my body—yoga, pole, reformer Pilates, hiking. I’m equally happy wandering through a bookshop, an independent cinema, or a quiet café. Travel is a big part of my life, and I’m always seeking out spaces that inspire a sense of curiosity, connection, and calm. Living life on your own terms—what does that look like for you? For me, it’s about balancing freedom and stability—creating a business that allows me to travel and explore, while still building something meaningful and impactful. I want to feel rooted enough to grow, but expansive enough to evolve—whether that’s through my work, my lifestyle, or the people I connect with along the way. Any additional things you’re passionate about? I’m passionate about mental health accessibility—especially for people who feel like traditional models don’t quite fit. I care deeply about neurodiversity, trauma-informed approaches, and supporting people to feel safe in their own skin. I’m also drawn to slow, intentional living—designing a life that actually feels good, rather than just looks good on paper. |
I'd love to connect with | The type of people you’re looking to connect with? Creatives, wellness practitioners, and people who care about making a real impact. I would love to connect with designers, storytellers, and facilitators who bring something unique to the wellness space. I’m especially interested in meeting people who work in retreats, immersive experiences, and holistic healing—anyone who shares a passion for blending science, creativity, and transformation. What are you looking to get out of the Club? I’m in the very early stages of shaping Manifesting Mettle, so I’d love to connect with like-minded people who know what it’s like to build something meaningful from the ground up. I’m open to mentorship, collaborations, conversations, and creative partnerships—anything that helps bring this vision to life in a way that feels aligned, impactful, and innovative. |
