Coaching and mentoring can help to achieve things you didn’t think were possible. You can be unstoppable. You can thrive.
We all deserve to have our own pair of wings, that we can use to help us tap into our inner power.
Our aim is to help you to take control of your future; without huge expectations of a perfect life, just in a way that fulfils you and gives you the balance you deserve.
We are two professional women, with small children who empathise with the challenges, fears and frustrations of professionals, new and experienced, who are trying to find a balance of self-fulfilment, family life and healthy relationships. We have a strong ethos with Find Your WingsTM to help people to take control of their future and give them the confidence and skills they need, that’s why we are delighted to have AET as our charity partner so that we can extend that support to these inspirational women.
It’s hard. It’s confusing. There’s too much information and too many demands on us. We understand.
We also have the skills and the experience to help.
We bring a unique combination of science, psychology and recognised techniques together with our experience from our own careers and personal challenges that we’ve worked through. We also know that none of us are ever a finished work of art, we are constantly going back to add another layer or remove something that didn’t work, so as we learn and grow, we will pass that on.
Learn about our individual stories below. We’d be happy to talk to anyone about the business or our own experiences, so please contact us if you’d like to chat!
