A little about me...

I spent more than thirty years as a fashion retail buyer and executive, building a career I genuinely loved. It took me around the world, kept me close to creativity and commercial momentum, and taught me what it really takes to deliver results in high-pressure environments. I also came to know what keeps leaders awake at night, the weight of responsibility, the relentless pace, the expectation to always have the answers, and the quiet fear of being found out while you are holding everything together. On paper I looked successful, while underneath I was running on empty.

In 2022 I was diagnosed with ADHD, and it reframed my whole life. For the first time I could see my patterns clearly, the intensity, the energy swings, the over-functioning, and the burnout loops that came from trying to succeed inside systems that were never built for the way my brain works. Understanding that did more than help me cope. It changed how I live and work. I learned to use practical tools, to regulate my nervous system, and to lead in a way I could sustain.

Lightworks Coaching grew out of that experience. Today I work with high-achieving women who are living and leading with ADHD, many of them recently diagnosed and standing in that strange space between relief and grief, wondering what comes next. Everything I have learned, from my lived experience to my retail leadership background to my professional training, now lives inside my signature method, the ADHD Aligned™ Personal Blueprint System. Rather than handing you another generic system to try for a week and abandon, it helps you understand how your brain actually works and build something that fits it, drawing together ADHD executive-function strategies, nervous system regulation, and real self-compassion so that the change finally holds.
