About & approach

I spent years as a military officer and airline captain, including work as a line trainer, type-rating instructor, and examiner for the civil aviation authorities. Those environments are highly regulated and high-stakes. They reward clear procedures, emotional control, and the ability to function under pressure.

Later training in trauma-informed coaching (Moving the Human Spirit), relational and somatic work (Somatica Institute), and the ICF framework (via IDC) gave me a different set of tools — tools I also needed while managing my own trauma and hidden handicap.

This combination is useful for people who have learned to manage complexity and risk on the outside, yet still feel held back by something on the inside — whether that shows up in their own life, their relationships, or their professional role.

Who I work with

  • Individuals

    Adults seeking steadier ground after trauma, overwhelm, or long-held patterns — with curiosity and without judgment.

  • Couples

    Partners who want more safety, honesty, and connection in how they meet each other — including when the past still shapes the present.

  • Professionals

    Leaders and practitioners navigating pressure, transition, or the weight of responsibility — with room for both competence and humanity.
