About me:

Behavioural Transformation Specialist with over forty years in financial services, including Executive Director-level leadership across Southern Africa. Founder of ANEWPAGE and creator of the GALES™ Transformation Methodology.

I work with senior women navigating the gap between capability and confidence under sustained pressure. My approach integrates clinical hypnotherapy, NLP, and polyvagal-informed regulation with the practical realities of executive performance, governance, and leadership demands.

The patterns holding senior leaders back are rarely about knowledge or willpower. They are nervous system patterns, hardwired by years of performing in high-pressure environments, and they respond to a different kind of work than conventional coaching alone can offer.

The career barriers no one talks about:

Your body keeps the score. Chronic stress from proving yourself where you were the only one in the room who looked like you manifests as:

Migraines before board meetings Decision paralysis despite your competence The voice saying “you’re not ready yet” before big opportunities Exhaustion that rest does not fix Playing small despite your credentials Perfectionism that delays your visibility

These are not just stress symptoms. They are unconscious patterns your body is enacting.

Why traditional coaching is not enough:

Traditional coaching works at the conscious level. The tip of the iceberg. Logic, willpower, goal-setting.

NLP and clinical hypnotherapy work in the unconscious 90 percent. This is where the automatic programmes driving behaviour actually live. Shifts at this level are faster, deeper, and more sustainable than talk-based coaching alone can reach.

The why and how the GALES™ framework helps you:

GALES™ addresses a common gap in performance support. Senior leaders often have clear insight into what needs to change, yet under pressure they default to established patterns.

GALES™ translates that awareness into consistent, embodied, and sustainable change — particularly in the moments where it matters most.

The framework works across five integrated phases. Each addresses a critical element of change under pressure. Progress is reflected through observable shifts in real-world conditions:

GROUND. Stabilising and regulating under pressure. 

ALIGN. Resolving internal conflict and clarifying direction. 

LIBERATE. Addressing underlying behavioural patterns. 

EMBODY. Embedding new responses in real-world conditions. 

SUSTAIN. Reinforcing change over time.

Who I Work With:

I primarily work with women in mid-to-senior leadership roles.

Performance is often shaped by underlying patterns and personal factors not visible at surface level. My work meets senior leaders at the point where stress, confidence, habits, or unresolved past experience have begun to shape how they perform now.

This includes support with stress responses, habit patterns (including smoking), confidence and identity, and the impact of past experiences where these continue to influence present behaviour.

I also offer group workshops for organisations and leadership teams using the GALES™ framework.

I work within clear professional boundaries and, where appropriate, in collaboration with medical and mental health professionals.

How we work:

Complimentary discovery call, followed by customised programmes integrating coaching, NLP, and clinical hypnotherapy. Available for individual sessions, executive coaching, and group workshops.

“I transformed what held me back. Now I help you transform what is holding you back.”
