My range of courses and events including 5 day challenges; retreat days; monthly book club and programmes will help you make progress and meet deadlines.

Featured Clients
Through my expert courses, vibrant researcher community and high-ranking podcast, I work to inspire a grounded, tangible and self-affirming sense of “Yes! I really can do this” for doctoral candidates.
I don’t believe in cookie-cutter “how to guides” that swamp you with more information. Instead I focus on identifying what is blocking your progress and help you bypass overwhelm and self-doubt, generating momentum through consistent implementation to move you closer to successfully completing your thesis.
