Money Coach & Mentor
Why I Started Money
Coaching
79% of people are unhappy in their work*
​
I became a certified Money Coach & Mentor so that you don't have to be one of them!
​
The reality is money underpins all our lives. We all need to generate it, but managed poorly it traps us, managed well it's the ultimate key to escape.
​
Twelve years ago I was trapped on the corporate treadmill and staring into a future I didn't want, BUT I was lucky, I had the financial skills & knowledge I needed to position myself for change. ​
​
Are you unhappy or feeling trapped?
I can help you develop the knowledge, skills, behaviour and confidence to set yourself up for a new future.
​
Working with me you will discover you don't have to put up with that manager, that job, that commute. Maybe you can reduce your hours and spend more time with your family, or completely re-evaluate and try something new.

My Story
With the benefit of hindsight all roads led me here - to you. I look around me and see so many unhappy souls, trapped in the rat race, desperate to make change but overwhelmed about what to do.
​
I became a certified Money Coach & Mentor because I wanted to use all the professional knowledge, experience & skills I have gained to help you make brave, bold choices, for your career and life.
I did the corporate thing. I worked as a researcher for Gartner global consultancy and later became a solicitor at a top Legal 500 firm. Some would say I'd hit the jackpot - if working long hours, feeling permanently stressed, but holding a coveted job title was the goal.​
However, deep down I knew a long-term career in law was not for me. I was stressed, missing my kids and living totally out of alignment with my values (freedom, autonomy and family). However, an earlier divorce had left me in a precarious financial situation, and in debt. Viewed another way it motivated me to get to work building solid financial foundations so that frankly, I could sleep at night knowing I could withstand a financial shock. I was also deeply motivated to create choices for myself and my little ones.​
Solid financial foundations require you to manage money well, and that means you may need to:
​
-
examine more deeply what's coming in and going out
-
identify your problem areas
-
change the way you are thinking about money
-
develop new skills and ways of managing your money
-
gain knowledge to make great money decisions
-
change spending habits
-
overcome entrenched beliefs about money so you can feel calm and confident about your financial future
-
create an action plan to ensure you are financially resilient should anything unexpected happen
​​
When the opportunity came, I was ready! I have since co-founded a charity, managed a behaviour change program, I am responsible for the operational management of News Daddy and of course I have founded MoneySavvyNess - and what an amazing, interesting, and fulfilling journey I have had. You can too!
​​
With your money life sorted you can stop worrying, sleep, and take confident actions in the workplace knowing you could survive a break in earned income, whether it's your choice or out of your control. You are positioned to seize opportunities if they come. Don't live a life you want to escape from.
Do the work. So that you don't have to do their work!
​I'd love to support you on your journey to financial strength. Importantly, MoneySavvyNess is a zero judgement zone, we're all learning, it's having someone with knowledge, that you trust, that's crucial.

Build Your Own Parachute
My 8 x 1hr program is a bespoke program tailored specifically to you and your needs. My program is for you if you are ready to be brave and take a deep dive into your finances, gain awareness about your financial reality, and take the necessary action to change your financial situation so you can take the leap you want!
We will have 1-2-1 sessions each week in month one and then bi-weekly review & refocus sessions in months two and three, by phone/Zoom to set actions and track your progress.
Some of our work together will focus on the practical actions you need to take to organise your finances.
Other elements of our work will be reflective to help you identify and gain insights about your emotional relationship with money and the behaviours that result from your emotions.
