Hi, I am Kellie. I work in partnership with business owners who want to protect what matters most while creating the success they have worked for.
I am a qualified Personal Performance Coach and an experienced Business Consultant.
The Journey behind the Coaching
For 26 years I was the “good employee” who fitted into boxes, often labelled quirky, and always on high alert. I became an expert at masking: calm and patient on the outside, but frustrated and overwhelmed on the inside. Looking back, I can see how that constant masking contributed to my health challenges.
Every day I balance neurodiversity and chronic health conditions with my roles as a mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend, and business owner. On a good day you might never know. But that is the thing about masking, it hides the truth even from ourselves.
Coaching Through Lived Experience
I discovered business coaching during the first lockdown in 2020, a pivotal moment that connected my lived experience with a purpose led approach to growth.
Coaching felt natural. It was never about giving answers. It was about creating a space where others could see clearly, choose differently, and move forward with confidence. My business partners began taking action faster and with more clarity simply because of how I framed challenges and opportunities.
Since then I have refined my coaching practice, drawing on over two decades of operational management and business planning. I launched my own business while still working full time as a consultant, navigating all the responsibilities that never pause even when you are building something new.
The Pieces of my Puzzle
When I stopped doing “all the things,” chasing external validation, and acting out of alignment, something shifted. My strengths came into focus and I could see what clients were really looking for — ways of running their businesses that sustained their lives rather than draining them.
I no longer operate from obligation. I work from experience and clarity, partnering with business owners to shape businesses that serve their communities and protect their wellbeing.
Growth with Purpose and Clarity
For years I looked at life through a lens of scarcity. Even with a growth mindset it was easy to be pulled into the noise. Now I grow from wisdom, like a tree adding its rings. My business is designed to support my health, my neurodiversity, and my family.
I surround myself with other business owners and trauma informed and health practitioners who expand my capacity and sharpen my practice. In many ways I have been preparing for this work my whole life, and many of my clients recognise themselves in that same journey.
