As a kid, I used to be a shrinking violet and I used to count to 3 in my head to be able to speak aloud. Counting was the only way I was able to muster up the courage to get my voice heard.

Fast forward 13+ years. I came out, experienced homophobic workplace bullying and got myself into a bit of a physical mess.

Enough was enough. It was time to take control of my life! I went from a Size 16 to a Size 6, released the past and left my teaching role behind.

I wrote a book about the strategies I used to go from a size 16 to size 6 (with no dieting or supplements) and to clean up my mind. It went on to become a best-seller!

On my journey I created the Authentic Self Process; an extraordinary powerful system to re-connect you to your Authentic Self.

Now… I am a world-renowned Authentic Self Trainer and Coach for Fortune 500 companies, leading global organisations and individuals, specialising in being your Authentic Self and transgender, non-binary and LGBT+ inclusion training.

I am called upon regularly to advise and consult on best practice for actors playing LGBT+ characters in film, TV and theatre. I created the Playing It Gay Guidelines, for straight actors playing gay characters. These are being raved about both on and off set!

My work has been featured widely in the media, including BBC, The Telegraph, Psychologies, Cosmopolitan, The Times, Pink News, Vice, Gay Star News, Diva and Curve.
