I Want A World Where...

we all feel empowered, strong, healthy and excited for the next transition life brings.

Where all women are in alignment, trust and peace with how to care, nurture, and feed their mind, body and soul- no matter where they are in their life’s journey.

And I believe

You deserve to feel strong, vital, and in killer shape no matter whether you’ve had kids and no matter what age you are.

And I believe enjoying consistent energy, emotional stability, being well-nourished and at peace with your body… regardless of what is going on in the world, your career, your personal life is your birth right.

Our transitioning bodies should not fill us with fear and dread.

And I believe, that although we’re all collectively tired of being left out of scientific research and medical education..

… we can rise above the system that so often dismisses and misdiagnoses our very real symptoms

and take back control, and feel nourished and empowered by our choices.    

We demand so much from ourselves, and so much is expected of us.

Building and sustaining successful careers, working long hours, having and raising kids, maintaining and nurturing successful relationships… let alone the pressure of how we look, our size, our weight.

Nobody teaches us how to approach our health, our shifting hormones either from pregnancies or perimenopause [or both: women ages 30-39 now make up the largest age group giving birth at a time that many women see the starting signs of perimenopause.]

And it especially doesn’t teach us how to do that within the regular life obligations like a job that needs us to bring our A-game, juggling family needs, endless adulting responsibilities…

This is why I do the work that I do.

Quick Facts About Me

01 | Growing Up

I’m a British gal, born and raised, but I’ve been living in the USA for the past 25 years.

02 | Business Background

My college degree is in Law, I started my career as a lawyer at 24 years old. I went on to run my own Law Practice with my hubby, which within that time I had our first 3 babies. 

My Healthy Lifestyle Transformation programs came directly out of my intimate and up close personal experience of my own hormone and body recomp journey through 7 births and perimenopause while working full time- and healing decades of binge eating, disordered eating, and poor body image.

Media commentator for women's health challenges around pregnancy and birth while navigating careers, as well as peri and menopause education and support.

Based on using techniques that focus on a mind-body holistic approach, behavioral psychology and neuroscience, balancing the body’s biochemistry, mind sets, nutritional adjustments and the science of habit stacking.

03 | Marriage & Children

I have 7 children born over three decades! 3 girls and 4 boys. Interesting fact: I have a morbid fear of hospitals and so all my children, except the first (not for lack of trying after three days!) were born at home alongside my hubby and my midwife. Other than having them, and marrying my hubby (wow it’s 29 years in!), it was the best decision I ever made.  

04 | Hardship Made Me Stronger

When I was pregnant with our 5th baby the 2008 global recession hit and we went from being worth $3.2 million to losing nearly everything plunging us into heart-wrenching adversity, abject poverty and the cycle of not having enough food.

The silver lining? We embraced a holistic lifestyle, learning to cook from scratch, make our own cleaning products, and become deeply vigilant about our health because we had no health insurance.


05 | Overcoming Health Challenges

My Story: From Divorce Attorney to Marriage Coach

I’ve seen it all—broken trust, emotional disconnection, and relationships on the brink of collapse. As a divorce attorney, I witnessed firsthand the destructive patterns that destroy marriages.

📌But I also discovered something profound:

Marriage crises don’t happen overnight.
Couples don’t need traditional therapy—they need a roadmap to rebuild.
Transformation is possible with the right strategies.

When my wife and I faced our own challenges—losing $3M while raising five children and expecting our sixth—we didn’t crumble. We rebuilt. Together.

That’s when I realized my true calling: helping couples rebuild their relationships before it’s too late.

Living What I Teach

I don’t just talk the talk—I live it every day.


I’ve faced financial collapse, health challenges, and the pressures of raising a large family—while keeping my marriage strong.
I’ve helped thousands of couples rebuild trust, reignite intimacy, and transform their relationships.
I provide practical, no-BS strategies that work.

As a divorce attorney and mediator, I’ve seen firsthand the destructive patterns that lead to the breakdown of relationships. This experience shaped my coaching philosophy: helping couples before it’s too late.

A Little Background

📌 Featured in: Washington Post, Law Society Gazette, BBC—recognized for my work in family law & marriage coaching.
📌 Nicknamed "The Marriage Whisperer" for my ability to help couples heal—even in the middle of divorce proceedings (to the frustration of opposing lawyers!)
📌 Worked with high-profile celebrities, CEOs, and professionals—as well as those receiving legal aid. No matter your background, marriage struggles have common patterns and solutions.

The Hard Truth?

Most people wait too long to fix their marriage.

The good news? You don’t have to.

No matter where you are in your life right now, you have the power to transform your relationship.

My Journey

I started my law practice after years in the field, eventually pleading cases before the Supreme Court.

When I met my wife, everything changed. Within four years of marriage, we had three children while managing my law firm together.

Then came the financial crash of 2008, where we lost $3.2 million. Instead of falling apart, we grew stronger.

This taught me valuable lessons and incredible insights.

I’ve learned that high-achieving professionals often push through emotional pain without addressing it. But just like a high-performance athlete who never rests, burnout is inevitable.

If that burnout is left unchecked, it often leads to resentment and losing vibrancy for both their life and their marriage.  

I’ve also learned that a truly connected, intimate and deep relationship comes from letting go of society’s expectations for how your marriage and your life should look, and instead adopt your own beliefs for what works for you as a couple.

When we lean into our brave, authentic and sometimes unconventional choices (like me working and living side by side with my wife every day for the last nearly 30 years!) we find that magic formula that helps take us through every crossroad, block and turning point squarely together… and enables struggles to turn into united growth.

This creates a sacred safe space that fuels the will and momentum for each partner to show up every day, check their ego at the door, and put intentional effort into their relationship and personal growth.

What I’ve observed in my work over the last several decades is that it can be one of the most difficult challenges for a couple to not just openly acknowledge that something is ‘off‘  between them… but to also acknowledge that something needs to change.

It all most ‘feels’ more comfortable to stay stuck and unhappy than give up their ‘identity’ or ‘way of being’ as a couple as they are right now.

Transformation is not always easy, let alone when there are two people involved, and especially if one of them seems to have already ‘checked out’ of the relationship.  

But there is another way, and on the face it of it this other way may not look sexy, exciting, romantic.

Creating an enduring, passionate love affair is not just about the love itself- it’s about learning the systems and skills to cultivate it and keep it 🌷blooming.

 

My core methodology at Relationships Rebuilt, is focusing on you as a whole being operating within the ecosystem of your relationship, your life, and the world around you.

The job that you do, the children you may have, the time stressors that make up your day, the daily responsibilities you have, the unhelpful baggage you’ve experienced or picked up along the way… these all impact your relationship.

Your relationship can find itself turning into an estranged and toxic cycle.

Stuck in an unhealthy relationship loop of trust-erosion patterns and relationship conflict- you have little to no trust and faith in the relationship. 

But here’s the truth.

You do have the power to fix your marriage.

You just need the routine and the skills to do it.

It needs to be simple not complicated.

(Notice I said “simple,” not “easy”!)

This is especially true when your partner has a more challenging personality type like a narcissist, extremely avoidant, overly critical or highly passive.

Using a mix of…

scientifically-backed coaching tools, cutting-edge science, neuroscience, leading-edge psychology- especially around behavioral change and creating healthy automated healthy communication and habit loops (yep- I know it doesn’t sound sexy but it works like magic!)

… I help you improve communication, rebuild trust, navigate conflict, and reignite intimacy.

TRANSPARENTLY.

But… to be transparent, I will also give you feedback where you’re giving it your all but it’s time to consider letting go. In those cases, I will help you end your relationship amicably- especially necessary when you’re co-parenting.

I’ll help you shift the energy from ‘brokenness’ and heartbreak to kindness when ending a relationship, with or without the help of your partner; and identify, tackle, heal, and release negative baggage and patterns from it so that you can start with a clean slate for your next relationship.

If you’re a part of my Relationship Rebuilt Coaching Program it comes with life membership so you’ll get my continued support, feedback and accountability – no room to hide and plenty of space to grow!

Creating a rock solid relationship foundation is key to happiness and success which is why I also created the Pre-Marital Relationship Blueprint to help get this work done before the big day, or for people about to co-habit.   

Wherever you are in your relationship journey I’ll create a space for you to unpack and heal your relationship challenges.

I do this with permission and it is my honor.
