About Me

‘To listen and observe; to be mindful and ask the right questions at the right time.

To let you find your own answers, to find Joy essentially’

‘To listen and observe; to be mindful and ask the right questions at the right time.

To let you find your own answers, to find Joy essentially’

I started Be Rooted to support organisations and young academic professionals to cultivate sustainable skills for personal well-being, integrating mind, heart, body and compassionate practices in support of living a fulfilling life.

Find Root to Rise: three Movements

To find root as an individual, team or organisation requires an understanding of where you came from, where you are and where you are going. To look at these three movements with the qualities of empathy and kindness will build resilience from the inside out, allowing you to give a compassionate response to life.

You will learn about living from a place of Heart, which is a the root of everything, and be a force for good in the world. This is what the world needs most; kindness, gentleness, empathy and compassion, the qualities of the heart.

To change from the Inside Out, start your focus and choice here and connect with me.  

As an entrepreneur in personal wellbeing, my focus is on developing what are often referred to as ‘soft skills’ and what I call the ‘hard skills’; skills such as (self)compassion, (self)awareness, kindness and empathy. By connecting to yourself first, you become more aware, more resilient and start to live with a growth mindset. My approach is open and intuitive, investigating the ‘real’ questions clients have. Organisations, teams as well as individuals.
I combine evidence-based academic practices with ancient wisdom traditions and contemplative work. This is the foundation of my work. All my ventures revolve around bringing the qualities of compassion, empathy and kindness into the world; Cultivate a life of joy by creating compassionate habits of mind!

My Story

Find more inner peace

Most of my clients experience feelings overwhelm and are looking looking to find ways of relief from stress and find more inner peace. Mindful and compassionate conversations are key to finding calm and clarity; to become more resilient.

My approach allows for calm and introspective connection to yourself and others. This give clarity and reduces stress. I am focused on helping you build sustainable skills to support your own personal well-being, integrating mind, heart, body and soulful practices to help you take next steps toward a fulfilling life.

When you feel better, you will have room for professional and personal growth. I use compassion, mindful meditation and visualisation to help you find that success, to finding your calm. Let’s invite moments of peace into our lives and ground it in our hearts.

I hold a Master’s degree in Communication and over the past 3 years, I have studied at Stanford’s CCARE Institute (Cultivating Compassion and Altruism) which combines rigorous academic research with experiential contemplative, meditation practices.

During the 20+ years of experience in corporate communication and health care management, personal development has always been my passion. Over the last 10+ years I have deepened my practice of inner calm to be able to get my clients results on outer focus.

Compassion has become a unique focus to my coaching and mentoring.

My vision is that when we decide to live our lives compassionately, we commit to having an open and non-judgmental attitude. We then meet life with a quality of kindness, love, forgiveness and joy .

I founded Be Rooted on the pillars of my own 20+ years of international corporate and management experience with the intent to expand this platform. I hold an MA in Communication, am certified as a Stanford trained Compassion educator through the ACT program with CCARE ánd am a certified ICF coach.

My approach is holistic and combines wisdom teachings for change from the inside-out. Through ceremony, rituals, self-compassion, somatic and systemic practices and tribal wisdom traditions.

My vision is that when we decide to live our lives compassionately, we commit to having an open and non-judgmental attitude. We then meet life with a quality of kindness, love, forgiveness and joy .
