Social & Organizational Psychologist · PhD · Founder

I love to discover: people, places, worlds

I am someone who loves to discover people, places, worlds. And I love helping others discover themselves. Every time, going one layer deeper. Finding and embracing what makes you, you.

I believe in vulnerability. In putting the things you're most ashamed of in the light, so they lose their power over you. In giving yourself permission to grow, to reinvent, to begin a new chapter.

I bring depth, but always with a light touch.

About

Psychologist. Founder. Connector.

Trained as a social and organizational psychologist, with a PhD in Organizational Behavior, I have spent over a decade at the intersection of psychology, leadership, and personal development.

I am a founder, builder, and connector. I founded the Women's Leadership Academy and Connectors Lab, and I am developing House of Beguine. Each brings people together and helps them develop and grow through psychological insight.

What I do

Design. Facilitation. Speaking.

I design programmes, facilitate workshops, and speak on stages. I build the platforms and communities where that work continues. My mission: to bring people together and help them build lives and careers that actually fit who they are.

My work draws on social psychology, experiential learning, and relational dynamics. It is always evidence-based, always experiential, and always built around real conversations.

House of Beguine

A modern house for women, in the making

Inspired by the Beguines: independent women who, from the Middle Ages onwards, created communities where they could live, learn, work and support one another. House of Beguine is a future project: a modern house for women to connect, grow and explore who they are and who they want to become.
