A little more about me...

How did I get here?

Before Peak and Bloom, I had a career in talent acquisition and recruitment for over 16 years. I loved helping people unlock their potential in their career, and identify what their next steps look like and how to achieve them. Working alongside them, I helped to match their motivations and skills to a career that they would love doing. 

I wanted to lean into this person centred aspect of my career more, so I trained as a coach enabling me to focus more of my time on helping people in a similar way. Working with them to find joy in their life and career. I aimed to create a supportive space for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed, to talk things through and figure out their next steps. That’s when I first launched Peak and Bloom. 

Embracing the outdoors

I’ve always had a love for the outdoors and hiking. I started to realise that being outdoors in nature brings with it a natural feeling of ‘space’ and clarity, which paired brilliantly with life and career coaching. So, I started to dream about weaving in the aspect of taking coaching into the outdoors. I often find that the change of scenery, natural space, and fresh air gives our brain the reboot it needs for unwinding personal challenges and identifying with clarity your next steps. 

In 2024 Peak and Bloom became my full-time business, originally focusing on my career coaching. However, in 2025 I achieved my Hill and Moorland Leader qualification, meaning I could now deliver my vision of personal coaching in the outdoors, along with other outdoor offerings. Now, I provide a range of guided walks focused on helping you feel better by getting outside; through connection, creativity, coaching and reflection.
