Make Bold Moves, See Real Progress
Hi, I'm Ana
As an ICF-accredited, trauma-informed coach, I help leaders and teams navigate the complexities of building trust, cultivating conscious cultures, and leading with authenticity. With over two decades of leadership experience in education, the creative industries, the cultural sector, and the arts, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful transformational change can be when it’s grounded in honesty and a commitment to doing the inner work.
If you’re asking yourself:
-
How can I grow from the inside out and become a more conscious leader?
-
How do I stop reacting from old patterns and lead with intention?
-
How can I create work that’s not only successful but impactful and meaningful?
-
How can I show up authentically and creatively in all aspects of my life?
-
How can I build better relationships, connections, and communities that truly thrive?
-
And how do I let go of limiting beliefs that are holding me back from the next level of success?
Then we’re a good fit. My approach is deep, laser-focused, and transformative. It’s not about quick fixes or one-size-fits-all formulas. I don’t believe in shortcuts. To create lasting change in your life and leadership, you need to be willing to look inward, be honest with yourself, and commit to doing the real work.
Whether you’re in the creative, cultural, or education sectors—or anywhere else—I understand the unique challenges you face and I’m here to support you. The work we’ll do together is designed to help you unlock your full potential, build the relationships and culture you’ve always wanted, and make the impact you’re capable of.
If you’re ready to do the deep, transformational work required to create real change—both in your life and in your leadership—let’s talk.

Client testimonials

Kumiko Mendl,
Theatre Director
Through coaching I've gained profound self awareness, learning to identify and understand behaviour patterns. The strategies to overcome blocks and fear have been extremely helpful. Ana's insightful, conversational approach and her deep understanding of the creative field have made our sessions invaluable.

Joanne Calcutt,
Senior leader
I was lucky to have my employer sponsor coaching with Ana and I have gained so much more confidence in my leadership since. Fast forward one year later and I have written my own novel, whilst in charge of over £1 million budget- finally balancing my creative and professional life.

Polly Russell,
Head of Eccles Institute,
British Library
After working with Ana 1:1, I asked her to work with my team to align around a shared purpose and create a strong narrative identity for communicating with staff and stakeholders. The programme was engaging, focused, and effective in fostering collective thinking and collaboration. Highly recommend...
