I help adults, including boarding school survivors heal the parts of themselves that felt unseen or silenced in childhood. Together we untangle old patterns, reparent their inner child and create space for a more aligned version of themselves, enabling them to have the self trust they desire, be more regulated and find inner peace and calm, so they can finally get 'to be', not just survive.
I grew up in a military family and was sent to boarding school at a young age, believing it would be full of adventure and belonging. Instead, it shaped years of emotional disconnection, suppressed feelings, and a deep sense of not being enough. Like many children who grow up having to be “strong,” I learned to survive by becoming independent, guarded, and disconnected from my own needs.
In adulthood, those early experiences showed up in my relationships, my self-worth, and the way I spoke to myself. But choosing to face my past, to do the deep inner, trauma, and spiritual work, well that changed everything. Through healing, coaching, and reconnecting with my inner child, I rebuilt trust in myself, reclaimed my voice, and created a life rooted in calm, confidence, and alignment.
My story is one of moving from survival to self-trust....and it’s why I now guide others to do the same.


My coaching is a gentle, trauma-informed space for those of us who look “fine” on the outside but feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or quietly exhausted on the inside.
I specialise in supporting boarding school survivors to heal their inner child and make sense of the early separation, emotional deprivation, and survival patterns that often follow them into adult life.
My work is rooted in nervous system awareness and compassion-led healing, this work helps you recognise how coping strategies formed in childhood may now show up in your relationships, self-worth, achievements, and ability to rest or receive.
This isn’t about fixing you….it’s about honouring how you adapted, meeting the parts of you that learned to survive way too early, and gently guiding you back into safety, choice, and a deeper sense of connection to yourself.
Together, we'll work to soften those protective layers, unlock your true self beneath them, and help you live with greater authenticity, ease, and emotional freedom.

We can explore where you are now and what you're really longing for in a way that's aligned.

Together we'll gently map out your next steps bringing clarity to what's been feeling tangled.

You'll begin to notice gentle but powerful positive shifts like feeling calmer, clearer and more connected to yourself.
If you feel ready to heal - or even curious about what life could feel like beyond survival...
We can work together at your pace to gently explore, integrate, and reconnect you with the truest version of yourself.

"Working with Kara has been amazing, she has such a warm approachable personality and always makes me feel safe to open up. I’ve had several breakthroughs since working with her and she’s always there for the additional support / words of wisdom when needed. She’s very good at finding the first step and helps break things down so they don’t feel overwhelming, for instance in my session with her we broke down one big goal into small actionable steps that felt really achievable. She really puts herself in your shoes and knows exactly what is needed. Am so grateful to have found her & highly recommend to anyone!"

"Working with Kara felt really safe, supportive, and genuinely transformative. From the very beginning, her calm and warm approach helped me feel at ease and able to open up without fear of judgement. Kara brings her lived experience into her work in a way that feels authentic and reassuring, which made me feel truly understood.
Her gentle guidance and grounded presence allowed me to explore things I’d avoided for years, in a way that felt safe and manageable. The work we did together has had a lasting impact on how I show up in my life."
“Had my first coaching call with Kara. How amazing this was!
Not only did I learn so much about what I am doing too much of and spending too little time on, it really made me stop and think - a total eye opener for me and the life I was living.
On top of this, Kara is so warm, inspiring and no judgement given.
Forever grateful and I can't wait for my next session with her. Thanks Kara
