In my late 50s I knew I didn’t want to be working full-time for others when I hit 60 and wanted to build a more flexible, fulfilling, culturally and creatively rich life, that was more authentically me, despite loving many parts of my career. I came to a point where I couldn't wait any longer and did not want to look back with regrets. I wanted to do this for me but knew it would have a lovely positive effect on my relationships with friends, family, future colleagues / partners. A big part of this was that I wanted to build my own business - it didn't matter if it was small but it had to suit and support the life I wanted.

Diagnosed with Autoimmune Thyroid Disease at the same time as starting out (leaving job and building a business alongside freelance) - I found myself struggling with fatigue, lacking mental clarity, forgetfulness, some days barely able to communicate, to painful joints and more. I developed a robust simple framework and flexible daily practice to build focus and motivation while navigating my health journey. I used this system to Clear Time so I could make time to follow my passion, build businesses, improve my French, and add more enrichment into my life to grow as a person. It has been hard but I am loving my journey of a happier and more fulfilled life.

The foundation for the Clear Time Method came from methods and tools I created in my prior roles at Aesop in London and Marie Veronique in Berkeley, CA - notably building teams, systems and community for Aesop Stores in London, and then in Berkeley, building solid systems and momentum for getting shxx done for Marie Veronique, an extremely effective award-winning “clean beauty” brand. 

I built the Clear Time Method as well as acoxatelier, a couture one off garment collection using Antique French textiles.

If my story resonates with you and you want to see how you can Clear Time please join me via the Clear Time Digital Course or the Clear Time Method Coaching Programs.

I am British and live in Northern California with my partner.
