My story

Half British, half Greek, I live with my husband and two sons in a village in the French Alps, where seven mountains and a warm community bring light to my days.
Growing up between cultures and two households left me feeling I didn’t quite belong — constantly adapting myself to fit in.
An all‑or‑nothing mindset and a low, persistent ache of feeling “not enough” pushed me into people‑pleasing and a career in high‑performance sales, constantly chasing until chronic burnout followed. The pressure to be the best mum intensified my need to change.
I later served as HR Director for an international estate agency focused on agent support and recruitment, so I understand commercial pressures, common pitfalls and what it feels like to be stuck in a career that no longer fits.
Over twenty years ago I quit smoking through hypnotherapy. That experience ignited my deep fascination with the subconscious, neuroplasticity and how big and small T trauma, shapes behaviour.
I love people — their stories, struggles and the creative brilliance that often hides inside busy, scattered minds. Building self‑worth and confidence is my benchmark.
I trained as a hypnotherapist and mindset coach and founded Talking Sense to be a compassionate facilitator and collaborator for professional women with scattered minds. I combine practical tools, somatic awareness and curious inquiry to help you calm your nervous system, clear old patterns and choose actions that feel aligned.
