🌟 I’m thrilled to be back home after about 30 years working all over the UK! I'm now ready to help Derbyshire riders unlock their full potential through specialized mindset coaching! 🌟
Ever wondered why some riders seem like naturals, or felt stuck thinking, “I know what to do, but I just can’t make it happen!” Or maybe you’re puzzled by how something you love can still feel intimidating. If any of this sounds familiar, mindset coaching can be the key to transforming your riding experience.
Alongside mindset coaching, I also offer empathetic, personalized ridden coaching, schooling, regular exercise, and a range of services tailored to your goals.
