After a lifetime of working, what happens when the calendar goes blank?
You’re at a crossroad. You are in transition.
Maybe retirement is approaching, stepping down, maybe it's at home where relationships are evolving or life just changed on its own.
Whatever the reason, the rhythms of your days are shifting. Is this you?
This is a season for re-alignment - not withdrawal. Purpose still matters, and it begins with pausing long enough to listen.
As a qualified life coach and two-time pilgrim of the Camino de Santiago, I guide people through life’s transitions using the Power of Pilgrimage 9-Step Framework to prepare and support you for walking a meaningful section of the
Camino de Santiago in Spain. It will change your life.
Because the next step isn’t about having all the answers - it’s about learning to walk with the questions
Ready to live what matters - body, mind, and spirit?
The transformation that Power of Pilgrimage can provide isn’t about religion, but it is about belief: In yourself.
Our method is a shared journey of discovery through workshops and immersive group experiences, grounded in the metaphor and practice of mindful walking: a modern pilgrimage.
Our uniqueness is that absolutely and unashamedly request that you work towards actually doing the Camino de Santiago. It’s a path I’ve walked myself. We will prepare, support and guide you in three essential ways:
Body
Your health, physical capability and the right gear is a great start.
Mind
Clarity and stillness arrive as you shed habits and rules that no longer serve.
Spirit
Open the heart through breath, lighten your load and then walk back home.
Breakthroughs unfold along the journey, not just at the destination, but as you walk, reflect, and share with others on the same path.
Why Work With Me?
1.
Lived boldly and broadly
33 jobs. 33 homes. 33 countries. From shearing sheds to boardrooms, small towns to megacities - I’ve seen life from every angle. That richness shapes the way that I can support you. Not with advice, but to use wisdom to give you space.
2.
Experienced in transition
I’ve built businesses and lost them. The responsibilities of the C-suite, and the humility that comes from bankruptcy. Loved deeply, divorced gently, raised kids, and stood at life’s edge more than once. Again, this is not about teaching theory, but about guiding you with lived understanding.
3.
Wisdom through curiosity
Two degrees, two diplomas, executive programs, and life coaching credentials are all great, however real wisdom comes from leaning into curiosity and simply listening. Whether it is people, music, nature, or the quiet questions that change us.
4.
Walking the talk
I’m writing my second book, designing new workshops, preparing for my third Camino de Santiago, and living what I teach. This isn’t a side gig. It’s my calling - and you’re invited to explore yours.

Life in Transition – Walking Back to Yourself (1-Day Workshop)
A purposeful day to pause, reflect, and reset.
Life in Transition introduces the Power of Pilgrimage 9-Step Framework - a clear, practical approach to navigating change in body, mind, and spirit. It’s for anyone with a curious mindset.
Using the Camino de Santiago not only as a living metaphor, but as a journey you will take, we explore what it means to prepare for life’s next chapter. We use guided reflection, small-group conversation, practical tools drawn from modern life coaching, but most importantly the ancient wisdom gained from simply walking.
You’ll gain insight, direction, and renewed purpose and your first quiet pull toward Spain.
Pilgrim Masterclass – Movement, Meaning and Mindfulness (3-Day Program)
Three days to deepen, realign, and transform.
A powerful three-day immersion for those ready to go beyond reflection and into practice. Building on the Life in Transition Workshop, this program deepens your understanding of the Power of Pilgrimage 9-Step Framework.
You have decided to take the path of the Camino and to make the journey and in every sense. We’ll explore health and energy, mindset and emotion, purpose and presence. More tools and more depth drawn from modern coaching, psychology, as well as stepping into the embodied wisdom of Qi Gong. Every element is evidence-based and designed to help you realign body, mind, and spirit for the next chapter of life and leadership.
Corporate and Private Group Workshops and Programs
If you like what you read in our Workshops and Programs - we can tailor something for you.
Private group bookings are ideal for leadership teams, professional associations, or community circles seeking a shared experience of growth and reflection. Whether your focus is purpose, wellbeing, or team renewal, our 9-Step Framework works on movement, meaning, and mindfulness to strengthen your team.
The Camino Experience (Experiential Journey) - (subject to availability)
Walk across Spain. Discover yourself along the way.
Whether, in the end, you choose your own physical pilgrimage - for example in your own country - or the Camino de Santiago, we will prepare you.
However, if you do choose to walk the Camino de Santiago, we will be there in August and September 2026, to support the journey and integrate reflection, coaching and community. It becomes real. The real people, the real places, the real path - within and without.
It is the natural next step after the Masterclass, and a life-changing opportunity to live what matters.

you don’t have to take it alone.

courage and connection.
