I specialise in providing tailored advice on retirement planning, tax-efficient investments, estate planning, and protection (insurance – both personal and business). My mission is to truly understand your unique situation and goals, so I can help you achieve the financial future you desire. I don’t isolate one part of your finances—I take a holistic approach to financial planning. This allows me to assess your overall financial health, evaluate the risks your family might face, and ensure your goals are realistic, achievable, and as tax-efficient as possible. You’ll find me to be straight-talking, friendly, and committed—no jargon, no suits. As a mum of two young boys and wife to a musician, I know how busy and unpredictable life can be. Finances often take a backseat, but they shouldn’t have to be overwhelming. Let me help you gain clarity and peace of mind, so you can live life by design, not by default. I believe in building relationships based on trust, and I work best with like-minded people who value honest advice and a clear path forward. If you’re ready to take control of your finances, let’s talk.
