Her work explores embodiment, self-compassion, and how to move beyond the stories we tell ourselves. Alongside her is Maya Raichoora, the UK’s leading expert on visualization and mental fitness. She has coached elite athletes and high-powered executives on resilience and peak performance, and her book Visualize reveals how to think, feel, and perform at the very top of your game.
