‘Jane … has been my rock, keeping me grounded whilst stretching me to fly. She asks gentle but direct questions, she sees through my BS and has challenged me to step up my own leadership’. (Karen Skidmore)

I’m a coach, mentor, teacher, and healer. I help women find the fastest routes to deep mental, emotional (and so, sometimes, physical) healing and change. I use many different strands of knowledge in my work. In particular I combine the ancient wisdom of Huna – the secret spiritual, healing energetic and life teachings of the ancient Hawaiians – with modern coaching principles. I also supervise other coaches to accelerate and deepen the results their clients get.

When I first became aware that teaching people to heal was my purpose in life it seemed a very big task. I was also conflicted. I’d spent much of my working life in the corporate and consultancy world, moving into organisational and executive coaching in the late 1990s, and it took me a long time to reconcile the two, and to stand in my own power as both a career and leadership coach and trainer and a spiritual teacher and healer.

At the same time, I know from my own experience of recovering from clinical depression just how powerful tools and principles like forgiveness, living with aloha, emotional release, resolving personal conflicts, connecting to your purpose and developing your personal connection with higher consciousness can be.

With over 25 years’ coaching experience, I am one of the most experienced coaches in the UK. I ‘m passionate about making coaching a profession, rather than a hobby, and to this end I have been involved in the professionalisation of the industry for a number of years, in several ways. I’ve been an in-house coach and coach-supervisor for One of many, a coach assessor for One of many and other organisastions, and was a co-designer of One of many’s Accredited Trainer programme.

I am an ICF PCC-level coach with an awful lot of other qualifications! The most relevant are an MBA, an MSc in Business Systems, a BSc in Psychology, and a PhD in Spirituality and Leadership. I’m also a certified trainer of NLP, and a qualified hypnotherapist. I use this combination of knowledge and expertise to enhance my coaching practice, which I am constantly upgrading.
