Bio:

I’m a Neurolanguage Coach®, ICF-accredited coach, and teacher trainer with over 15 years of experience working with English learners, educators, and business professionals worldwide. My work sits at the intersection of English Communication coaching, Neuroeducation and 3 Brain Coaching, . 

I am driven by a curiosity about why capable, motivated people often know the language get “blocked” when they need to learn or perform, how to prevent it and even how to eliminate it altogether. My professional path began in crisis support coaching and long-term mind–body practice, which shaped how I work with pressure, safety, and awareness. I later trained as a Co-Active coach and Business English teacher, supporting business executives who needed English as a tool for real-time communication and presence. 

Today, I integrate Neurolanguage Coaching®, mindfulness, emotional awareness, and three-brain coaching to help learners and educators understand what happens when head, heart, and gut fall out of sync — and how restoring safety allows language and confidence to flow again. I create learning spaces that reduce performance pressure and help people reconnect with their voice in English by freeing what’s already there.

Session synopsis:

In Sync or Stuck? Why Language Learning Needs All Three Brains

This interactive workshop explores how engaging the three brains—head (cognitive), heart (emotional), and gut (instinctive)—can significantly enhance both language learning and coaching effectiveness. The participants will experience a practical framework that goes beyond theory and allowing them to feel how different brain dominances affect their teaching, coaching, and communication choices.

The session will start with a brief self-assessment to identify each participant’s dominant brain. Through guided activities, reflection, and discussion, educators will discover how over-reliance on one brain can limit learning and how consciously integrating all three can foster safety, confidence, and freedom in language use. This workshop bridges neuroscience, emotional intelligence, and embodied coaching, providing tools that participants can immediately apply in their own sessions.
