About Kelly

Nine years in the Army. Multiple countries lived in. Various careers explored. All leading to one realisation: most people settle for way less than they’re capable of.

I hit my goals in both military and corporate life, yet still felt empty. That restlessness? It was pointing me toward my real work—helping people to live their life by design and to own their full potential.

Here’s the truth: you already know there’s more possible for you. The question isn’t whether you can achieve it—it’s whether you’ll actually do what it takes.

I don’t do fluffy motivation. I work with people who are ready to bridge the gap between where they are and where they belong.

Through direct, personalised coaching, I help you cut through the noise, identify what’s actually holding you back, and build the mindset, accountability and systems to get there.

This isn’t just my job. It’s my purpose and way of life.

Hi, I’m Kelly, and as a professional coach, I empower people to run their lives more successfully and purposefully.

Through this, they can become the best version of themselves, breaking old limits and ultimately busting through that ceiling!

As a professional coach, I am passionate about working with people to reach their full potential. Therefore, people who are committed to change work with me for support, challenge, and accountability, enabling them to achieve more than they ever thought possible.

Early Lessons in the New Zealand Army

I decided to listen to my mother’s advice and move out of home ‘while I still knew everything.’ At age 16, I joined the New Zealand Army and soon discovered there was so much I didn’t know! Even today, I am still on this journey of learning and discovery, and I enjoy it even more.

The Army provided a strong foundation where I gained many life lessons. Firstly, I learned that my limitations and excuses were all in my own mind. The Army showed me that with planning, perseverance, teamwork, and courage, we can all achieve anything we set our minds to. This powerful lesson is one I still use today.

A New Chapter: Life in London

After eight years of growth in the New Zealand Army, it was time to stretch my wings and travel. For the next seven years, I based myself in London, working in the IT and Financial sectors. This marked a completely new world, far removed from the survival and weapons training of the NZ Army. With this new environment came new fears, challenges, and growth.

London also helped me discover two of my great passions: traveling and experiencing new cultures. I have since traveled to over 70 countries, and to this day, it remains a passion I continue to pursue with my family.

Returning to New Zealand: A Shift in Direction

Upon returning to New Zealand, I realized that my current career path wasn’t aligned with where I wanted to be in the future.
As a result, I changed course again and enrolled at University to study for a Business Degree. Since I had left school at 16, enrolling in University was daunting, and once again, I was filled with self-doubt. However, I quickly learned that the fears I held were all in my mind. By backing myself, I excelled and earned a double Business Degree while continuing to work in corporate.

A New Purpose: Empowering Others

Then something strange happened—I had reached my goals, but I found myself seeking more meaning in life. I realized that I needed to give back and empower others in the areas where I had struggled. Inspired by this need, I returned to coaching and mentoring, which I had first discovered in the Army. My aim is to equip people with the skills to overcome their struggles and old fears and to get profoundly real with their lives and themselves.
