After a long career in startup finance and tech, I turned toward something I’d always done naturally: listening, guiding, helping people feel more like themselves. I’ve a foundation in psychotherapy and qualified as a coach under Dr. Sarah Madigan at her Spectacular School—but most of all, I’m someone who believes that emotional connection is the foundation of real change.

8Notes began as a quiet instinct: a longing for more honest spaces. Not classrooms. Not self-improvement seminars. Just human spaces. Where people could feel, express, and connect without needing to fix themselves or perform.

Whether it’s a song, a conversation, a book—or simply being witnessed—these spaces invite you to return to yourself. They’re rooted in slowness, depth, and emotional truth. And they’re a countercultural act in a world that often rewards speed and surface.

This isn’t separate from my one-to-one coaching work at Plain Talk—it’s the same soul, just in a different shape. Where Plain Talk offers focused, personal transformation, 8Notes invites you into shared experience. One note at a time.

If something in you is ready to feel more…

Welcome.
