about me

Hello. I coach leaders who’ve achieved a lot, but feel like they have or are losing themselves along the way. 


I’m Avril. I partner with senior leaders in Tech and global organisations to design leadership foundations that feel clear, confident, and joyful — so they can thrive in leadership, not just survive it.


I know what it feels like to lead from empty. To appear accomplished on the outside, while on the inside, quietly wondering how long you can keep going. I spent years delivering results in demanding leadership roles, believing that 'doing' made me worthy of love and belonging. I pushed hard, said yes to everything, and wore the mask of the high-achieving, get-it-done person. Until, unsustainable patterns and deficient beliefs led to career and life-altering burnout with PTSD. Which is why, I'm on a mission to help as many leaders protect their best energy and reignite their spark, from the inside out. 


Sustainable leadership isn’t just about strategy; it’s about your nervous system, your presence, and your ability to show up as your full self. Sustainable, joyful leadership is about how you show up when the stakes are high, the calendar is full, and the spark feels dim.


That’s why my work blends trauma-informed insight, neuroscience-led coaching, systems thinking, and practical tools to help leaders like you. 


As a ICF certified Trauma-informed Leadership Coach & Mentor, I integrate 15+ years of international corporate experience with powerful coaching to help you:

🌟 Reignite your spark and restoring your presence

🌟 Rebuild confidence and identity after burnout or major career transitions

🌟 Design boundaries and rhythms that protect your energy

🌟 Lead in ways that feel authentic, not performative


My core values -- Freedom, Creativity, Impact, Joy, and Collaboration -- guide my work and my life. These values shape the way I show up: with honesty, curiosity, and compassion.


My strengths -- Spirituality, Perspective, Social Intelligence, Leadership, and Integrity -- help me create a safe, reflective space where you can explore your challenges, identify your strengths, and build a future you’re excited to step into.


Together, let's design a leadership blueprint that works for you — and the life you want to build.
