Hi, I’m Heather,
Qualified life coach and former lawyer with over a decade experience working in the the City of London. My mission at Irissa is to provide a space where individuals and groups can start the journey toward a more joyful and fulfilled life free from overwhelm, burnout. Whether you are looking for direction or unsure where to begin, I can provide you with guidance and encouragement to find more joy and fulfilment.
- “I had a great career, but felt like I was on the wrong path. I was unfulfilled and unhappy in the career that I had once loved so much. I was exhausted, and uncertain of what to do next. Life coaching changed that for me.”
Sound familiar?

I knew in my heart that I had to leave the corporate world. The question was how?
For most of my career, I worked as a in house lawyer at a prestigious company. The work was challenging and exciting, and I got to work with colleagues who were experts in their fields. I worked on large and complex deals. I developed my expertise as a privacy lawyer. Best of all, it gave me the security to build a home for my growing family. Despite this, I had a sense that something wasn’t right, that maybe I was moving in the wrong direction, that perhaps I should be doing something else.
It was so fleeting that at first I ignored it. I was busy with my job, my young family and a long daily commute. It’s clear now that I was exhausted, on the verge of burnout.

I decided to retrain as a life coach in the hopes that I could gain a fresh perspective on life while managing all the demands of my career and family life. As I progressed through my studies I began to understand the value of coaching, and I learned how to identify my purpose and how to prioritise what was most important to me. When I signed up to become a coach, I never dreamed that I would leave corporate and start my own business, but the Universe had other plans for me!
So when lockdown happened in 2020, I knew I had the right tools to survive that tumultuous time of fear, doubt and depleted energy. I not only survived, I began to thrive. By creating more headspace, I was able to make more time the things that were most important to me.
Since I have years of corporate experience as well as coaching skills and a passion for productivity hacks (for those who know me well, I am a productivity nerd), it made sense for me to combine those into one neat package. So I created Irissa.
I have been there, so if you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or out of alignment with who you are, I can help.
