Vicki is a Certified Coach and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner® who supports public sector leaders to shift the underlying patterns that limit their confidence, effectiveness, and wellbeing. Her coaching helps leaders navigate high-pressure environments with greater clarity, emotional agility, and stress resilience.
Vicki has extensive experience working with high performers whose early life trauma or significant life challenges quietly hold them back. She has a strong affinity for Te Ao Māori, shaped by her long-standing work alongside kaupapa Māori services and leaders within the health and social sectors.
With a substantial career inside the public sector — including leadership of people, programmes, and funding, she understands the realities, pressures, and complexities leaders face. She has coached changemakers across health, social, and community systems, bringing both practical insight and deep nervous-system awareness into her work.
Drawing on Somatic Experiencing®, Vicki also helps leaders strengthen resilience, expand capacity, and resolve the impacts of chronic stress, shock, and trauma that can limit leadership presence, relational effectiveness, and fulfilment.
