Self Harmonising is not a framework I discovered in a book. It is something I lived my way into, through the experience of building a life that looked right from the outside and felt misaligned from the inside.
That experience is the foundation of everything I do now.
My path has taken me through different lives. Language teacher across five countries. Co-founder of a bilingual nursery in Bordeaux. And now coach, the work that feels most fully mine.
The turn that changed everything was not a career move. It was the moment I realised I had built something successful and still felt unsettled within it. The outer life was working. Something inside was not.
Leaving the nursery was not a failure. It was the beginning of a different kind of work on myself. And what followed became the foundation of every conversation I have as a coach.
Language teacher and globetrotter across France, the UK, India, Colombia, and Spain. Five years of learning how to meet people where they are, which turned out to be the most important skill I ever developed.
Co-founder of Mini Poppins, a bilingual nursery in Bordeaux. Five years of building something real and working, and discovering that outer success and inner alignment are not the same thing.
Certified coach since 2020. Founder of Coach Clem. Coach of the Year 2026. Now doing the work that feels most fully mine: helping entrepreneurs and purpose driven professionals return to themselves.
My coaching training began with Christian Mickelsen and the Rapid Coaching Academy, followed by an eight-month certified programme coordinated by Paris University. A Level 5 professional qualification with weekly mentoring and hands-on practice.
Since then I have continued to develop, with a particular focus on emotional intelligence, positive intelligence, and appreciative inquiry. I completed advanced coaching with Positive Intelligence Inc. in 2021 (ICF certified) and work regularly with a certified EMCC coaching supervisor.
The foundation of all of it is simple: I believe a coach can only take clients as far as they have been willing to go themselves. Self Harmonising is not something I teach from the sidelines. It is a practice I continue to live every day.
The dragonfly has always represented transformation to me. Not the dramatic kind, but the quiet shift that happens when you stop trying to fix what is on the surface and start seeing more clearly what is underneath.
That is the spirit of this work. Not fixing. Not improving. Returning.
This work is for people who are tired of the gap between who they are and how they are living. People who are outwardly doing well but privately carrying a sense that something still is not quite right.
Not in crisis. Not falling apart. Just not fully themselves.
If something on this page has resonated, a clarity call is a good place to start. It is a single conversation, no obligation, to understand where you are and whether this work is the right fit.
I work with founders and entrepreneurs who are capable and outwardly doing well, but privately carry a persistent sense of inner unsettledness. Not in crisis. Just not harmonised. The ones who have tried the strategies, the systems, and the optimisations and are ready for something that goes to the root.
As a self harmonising coach, I work by bringing all the parts of you into resonance with each other. Self harmonising is the practice of bringing all the parts of yourself how you think, what you value, how you operate, and what you are building into resonance with each other. In the coaching work, we identify where you are out of harmony, understand what is holding that in place, and build inner stability from the inside out. The result is what I call life proof: stable regardless of what life does.
It is neither. Business coaching focuses on strategy and performance. Therapy addresses mental health and the past. Self harmonising coaching sits in its own space: it is personal, practical, and focused on building inner stability so that who you are, how you live, and what you build resonate as one. The work is deep and the outcomes are real but it is not clinical, and it is not about strategy.
All coaching is available online and I work with founders worldwide. I am based in North Yorkshire, UK, with strong connections across the North East of England and France. In-person sessions and retreats are available for those based nearby or willing to travel.
I hold a Level 5 certified coaching qualification coordinated by Paris University, completed after eight months of intensive training. I have also completed advanced coaching training with Positive Intelligence Inc. (ICF certified) and work with a certified EMCC coaching supervisor. I was named Coach of the Year in 2026.
The best first step is a clarity call a single conversation to understand where the unsettledness is coming from and whether self harmonising is the right next step for you. When the book is available, that is also an excellent entry point into the work.
