CIC, a UK Community Interest Company breaking the cycle of shame and period poverty that keeps girls out of school and steals their futures. For eight years she has partnered with Kenyan charities to deliver menstrual health education and reusable period products in rural and slum communities, engaging boys and girls together to dismantle stigma at its root. Her work addresses a devastating chain: missed school days leading to dropout, early pregnancy, early marriage, and increased health risks including HIV. Reusable period products are not just a practical solution. They are the equity girls living in poverty need to stay in school. Without them, menstruation becomes a monthly barrier to education, opportunity, and the right to a future. By breaking the silence around period poverty and shame, and pairing dignified period products with body literacy education for both genders, Anne gives young women the tools to rewrite their stories and fulfill their ambitions. A champion for gender equality and inclusion, Anne is also a tennis coach who runs an inclusive weekly programme for adolescents and young adults with learning, physical, and sensory disabilities. As EDI Trustee on the Board of Middlesex Tennis, she champions her "Ability Not Disability" ethos.

Her work didn’t start with qualifications, it started with lived experience. There was a time when she felt completely exhausted, in pain, and disconnected from herself. She didn’t have the energy to show up for my family, let alone build a life or business she loved. That was her turning point. She had to stop pushing through and start listening to her body. Through that process, she began to understand how stress, blood sugar, hormones and lifestyle are all connected, and how small, sustainable changes can completely shift how we feel and show up. Now, she helps women who feel stuck, overwhelmed or like 'nothing is working anymore' to rebuild their energy, stabilise their blood sugar and feel like themselves again. Because when your energy comes back, you stop playing small and finally start saying yes to yourself and your business.

After 27 years in Corporate IT and Digital Marketing, Nicky reached a point where outward success no longer felt aligned. Knowing she was here for more, she completely retrained midlife — and then experienced first-hand how deeply ingrained childhood beliefs can hold even the most capable women back. Nicky now supports her clients to uncover and release the subconscious beliefs and emotional patterns driving impostor syndrome, overworking, visibility fears, money blocks, and so much more. Her work goes far beyond traditional coaching or therapy, addressing the root cause of these patterns so that change is permanent and deeply integrated. Nicky creates a space where women feel safe, seen, and understood — allowing them to move through life with a grounded sense of “I am enough,” where success begins to flow naturally rather than being forced.
