THE CONFIDENT VOICE

Conversations That Count

MEET CHeri - your confident voice coach

Hi, I'm Cheri

Helping you find your voice and use it, without fear or overwhelm.

My coaching journey began with an obsession for true crime documentaries (I know, stay with me…), which turned into a fascination with the human mind and what drives our choices especially in moments of stress, change or conflict. That curiosity led me to become a qualified mediator and coach. I bring together practical tools, compassionate challenge, and sharp insight to help you move through self-doubt, people-pleasing, and overthinking… into clear, calm confidence.

I’ve coached, mentored, and mediated my way through boardrooms, back-to-back meetings, and big life moments. I’ve worked with women in leadership, in business, and in transition, helping them navigate the kind of conversations that keep them awake at night.

The ones that stir up self-doubt.


The ones you replay 27 times after.


The ones that matter.

I’m not here to sell scripts or promise you’ll never feel fear again.


I’m here to help you speak up anyway, with courage, calm, and a clear path forward.

With a background in law, leadership, and conflict resolution, and real-life experience juggling work, family, grief, menopause, and major life shifts, I know what it’s like to feel the pressure to “hold it together” and keep the peace.

But I also know what happens when you find your voice and use it, with intention.

That’s what this work is about.


Brave conversations.
Real confidence.
Forward momentum.

And I walk the walk. I’ve had to find my own voice after years of navigating personal and professional challenges. From growing up around conflict, to balancing motherhood, leadership, and ambition, to rebuilding my identity in midlife, I know what it’s like to hit a crossroads and not know where to begin.

Outside of coaching, I’m happiest rolling on the mats, training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, working my beautiful German Shepherd dogs in the sport of IGP, or failing spectacularly at handstands and inversion during yoga. I’m also a sucker for a long walk, deep conversation, and the occasional Hollyoaks binge (no judgement necessary!).

If you’re ready to have braver conversations, whether with others or within yourself, I’d love to support you.

I created the CALM Method to help you communicate with confidence, even when emotions run high.

Whether you’re setting a boundary, addressing conflict, or having a hard conversation with a loved one, I’ll guide you through it.
