APPLETON
I'm Carolyn
I see what others miss that's beneath the surface.
So you can see clearly,
make the decisions that matter, and become more of who you are.
I work with founders, creators and leaders.
18+ years leading high-stakes, million-pound global projects in emerging tech — XR, immersive, experiential, product across London's leading agencies, creative studios and scale-ups.
Complex, fast-paced environments as standard and I spot what's quietly causing chaos before it escalates.
I create clarity in complexity, and learnt to navigate uncertainty. And I see around corners.
The Journey
I love the new, and luckily my childhood enabled six house moves, and six schools,
as well as big responsibility from a young age.
Traditional success alone didn't work for me and I burnt out in 2014 which was my becoming.
Through time, learning how to evolve without losing myself.
Emotional mastery in action.
The Integration
A decade+ of creating differently. Intentionally.
Discovering who I am underneath it all.
Training as a naturopathic chef and a yoga teacher.
Living my purpose, my way of being.
Following the threads and using my pattern recognition.
Moving countries.
Evolution for me isn't theory, I live it.
And trained in cutting-edge coaching techniques, trauma information & somatic approaches
working with the whole person, not just the thinking mind.
Radical responsibility for the person I'm becoming. And how I can serve others.
Being Me
I feel everything deeply and take my clients as deep as they are willing to go.
I move when I'm pulled. I'm very logical but don't always make logical decisions
which tend to turn out way better than I ever expected.
I've always wanted to be more me. Even when it goes against the norm.
Trust. Integrity are part of my values but aren't always easy.
Be More You. Everything else is exhausting.
I would love to hear more about you. Let's talk.
