I'm on a mission to transform how women think about money. With a background in neuroscience and years as a Chartered Financial Planner, I understand not just what to do with money—but why we think about it the way we do.

My Story

My journey started with a fascination about how the brain works. Studying neuroscience, I learned that our financial decisions are shaped by patterns formed long before we earn our first pound—and those patterns can be changed.

When I moved into financial services, I quickly noticed something was wrong. The advice, the language, the approach—it was all designed by men, for men. Women were an afterthought at best, patronised at worst.

I saw brilliant women being talked down to. I watched them leave meetings feeling more confused than when they arrived. I heard them say "I'm just not good with money"—and I knew that wasn't true.

So I decided to do something about it. I created Eva Wealth to offer financial advice that actually works for women. I wrote Smart Money, Strong Women to share what I've learned. And I'm building tools to make that expertise available to everyone.

Because I believe every woman deserves to feel confident with money. Not anxious. Not confused. Confident.
