Lily studied Archaeology and Anthropology BA at the University of Kent, and Forensic Anthropology and Archaeology MSc at Bournemouth University. These areas of education inspired a love of travel to learn about cultures across the globe. From working in New Zealand and volunteering in Fiji to analysing DNA in Manchester, Lily's passion for education has evolved into a desire for understanding and peace between peoples.
The peace matrix used within Lily's coaching is fundamental in questioning our psyche, challenging our world view, and supporting our personal development. The goal of these conversations is to learn how to interact with a hostile world while remaining open, curious and kind.
