Who am I?

Do you feel angry but don’t know why? Are life transitions leaving you daunted? Are you wondering what else is possible?
Hi, I’m Maniesha Blakey, a certified coach and qualified counsellor with 15+ years of experience supporting individuals and organizations across cultures and sectors. With firsthand experience inside a global startup generator—and lived insight into founder life and investor dynamics—I understand how intense, high-pressure, and isolating the startup journey can be.
I work with tech startup founders to build resilience and lead with connection—connecting to yourself, your team, and your purpose. My approach blends data-driven, evidence-based practices with intuitive, holistic methods, ensuring each coaching experience is personalized and aligned with your unique journey.
In addition to my professional expertise, I bring lived insight into neurodiversity and a background in mental health, addiction, and recovery. I create inclusive, responsive coaching spaces where founders can explore their challenges with honesty and support.
I’ve also partnered with organizations to improve team communication, resolve conflict, and support wellbeing through customized workshops and Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs).
