Louise Crockett
Defy Perfection Coaching
My name is Louise and I’m a business and life coach (formerly a VA) and one of the original Mavens. I’m either the one chatting too loudly in the corner or wearing headphones, hoping no one talks to me – yes, I appreciate the hypocrisy! I spend far too much time on Instagram, drink weak decaf tea and I also answer to Mrs Christmas!
Contact me: To talk about what really matters to you and how to move towards it

Zoe Palmer
Founder of Zoe Palmer Travel
I’m one of the original Maven’s and you’ll find me there on Fridays. It’s a perfect base for me to host clients, pop out for meetings and catch up on the week’s admin.
When I’m working at Maven then I like to drink Earl Gray (no sugar thanks)! When I’m out then I’m a classic glass of champagne girl – no fuss, no gimmicks, just pure quality and hopefully no hangover!
Contact me: To find your perfect holiday!

Emma Rickman
Registered Nutritional Therapist, Emma Rickman Nutrition
Discovering Maven during one of Natalie’s social media training sessions, I was struck by the warm welcome and support I received from the Mavens present and knew I wanted to join. I’ve loved the encouragement and advice I have received from this lovely community. It has also been the perfect location for my small group workshops and to record video content. Maybe even more significantly, I have also gained so many fashion, beauty, fitness and lifestyle tips to boot…as well as making many new friends.

Sara Thompson
Software Product Manager
I am a Software Product Manager in the Tech Sector and I am also working on setting up my own tech consultancy business called PMQ Consultancy.
I am usually in Maven 2 times a week, and sometimes bring Thor the mini dachshund along on special occasions! I am usually found with a (decaf!) coffee and love the cafes around Winchester, especially Kavi!
If I’m not at Maven I’m either at New Energy gym, Hot yoga or Pilates. You can also sometimes find me kayaking at the Winchester canoe club or cycling around Winchester’s lovely countryside.

Zoe Fredricks
Italian Translator
After working from home for the past ten years, I’m thrilled to have recently joined Maven and become part of this lovely community. For me, it’s not about business networking, it’s about getting out in the world and connecting with inspiring women. I love the feminine energy here and the little outdoor space where you can sit outside for a break.
My cavapoo, Stan, is enjoying his trips to the office too!

Hi, I’m Hats – I am all about making Britain a little brighter and helping people become the happiest, most fulfilled versions of themselves. I genuinely love to connect with all kinds of people and do so in my main professional role at Anthropy and in my side hustle as a Life Coach & Mentor.
