A few words about me
.png)
Hello there, I'm Mattie, the founder of Zest Ambition.
I am an ICF certified coach and positive psychology practitioner. Before entering the world of personal development, I spent over a decade in the corporate world developing digital strategies for businesses ranging from startups to Fortune 500 companies. This gave me a great deal of exposure to some of the most amazing work environments where employees thrive but also some of the more dysfunctional ones which often lead to work fatigue, anxiety, frustration, boredom and sometimes burnout.
During my career, I went through numerous career transitions and many phases during which I put into question the meaning of work. All of this eventually led to the creation of Zest Ambition.
Today, I believe that we can overcome some of the big societal, economical & environmental issues of our time by increasing the number of happy, conscious and inspired professionals. I am on a mission to make this happen.
I am a woman, a mother and a foreigner who stand for ethical and respectful work environments. I am passionate about helping people design a heart-centered career that allows them to embrace their potential and find creative ways to work themselves happy.

Kind words from my clients
Mattie enabled my mind to embark on paths that I did not even realise it needed to go on.
Mathilde helped me change my mindset towards my personal goal and overcome barriers that I had put in my way.
Mattie shows great empathy, she is patient, supportive and good humoured. She has really helped me create a good work / life balance.
Mattie empowered me to take control of the actions that I needed to take and I am already feeling a sense of achievement after completing just a few small steps.
THE GIVING BACK AWARD
Zest Ambition was awarded runner up for the Giving Back award at the 2020 Women's Business Conference.
The nomination is for the creation of The Coaching Angels Challenge and our help supporting individuals and charities through our free coaching programme during the second lockdown of 2020.
This is how Women's Business Conference describes the Giving Back Award:
It is for someone who has gone above and beyond to help the community and those in need. Even though she has had her own challenges to face she has never forgotten those around her who are facing challenges too. She is generous and kind, we want to acknowledge all that she has done this year.
