"The life you want isn't unrealistic. It's just not the one you built when you were twenty-five."
The methodology
Four phases. Two words.
reclaim. redesign.
Most coaching puts you through a framework. This isn't a framework. The four phases structure the work — but the work itself is shaped entirely to your life. If burnout brought you here, phases one and two are where we start. If you're past the crisis point and ready to rebuild, we move faster into phases three and four.
Map
See clearly what is actually happening.
Not what should be happening. Not what you've been telling yourself. The fog has a cause. We find it together. This is where women who arrive in burnout begin — mapping the real load, the real cost, the real source of depletion.
Stabilise
Hold the ground before building anything new.
Most coaching skips this. It's the most important phase. Until you're stable — not fixed, not healed, stable — any redesign you attempt will collapse under the existing load. We reduce what's draining you before we rebuild anything.
Strip
Remove what was never yours.
The obligations you inherited. The version of success that was built for someone else. The roles you stepped into because there was nobody else. Named, examined, and — where possible — put down. This is where the relief begins.
Rebuild
Build forward, specifically and deliberately.
With clarity earned and space made, we design what comes next. This is where the Reclamation Redesign Roadmap is built — a written document specific to your life, your constraints, your next season. Yours to keep.
Why this, not something else
What you can't get from a book, a chatbot, or a therapy session.
Most women I work with have already tried the other things.

Frequently asked questions
Honest answers.
What is life redesign coaching for women in midlife?
Life redesign coaching helps you identify what is depleting you, clarify what you actually want, and build a practical plan to get there. It addresses both burnout recovery and structural change — so you are not rebuilding the same conditions that caused the problem in the first place.
How long does the programme take?
Twelve weeks, with six sessions held roughly fortnightly. The first session is 90 minutes; the rest are 60. It includes WhatsApp support between sessions and ends with a written Reclamation Redesign Roadmap specific to your life.
I'm burned out. Is this the right place to start?
Yes. Burnout is the most common entry point. The first two phases focus on mapping what is causing depletion and stabilising before rebuilding anything. You don't have to be past the crisis to begin — you just have to be ready to look at what's causing it.
What's the difference between this and regular life coaching?
Life redesign coaching addresses the structural conditions of your life — the roles, obligations, and patterns producing exhaustion — and builds something intentional in their place. It combines burnout recovery with practical redesign, not just mindset work or goal-setting.
What do I leave with at the end?
A written Reclamation Redesign Roadmap — specific to your life, constraints, and next season. Yours to keep. Most coaching ends with intentions. This ends with a document.
I could probably do this with ChatGPT or a book — what's different?
You probably could try. Most women I work with have. The difference is that ChatGPT can't see your face when you say something true for the first time. A book can't get beneath what you say to what you actually mean. What you can't get for free is someone to hold the space while you find your own answer — and stay with you while you act on it.
I don't want to quit my job. Is this for women planning to leave?
No. Most women I work with are not quitting. The roadmap we build is designed to work inside your current life. The point isn't to blow it up — it's to stop pouring more of yourself into it than you can afford to lose.
Are you a certified coach?
I have a coaching certificate and have been coaching since 2021. I'm not ICF-accredited — that's a specific industry pathway I chose not to pursue. If credentials matter more to you than fit, I'm probably not your coach. If you want someone who's actually been where you are, we should talk.
What if it's not working partway through?
Monthly instalment options exist for this reason. If by session 4 it's clearly not the right fit, we talk honestly about it. That said, the discovery call is designed to establish fit before either of us commits — it almost never becomes an issue.
