Work-life balance that actually works.

Feel like yourself again with better boundaries, self-trust and natural confidence.

I help high-achieving women get their spark back, without having to drink 3 coffees and fake a smile to get through the day.

Is this you?

  • I wake up tired, not lit up, even after a full night’s sleep.

  • I feel like I’m spinning, doing everything, getting nowhere.

  • I snap at the people I love, and then I feel guilty about it.

  • I say yes when I want to say no - just to keep the peace.

  • I carry everyone else’s needs and keep putting mine on hold.

  • I want something to change - but I don’t know where to begin.

  • I’ve lost my direction, and I’m not even sure what I want anymore.

  • The spark’s gone. I miss feeling joy, energy, me-ness.

What I do.

Through a trauma informed lens, I coach high-achieving women from a state of disconnection and plate-spinning to feel confidently organised, in charge, and balanced in a way that’s actually sustainable.

This isn’t about doing more - it’s about doing what matters, in a way that feels honest and aligned.

Together we get into the unspoken - where anger, unmet needs and quiet self-sacrifice have been draining your energy and dimming your spark.

Balance isn’t just about your calendar - it’s about your capacity.

My offer.

The Reset Sessions - 6 Weeks

A practical coaching programme to help you pause, reset, and find your footing again. We get clear on what’s draining your capacity, explore what needs to shift, and introduce simple tools to help you set boundaries, manage stress, and start making choices that feel more like you again.

What I believe.

I believe success should include you.
Not just your achievements - you. Your energy. Your values. Your voice.

When you’re doing what matters to you, not just what’s expected, something shifts. You stop spinning and start feeling like yourself again.
That’s the spark I care about.

But here’s the thing: that spark needs protecting. That’s why we need boundaries. Not to push people away, but to stay close to what matters. Your time, your energy, your priorities.

This isn’t about following the rules. It’s about following what feels true. The more you trust your internal compass, the less you need to perform. That’s when balance gets real, and your power becomes sustainable.

Coaching is collaborative, practical, and forward-focused.

    “Vanessa is very caring and insightful. She leads with her heart and a bit of quirky humour, Vanessa is kind, sugar coats when needed and gives it to you straight when needed.

    “Working with Vanessa has been one of the best things I have done both personally and professionally. She helped pick me up (or I should say, helped me to pick myself up!) when going through very challenging times, providing me with clarity, wisdom and kindness, as well as a set of self-help tools to deploy when needed. I feel that I know myself and my values much better following our sessions, and I am learning to live a more courageous and authentic life as a result.”

I learned to pause, reflect, and respond with intention, which improved my relationships and gave me a sense of calm and control I hadn’t felt before. Her guidance helped me rebuild my confidence and see how powerful I can be when I choose to show up differently. I couldn’t have done it without her.”
