Holding it all together...but secretly wondering where you went?
life coaching for capable women who look fine on the outside but feel flat, exhausted and lost on the inside
is this you?
All your friends and family think you're fine...but if only they could hear the thoughts running around in your mind!
You're showing up for everyone, ticking off the to do list and when someone asks you how you're doing, you say "yeah good, just busy!"
...but when you think about it, you can't actually remember the last time you felt properly excited about anything.
You're tired in a way sleep doesn't fix, the things you used to love are gathering dust, and at 3am you lie awake wondering where it all went wrong.
Where you want to be
Feeling like yourself
Knowing where you're going & what you want
Knowing how to get there

The reason Why you're stuck
Let me be clear - this isn't a willpower problem, you are not broken or incapable either...
You've just been running on empty...probably for longer than you realise.
You've spent hours researching, reading the books, being excited by new routines and maybe even having therapy.
But every new habit lasts about a week, and you fall off the wagon again...which only makes you feel worse...(I just know you're nodding along here!).
So here's what I know from my own experience and from working in this space:
Knowing what to do, and actually doing it are two very different things.
For the work to stick, you need to be using the right tools for your specific situation, in the right order...which is something you wont find in a generic self help book or by using AI.
How i get you there:
No more guesswork or starting over every Monday. My tried and tested method gets you where you want to be faster than going it alone, and leaves you with a toolkit that lasts a lifetime.
Refill
First, we get you out of survival mode. I'll help you to build a toolkit of strategies to regulate your nervous system and build a strong foundation for everything else to land.
Rediscover
Then we go looking for you...the person underneath all the roles and to do lists. We reconnect you with your values, your joy and the things you loved before life got so busy, so you know exactly what you want more (and less) of.
Rebuild
Finally, we turn all of that into a clear, sustainable plan for your work, relationships and everyday life. You’ll leave with your own personal wellbeing toolkit, so if life gets busy again you’ll know exactly how to find your way back.
My approach
think of me as a Personal trainer but for Your life
I blend practical coaching with holistic wellbeing tools, because you can’t think your way out of burnout (I know, I wish it was that easy too!).
-
Body first. Breathwork, movement, nourishment and gratitude practices to get you feeling grounded and energised to make real change.
-
Your whole life. Work, relationships, energy and joy, all looked at together so the change actually sticks.
-
Space to talk it out. If you process things by saying them out loud, you’re in the right place! I’ll help you put words to what you’ve been feeling and see yourself clearly again.
-
ADHD-friendly. Structure and accountability that work with your brain, not against it.
My style is warm, safe and genuinely fun, because building a life you love should feel good, not overwhelming.
“She genuinely sees the potential in you and somehow manages to make you see it in yourself too.”
Hi, I'm catherine
a coach who has been where you are
After 11 years in recruitment, I hit a pretty epic burnout. I did the classic 'blame the job for hating my life' before realising...maybe there was something more going on. I'd attached my identity to a job that didn't match my values, I'd run myself into the ground through lack of boundaries, and I didn't know who I was anymore.
Fast forward a few years and now I'm a certified burnout coach with training in breathwork, ADHD coaching, holistic wellbeing and gut health nutrition.
Now I get to spend my days helping women across the world get their spark back...and for me, there is no greater joy than to witness your transformation.
I love to balance my days with walks in the countryside, rollerblading (you're never too old IMO), getting creative and hanging out with my friends, husband and gorgeous dog, Monty.
I will always notice the heart shaped leaf, beautiful sunset or the way your tone of voice shifted when you mention that thing that lights you up...which I think puts me in a pretty good place to do this work!
