You tick every box on paper, but inside you feel small, unseen, or quietly furious at how much you’re still swallowing.
You’ve done the work: therapy, executive coaching, leadership programmes, all the books.
The pattern persists anyway.
That’s not personal failure.
It’s the cost of systems that reward you for overriding your body, your boundaries, and your needs to keep producing.
At work, it looks like over-functioning and never switching off. At home, it seeps into your closest relationships: doing the emotional labour, holding it all together, resenting how alone you feel in it.
Somewhere along the way, you learned that keeping the peace was more important than telling the truth. That being needed was safer than having needs. That belonging required adaptation. So you became skilled at reading the room, anticipating other people’s emotions and holding everything together.
From the outside, it looked like strength. Inside, it felt like losing touch with yourself.
The women I work with are very capable. They’ve spent years putting connection with everyone else first, while slowly disconnecting from themselves.
I’ve spent 31 years in healthcare, 12 of them as an NHS Health Visitor. I’m trained in Compassionate Inquiry, the method developed by Dr Gabor Maté and Sat Dharam Kaur, and I work with breathwork and somatic coaching alongside it.
The aim is to rebuild your relationship with yourself, so you can recognise what you need and stay connected to it when someone is disappointed, uncomfortable, or doesn’t understand. When the old pattern says adapt, please, fix or over-function, you have another choice.
The goal isn’t to stop caring about others. It’s to stop losing yourself in the process.
Rooted - For when you understand exactly why you do it, and do it anyway. This starts where understanding stops and embodiment begins. Two 60-minute sessions a month, rolling, no contract. [See how Rooted works]
Breathwork - For when you need your body to settle. Practical, guided, safe, and you can start this week: a single 60 or 75-minute session, no experience needed. [See breathwork sessions]
“I will meet you where you are and hold a compassionate, empathetic and safe space for your voice, emotions and being.”
