About My Work
Senior Physiotherapist
Rise Up Coaching is for women who find themselves in a period of transition. A moment where something has ended, shifted, or no longer fits, and where the next step is not yet clear.
This can follow a divorce, a burnout, a move abroad, a change in identity or direction, or simply the quiet realisation that you have outgrown the life you were living.
These moments can feel unsettling, overwhelming, and disorienting. Not because you are incapable, but because you are being asked to reposition yourself internally, not just externally.
My work is about supporting women through that process with clarity, steadiness, and respect.
How I See Transitions
I believe many women arrive at a life transition feeling more exhausted than confused.
You may have reached a point where you are tired of holding everything together. Tired of adapting. Tired of being the strong one. Perhaps you have been pushing through for so long that you barely recognise yourself anymore.
Often, this moment comes quietly. You have not necessarily fallen apart, but something inside you knows you cannot keep going like this. You may feel overwhelmed, low in energy, emotionally flat, or at the end of your rope, not because you have failed, but because you have been carrying too much for too long.
Many women in this place have settled into roles that were expected of them or that once made sense. Roles they grew into out of love, responsibility, or necessity. Over time, those roles can start to feel constricting. You function, you cope, you do what needs to be done, but inside you feel disconnected from yourself and from what you truly want.
That moment, when you start looking for support, is not a sign of weakness. It is a sign that something in you is ready for change.
My work starts there. With understanding, steadiness, and the reassurance that you do not have to figure this out alone. I meet you where you are, and together we begin to create space for clarity, strength, and a way forward that actually fits you.
Different Transitions, Similar Questions
Life transitions do not all look the same, but the questions underneath them often are.
For some women, this phase begins after a divorce or the end of a long relationship. The structure that once held daily life together falls away, and suddenly there is space and uncertainty. You may be asking yourself who you are now, what you want, and how to rebuild a life that feels like yours again.
For others, it shows up after moving abroad or relocating. On the outside, it may look like an adventure or a fresh start. On the inside, it can feel disorienting and lonely. Familiar reference points are gone, and the version of you that once felt confident may feel harder to access.
Many women arrive here after a period of burnout or prolonged stress. They kept going long past what was sustainable, often because stopping did not feel like an option. When the body or mind finally calls for change, it can feel frightening, confusing, and deeply humbling.
And sometimes there is not one clear event at all. Just a growing sense that the life you are living no longer fits. You may have settled into routines, roles, or expectations that once worked, but now feel empty or restrictive.
Different Circumstances, Similar experience
At the heart of each of these transitions is the same underlying moment: the realisation that something needs to change, even if you do not yet know what that change looks like.
My work supports women in navigating that space between what was and what is next with clarity, steadiness, and respect for where they are right now.
How I Work With Women
My coaching style is warm, grounded, and direct
I offer a space where you can be honest, reflective, and challenged when needed. I do not shy away from complexity or difficult conversations, and I trust your capacity to look at yourself with courage and responsibility.
We work with what is present in your life now. That can include strong emotions, inner conflict, uncertainty, and pressure. I will not rush you, but I also will not keep you comfortable at the cost of growth.
Together, we clarify what no longer fits, what you are ready to let go of, and what wants to take shape next. Insight matters only when it leads to movement. Our work always points forward.
Professional Boundaries
I work as a coach, not as a therapist.
I do not diagnose, treat trauma, or offer crisis intervention. At the same time, I do not only work with women who feel fine or have little on their plate.
Many of the women I work with carry a lot. They are navigating change, responsibility, emotional weight, and uncertainty. Coaching is appropriate when you are functioning in daily life and are willing to take an active role in reflection and change, even when things feel heavy.
If at any point it becomes clear that a different form of support would serve you better, I will be honest and transparent about that. Clear boundaries are not about exclusion. They are about creating a safe and effective working relationship.
