About Woman in Progress

I’m a health and life coach, and a mum to three beautiful children.

​

Like many women, I grew up with strong values around generosity,

service and putting others first. I’ve always believed deeply in caring

for the people around me, and while the popular message of

“put yourself first” has its place, it never completely resonated

with me. I always felt there had to be another way —

a way to care for ourselves while continuing to care

deeply for the people we love, without feeling that one has to come at the

expense of the other.

When my first son was born, it was one of the happiest times of my life,

but it was also the beginning of one of the most difficult chapters

I would experience. Around the same time, my father became very

sick, beginning a battle that lasted for many years.

When he eventually passed away, I felt deeply shaken.

Losing him changed something within me and began a much

deeper journey of self-discovery, reflection and understanding who I was and what I wanted my life to look like.

​

For a while, life settled into a comfortable rhythm. Our two older children were at school and becoming more independent, and we finally had a little more space again — both physically and emotionally. Then our third child arrived, a beautiful, soul-shaking blessing who opened something deep within me that I hadn’t expected.

Alongside the overwhelming love and gratitude I felt, I found myself grieving the simplicity of my old life while still carrying the pain of losing my father. Old wounds resurfaced, and I began to recognise feelings I had spent years pushing aside. There was grief, guilt, exhaustion and, underneath it all, a quiet longing for something more.

Instead of continuing to push those feelings away, I gave myself permission to actually feel them. And in that honesty, I began to find clarity.

​

I realised that wanting more from life doesn’t mean you are ungrateful for what you already have. Wanting to grow doesn’t mean the people you love aren’t enough. And taking care of yourself doesn’t mean you have to stop caring for everyone else.

​

I began to see that life isn’t something we are meant to spend waiting to escape from. It is something we are meant to be present in — finding joy in the ordinary moments, appreciating what we have while still allowing ourselves to dream about what could be. Yes, dream big. Yes, travel, explore and chase the things that light you up. But don’t wait for “one day” to feel alive.

​

You deserve to feel nourished, fulfilled and whole in the life you are living right now.

That realisation became a huge part of why Woman in Progress was created.

We believe every woman matters, and every woman has something valuable to offer. We want to create a space where women feel seen, heard and supported — a place where you can be honest about where you are without feeling that you need to have everything figured out. Because none of us are broken.

​

​Sometimes life bends us a little. Sometimes it changes us completely. Sometimes we lose our way, become overwhelmed, put ourselves last for too long, or simply reach a point where we know something needs to change.

And in those moments, we don’t need to be fixed. We need support. We need encouragement. We need connection. We need someone to remind us that there is still more ahead.

That is what Woman in Progress means to me.

​

It is about giving women permission to keep becoming — to care for themselves without guilt, to want more without apology, to embrace where they are while still moving towards where they want to be, and to know that they never have to navigate that journey alone.

​

Because you are not broken. You are becoming. You are a woman in progress.
