Welcome, I’m Sandra …
I’m a life and career coach, dog lover and multi-passionate with a practical mind and soul-led heart.
I work with women who may have gained success in their careers, but are feeling the pull towards something new that’s more emotionally fulfilling.
The women I work with seek more than just a paycheck
My clients want a life rich in meaning, passion and balance.
You might be here because you’ve spent years caring for others or prioritising other people's needs and now you’re realising it’s time to prioritise yourself. It’s time to explore your own dreams and desires.
Having made a major career shift myself, I know how overwhelming, exciting and life changing this journey can be. It’s a path that requires courage, clarity and often the right support at just the right time.
Looking back, I often wonder how much easier my journey would have been if I’d had someone there to help me navigate all the twists and turns. That’s precisely why I’m here – to be that support for you.
You should know
I’m not your typical career coach
My approach is deeply holistic, blending transformative life and career coaching as well as energetic healing practices such as Reiki to help you make true, lasting change from the inside out.
I’m here to help you reconnect with your true self, overcome the limiting beliefs holding you back and make meaningful shifts in your career and life.
Whether you’re feeling stuck in your current role, yearning for more balance, or are simply ready to explore what’s next, I’m here to walk beside you, helping you take those brave steps to RISE toward a more fulfilling, authentic life and career.
My Journey
Like many of us, my career journey began by following all the “shoulds.”
For years, I was guided by the paths I thought I “ought” to take. I listened to all the well-meaning advice to secure a stable, well-paying job—that was all that seemed to matter at the time. And so, I began my career as a teacher, dedicated to making a difference. Yet over several years, subtle (and not-so-subtle!) signs began to show me that something needed to shift.
How did I know I was misaligned?
I felt a growing disconnect between my role and my well-being. While I loved supporting others, the environment left me drained and consistently burnt out. I knew deep down that I wasn’t living up to my highest potential.
Becoming a mother became a pivotal turning point, as it is for so many women. Juggling motherhood and the workload I faced as a teacher, didn’t feel right for me. So while on maternity leave with my second, I gave myself the space to pause and reconnect with myself, my priorities and my growing urge to ditch the “shoulds” that had defined my path for long.
When we give ourselves space to dream a little bigger, it can often activate a load of self-doubt. Does this sound familiar…
You’re starting to ask yourself:
Who am I to want more? Can I really start over? Am I truly capable of doing something else? (Spoiler alert: YES you absolutely are)
Claiming my new life required a shift in my identity
I had to say goodbye to the “Good Girl” who followed everyone else’s expectations and nurture the woman who is courageous enough to pave her own path.
Change becomes much easier when you remember why you’re doing it.
I knew I wanted to be fully present for my family and to live a life of purpose.
Feeling a strong nudge to take action, I took a leap and enrolled in a career development qualification—and I loved it. I gained so much, not just academically, but personally too.
With each step, I gained greater clarity and momentum, moving deeper into this new direction. Eventually, I found my way to coaching, discovering a path that allows me to be of service to others while nurturing my family life and personal growth. It’s a path that feels purposeful and authentically me.
And the more I reconnected with what lit me up, the more I was drawn to explore other areas of personal and spiritual development, like energy work and Reiki. These practices helped me align even more deeply with my purpose and continue to keep my multi-passionate heart happy!
Now, as a coach, I know for certain that:
These kinds of transitions are never really just about changing careers, but creating a life that truly reflects what matters most to us.
