THE BECOMING

A private container for women ready to step into a new way of being.

.

Maybe you’re the woman who stays.

Who handles what others can’t or won’t. Who’s always on, managing, anticipating, never quite stopping. You may get your validation from how much you do, your sense of worth from what you can handle.

You may be exhausted and anxious, but you’ve learned not to feel it.

And when you finally have the opportunity to stop, to rest, to do nothing, you can’t. You don’t know how. A wave of anxiety washes over you the moment there’s space.

The thought of letting go, even slightly, feels impossible. What if everything falls apart without you holding it together?

From the outside, you look capable. Inside, you’re carrying far more than anyone sees.

You may believe that if you just give more, do more, stay longer, it will finally be enough.

It won’t.

Not because you’re failing, but because over-giving is not the path to love. It’s the pattern that keeps you from it.

WHAT THIS container IS for

The Becoming is a five-session private container for capable, sensitive women who are ready to stop carrying so much alone.

This work supports you to step out of over-responsibility, over-giving and chronic over-functioning. Together, we settle your nervous system and rebuild your capacity for steadiness, clarity and self-trust.

The change does not come through pressure or performance, but through steady, supported work that integrates into your real life.

Over-giving is often over-compensation, rooted in the learned belief that if I give or do more, then I am loved.

This container is for women who recognise that the way they have been holding everything is no longer sustainable, and who feel ready to understand the deeper patterns shaping their relationships, energy and sense of responsibility.

You do not need to be in crisis. You simply need to be ready to relate to yourself and your life in a different way.

THE WOMAN BEHIND THE WORK

I am a professional coach with training in integrative psychotherapy. I have over 15 years of experience supporting women navigating burnout, life transitions, and relational change.

Over the course of my career, I have worked with thousands of women across 1:1 containers, group programs, and retreats, including through Energy For Life Academy and Awakened Woman Life Mastery, transformational programs I created.

My professional training includes integrative psychotherapy, relational and attachment-based approaches, somatic and nervous system education, and more than 20 years of embodied practice.

My professional training provides the foundation, but my lived experience of this pattern is what shapes how I hold space.

I know the pattern of over-functioning and over-responsibility intimately because I lived it. I know what it is to be the capable one, the steady one, the one who holds it together while quietly carrying far more than anyone sees.

That lived experience, integrated through my own deep work, now shapes how I hold space for high-achieveing high-functioning women stepping out of these same cycles.

My approach is grounded, relational, and focused on transformation rather than endless processing. I work at the pace of your nervous system, creating the conditions where calm, clarity, and self-trust can return naturally and sustainably.

This is spacious, steady and respectful of your experience.

WHERE THESE PATTERNS BEGIN

 

The ways you over give, over function or carry emotional responsibility did not appear out of nowhere.

For many women, these patterns began early, when being attuned to others’ needs felt necessary for connection or safety. Over time, that way of relating became automatic.

You became the reliable one. The strong one. The one who holds it together.

These responses were intelligent adaptations. They helped you belong or stay safe. But what once protected you may now be exhausting you.

This work brings gentle awareness to those early adaptations, not to dwell in the past, but to help your system realise it no longer has to carry everything alone.

HOW THE CONTAINER WORKS

 

The Becoming is a five-session private container that unfolds over approximately three months, allowing space for real integration and sustainable change.

Sessions are spaced every two to three weeks so your nervous system has time to settle and integrate the work between sessions.

 

 

The container includes:

  • A 15-minute alignment cal
  • Five private one-to-one sessions, each 75 minutes
  • Personalised practices to support integration between sessions
  • Light-touch support between sessions via voice or message
  • Tailored resources based on your specific patterns and needs

 

 

Each session builds on the last. We move at a pace that respects your system while supporting meaningful progress.

Inside this container, you are not pushed or analysed. You are met, guided and supported in a way that helps your system soften, reorganise and build new capacity over time.

This is deep work. We work at the pace of your nervous system so that change can land and last.

INVESTMENT

Founding Rate: $2,500 AUD

Available for the first 10 clients only.

Payment plans available.

This container is a focused season of support, designed to create meaningful internal and external shifts over several months.
Because this is deep, attuned work, I work with a small number of women at a time so each space can be held with care, steadiness and presence.

 

THE JOURNEY THROUGH THE BECOMING

 

The container unfolds across five sessions. Each one builds gently on the last, allowing insight to become lived change in your nervous system, relationships and daily life.

 

APPLY NOW
Session 1: Returning to Your Body and Nervous System

We begin by slowing down and arriving in what is actually happening for you right now.

Together we map your current experience across your body, emotions, relationships and responsibilities. We look at where you feel stretched, overwhelmed or disconnected, and begin gently building a sense of internal steadiness and support.

This session creates the foundation for everything that follows. You do not need to have the answers. You only need to show up as you are.

Session 2: Understanding the Patterns You Carry

Here we explore the deeper patterns shaping how you move through life, especially where over functioning, over giving or emotional suppression have become ways to stay safe, needed or in control.

For many women, these patterns were shaped early in close relationships, often with a parent or primary caregiver. You may have learned to be the capable one, the easy one, the emotionally attuned one, or the one who did not add to the load. Your nervous system adapted to prioritise connection and stability, sometimes at the expense of your own needs.

We gently explore how these early relational dynamics may still be influencing how you show up in your adult relationships, work and daily life. This is not about blaming the past. It is about understanding what your system learned and why.

Seeing the pattern with compassion, rather than judgement, is the first step in loosening its grip and creating space for new ways of relating.

 

Session 3: Reclaiming Energy and Personal Boundaries

As awareness grows, we begin to shift from automatic survival responses to more conscious, resourced choices.

You learn to recognise when you are acting from obligation, fear or old conditioning, and how to pause and return to yourself before responding. We work with boundaries, energy protection and simple regulation practices that support you to stay present rather than defaulting into over responsibility.

This is often where women begin to feel a new sense of space inside their lives.

 

Session 4: Reconnection with Your Needs and Direction

With more steadiness in your system, we turn toward your own needs, values and desires.

We explore where you have been living from expectation rather than alignment, and what it might look like to make decisions from a place of clarity instead of pressure. This may include shifts in relationships, work, communication or how you structure your time and energy.

You begin to feel what is actually yours to carry, and what you are ready to lay down.

 

Session 5: Integration and Ongoing Self-Trust

Our final session focuses on anchoring what has shifted and supporting you to move forward with greater clarity and self trust.

We reflect on the patterns that have softened, the changes you have begun to make, and the practices or awareness that will continue to support you beyond the container. The aim is not to be finished, but to feel more resourced, grounded and able to meet your life without immediately abandoning yourself.

You leave with a stronger internal reference point and a deeper sense of steadiness in how you relate to yourself and others.

 

Is The Becoming Right For You?

This work is for high-functioning women who are quietly exhausted.

The Becoming may be a good fit if:

  • You are the one everyone relies on
  • You struggle to switch off
  • You feel responsible for others’ emotions
  • You are high-functioning but internally exhausted
  • You have done personal work but still feel stuck in patterns
  • You are ready for change, not just insight

You do not need to be at breaking point. You simply need to be ready to relate to yourself and your life in a different way.

 

Everything has changed for me, everything and what I have realised is that it starts from the inside and when you change from the inside your outside world has to change. I am much more confident in the world. I am getting noticed at work. I am getting offered roles that previously were not really coming my way but should have been. Everything just comes together when you participate in this!

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Is this therapy?

No. This is coaching work, not therapy. It is focused on transformation and integration rather than diagnosis or treatment, though it is deeply informed by my training in integrative psychotherapy and relational approaches.

If you are in crisis or need acute mental health support, this container is not the right fit. I can help you find more appropriate support if needed.

What if I am not sure this is right for me?

That is exactly what the 15-minute alignment call is for. It is not a sales call. It is a short conversation to explore what you are looking for and whether this container feels like the right level of support.

If it is not the right fit, I will say so and help you consider other options.

How do sessions work? What platform do you use?

All sessions are conducted online via Zoom. You’ll receive a private meeting link before each session. Sessions are 75 minutes and are not recorded, to create a confidential space where you can be fully present.

What if I need to reschedule a session?

Life happens. If you need to reschedule, please give at least 48 hours notice when possible. This allows us to reschedule without losing the session.

I'm in a different time zone. Can we make this work?

Sessions are scheduled at times that work for both of us. I work with clients across different time zones and am happy to find a time that suits your schedule. We’ll discuss timing during your alignment call.

Do I need to prepare anything before our first session?

No preparation is needed. Just show up as you are. After you book, you’ll receive a brief welcome email with practical details, but there is no homework or pre-work required.

Why only five sessions?

The Becoming is designed as a focused, intentional container rather than ongoing weekly support. The spacing between sessions allows time for real integration, so change can take root in your daily life rather than staying at the level of insight.

Five sessions creates a clear arc of work while still respecting the pace your nervous system needs.

What happens between sessions?

Between sessions, you’ll receive personalised practices or prompts to support integration. These might include simple breathwork, meditation practices, grounding exercises, reflective prompts, or small shifts in daily patterns and boundaries.

These practices are designed to feel supportive rather than overwhelming, helping the work land in your real life rather than staying at the level of insight.

You’re also welcome to reach out briefly via voice note or message if something significant arises.

Do you offer a payment plan?

Yes.

You are welcome to pay in full before we begin, which includes a 500 AUD saving.

Alternatively, a payment plan is available: three monthly payments of $1,000 AUD (total $3,000 AUD), spread evenly over the three months of our work together.

Details can be discussed during the alignment call so we can choose the option that feels most supportive and manageable for you.

What if I need more support after the container?

Some women feel complete after five sessions. Others choose to begin another container later, when they are ready for the next layer of work.

We will reflect together near the end about what feels most supportive for you moving forward.
