Mindfulness & life coaching
You gave everything to the life you built. Somewhere along the way, you lost yourself in it.
Mindfulness-based coaching for women who are capable, functioning, and running on empty. Something has dimmed: the spark, the sense of yourself underneath all the roles.
MBSR-certified · ICF-aligned coach · An unhurried, confidential 30-minute conversation. No pressure, no agenda.
“A safe space out of work/life busyness to focus on what really matters. Coaching with Linda was very effective in helping me set boundaries, and improving my relationships and stress levels generally.”
Recognition
The exhaustion nobody around you can quite see
On the outside, everything holds together. You show up. You manage. You're the capable one. But inside, something is different from how it used to be. This state rarely announces itself dramatically. It creeps up on you, and it responds to a specific kind of support.
Nothing wrong with you
There is nothing wrong with you. There is something depleted in you.
This is not a crisis. It's an identity shift that most of us aren't prepared for. The roles that organised your adult life begin to change shape, and the things that used to tell you who you were stop being so clear. This is where the work starts. Steadiness first, then the fuller, more alive life waiting underneath it: visualisation, flow, and creative practice, not just recovery.
You don't need a five year plan. You need somewhere safe enough to notice what's actually true first.
How this works
Steadiness first. Then the fuller, more alive life waiting underneath.

The Reset
Four weeks to create space, steadiness and a calmer mind
A 1:1 mindfulness programme for women who feel mentally overloaded, emotionally depleted, or disconnected from themselves. Most approaches to exhaustion start with strategy. This one starts somewhere else: your nervous system, using evidence-based MBSR practices drawn from over 40 years of research.
- One hourly 1:1 session each week
- Seven guided recordings, including the body scan, breath awareness, mindful movement and self-compassion
- A personal workbook for reflection between sessions
- Weekly check-ins so you're supported between sessions, not just during them
“When I started working with Linda, I felt exhausted and didn't know where to begin, but I knew something needed to change. Now I feel like myself again.”
Included
Yours to keep
Alongside our four sessions, you'll have a 38-page workbook, seven guided recordings I've made for you, and check-ins between sessions by email or WhatsApp.
The workbook is somewhere to write down what you're noticing, try the practices, and come back to long after our four weeks are over.

The Slow Unfold™
Eight weeks to find your way back to yourself
A deeper 1:1 coaching journey for women ready for a fuller life: identity, visualisation, flow, and slow creative practice, at whatever pace actually fits your life. Often through slow, creative practice rather than conversation alone. You can start here, or after The Reset.
- Weekly 1:1 coaching sessions, mindfulness-grounded, paced to your capacity
- Values clarification and work with beliefs running in the background
- Space for visualisation and flow work
- Guidance in slow creative practice, only where it's helpful
“When I started working with Linda, my job of five years had just ended and I felt lost in myself. Working with her, I didn't just find a new job, I found the one I'd always dreamed of.”

Your guide
Hi, I'm Linda
I work with women who feel like they've spent years being the reliable one, and now feel disconnected from who they are underneath all the roles and responsibilities.
I came to this work because I needed it. I know what it means to keep functioning through something that would slowly break you, if you let it.
I also make things. Slow stitching, upcycling, working with my hands. These found their way into my practice long before I had clinical language for why they work.

Is this work right for you
You might feel at home here if…
No prior mindfulness experience needed. No dramatic crisis required. No particular personality type necessary. Just a sense, however faint, that you'd like to find your way back to yourself.
Questions
Things women often ask
I'm already overwhelmed, how can coaching fit into my life?
If your life already feels full, coaching shouldn't feel like another demand on you. The work is designed to create space, not take more from you. Sessions are paced around your capacity. Most women find that even the first session gives them something they didn't have before: not more to do, but a different quality of attention to what's already there.
What makes this different from other mindfulness programmes?
The work is sequenced on purpose: steadiness first, then the deeper coaching, with creative and identity work later if it suits you. It draws on 40 years of MBSR research and ICF-standard coaching practice, and on my own Master's training in mindfulness-based approaches.
I've tried mindfulness before and it didn't work for me.
Usually what didn't work was an app, a generic course, or sitting still waiting for something to happen. The practices here are specific, scaffolded and taught with the nervous system in mind, including approaches for women who find sitting still difficult or who have ADHD traits. There is more than one door into this. We find the one that's yours.
I don't know what I want anymore, can coaching still help?
Yes, and this is where many of the women I work with begin. When you've spent years attending to everyone else, losing touch with your own wants and needs is not a failure. It is a predictable consequence. Part of the work is simply rebuilding the habit of attending to yourself, gently and without pressure.
Do I need to have experienced trauma for trauma-informed to be relevant?
No. Many women I work with haven't experienced dramatic events. They've experienced the accumulation of sustained responsibility, emotional labour and chronic low-level depletion. Trauma-informed simply means the work is paced carefully and your nervous system's responses are treated with respect.
