You've built a career you're proud of.
Now you're standing at the edge of what's next.
Coaching for women creating their next career chapter. Step up, pivot, or out on your own.
ICF coaching alongside nervous system and somatic work. Because you've already decided. This is about getting the rest of you on board.

What's actually going on
You decided in a moment.
That's how the conscious mind works.
It weighs things up, it chooses, done.
Your subconscious and your nervous system learn differently. They learn from lived experience, and all of their experience is of the old chapter you're stepping out of, where you knew the rules and knew exactly how to be good at it. So they read this next one as risk: more visibility, more uncertainty, an identity you haven't lived in yet. And they respond the only way they know how. They hesitate. They overthink. They pull you back toward what's familiar.
That's not weakness, and it doesn't mean you're not capable. It's your system doing what it was designed to do: protection.
Deciding was the easy part
You're not confused about what you want. You decided months ago.
You just haven't fully stepped in yet.
It might look like:
-
researching one more qualification before you'll let yourself start
-
the application open in a tab for three weeks
-
telling no one, because saying it out loud makes it real
-
"I'll start properly once things calm down at work"
Or maybe you've already made the move. New role, new company, the business launched. And now you're over-preparing for every meeting, saying yes to everything, and working twice as hard to feel half as sure. Your mind knows exactly why you're here. Your body is still checking the exits.
Two different moments. The same thing underneath.
Clarity isn't your problem. Capacity is.
You have the clarity. You've had it for months.
What you're building is capacity: the ability to stand in the uncertainty of a new chapter, with all its newness and visibility and not-knowing-yet, while your nervous system catches up with who you're becoming.
That's the reason this work involves your body, not just the conversation. The coaching is where you decide, plan, and get held to it week to week. The somatic and nervous system work widens your window of tolerance: how much uncertainty and exposure your system can hold before it pulls you back.
And you don't do one and then the other. You make the move and build the capacity inside it, in doses your system can handle, because that's how a nervous system learns anything: by living it and finding out it's safe.
So the woman who steps into the new chapter isn't gritting her teeth through it. She has her whole system behind her.
How We Work Together
We work with the conscious mind, the subconscious, and the nervous system together, because lasting change needs all three. Change made only in your thinking is the kind that doesn't stick. You already know, because you've tried it.
Release
We start with what's been holding you in place. The limiting beliefs, the old rules, the identity you've outgrown, and the tension your body has been carrying along with them.
Seeing them clearly is the first step. Releasing them is what makes room.
Realign
Then we build what's next. Your brain updates its predictions when it gets new evidence, so that's what we give it: new internal narratives, new experiences in small doses, repeated until the next chapter starts to feel like yours. This is repatterning, and it's neuroplasticity doing exactly what it's built for.
Alongside it, you start hearing your own signals again. The tight chest before you say yes to something you don't want. The exhale when a decision is actually right. Years of performing taught you to override those. Here you get them back.
Reclaim
The step that was always yours, taken.
The bigger role. The pivot. The business. Not gritting your teeth through it, not holding your breath until it's over, not getting through on willpower alone. Yours, with your whole system behind you.
And it spreads. Into how you speak in meetings, what you'll no longer tolerate, the boundaries you hold, the way you lead. The move is where it starts. It doesn't stay there.
This is structured, ICF-credentialled coaching. You leave every session with something specific to practise, and next time we come back to what actually shifted. Someone is holding the thread with you week to week, so it compounds instead of fizzling out the way good intentions do on their own. And it works at the level your patterns actually live.
Hi, I'm Amy
Coach. Yoga teacher. Human navigating change, just like you.
I spent over a decade working my way up to a six-figure role, with every reason on paper to feel sure of myself. I'd done the mindset work. Read the books, listened to the podcasts, repeated the affirmations (like, alot). Nothing changed, because the part of me that needed convincing wasn't the part doing the all this stuff.
What changed things was working with my body (more focused on my subconscious and nervous system) instead of overriding it. So I did a very illogical thing: left the job, retrained as a coach and a yoga teacher, and spent nearly two years in a tiny fishing town on the Red Sea, building my coaching practice training in trauma-informed somatic work and freediving past my own idea of impossible.
Now I'm back in the U.K., continuing and evolving this work. I've circled the start line myself and I've had the wobble (ahem, several) on the other side of the leap. Everything I teach, I've lived first.
What clients are saying
Louise - Senior Account Director
"Amy's approach is collaborative and she's an empath who genuinely wants to help you. I changed sectors and now feel completely in sync with my work, and more passionate than ever! "
Clarissa - L&D Manager
"During a major leadership transition and the early stages of building my own business, working with Amy helped me step into both roles with more authority."
Helen - Personal Trainer
I was moving through a career transition but kept getting dysregulated when things became too real. The work helped me regulate and rebuild confidence so I could actually move forward.

Ways to work with me
I work with women making a significant career move, who want support that meets them at the level change actually happens.
1:1 Coaching
For women ready to work at depth, with ongoing support through the whole chapter.
A space to:
-
build the capacity to follow through on what you already know you want
-
work with the beliefs and patterns shaping how you show up
-
update the subconscious patterns running underneath, and teach your nervous system that this expansion is safe
Structured, relational, and responsive to where you are.
Not sure what you need yet?
That’s totally normal at this stage.
If you know something needs to change but aren’t sure what kind of support would be most useful, we can talk it through.

Short practices to try before we ever speak. This is the body layer of the coaching, not a separate thing.
