Empowering midlife women to refocus, reconnect, and cultivate growth in all areas of life.

Experience the benefits of putting yourself first.

Do you feel like the demands of life

have overshadowed your own needs and desires?

Our identity often becomes entwined with the roles we take on, until we lose sight of ourselves and what we need to thrive.

When you’ve spent years putting others first, it’s easy for the lines between who you are and what you do to blur.

The demands of everyday life take over, leaving little space for your own growth and fulfillment.

But gaining clarity is not out of reach.

The key lies in having the right tools to help you recognise your worth, rediscover your strengths,

and identify what you need to move forward with confidence and purpose.

‘The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago.

The second best time is now.’

– Chinese Proverb

Hi, I’m Leonora

If I had to describe myself today, fulfilled would be the word. But it wasn’t always that way. For years, I struggled with doubt and a lack of motivation, feeling unsure of who I was beyond the role of being a mother.

Motherhood became the central focus of my life, and while it was deeply rewarding, I found that my own interests and ambitions fell by the wayside. This loss of identity left me feeling stuck, unfulfilled, and uncertain about how to move forward.

The shift happened when I began reconnecting with my core values and rediscovering what truly mattered to me. I found tools that helped me break free from the self-doubt, build confidence, and reignite a sense of purpose. I now support other women do the same as they prioritise their own growth and well-being.

As a certified coach, I find great joy in helping women realise their potential and experience the value of investing in themselves. 

Change need not be
complicated.

I have no agenda or secret formula except to hold a space whereby you can pursue change.  Trained as an ICF ACC coach with a background in Industrial Pscyhology and Communications, and decades of parenting experience, I have the skills to draw alongside you in your quest for clarity and fulfilment by:

providing a space that is kind, authentic and non-judgemental.

creating an opportunity for you to be curious about change.

helping you understand your values in order to set goals that are aligned with what matters most to you.

encouraging you to take action steps despite the prescence of difficult thoughts and feelings.

recognise your emotions, thoughts, and behaviours, and how they impact your life and the people around you.

At the root of coaching is you and your needs.  You decide the focus, direction and pace.  

I adopt a transparent approach where I share as much or as little of my story as you would like.  

The relationship is one of trust and authenticity.

“What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals”
Henry David Thoreau

How it works:

Step One

A starting point

A commitment to coaching is an investment in your future. It is therefore essential that we are a good fit.

We’ll begin with a FREE 30 min Discovery Call where you will have an opportunity to ask questions, explore options and gain clarity and the motivation to take the next step.

Step Two

commitment to self

Once you’ve made the decision, we’ll work out a plan that works best for you.  Six sessions is a good starting point but we can work with as few as three.

This journey is about you and your commitment to self.  Giving yourself a realistic amount of time to do the work and experience the benefits is important for long lasting change.

Step Three

where, when and how

I offer 1:1 video calls on Zoom, Google Meet, Skype or WhatsApp.  In person sessions are also available.  I am flexible and will help find a time that works best for you.

The frequency depends on you, your priorities and desired rate of progress.

Client love

My main aim for many years was to serve my family but I also desired personal growth.  I felt guilty wanting both.  I began to lack confidence and felt little value in my daily tasks.  With Leonora’s help, I I now realise that I have options and I have reduced the guilt I felt in exploring them.  Leonora allowed me the space to look beyond that which was holding me back and I have discovered  strengths and skills I had totally forgotten about. 

–  Client

I believed it was my job to manage the lives of those around me.  It never dawned on me that I needed to manage my own life too. I had no idea what that entailed and why it was important until it became a desperate need.  By then I was tired and overwhelmed and had no clear direction.  Leonora’s care and natural humour helped lift the gloom and made me realise I am not alone.  With her gentle nudges, I began to see a way through the chaos of my mind.  I am grateful for her support.

– Client

Leonora is kind, compassionate and eager to listen.  Often that was all I needed, someone who’d show empathy, listen attentively and then ask questions to help clarify my thinking. I’m in a different place since working with her.

– Client

Stuck and disorganised. That’s the way I have always described myself.  Leonora threw me a life line and helped me to see that I have everything it takes to create better habits and lasting change. She has natural ability  to share tips and tricks to get you started.  

– Client

Coaching is invaluable and coaching with Leonora is even more invaluable. I wouldn’t be without a coach now. The whole process is hugely rewarding, it allows you time for yourself, to work on yourself, to work on areas you didn’t know needed work. Leonora explored several things with me, in a way that I haven’t experienced before with other coaches, she gets me very well.  

– Client

The most memorable thing about my coaching sessions with Leonora was how comfortable and relaxed the atmosphere was that she created. I felt as though I could say anything that was on my mind and would not receive any judgment.

The sessions were extremely helpful in trying to change how my brain views things in my life! I don’t always have to listen to the first thing my brain tells me – I can control how I feel and react to things in life.

– Client

I think Leonora is concerned with me as a client, she is a great listener and has helped me massively through this coaching journey. She has helped me see the things from a different perspective and helped me understand my emotions and why certain situations would bring certain emotions to the surface. She has also given me tools and advice to help me move forward without the closure I thought I needed from my difficult experience.

– Client

What to expect:

INSIGHT

Talking to an experienced coach who is able to ask the right question at the right moment will give you the opportunity to gain extra understanding of yourself, your current life and the future you want.

CLARITY

Sometimes we can get so stuck in our heads that we lose sight of what’s important. My role is to offer space, support, and tools to help bring about clarity.  The goal is a clearer focus and the development of priorities.

ACTION

Each session will involve an ‘action step’ to move you closer to your goal.   Together, we will identify your priorities and map out a realistic timescale to keep you focused and motivated.
