If you’ve lost yourself in motherhood, you’re not alone.

I help women come home to themselves—gently, powerfully, and without guilt.

When did you stop asking yourself what you need?

Whether you’ve been mothering for ten years or thirty, one truth holds: you matter too, as a woman with emotional depth, creative fire, dreams you’ve set aside, and needs that didn’t vanish when you became a mother.

If you’re waking up to those whispers, wondering what else is possible for you now… you’re in the right place.

This is the heart of my work:

Helping mothers grow emotionally, not just for their families but also for themselves, so connection becomes a two-way street, not a one-sided stretch.

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

The second best time is now.’

– Chinese Proverb

This space is for women who…

Have spent years pouring into family, work, and responsibility, and are now wondering where they went;

Long to reconnect with their emotional needs, not just manage everyone else’s;

Are ready to be seen as more than the role they’ve played;

Are looking for tools, support, and conversation that go beyond surface-level self-care;

Feel a quiet pull toward something more, something that includes them.

Coaching, writing, and reflective resources that will help you…

Reconnect with your sense of self—your worth, your voice, your place in the world;

Make space for your own needs without guilt, fear or apology;

Recognise patterns in your thoughts, reactions, and relationships, and gently shift them;

Strengthen connection within your family through presence, not perfection;

Creat a life that includes you, not just the roles you’ve played.

Hi, I’m Leonora

It’s always amused me that my surname is Found. I’ve heard the joke more times than I can count—“You’re not lost, you’re Found!”—and while it usually gets a laugh, there’s a deeper truth in it I can’t ignore.

Because somewhere along the journey of parenting—between the needs of my children, the emotional growth of everyone around me, and the quiet weight of partnership—I did lose something. I lost sight of myself.

Not all at once. But gradually, in the thousand little moments where everyone else’s needs came first, I forgot how important my own were. I buried parts of myself in the name of being “there” for others. And for a while, I wore that as a badge of honour.

What changed?
I found myself again when I realised that investing in my own growth, healing, and needs wasn’t selfish—it was essential.
Not just for me, but for my entire family.

This process didn’t change how I parented. It changed how I lived.

Now, as a certified coach, writer, and mother of three, I support women who want to grow alongside their families. I help them develop the tools, language, and self-understanding they need to build stronger relationships, without losing themselves in the process.

It turns out that Found isn’t just my surname, it’s also my story.

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 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.

Where are you right now?

As we stand on the edge of a new year, I know many of us are still feeling the weight of post-Christmas exhaustion. The busyness, the emotions, and the sheer energy it takes to wrap up a year can leave one feeling stretched thin. Despite being someone who loves...
