Hi, I'm Janine
My mission is simple: to empower women to reclaim joy, navigate transitions with confidence, and create lives that feel genuinely fulfilling.
My Story
Hi, I'm Janine—and I understand what it's like to stand at a crossroads, wondering which path leads to healing, purpose, and joy.
Life's transitions can feel overwhelming. Whether it's navigating the aftermath of divorce, adjusting to an empty nest, or simply feeling stuck and yearning for more, these moments often leave us questioning our identity and our next steps.
I get it. I've navigated a difficult divorce, the end of a ten-year engagement, retrenchment, the constant challenge of feeling out of place and the void of an empty nest. Each of these experiences tested my resilience and deepened my practice of self-compassion - foundations that now shape my approach to coaching.
In 2023, although my life appeared successful on the surface, I again found myself feeling out of place and disconnected. Determined to find true connection and alignment, I revisited the coping strategies that had supported me in the past, critically examined what worked, researched what didn't and explored fresh perspectives. In January 2024, what started as scribblings inspired me to start writing my first book, 'Beyond the Nest': A Guide for Mums When Kids Leave Home,' and to pursue formal coaching education and subsequent certifications.
I became a transition coach to be the supportive, non-judgmental guide I wish I'd had during my own transitions. Today, I specialise in helping women navigate divorce recovery, empty nest transitions, and live a life of genuine joy and fulfilment.
