I didn't learn this work in a course. I learnt it in the middle of the hardest period of my life , and proved it works there.
Hi, I'm Claire.
I'm a former corporate executive turned coach for women in corporate who look successful on the outside, but internally feel like life has become a strain. At work, in their relationships, with their health. Often all three at once.
My Background
Before coaching, I spent over two decades in commercial leadership roles across Australia and New York.
Including leading $800M+ businesses with full P&L responsibility across some of Australia’s largest ASX-listed organisations, spanning retail, professional services, agency and manufacturing.
I was the one accountable. Accountable for performance, for strategy, for leading large teams inside complex, fast-moving environments. And so I understand, first-hand, the reality of operating at that level. When you can’t just switch off, when the stakes are high and people are relying on you to deliver. That was my life for over two decades.
Like many women in these environments, I became known as the person who could handle everything.
The one who took on more.
Kept things moving.
Always delivered.
From the outside, it looked like success. But internally, the fuel source was different: drive, pressure, fear. And over time, that came with a cost that went well beyond work.
What Most People Don’t See
From the outside, it looked like success.
But what it actually felt like was this: work had stopped being something I enjoyed and become something I got through. I was physically present with the people who mattered most to me, but rarely really there. And my health, and anything that was just for me, had fallen completely off the list.
I was capable. I was delivering. But I was running on pressure, responsibility and a constant low hum of not doing enough.
And for a long time, I thought that was just part of the job.
It wasn't.
What I Realised
For years, I tried to manage the pressure externally.
Be more organised. Work harder. Stay on top of everything.
The turning point came not when things calmed down, but when I found the tools to understand what was actually happening inside me. For the first time, I could see the patterns I had been living inside. And once I could see them, I could change them.
It wasn't my workload that was creating my experience. It was how I was responding to it.
That realisation changed everything that came after.
What Changed
I didn't leave my career. I didn't reduce responsibility.
But work started feeling meaningful again, not just something to get through. I stopped carrying it home in my head every evening.
I became genuinely present with the people I loved. Not the distracted, half-there version who was always mentally back at her desk, but actually there.
My health stopped being the thing that got whatever was left at the end of the day. There started to be something left.
Externally, not much changed. Internally, everything did.
Experience That Shaped My Work
What most people don't know is that I didn't discover this work after my career had settled.
I discovered it in the middle of my marriage ending, when I was pregnant with my first child.
I became a single mother before my baby was born. And I was still showing up to a senior corporate role.
Coaching wasn't something I came to from a place of comfort or curiosity. It was a lifeline. The tools I found gave me a way to understand what was happening internally, to regulate under pressure I could barely articulate, and to make clear decisions when everything around me was uncertain.
I then built my career on those foundations. As a single mother. In senior leadership. Running large commercial businesses.
And when I was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer, those same tools held.
I am telling you this not for sympathy, but because it matters to the work. I am not imagining what it feels like to hold everything together while something inside is fraying. I know what that is. And I know what changes it.
The Work I Do Now
This is now the work I do with my clients.
I help women in corporate who are still performing, still delivering, still showing up, but whose life across work, relationships and health has started to feel like a strain rather than something they enjoy.
The goal isn't better performance. It's a life that actually feels good to be in.
Through The Reset Method, we work on the three things that shape all of it: how your nervous system responds to sustained pressure, the thinking patterns running underneath your experience, and the systems and structures shaping your days.
When all three shift together, work becomes meaningful again. You're actually present in your relationships. Your health stops being the last thing on the list. And the internal noise — the second-guessing, the guilt, the mental load that never switched off, quietens.
How I Work
This work happens through my program, The Reset Method.
It’s not about, doing more, trying harder, or adding more strategies.
The Reset Method is a structured process that integrates:
Nervous system regulation
Cognitive recalibration
Practical systems that support sustainable high performance
The result isn't just feeling better at work. It's enjoying your life again, not just managing it.
These are not things I read in a book. They are things I proved in a life that tested them.
What I Believe
You don't need to leave your career, or lower your ambition, to start enjoying your life again.
You don't need to wait until things get worse before you decide to change how you're operating.
And you don't need more discipline, more systems, or more pushing through. You need to understand what's actually driving the experience — and change that.
Work that feels meaningful. Relationships you're actually present in. Health that isn't perpetually bottom of the list.
That is what's possible. And it doesn't require dismantling everything you've built.
High performance and wellbeing are not opposites.
When the internal foundations are right, they strengthen each other.
If This Sounds Like You
If life has started to feel like a strain, at work, in your relationships, with your health, and you can't remember the last time it didn't, there is another way.

“If you are on the fence, my advice, just do it!
It is not everyday that you find someone with such a rich commercial business background who is also a life coach!
Working with Claire I was able to see what was getting in my way, and she supported me in making changes.
The game changer for me was she not only understood what it is like to work in large corporates, she led within them. So I felt she really understood my challenges, and could provide guidance other coaches I worked with couldn’t as they had never actually lead in commercial roles .
It is incredible what insight and change I was able to make in just 12 weeks. Best investment yet.”
