You have the role. The results. The life.
So why does it still feel like this?
You’re delivering. Meeting expectations. Holding everything together.
And still
your mind doesn’t switch off
you’re more reactive, and feel less in control of your emotions
you replay conversations after they’ve happened
you feel behind, like there is never enough time
you feel guilty about how you're showing up, at work and at home.
You have tried fixing what is on the outside, but nothing really sticks and that is because that only deals with the symptoms. Not what is really going on.
This isn’t burnout
Women who do well in corporate are exceptionally good at holding it together.
So when things start to feel off, it's easy to assume: "I must be burning out."
But that's not what's happening.
You're still performing. Still delivering. Still showing up. In fact, holding it together at work is probably what you're best at. That's not the problem.
The problem is what your life actually feels like.
Work has stopped being something you enjoy and become something you get through. You're physically present with the people who matter most to you, but you're not really there. And your health, and anything that's just for you, has fallen completely off the list.
It's bleeding across all three. And what you want, underneath all of it, is to enjoy your life again. Not just manage it.
Why things haven’t changed
1. The advice was never built for your reality
I see this a lot. Women coming to me frustrated after trying to implement systems on an already packed agenda. Advice from people who haven’t lived this level of responsibility. Who don’t understand what it’s like to operate in a senior corporate role.
It’s not that the advice was wrong.
It just wasn’t built for the reality you’re in.
2. You have only been treating the symptoms
This was me for a long time. Trying to find the perfect system. Time blocking. Setting boundaries. Meditating. And they helped… temporarily. But they were all working on the surface.
Because tools can manage the symptoms.
But they don’t change what’s driving them.
3. You can’t change what you can’t see in the moment
Most patterns don’t look like patterns when they’re happening. They often feel like: urgency, responsibility, something you have to deal with right now.
So you follow them. And by the time you notice it…it’s already played out again.
That’s why this hasn’t changed.
THE RESET METHOD
The Reset Method is my 90-day, 1:1 signature coaching program.
This is not a course you move through.
This is work tailored to you:
your role
your pressure
your patterns
No modules. No generic advice. Just focused, high-level support, to help you finally feel good about your life and yourself.
Over 90 days we uncover what is getting in your way, and we recalibrate the way you operate so you can lead your work and life with greater steadiness and control.
What We Change In 90 Days
Over 90 days, we change your experience across three areas of your life, and the internal patterns driving all of them.
The three life areas:
Work: shifts from something you get through to something you can actually enjoy again; the relentlessness lifts and work becomes meaningful rather than just demanding
Relationships: shifts from physically present but mentally elsewhere, to genuinely connected; the guilt, resentment and disconnection ease
Health and energy: shifts from bottom of the list to something you can actually attend to; you have something left for yourself at the end of the day
The internal shifts that make it sustainable:
Your sense of control: feeling more in control of yourself and your life; less reactive, more deliberate in how you move through your days
Your self-trust: making decisions and backing yourself; the second-guessing and self-criticism reduce
Your understanding of what has been driving it: clarity on the root cause across all three areas; once you can see the patterns, you can change them
Three Pillars Of Change
We are not one dimensional beings and so I have designed this program around three key pillars.
Pillar 1: Regulated Nervous Systems
Many women in corporate are operating with a nervous system that is constantly under pressure, and it shows up not just at work, but in how they experience everything else. Relationships feel harder. Rest doesn't restore. Small things tip them over.
Instead of constantly pushing through stress or urgency, you develop steadiness under pressure. You build emotional resilience so you can recover more quickly.
Result: Capacity: greater stability in how you respond to challenges.
Pillar 2: Cognitive Recalibration
Much of the strain you feel, at work, in your relationships, with yourself, is shaped by thinking patterns you've developed over years of responsibility and high standards. They run quietly in the background, and they are often the last thing you would think to question.
Together we identify the patterns impacting you. Once these patterns become visible, change is possible.
Result: Choice: sharper thinking and clearer decision-making.
Pillar 3: Strategic Capacity Design
When life feels like a strain across work, relationships and health simultaneously, it is often because the systems and structures you're operating inside are draining you, leaving nothing for the things and people that actually matter to you.
This part of the work focuses on redesigning how you structure your time, expectations and commitments so your environment begins to support you rather than constantly pulling from you.
Result: Energy: more energy and capacity to show up the way you want.
Capacity ~ Choice ~ Energy
What this looks like in real life
Work
Before: You get to the end of a week and realise you haven't actually enjoyed a single moment of it.
After: Work feels like something you want to show up to, not just something you have to get through.
Before: You read an email and feel it in your body before you've even processed it.
After: You read it, respond, and move on.
Relationships
Before: You sit down with the people you love, and you're restless, distracted, somewhere else entirely.
After: You're actually present. And you want to be there.
Before: You feel guilty about how you're showing up with the people who matter to you, and then resent yourself for the guilt.
After: You feel good about how you're showing up. The guilt eases.
Health
Before: You know what would help, sleep, movement, time to yourself, but you've stopped even trying…you just don’t have the energy.
After: You increase your energy and capacity. You have something left for yourself.
The future
Before: You think about what's ahead and feel a heaviness, dread, like you're just managing what's coming.
After: You feel genuinely excited about what's ahead.
If this is resonating, the next step is simple.
Book a free initial consultation, a 40-minute conversation where we look at what's actually happening for you across your work, relationships and life, and what it could feel like to change it.
No pitch. No pressure. Most women leave with more clarity about what has been driving their experience than they've had in a long time.
"If you are on the fence, my advice, just do it! It is not everyday that you find someone with such a rich 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 understood what it is like to work in large corporates, so I felt she really understood my challenges. It is incredible what insight and change I was able to make in just 12 weeks. Best investment yet."
— Leah R, General Manager Marketing
Why work with me
Before coaching, I spent over two decades in corporate, leading large-scale commercial businesses, including running businesses of over $800M with full P&L responsibility.
My job was not advising leaders. It was being the one accountable.
I know what it feels like when the decisions carry real weight, the pressure doesn't switch off, and people are relying on you to perform.
But the corporate career was only part of it.
My marriage ended when I was pregnant with my first child. I became a single mother from the start. I was later diagnosed with stage 3 cancer.
The tools in this program didn't just help me feel better. They held under the hardest conditions my life has offered.
That is why I know they work, and why I know they work specifically for women carrying the weight of a senior career alongside everything else.
Client Results
Clients don't describe this as a mindset shift. They describe it as finally enjoying their life again.
What that looks like:
Work feels interesting and meaningful again, not just relentless
They are actually present with the people they love, not just physically there
They have stopped abandoning their health and have energy for themselves again
The internal noise, the second-guessing, the guilt, the mental load that never switched off, has reduced
They feel genuinely excited about what's ahead
Externally, their life often looks the same. But internally, it feels completely different.
How the 90-Day Container Works
The Reset Method is delivered as a private coaching container over three months.
During that time we work closely together as you recalibrate how you think, regulate and lead.
The container includes:
12 × Weekly Private Coaching Sessions
60 minutes, 1:1, tailored entirely to what is happening for you that week. No pre-set curriculum, the work follows your real life, not a fixed module. This is what makes change stick: integration in real time, not theory.
90-Day Mi-Goals Reset Journal
Your daily companion throughout the 90 days. The Mi-Goals journal combines planning, reflection and nervous system practices in one place, so the work doesn't stay in the coaching session. It becomes part of how you move through your day. Most clients say this alone shifts how they start and end each day.
Practical Tools and Frameworks Library
Tried and tested. Built for the reality of a full corporate schedule, not for someone with hours to spare. Includes nervous system practices, decision-making frameworks and planning templates you can apply immediately.
Between-Session Support
Real-time guidance when you need it, not just in sessions. Because the moments that matter most don't always wait for the next call.
Everything we do is tailored to your specific circumstances, responsibilities and goals.
Investment
The investment for The Reset Method is $3,500.
That is 90 days of private 1:1 work, tailored to your role, your relationships, and what is actually going on across your life. Twelve sessions. A daily journal built for the program. Tools you will use well beyond the 90 days. Direct access between sessions when you need it.
Most women who have done this work describe it as the first thing that actually changed the experience of their life, not just their performance at work.
For Women in Corporate Whose Life Has Started to Feel Like a Strain, and Who Want to Enjoy It Again.

Cognitive recalibration. So you can see the patterns quietly making work, relationships and life feel like a strain, and change them
Strategic capacity design. So your days are restructured to leave something for the work, the people and the parts of yourself that actually matter to you
What's included:
12 × 60-minute weekly 1:1 coaching sessions. Tailored to what is actually happening for you each week
90-Day Mi-Goals Reset Journal. Your daily tool for planning, reflection and nervous system practices, so the work stays present between sessions

Not sure if this is right for you?
The first step is a free initial consultation, a genuine conversation about what's happening across your work, relationships and life, and what it could feel like to actually enjoy it again.

What my clients say
-
My experience with Claire was also my first with a professional coach. Like many other working mums juggling a hectic life and feelings of overwhelm, I signed up to do something for myself, to actively seek more joy in my life rather than just ‘getting by.’ It’s been a very positive experience for me. Claire’s approach is practical and actionable, she has a beautiful energy and I’ve gained more than I ever anticipated. I would highly recommend Claire’s coaching program.
Ingrid N, General Manager Marketing & Communications.

Claire has a great no nonsense way about her. Her background in corporate was so valuable, as felt she properly understood what it is like working in corporate. She is the perfect combination of an experienced business coach who also understands the reasons why we do what we do and how to reveal how these things hold us back. I am so glad I took this first step, as it fast tracked my results.
Jane A, Head of Finance

I can’t recommend Claire enough! Working with her has genuinely been one of the most valuable experiences for my personal growth. She’s helped me develop so many important skills, shift my mindset, and build a level of confidence in myself that I didn’t have before. What really stands out is how much Claire really cares. She consistently checks in, offers support beyond just our sessions, and creates a really safe space. Claire has been the best mentor and I couldn’t recommend her more highly!!

This is for you if:
Life feels like a strain across work, relationships and health, and you can't remember the last time it didn't
You can hold it together at work, but what it costs you shows up everywhere else
Your relationships are suffering, not because you don't care, but because there is nothing left by the time you get there
Your health and anything that is just for you has fallen completely off the list
You have tried fixing things on the outside, routines, productivity, boundaries, and they help temporarily but nothing really changes
You want to understand what is actually driving this, not just cope with it better
You want to enjoy your life again, not just get through it
This is not for you if:
You are looking for a strategy list or a quick fix
You are not willing to look honestly at your own patterns
You want someone to tell you what to do rather than help you develop the capacity to know for yourself
If you are unsure, the consultation is the place to find out.
Most women come into this work believing their circumstances need to change for them to feel better.
What they discover instead is that changing how they operate changes everything.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
This is one of the most common things women say before starting, and often one of the clearest signals that something needs to change. Sessions are 60 minutes per week. The practices are built into your existing days, not added on top. The question isn't whether you have time. It's whether you can afford to keep operating the way you currently are.
-
Things don't calm down. The capacity to handle the pace comes from inside, not from the circumstances changing. Waiting for a quieter season is itself part of the pattern.
-
Most coaching works on one layer, mindset, or habits, or stress management. The Reset Method works on three simultaneously: the nervous system, the thinking patterns driving your experience, and the systems shaping your days. When only one layer is addressed, results are temporary. When all three shift together, the change holds.
-
It is. And the cost of continuing as you are, in energy, relationships, health and quality of life, is also significant, even if it's harder to see. Most women who do this work describe it as the best investment they've made. The question worth sitting with: what is staying the same costing you?
-
This program isn't for women who have hit a wall. It's for women who are still delivering, but can feel the trajectory isn't sustainable. The earlier the pattern is addressed, the less it costs to change. If you're reading this page and something is resonating, that's worth paying attention to.
-
Collaborative, honest, and straightforward. I’m here to guide the process, bring ideas to the table, and keep things moving.
