When something needs to shift
Work With Me
Something needs to change. You may know exactly what it is, or you may simply know that the way things are now isn’t working anymore.
We start where you are, with what’s happening now, what matters, and what you want to do next.
There are a few different ways we can work together, depending on what you need.

1:1 Coaching
When the old answers aren’t working anymore.
.
Maybe part of you knows what you want, while another part has a very convincing list of reasons not to do it.
Maybe you keep coming back to the same question.
Maybe what used to motivate you doesn’t anymore, and you can’t quite work out what that means yet.
Or maybe, from the outside, everything looks fine. But inside, something is asking for your attention.
This is a space to slow things down enough to hear yourself properly.
We might look at the stories you’ve been living by, the parts of you pulling in different directions, what your body is telling you, or the wider system you’re caught up in.
And we keep bringing it back to your life.
What matters now?
What are you ready to stop carrying?
What do you want to choose?
What needs to happen next?
The work can be deep. It can also be very practical.
Usually, it’s both.
Catalyst Session
When you’re too close to something to see a way through.
You’ve gone over it again and again.
One part of you thinks one thing. Another part pulls you somewhere else. You make a decision, then doubt it. Or you keep having the same conversation and somehow end up back in the same place.
It’s tiring being inside something you can’t quite get hold of.
In a Catalyst Session, we bring the whole situation out into the room.
Using objects, we map the people, pressures, relationships and other forces involved, so you can see and feel what’s actually happening rather than keep trying to solve it in your head.
Often, the moment it’s laid out, something shifts.
You can see where the tension really is. What you’ve been carrying that isn’t yours. What you’ve been avoiding. What matters most.
And suddenly there’s somewhere to go.
You leave feeling clearer, lighter, and more able to make the decision, have the conversation or take the step you’ve been stuck around.
Catalyst Sessions can be one-to-one or with a team.
In-Person Reset
One day in nature that shifts everything.
What we do:
- Reflective walking to slow the pace and settle the system
- Systemic mapping with objects to surface hidden dynamics
- Embodied, nature-based practices that are grounding and restorative
- A week of WhatsApp support to anchor the shift in daily life
Imagine this:
By mid-morning the fog begins to clear. We map the knot that has been draining you and find the thread that unravels it. You leave renewed, with a next step that feels true, not forced.
Team Coaching
Shift from firefighting to culture creation.
Your leadership team shapes everything, how decisions get made, how conflict is handled, how aligned the work feels. We create a shared space to see the system together and build the culture that can hold your strategy.
How we work:
- Who you are together: purpose, values, behaviours
- How you show up: communication, trust, accountability
- What you are here to create: strategy that flows from alignment
We use systemic mapping, the IDGs, and Conscious Business frameworks. What felt personal is revealed as systemic, and energy shifts from blame to possibility.
Imagine this:
Instead of another tense meeting, you map your context together. Agreements become clear. Trust increases. Momentum returns.
What people say…
"What makes Joa exceptional is her integrity, non-judgmental nature, and genuine curiosity. I felt safe to open up, explore my thoughts and emotions, and arrive at pragmatic outcomes without feeling forced. Joa listens deeply, asks the right questions, and creates a supportive yet challenging space for growth. Her coaching has been truly transformative."
Sandra Yii
“Joa is an adaptive, imaginative and intuitive coach. I felt very early on that Joa was responding to me as an individual, rather than trying to shoehorn me into a coaching model. She has a depth of wisdom, experience and self awareness. She is calm and non judgemental, brave and non-directive, whilst being willing to challenge.”
Charlotte Rooney
"Our senior leadership gained significant value from working with Joa and Carla during a time of transition. They helped us connect more deeply and have a clearer sense of our priorities as a team moving forward. They were expert facilitators, introducing a range of activities that helped us look afresh at old problems. I'd highly recommend working with them if you are a leadership team looking to carve out space for reflection and purposeful connection."
Anna Trethewey
“Coaching with Joa I was able to feel free, safe and explore my thoughts and emotions – and yet get to a pragmatic outcome.”
Phillipa Wilding
“I’ve struggled to get something out of coaching sessions I've had with other coaches, but Joa really helped me move through some of the current challenges I'm having and was able to be very flexible to my needs whilst keeping me on track and helping me to re-focus”
