MEET THE FOUNDER

Hi, I’m Julia!

After 20+ years in the marketing industry, I hit a turning point in my early 40s. On the surface, my career looked successful, but deep down I felt disconnected. I realised my career hadn’t been designed.

It had just… happened.


That realisation changed everything. In 2017, after working through my own intentional and considered career transformation, I retrained in career development and set out to support women like me - women with experience and talent who are ready to start the next chapter of their career pathway.

COMING SOON:

Career Reset for mid-career women

My signature group training programme will be launching soon. If you're a mid-career woman who wants to make changes in her career, you won't want to miss this!

KIND WORDS FROM

Fabulous Clients!

From students just starting out, and parents wanting to guide their teens, to adults ready for a career reset - I’ve had the privilege of helping people at every stage of their career journey. Each one is looking for the same thing: clarity, direction, and the next steps that feels right for them.

A career path that fits

"Julia helped me reconnect with what I truly want from my work. I left our sessions with clarity, a clear direction, and a new sense of purpose."

- Stephanie

The right support

"Our son had no idea what he wanted to do after school, and we were all stressed about it. Julia gave him a plan peace of mind."

- Amy

Next steps sorted

"The process was thoughtful and practical. Our daughter now feels motivated, focused, and excited about her next steps... she's much happier."

- Steve
