Hi, I'm Mel.
Who we are
I'm obsessed with one question: why do brilliant, capable women still doubt themselves?
For years, I believed success was something you built entirely on the outside: a good career, a happy family, a beautiful home, financial security, and a life that looked exactly as I'd planned.
Before I was 30, I'd advised the Welsh Government on legislation, lectured at university, and was raising 2 incredible children while renovating an old Victorian house, and had a long term relationship. On paper, I'd achieved everything I'd set out to achieve.
Then, almost overnight, everything changed. Following the breakdown of my relationship, the children and I were moved for our own safety by the police. The “successful life” I'd worked so hard to build had disappeared, and with it, I believed I'd lost the successful part of me too.
I'd always believed my successful life was what made me feel like me - full of confidence, energy, optimism and joy. It turned out to be the other way round entirely.
Why we should work together:
Clarity
Success means something different to every woman. Together, we'll define what intentional ambition and success looks like for you, so you're building a business and life that feel genuinely aligned.
Break Through Your Subconscious Ceiling
You already know more than enough to succeed. We identify and shift the subconscious patterns that keep holding you back and keeping you stuck, so you finally act on what you already know.
Success You Can Sustain
Success shouldn't come at the expense of your life. By combining subconscious shifts with consistent action, you'll create success that feels safe and supports the life you actually want to live.
Why I Care
Trying hypnotherapy changed everything for me.
It helped me understand that my external circumstances had never been what created my internal world; my subconscious beliefs had been creating the life I'd built all along.
When those beliefs changed, I stopped trying to rebuild the life I lost and got clear on what I really wanted, without giving other people’s judgement a care. To this day, my facebook bio is still ‘Your Opinion of Me, Is None of My Business’!
Now, I'm a Clinical Hypnotherapist and NLP Practitioner, following 25 years in Health and Social Care, from front line support to scaling teams and businesses.
I'm happily married, living in the beautiful Cheshire countryside, spending time with Olivia the Office Manager every day, and watching my now grown-up children build lives they love. And doing that while building a business that supports the life I want to live.
That looks very different to how I was taught success looks, and that's exactly the point.
Success has become less about ticking boxes and more about building a life that genuinely feels like mine.
Because I am ambitious - intentionally ambitious. To help others, to earn a good income, to have no boss to answer to, to spend hours each day spoiling Olivia, to travel, to spend time with people I love….
And channeling that ambition into MY version of success, means my life IS successful to me.
Success was never meant to be something you just felt in an office, sacrificing all your free time.
Success was meant to be smiling at the end of the day, that your dreams and goals are a reality.
So, come smile with me!
Working together we can:
Get clarity on your version of success to build the life you actually want to live
Understand your subconscious safety style, so action finally feels natural
Break through the subconscious ceiling that's keeping you stuck
Discover how to work with intentional ambition, so energy is spent on things that matter most to you
And most of all…… build and scale your business to support the life you actually want to live.
