How it works
Let’s talk nuts and bolts
It’s not like you haven’t tried really damn hard to create a flourishing life.
Maybe you’ve tackled the practical side of things with productivity apps, time management gurus or an endless stream of journalling experiments.
Maybe you’ve tried coaching or therapy, via thought work, affirmations, EFT or NLP, conscious creation.
Maybe you’ve tried medications or supplements (or booze) to tackle energy loss and stress.
Maybe you’ve also explored ‘woo’ solutions like meditation, prayer, Law of Attraction or magic spells from the internet.
Or you might simply have kept pushing through, and hoping for things to change, again and again and again.
No doubt some of these will have provided temporary relief, or solved one issue among many.
But you’re not feeling the ‘flourishing’ yet, and probably - if we’re honest - you’re feeling pretty pissed off with either yourself or the things you’ve tried (or both).
And maybe you’re even disheartened enough to think about giving up on flourishing altogether. Please don’t do that.
Here’s why so many of those solutions have not been able to create permanent change for you.
It’s because the underlying barriers to flourishing are not, and never were, a you-problem.
You are not broken, and you do not have a character flaw that needs fixing.
Almost everything that’s stood in the way has been the result of the toxic systems in which we all grew up: unfettered capitalism, colonialism, and the patriarchy.
Those things live in the world around us AND they live inside your head (and mine), causing havoc and literally blocking your expansion and your access to whatever flourishing means to you.
This doesn’t make you a helpless victim, even though it might feel that way (goddess knows the system would LOVE for you to believe that, so don’t go falling for this particular myth!)
Rather, knowing this is the doorway to solving the right problem at last - disrupting and dismantling the toxic tangles left behind by those systems, once and for all.
Knowing this begins to give you the power to liberate yourself, and then create that flourishing life you’ve been dreaming about.
The underlying principles of this work:
We all grew up in multiple fucked-up systems of oppression, and those systems installed a bunch of toxic BS in our heads, which stand between us and our dream lives
You didn’t create the mess; that shit is not your fault, and not a character flaw, but - enraging as it might be - it is now your job to clean it up. Because once you do, doors of possibility open up, where once were merely walls.
Human brains are exquisitely designed for change when you know what you’re changing, you have effective neuroscience-based tools, and you can approach the process with radical levels of compassion and kindness turned inwards - these are the keys to conscious creation and the liberation of your own true Self.
The brain changes happen much faster and more easily, when you add a little magic and recruit some planetary allies to assist.
The dance of change
There are three core keys to creating change, and each person’s experience with these three ingredients will be a little different.
Think of it like a dance, a wandering, an exploration through terra incognita - rather than a march on hard roads to a set destination.
Because the dancing and the wandering and the exploring actually moves you along the road faster than the in-step march we’ve all grown up with.
The three key ingredients are:
Animal-body safety. You need to accommodate the current state of your animal body - is your nervous system fried, jangled, overwhelmed? In this space, we will help your animal body feel safer, so she can support the dance of change you’ll be undertaking. The focus of this foundational piece will be comfort and consolation - think sensory delight rather than hitting the gym. You're going to enjoy this piece - and so is she.
Replenishment. Change takes energy - including both change imposed upon you, and change you are choosing on purpose. If your tanks are already low, change can feel impossible, because you’re already tapped out just from basic functioning. Our focus here will be twofold: we’ll boost your energy intake, and reduce energy leaks, so you end up with more energy to play with. This piece is going to be easier and more delightful than you might think, and we’ll go at a pace you can handle.
Trust. Embracing your own personal power means trusting yourself - trusting yourself to know what you want, to take aligned action, and to be open to receiving the good stuff. We’ll explode and dissolve the unconscious programming which has hampered self-trust in the past. And we’ll build the foundations for increased and skillful self-trust, so you become the version of you who is good at knowing what she wants, taking aligned action, and receiving her good.
These three keys work hand in hand, in a beautiful synergistic dance - not a rigid step by step linear process.
Applying only one or two is never going to be as effective as applying all three together.
It’s the best combination for facilitating change at a pace your nervous system can tolerate, which in turn means you’ll get swifter results than you might currently think possible.
Through all of it, there will be ample space for you to embrace your full, messy, authentic humanity. We know that you are capable of exquisitely kind compassion for others, so we’ll bring that to this journey and point it at YOU, too.
There will be radically high levels of compassion and curiosity AND ALSO, as much laughter and joy as we can muster.
After all, liberating yourself and unleashing your own power is about the most joyful thing you can do - and that, my friend, is the foundational basis for flourishing.
(And this also explains why nobody else can define what ‘flourishing’ means for you)

Retired teacher and school psychologist
“From the very first session Janette offered solutions and tools which made sense, and I could put into operation immediately. They were extremely helpful and rewired my brain as I had no happy thoughts at all. She showed me how to have more space and peace in my life.
I emerged slowly with her help from a very discouraged person to one of renewed confidence and the ability to use what she taught in a constructive manner.
I tried therapy with a counselor before and that left me more distraught than when I began therapy. I needed a female life coach who could make me feel better with the first session.
If you are timid, I suggest you give Janette a try. She immediately connects with you in a warm and engaging manner and is very well versed in her ability to get to the root of the problem and suggest strategies. She has a wealth of strategies and the science to back them. After working with Janette for three months weekly, I went from deep despair to a woman of joy and peace with a wealth of strategies to practice whenever needed. I am becoming the wise woman crone I so desire to be. With gratitude to Janette!”
Here are some of the results my clients have created
she won an election against the odds, and went on to help draft legislation that makes a difference for the vulnerable
she purchased a property to be home to the artists’ retreat centre she’d been dreaming of for 14 long years
she wrote the PhD dissertation that had been stuck for 8 years, while ‘magically’ acquiring a far better academic supervisor
she completed her masters and built a thriving business as an art therapist, despite the kinds of adversities that would deter most people
she is growing her unique wellness business via a truly accessible resource, and is now revolutionising health options for all
she launched a brand new business and reached ‘delightfully booked out’ status within three months
If this makes sense to you, and if it sounds like something you’d love to explore more …
… please help yourself to my free resource designed to dismantle and dissolve that old devil Impostor Syndrome.
The solution I provide here uses a powerful brain science technique and leans on the beautiful support of planetary ally Saturn, sometimes known as the ‘curator of our life mission’.
I think you’re gonna love it!
