You’re a smart, creative woman, with a big heart for doing important work in the world. 

But you’ve lost the joy and inspiration that used to fuel you, and right now you’re not sure if you want to reignite the old passions, or explore a whole new gig. Or even if you can.

Your results might look great on the outside, but on the inside it feels dry and dusty, as you zombie-shuffle to work each day like an escapee from The Walking Dead. Or maybe your dream mission hasn’t even got off the ground yet, and lives un-expressed within you.

Perhaps you’re feeling numb, or perhaps every nerve end is a-jangle, or perhaps it’s like your work is a planet-sized burden on your shoulders.

Burnout feels like it might be just around the corner, and you flinch at every incoming message notification because OMG what do they want from me NOW??.

And some days you even feel shame because you’re smart as a fox and you ‘should be able to fix this’.

Rekindle Coaching

Individual one-to-one support for when you’re ready to rekindle the romance with your work, and make your professional life sustainable, ease-filled, beautiful and joyous.

Who this is for.

Choosing a coach is really hard, because the industry is full of people making all kinds of promises, so it’s easy to get into a thought spiral of ‘but can I even change?’ or ‘am I the only uncoachable human on the planet?’ or ‘what if she hates me?’.  (Truly, I get it because I’ve been there!).

So for clarity, this is for you if:

  • you identify as a woman or non-binary person

  • you know you have an important purpose in life, but you’ve either lost touch with it, or you feel like your purpose has changed but you’re not sure how to know what to do next, or your purpose feels like it’s at risk of dying unborn

  • it feels like you ought to know your purpose by now, but each time you think you have it nailed, it slips out of your hands and you’re beset by self-doubt, again

  • you’ve invested a ton of time and money and energy, so it feels really hard to explore the possibility of changing anything

  • you have a habit of dragging yourself forward using brute force, willpower and self-shaming, even though intellectually you know the value of patience, rest and kindness turned inwards

  • you know you came here to change the world, but feel torn between making a profit and making a difference

  • you are open to the possibility that both science and spirit are real

This is not for you if:

  • you’re a man - please know that I love and respect you guys, but my work isn’t going to light you up in the way that it does for the women-oriented or non-binary folks - and of course I have loads of people to whom I can refer you

  • you don’t believe in both science and magic. I don’t mean you have to have 100% complete faith 24/7, and you certainly don’t have to be any kind of ‘expert’. I simply mean you don’t believe AT ALL, and you’re not curious to find out. If this is you, my approach is going to be really frustrating - and I’d be happy to refer you to some colleagues whose approach might suit better.

  • you aren’t quite ready for the kind of focus you expect from a 1:1 coaching experience, and group work is going to be more your style. I get that! Do please sign up to my email list, so you get notified when I’m next running a group program, as that might be a good starting place.

  • you’re completely out of spoons, with zero spare energy to devote to the work ahead. That’s very understandable. Please drop me a note and I’ll happily send you some resources to help replenish your tanks sufficiently so that you can contemplate making a start.

You are not broken, none of this is your fault, and you do not have a character flaw that needs fixing. 

Almost everything you’ve experienced has been created in your brain, as a healthy and reasonable response to the UN-healthy and UN-reasonable systems in which we all grew up: toxic capitalism, colonialism, and the patriarchy.

This doesn’t make you a helpless victim. It gives you back the power to disrupt and dismantle the toxic BS installed in your head by those systems.

Human brains are exquisitely designed for change, when you have the right tools pointed in the right direction.

And change is far easier, when you recruit the power of a little planetary magic.

I’m Janette Dalgliesh

Ever since I was the union rep on a TV production in 1995 and went into battle for the child actors to get their proper lunch breaks, liberating people from toxic BS systems has been my jam.  

I did it for nearly a decade, as a union organiser for actors and, later, for academics. 

Since 2011, I’ve done it with many hundreds of coaching clients. 

My two coaching qualifications included three core years of training inside a very diverse student body, as well as various adjunct training in positive psychiatry, psychological first aid , trauma, identity shifting, emotional intelligence, chaos magic and diversity, equity & inclusivity. 

I've been a student of astrology for years, taking an anti-oppression and Jungian lens to this powerful symbolic language, and helping people connect to the planetary allies that are most appropriate to their goals and desires.

And with 20 years as a professional performer, a decade in progressive politics and union work, and growing up the daughter of a country doctor - it’s easy for me to work with clients from all walks of life.

What will be covered

The journey of change from where you’re at now, to where you want to go, is an dance through fields of infinite possibility, not a forced march along hard roads to a set destination. We won’t apply a rigid ‘one-size-fits-all’ formula or protocol, because we don’t merely need to accommodate the uniqueness of you - we need to celebrate it, and craft the journey accordingly. 

Given my years of experience, I can meet you where you’re at with what you need, in any given moment.  Sometimes it will be energy-replenishment or soothing for your animal body; sometimes it will be a practical AF strategy to get things moving in the right direction for your relationship with your work; and sometimes it will be a deep magical dive to unlock subtle unconscious patterns you had no idea were even at play.

If you think of me as a couples counsellor for you and your career, you won’t be too far off the mark!

There are some key ingredients you might expect to encounter.

  • Compassion: the most effective backdrop for change and growth, and a potent antidote to the mean voices and brain weasels in your head

  • Animal-body safety: comfort and consolation for your nervous system, no matter how fried, jangled or overwhelmed she is or how busy you are

  • Energy management: we’ll boost your energy intake, and reduce energy leaks, so you end up with more energy to play with, making change easier

  • Identity shifting: taking doable, sustainable steps towards inhabiting the version of yourself who is already living a satisfying, ease-filled life, no matter where you’re starting out

  • Planetary magic: the various astrological players are like VPs with areas of special interest - Mercury for commerce, Saturn for getting shit done, Jupiter for vision and Uranus for smashing through old crap - and you can recruit their aid to make the work easier

These ingredients work hand in hand, in a beautiful synergistic dance - not a step by step linear process.

Finding the right mix for you creates the best combination for the dance of change to happen at a pace your nervous system can tolerate, which in turn means you’ll get swifter results than you might currently think possible.

“Janette is intuitive in mysterious ways. She is a magic maker. She is powerfully compassionate and a fierce advocate for her clients. Janette is generous, present, and in my personal experience, almost always five steps ahead of me when I feel stuck or lost. Janette can see through the fog better than almost anyone I know.

The Nuts and Bolts

Every coaching journey is a little different, and I don’t use a ‘standardised’ protocol. But there are some key details you’ll want to know about.

There are three different containers to choose from. Each one gives you a combination of Zoom sessions and asynchronous coaching.

When we meet via Zoom, camera is optional, and calls are recorded for you to refer back to if you choose. It’s very relaxed, and there is always the option to reschedule sessions if necessary (within reason).

Between sessions, you can ask questions, seek clarification or get support via messaging me via Signal, WhatsApp, Slack or email, and I undertake to respond within 48 hours (usually much sooner!)

I am your coach, your cheerleader, your ally, your safe space, your confidante and your partner-in-liberation, for the whole period of your coaching package.

Prior to your first session with me, you’ll have the opportunity to do a profoundly compassionate and useful process of self-enquiry (not mandatory, but HIGHLY recommended as it helps us hit the ground running).

If I recommend any of my own tools which would normally incur a cost, that will be included in the price.

If I recommend tools created by someone else, those will either be free or very low cost (eg a book).

Your astrological chart is an incredibly useful tool we can use, and this part is optional if it doesn’t light you up.

A note about the cost

I use ‘Pay from the heart’ pricing, as taught by the brilliant Mark Silver from Heart of Business. If you’re curious about the concept, you can register with Mark to receive a free webinar on the topic - but please make sure you come back here after you click his link!

I’ve never really wanted the giant scaled-up business empire with a team of coaches, a slick YouTube channel and a bathtub overlooking the Eiffel Tower.

But my work does need for me to make a reasonable living, which is why I do it as a business and not as a non-profit or a hobby.

And the stark reality for all of us is that we live in a world where people’s access to resources is wildly variable, in ways that have nothing to do with their innate brilliance or their gifts or their knowledge; and everything to do with the systems in which we were all raised.

For each of my three coaching packages, there are three prices to choose from.

Here’s how to make your decision:

  1. first, ask your heart ‘is this the thing I need or want right now?’- and listen for a powerful yes or a powerful no

  2. next, ask your heart ‘which is the right fit for my needs right now? - and listen for the nudge towards one of the three options

  3. finally, ask your heart which of the three prices is most appropriate for you to pay (the $$ details are shown for each one below)

Standard: the ‘break even’ price, which enables me to keep the business going, and to put food on my table and a roof over my head

Growth: a generous amount designed for those who have more access to wealth and resources, who relish the opportunity to help subsidise those with less, and who want to support the growth of my business so I can, in turn, help more people

Access: an accessible price for those who are in a situation where paying more would put their own food and shelter at risk.

Regardless of which price you pick, you will get the exact same service - no ‘punishment’ for needing to use the Access pricing; and no FOMO-inducing ‘VIP extras’ for choosing the Growth option (though of course, you will get lashings of gratitude, if that’s your pick ❤️)

My own four planets in Libra absolutely RELISH a situation where those who have much, are ready to kick in a little extra to support those who have less.

It feels truly beautiful to be able to offer this here.

I don’t use traditional equity pricing, where prices are set based on someone’s membership of a historically marginalised community - it’s not a terrible model, but I prefer to make space for the reality that there are many individuals from those communities who have found a way to break free of old generational constraints; and there are many in traditionally privileged groups whose personal circumstances may be difficult.

Pay from the heart means I trust you to choose the price that is most appropriate to your own situation, the price that your own heart quietly whispers in your ear.

I can’t thank you enough for all the sharing, supporting, and coaching. I can see where an outside perspective can cut to the core of things that have been churning around in my brain. Besides, it’s almost uncanny how many of the things I’m dealing with seem to mirror your own path, so there’s the benefit of talking to somebody who “gets it” and has found ways to make enduring shifts.

More Raves

  • Lisa Hayes, Relationship Coach

    Janette is a master at both creating a space to heal and grow AND holding that space without judgement in what feels like an infinite absence of rush. Janette's work feels like the calm, the storm, and the rebirth after the storm. All of those things can live in any one session with her.

  • Jodi Cleghorn, Word Witch

    Every recovering over-achiever needs a Janette.

    Janette's voice is my temporary voice of reason as I negotiate my way off the roundabout of over-commitment and burn-out to find a calmer, more stable place where I value myself and my time enough to make decisions which are sensible and take into consideration what one woman alone can achieve and stay physically, emotionally and psychologically healthy and engaged.

  • Fi Joy, Art

    While I appreciated your knowledge astrologically ... what I really got and am still grateful for was a wonderful coach and fellow trailblazer who held space beautifully, while holding a mirror up so I could explore all the places and opportunities that I could grow from.

  • Jacqueline Gates, Leading Lady Coach

    Here’s the thing about working with Janette, the successes kind of sneak up on you. You become that person you dream of being … ie the one who doesn’t have that crappy vibe … so subtly that only hindsight makes the transformation visible.

    Case in point – This goddess worked with Janette in July to get rid of a chronic feeling of my-stuff’s-not-good-enough-to-launch-a-program. By August, I’d launched and delivered (with huge success, I might add) my inaugural Three Goddess Program. But I didn’t put two and two together until later!

    Because, instead of being a doubt-ridden-and-fearful entrepreneur, I had become a goddess-leader-who-launches, and this new BEingness was so natural, so TRUE, that I never even noticed the shift.

    Dear reader, if, when you think of what you’d most love to do/be/have, you have a voice in your head that says ‘NO’ … then you have a vibe that’s keeping you small, unsuccessful and unfulfilled. And Janette can help you with that faster, and easier, than anyone else I know.

  • Katie F, Doctoral Candidate

    I felt an overwhelming paralysis when faced with writing up my doctoral study over quite some time. Janette worked with me to change the narrative. I have moved from feeling physically sick when I looked at a blank page to completely blown away by a new reality in a few short weeks of personal coaching. Not only did Janette help free me from the ‘bindweed’ of the enormous task at hand but I was able to transform a judgemental, negative vibration into a successful process to move forward. As the original narrative was unlocked, so were other negative narratives that were holding me back. I have moved from a life of “I should” to “I could” practicing new ways of looking at the world. I have been able to unlock the negative vibrations in other parts of my life and continue to use the strategies that Janette has taught me to be excited and empowered every day. Thank you Janette for enveloping me in the possibilities of a new reality!

  • Charlotte Remakus, Retired Psychologist

    When I first began working with Janette, I felt I was in a black hole with no recourse. I was having serious relationship issues. From the very first session she focused on the problem, and offered solutions and tools which made sense, and I could put into operation immediately.

    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!

FAQs

  • It's very different from all the other self-help stuff out there, because it takes into account how the system is rigged. Research shows that little girls are trained from a very early age to ignore their own needs while noticing and prioritising the needs of others, where little boys are taught to notice their own needs and figure out how to have them met. Little girls also learn early that seeking to express themselves fully is inappropriate, shameful or dangerous. Most self help books and productivity programs approach these issues as if they are a personal flaw that needs fixing. My approach works because I directly address the systemic BS that got planted in your head, freeing you from any of the self-blame or shame which is such an issue for many women

  • My two coaching qualifications included three core years of training all up, plus various adjunct training in positive psychiatry, psychological first aid, trauma, identity shifting, emotional intelligence, astrology, chaos magic and diversity, equity and inclusivity. I'm a life coach, not a therapist or a doctor, so I will not diagnose; and I will not prescribe or recommend things for you to take (such as supplements, herbs or drugs). For more details, please visit https://www.janettedalgliesh.com/what-coaching-is

  • I do, but it might not look the way you’re used to! My approach to accountability is based on making it as fun as possible, so you’re far more likely to snortgiggle when you see a note from me, rather than feeling weighed down. I don’t do bullying or nagging, though I do know those things can work for SOME people. If being pushed hard to the point of bullying is what truly inspires you and helps you thrive, I may not be your girl (because I don’t believe that kind of pressure is helpful).
