Hello, you!
A Career of Connection & Creativity
With over 30 years as a professional hair and makeup artist, I worked behind the scenes on advertising campaigns, style shoots, and runways, but my greatest passions lay in working with brides and teaching. I thrived in the beauty industry, building two successful businesses and mentoring countless women to step into their own confidence.
Yet, even with a career I loved, life had other plans.
I’m Sharon, and my journey through the ‘messy middle’ of midlife brought me to where I am today, helping women like you rediscover clarity, confidence, and purpose in this transformative season of life.
Navigating the ‘Midlife Wobble’
My first ‘wobble’ hit during the COVID-19 lockdown. Weddings stopped, businesses closed, and for the first time, I was out of work.
Suddenly, I realised how deeply my identity and self-worth were tied to my job.
Without my work, I found myself asking:
Who am I without my career?
What am I beyond my roles and responsibilities?
Who was I? … What was I?
At the same time, I noticed a troubling trend among the remarkable women around me. These once-bright, bold, and ambitious women were saying things like:
“I feel irrelevant.”
“It’s too late to learn something new.”
“I just don’t have the energy to compete anymore.”
It hit me hard because, despite all my achievements, I felt the same.
What else would I do! ;)
When my own midlife wobble met coaching … it all clicked.
In 2022, I began a two-year ICF-accredited life coaching course to support the mentoring I offered in my hair academy.
Little did I know, the tools I was learning would change my life.
Coaching became my bridge from burnout to purpose.
As I applied these tools to myself and my clients, I rediscovered my passion, not just for guiding women but for helping them navigate the challenges of midlife with confidence and clarity.
Why I’m here for you
I’ve spent years up close with women, listening to their stories, their doubts, and the ridiculous standards they hold themselves to. In a space where the conversations go way beyond hair and makeup.
I’ve learned how to truly listen, gently challenge, and support women through big changes. Coaching gave me the tools to do that with even more clarity.
I bring a mix of lived experience, professional training, and the kind of “you’re not crazy” (well maybe a little bit) empathy that only midlife (and menopause) can teach.
