For Women Who Are Done Shrinking Themselves
You're capable. You're accomplished. So why do you still feel like you're apologising for taking up space?
Whether you're navigating workplace politics in a senior role, building your own business, or just trying to figure out what comes next, you're tired of playing small. You know there's more to you than what you're currently showing the world.
I help women stop trading their confidence for compliance.
Hello, I'm Maureen
Through my own experiences of adapting to new cultures, raising a family, and navigating life's unexpected turns, I've learned that major transitions aren't about becoming someone new—they're about figuring out how to be yourself in new circumstances.
Whether you're dealing with workplace challenges, building something of your own, navigating family changes, or just trying to figure out what comes next, I'm here to have real conversations about what's actually possible from where you are right now.
I work specifically with women who are tired of shrinking themselves. You don't need to transform into someone else—you need to own who you already are and claim the space you deserve.
Why work with me?
I won't sell you transformation promises or tell you to "unlock your potential." Instead, I'll help you see where you're giving away your power unnecessarily and support you in taking up more space—whether that's in your career, your relationships, or simply in your own mind.
My journey from a village in Papua New Guinea to coaching women across the Pacific has taught me that real change happens when we stop trying to become perfect and start working with who we actually are. Let me help you navigate your reality with more confidence and less apology.
THIS ISN'T ABOUT "FINDING YOURSELF"
You don't need to discover who you're "meant to be." You need to own who you already are - with all your experience, your constraints, your real-life circumstances.
I work with women who are dealing with:
- Workplace challenges where you doubt your voice matters
- The exhaustion of constantly second-guessing yourself
- Feeling stuck between what you want and what feels realistic
- That nagging sense that you're capable of more but don't know how to claim it
- The aftermath of major life changes (divorce, career shifts, family transitions) you need to build a strong and healthy relationship.
What we work on together:
- How to advocate for yourself without feeling like you're being "difficult"
- Setting boundaries that actually stick
- Making decisions from your own judgment instead of constantly seeking approval
- Navigating workplace dynamics when you're tired of being overlooked
- Building something of your own (business, project, new direction) despite the fear
If self-development is one of your values, you should be the embodiment of it. Your values must be congruent with your goals.

How I Actually Work
I don't do cookie-cutter programs or transformation promises. Every woman's situation is different, and we work with your reality - not some idealised version of what your life "should" look like.
Sometimes coaching happens in unexpected places.
On a recent flight, I spent two hours with a professional athlete who was completely lost after a career transition. By the time we landed, he had clarity about his next steps. That's how real change happens - through genuine conversation, not scripted sessions.
With my clients, we focus on what you can actually control:
Your responses, your boundaries, your decisions. We can't change your workplace culture overnight, but we can change how you show up in it.
What Really Happens
"I stopped apologizing for taking up space in meetings. I realized my ideas were just as valid as anyone else's." - Sarah, Corporate Manager
"I finally started the consulting business I'd been talking about for three years. Turns out the only thing stopping me was my own permission." - Lisa, Former Banking Executive
"I set boundaries with my family for the first time. It was uncomfortable at first, but now I have time for myself again." - Maria, Small Business Owner
The women I work with don't become different people.
They become more of who they already are - with less apology and more ownership.

You don't need to have it all figured out. You just need to be ready to take up the space you deserve.
No transformation promises. No life-changing revelations. Just real conversation about real change.
