I was the woman on site. Now I coach her.
For women in tech, engineering and construction who are tired of proving they belong.
I’m so glad you found your way here.
If you’re a woman working in construction, engineering, tech or the trades, there’s a good chance you’ve spent years being excellent at your job while quietly carrying something heavy. The feeling of working twice as hard to be taken half as seriously, and going home with nothing left over for yourself.
Maybe you’ve been strong for so long that you’ve forgotten what it feels like not to be.
I want you to know something before you read any further: you’re not imagining it, you’re not too sensitive, and you’re not broken. This is real — and you don’t have to carry it alone anymore.
I’m not guessing. I was there.
I became a licensed electrician at twenty, and spent more than a decade in construction and building automation engineering — on the tools, in the site shed, in meeting rooms where I was almost always the only woman.
I loved the work. I was good at it. And it cost me more than I understood at the time.
Finding my way back to myself took years — through studying psychology and neuroscience, through becoming a mother, through discovering art, and finally through the structured inner work that I now share with my clients. When I say I understand what you’re going through, it isn’t something I read about. It’s something I lived.
What we do together
This isn’t about fixing you, because you were never broken. And it isn’t about toughening up — you’ve done enough of that for one lifetime.
Let it move through you
Simple tools for processing the hard days as they happen — real relief when you need it, not just in a session.
Its not you
You are not alone, and you are not making it up — learn where your growing edges are without the noise.
Put it down
Untangle what you feel from who you are — we are designed to feel, learn when to act and how to let go
Drawing on neuroscience, creativity and the Heartwork Journaling™ method.

Hi, I’m Carolyn.
I spent twelve years in construction and building automation before I retrained as a coach. These days I live in Melbourne, coach women all over the world online, and usually have paint on my hands. Here’s the whole story…
Work with me
I’m taking on a small founding group of women from construction, trades, engineering and tech. As a founding client you get the full coaching program at a reduced rate while I refine it — your feedback shapes what this becomes, and your pricing reflects that.
It starts with a free, no-pressure chat.
I offer a free Before & After Session to every woman who reaches out. We look at where you are right now, and what’s actually getting in the way of the life and career you want. You’ll leave with real clarity and direction, whether you choose to work with me further or not.
