About Mel - The Quiet Return
“I’ve spent decades helping others hold it all together. Eventually, I realised I’d forgotten how to hold myself.”
This page isn’t a resume. It’s a reckoning.
Not of qualifications — though I have them.
Not of roles — though I’ve played many.
But of what it means to return to yourself after years of over-functioning, people-pleasing, and playing the useful one.
Who I am now
I help people reclaim their clarity, energy, and boundaries — not by adding more, but by helping them hear themselves again.
My work meets you in the moments you’re about to break or about to disappear. It doesn’t fix. It reveals. It returns.
If you’ve been the one keeping it all together, holding the line, staying quiet — I see you. That was me too.
What I offer now is space, structure, and a mirror. Tools like Clarity Nudge™, rituals like Pre‑Decision, and systems like Franki are born from what I needed — and what I now know others do too.
The Path Behind Me
20+ years in organisational change and team leadership
I’ve been the fixer, the facilitator, the one they call when no one else can hold it
Academic, corporate, intuitive, boundary-tester, system challenger
All of it led me here
What I Believe
Clarity is sacred.
Boundaries are love made visible.
You are not broken. You are just full.
Slower is sometimes braver.
The way you do the work matters as much as the work itself.
How You Can Work With Me.
