Redesign
Steady, ongoing one-to-one support
As you figure out what life looks like now - and build something that actually works for who you are today.
Some changes resolve. Others just become the new reality - and you have to learn to live inside them.
Maybe you're still in the middle of it: the divorce isn't finalised, the diagnosis is ongoing, the caring responsibilities aren't going anywhere. Or maybe the dust has settled, but you look around and realise the life you've landed in doesn't quite fit yet.
Either way, you're not looking for a quick fix or a six-week reset. You want somewhere steady to land while you figure out what comes next - and someone in your corner who actually gets it.
That's what Redesign is.
Is this you?
This might be a good fit if…
You're in the middle of a major life change and need support while it's still happening.
The immediate crisis has passed, but you don't want to (or can’t) go back to how things were - you want a different way of living.
You're making decisions about work, relationships, responsibilities or priorities and want a thinking partner.
You're used to being the capable and independent one, but you're tired of carrying everything alone.
You look like you're coping. Privately, you're running on fumes.
You don't know who you are anymore - not just what's happened, but who you were becoming before this got in the way.
You keep waiting for things to calm down enough to actually deal with how you feel - and they never quite do.
You're holding down "normal" life - work, the school run, dinner - while managing something huge underneath it.
You don't have anywhere to put the truth - anyone who can hear it without needing you to manage their reaction to it.
You want coaching, breathwork, or a blend - depending on what you need at any given time.
You want ongoing support - not a one-off session, not a fixed programme - someone who'll walk with you for as long as your situation is unfolding, for as long as you need it.
(You don't have to have it figured out. You just have to be willing to show up.)
Right, but what actually IS Redesign?
You don't need to reinvent yourself. You don't need to wait until everything is resolved before you start building a life that supports you.
Think of it as getting your bearings in a city you didn't choose to move to. You didn't pick it, you don't know it yet - but slowly, you find the good coffee shop, the quiet street, the route that works for you. You find your people. It becomes somewhere you can actually live.
Redesign is ongoing, flexible support - part coaching, part breathwork, part thinking space - that moves with you as your life does.
During our time together
Most sessions unfold around whatever's most present for you that day - that's usually where the real work is. If you're not sure where to start, that's normal too - part of what I do is help you find the thread, not just follow one you've already spotted. Sometimes I'll suggest we focus on something specific, or bring in a particular tool, breathwork included - but it's always your choice. This is your life, your pace, your journey.
Here are some of the things we might work on together:
→ We'll get curious about what life could actually look like now - not just how to get through it, but what might light you up, how you want to spend your time and energy, who you're becoming next.
→ I'll guide you through an energy audit right at the start - sleep, food, movement, stress, what's filling your cup and what's draining it - so we're building on solid ground, not sand.
→ We'll bring in breathwork - a Breath Pattern Analysis to start, full sessions when (if) ever you want one, and shorter practices woven into our time together.
→ I'll help you see clearly where you actually are right now - including the parts you'd rather not look at directly.
→ We'll practise radical acceptance where it's needed - not resignation, just real honesty about what's true.
→ There'll be room to grieve the life you thought you'd have, not just adjust to the one you've got - that's different work, and it matters.
→ I'll show you the boundaries you're not holding, and the expectations - yours and everyone else's, seen and unseen - you've been quietly trying to meet.
→ We'll get moving on the decisions you've been avoiding - about work, relationships, whatever's actually at stake - and rebuild your trust in your own judgment along the way.
→ I'll call you out, kindly, when you're talking yourself out of something you already know.
→ And we'll work on the habits, boundaries, and sense of who you are that take you from where you've landed to where you're actually heading.
Each session ends with something to actually do - never busywork, just a real next step - because talking about change and living it are two different things. I'll be with you as you take them, and we'll adjust as we go.

Breathwork is the use of specific breathing techniques to influence how your body and mind feel. It sounds almost suspiciously simple - you've been breathing your whole life, after all - but it's one of the few things your body does automatically that you can also consciously control. That makes it a surprisingly direct route into your nervous system, helping shift you out of stress and into something calmer and clearer.
This isn't just a nice feeling - it's measurable. Research on slow, controlled breathing shows it can:
For your mind:
Calm the fight-or-flight response and lower cortisol
Sharpen focus and mental clarity
Steady your mood by calming the brain's threat response
Help you process and release emotion that's become stuck or stored in the body - not just talked about, but actually felt and moved through
For your body:
Lower blood pressure - both systolic and diastolic
Improve heart rate variability, linked to better long-term health
Strengthen your breathing efficiency over time
For your sleep:
Help you drop into deeper, easier sleep by activating your body's rest-and-digest response
It's increasingly used in clinical and therapeutic settings for exactly these reasons - this isn't just theory, it's backed by a growing body of research.

Within Redesign, breathwork isn't a separate add-on - it's woven into the support itself.
We start with a Breath Pattern Analysis - checking whether you're actually getting a full breath, and correcting any habits that are getting in the way, so your nervous system has the best possible foundation to work with.
From there, how we use breathwork flexes with what you actually need: some sessions might be full breathwork, if that's what will help most that month (we’ll decide together). More often, it shows up as a shorter practice within a coaching session - to help you settle in if your mind's racing, process something that's just come up, or sit with an insight before it slips away.
Along the way, I'll also teach you specific tools for specific situations - sleep, focus, whatever's most useful - so you've got things to reach for outside our sessions too.
What's included
Two one-to-one sessions per month (up to 90 minutes each)
Sessions can be coaching, breathwork, or a blend — we decide together based on what you need. We work with what's actually happening in your life: the decisions, the pressures, the possibilities, the things keeping you up at night.
Also included:
Email support between sessions
Laser coaching when you need a quick steer on something
Free access to all my workshop recordings - and any new workshops I run
All my tools and resources, as and when they're useful
Redesign is a minimum three-month commitment - meaningful change takes time, especially when life is already demanding. After the initial three months, you're welcome to continue for as long as it's helpful, or stop whenever you're ready.
“My life was chaotic and full on, and I was under a huge amount of pressure. Mia made me feel so safe and supported and helped me to focus on what’s important to me, to set boundaries and to say ‘no’. Now my life is my own life again!”
“Mia made me feel safe, nourished and cared for. Her blend of coaching, breathwork and practices - such as journalling - was what helped me to finally make progress after all these years. The breathwork soothed my frazzled nervous system so I could safely be with my emotions. Her coaching pulled it all together, making connections and pulling out insights that helped me move forward and make real changes in my life.”
“Literally life-changing! I can’t believe how far I’ve come from the burnt out person I was a few months ago. I’ve re-connected with the things I really enjoy, I’m loving family time, and I love my work again. I feel more like...me.”
Who you’ll be working with
I’m Mia. I work with capable women navigating big, unchosen life changes.
I bring warmth, honesty, and a very practical approach - with a firm belief that you don’t need fixing, just support that actually fits your life. I take the work seriously, but not myself. There will be space for breath, truth, and the occasional dry laugh at how absurd life can be.
Tea is often involved.

£300 per month
Sessions are online or in person in Sheffield.
Redesign isn't something I offer to everyone - I take on a small number of clients at a time so I can give each person my full attention. Before we begin, I'd love to hear a little about where you are and what you're looking for.
If it sounds like a good fit, I'll invite you to a free gift coaching session - a proper hour together, no strings attached - so we can both get a feel for whether this is right.
Not sure if Redesign is the right level of support for you? Drop me a message.
Looking for something different?
Redesign is for as long as you need it - ongoing support while you navigate or reshape life through a major change.
If you're looking for immediate support to steady yourself right now, Regulate & Release - private breathwork sessions - could be the right place to start.
If you're "coping" - but running on empty - and want a structured six-week reset to help you actually make the changes you already know would help, Retune could be the better fit.
