Sound familiar?

(most of us tick at least three)

01You give your friends amazing advice, then completely ignore it yourself.
02You replay conversations in the shower for three days, or can’t let it go until you see the person again.
03You said “no worries!” about something that was very much a worry.
04The group chat thinks you’ve got it together. Your 2am brain has notes.
05You know exactly where the pattern comes from. Knowing hasn’t stopped it.
06Everyone else seems to have a five-year plan. You have a Pinterest board of vibes (and a cavoodle... no? just me?)

It’s not who you are, it’s a pattern, and patterns can change.

Sick of reacting instead of responding, or apologising after an argument? Short video modules and an in-depth workbook, with years of clinical research on emotional regulation packed into one short course.

Workshops & Retreats

Real conversation and connection, with likeminded women who also want to grow. Group sessions and the Mind + Soul Day Retreat build self-awareness and self-worth in a way one-on-one sometimes can’t.

About

Hi, I’m Mik

I bring the curiosity, a bit of sarcasm, and the clinical training to back it up. You bring the messy bits you might not want to share with the group chat.

There’s no doubt I’ve had my own share of messy moments, and through that, I realised that learning about myself, human behaviour and psychology gave me so much more compassion for myself and others. We’re all only human, and that’s what this space is for.
