Life & Career coaching for women
Rewild yourself
You're looking for better balance. Things don't quite feel in alignment right now and you sense that life could feel happier, more fulfilling, with a few meaningful changes.
​
Maybe you've had the ideas and intentions but haven't quite turned them into reality yet. Or perhaps you know the next step you want to take, and you just need some support to get there. Maybe your feeling lost with the what and how of making change?
​
At Where the Mind Grows, I offer one-to-one coaching sessions in nature . These can be sessions in private woodland at Little Seed Field, near Ripon, North Yorkshire, in public parks and woodland across West and North Yorkshire, or online if needed. Sessions are typically 90 minutes, available pay-as-you-go or as a package.

Life coaching for women in Yorkshire
In your personal life, you may feel you've lost parts of yourself you'd like to reclaim . These might be habits, hobbies, connection, or simply a sense of who you are. Or there are aspects of yourself you've always wanted to develop, and life just hasn't allowed for it yet.
​
You may have struggled with self-esteem and confidence, what some call imposter syndrome. Perhaps you recognise yourself as an overthinker who gets stuck in analysis paralysis, relies on others' opinions, or falls into cycles of comparison, anxiety, and self-doubt. People-pleasing and over-commitment may be draining your time and energy, leaving little room for yourself.
That leads to frustration, resentment and communication with others that leaves you feeling guilty for your outbursts.
​
These feelings ; anxiety, frustration, confusion, feeling lost are a natural response to being out of alignment. You've not failed by feeling them. The way we'll see it together, is as useful feedback to draw on what you need, want and how to change.
​
Wanting support for yourself is not something to feel guilty about. Our sessions together will help you let go of any of that. When you begin to feel and see the change you want. It all feels worth that step out of the comfort zone.
​
When these things become easier to manage, you're free to show up fully nd wholesomely for yourself and for the people you care about, without compromise.
​
Together, we work on:
-
Building confidence and trusting your own decisions
-
Managing your time and energy with intention
-
Regulating emotions when overwhelm or over-thinking takes hold
-
Finding a clear pathway to career and life satisfaction
-
Igniting the parts of you, that bring you the most joy
-
Ensuring you are connected to what matters most, helping you see your values as a trusty guide.
-
Work with intuition - something women are often taught to suppress - to help you with freedom, courage, resilience and decision making.
​
Our time in Nature offers a therapeutic space, without being therapy.
​
Coaching is a strengths-based, holistic and person centre approach that focuses on solutions. This is a fancy way of saying, I'll work with you to help you find your best fit for the challenges and aims you bring. No need to try to fit in one programme or framework. All my client experiences are different, because each of you are unique and gifted in your own way. That's what we bring to life together.

THE WILD WITHIN
Coaching helps you gain clarity and take action — defining where you are now and where you want to be.
My aim is to help you live as the unique individual you are: joyful and content in the life you create. To have the strategies and confidence to navigate being human — its light and shade — and always find your way back to an authentic, balanced life.
​
Vision and Opportunities
I'll help you get clear on what your ideal life looks like, igniting your aspirations and acting as your critical companion — ensuring your aims, intentions, and actions are realistic and sustainable.
​
Understanding Yourself Better
A space to be yourself, free of judgement. Sessions offer time to connect, make sense of how you work, and lean into your strengths. We'll look at how your mind works, with strategies to shift unhelpful thinking, manage emotions, release stuck beliefs, and make change feel possible. And we'll celebrate those magical lightbulb moments.
​
Simplify and Slow Down
Bring your energy and attention back to what matters. We'll look at the bigger picture and the finer detail making sure your time, energy, and attention are connected to your health and happiness. Identifying which roles and responsibilities to sustain and nurture, and where to let go and compost. Exploring both your inner world and purposeful changes in life and career.
​
Trusting Yourself and Your Decisions
Confidence to be and trust yourself is at the heart of everything we do. Sessions support you to celebrate and appreciate the unique, courageous person you are. You'll learn when to say yes and how to say no. Especially helpful if you recognise people-pleasing, overcommitment, self-doubt, or procrastination as patterns getting in your way.
​
Deepening Connection
If you're drawn to a deeper connection with yourself, others, and the world around you, this is your space. We'll explore communication, identity, social connection, and the interconnectedness of your life. Finding opportunities for real wholesomeness. Drawing on spirituality as well as science. Nothing forced, just what feels natural to explore together. The types of conversations you might not have with friends or family. Totally free of judgement.
​
Courage Through Change
Happiness and simplicity are our focus, but sessions are also a place to be real, raw, and honest about life's harder chapters. No toxic positivity here. I recognise that our stories can carry fear, grief, trauma, and self-doubt, and that life can derail even the best intentions. We'll nurture sustainable strategies and inner resources for life's squiggly paths, so you can always find your way back to yourself. Because life happens, even to the best of us.
​
Rewild Your Mind and Soul
As adults, we often stifle the creativity and playfulness that bring genuine satisfaction. Here, you're invited back to nature — and back to the wild, courageous parts of yourself. We'll find ways to escape the pressures of modern life that quietly harm your happiness, and rediscover presence, patience, and stillness as genuine forms of self-care and compassion. Part of working with me, is also to understand your deep intrinsic connection with and to the natural world and how Nature can be a companion and mentor to you, in attaining long term well-being and inner connection
​
Your Contribution to the World
Sessions help you define and move toward your purpose. Making decisions about how you want to live, what direction you want your career to take, and how you want to show up — for yourself and for others. Connecting with your purpose and embracing your opportunity to be a hopeful, helpful, and impactful human in the world

THE VENUE
Meet me in the woods
Between March and November our sessions together are held at private woodland located at Little Seed Field, Castiles Farm, Ripon, North Yorkshire, HG4 3PU.
The venue is a working farm, glamping, and wedding location. I lease a private woodland area, just a short walk from the glamping site, making our way past two nature ponds and into the woods; where woodpeckers, deer, stoats and hares often join us.
There is free parking onsite and access to toilets.
I provide refreshments for our sessions.
​
If the woods isn't for you. ​I also offer sessions online or as walk and talks in nature spaces across West & North Yorkshire.
​
The sessions can be adapted to some accessibility needs. Please discuss this at your discovery call to ensure we can help you attend the sessions with ease.
Hi, I am JK (Jennie-Kate), Coach and Founder of Where the Mind Grows.
I left my career in leadership, within private, public and charity health to become a coach. Seeing colleagues burning out, when they cared so much about the work they did. Losing great talents and kind hearts because our systems didn't support true well-being and resilience.
My work in Nature began in 2019. A few years earlier I'd rekindled my own relationship with Nature after years of disconnection.
As a child I'd been wild and creative, especially in the wild.
But my career in leadership meant I lost that part of me. The wild and unique part, had tried to fit itself into other people's boxes and that just wasn't working for my well-being, my joyfulness or my freedom.
Finding myself - or bringing those joyful parts up to the here and now - changed my life for the better. And now I help people do the same.
Combining coaching approaches like Neurolinguistic Programming, Transactional Analysis and Emotional Intelligence. With therapeutic techniques for inner alignment and healing from Metaphors for Movement and Integral Eye Movement Therapy and M-Braining (three brain being). I've also learn how Nature is a wise teacher, in a practical way and combine Ecopsychology (relation as Nature), Biomimicry (learning from Nature) and Nature Reconnection (Mindfulness and emotional regulation) to help people create deep and meaningful change.
I love the world we in it, and so consciously aim to keep my business and life footprints small, whilst ensuring a purposeful impact in the choices I make. I've studied in regenerative leadership and sustainability approaches.
Which have helped me to slow myself down in a busy world (despite my super-duper galaxy of a creative mind) and invest in my well-being so I can be at my best for the amazing people I delight to coach. I live in Leeds, spend most of my time on wild adventures, but I love a snuggly restful time buy the fire too!
