Hi, I'm Melanie
And I help Women reconnect with their Inner Purpose, Feminine Power and Joy.
I am a Mum of 3 amazing adult children who have been an inspiration to me their whole life, who I am proud of beyond measure... even when they are driving me crazy!!!
I am an Association of Coaching, accredited coach with over 25 years experience of coaching individuals and teams across my professional and personal life. I have had the privilege of training with the amazing Dr Claire Zammit, gaining a certification in woman centred coaching and accelerated group coaching,
I am a woman who has had a successful corporate career. Working for over 25 years at Boots a global retailer employing over 50,000 people and more latterly Capita. The proudest career moments were winning legendary leader as voted for by my team and building the team who delivered the new 360 customer experience which came to life in the new Covent Garden Store, changing the face of Boots, whilst honouring its past.
Now I follow my passion and purpose to support women in rising up and making themselves heard, finding and living the life they dream of and deserve.
So many women spend their lives, living by others expectations, not realising their power and potential and feeling unfulfilled and empty despite appearing to be successful, continuously looking to find the chance to break free from loneliness, unhappiness and a life of function. I want to change that, I want to support and empower them to embrace who they are, make the change in the world they are destined to make ….. and have fun along the way.
Why I set up
The Dragonfly Partnership
I had a dream to run my own business from a very young age and knew I had a calling to be a coach. Having learnt the transformative power of coaching, a coaching business was a no-brainer. But something was holding me back from taking the step to make it happen.
At the time I was so intent on being the person everyone needed me to be, this got me the love and appreciation I needed but it never seemed to fill me up. I craved more and more to be accepted and so gave more and more until there was nothing left of me - I no longer knew what I liked, what made me happy, what my purpose in life was.
To the outside world I was a successful self aware happy woman who had it all - beautiful family, successful career, friends, hobbies, recognition, awards and yet I struggled with my mental health, I felt lonely, I felt disconnected from the world, and I felt I wasn’t enough.
So I decided to take control of my life, I had therapy and coaching and I learnt lots, I was a sponge. I realised that it was me, holding me back. My own ability to connect to my true power and purpose within me.
So, I honed my intuition and recognition of others emotions, trained hard and used my skills to support people in my professional and personal life. I found I could help people to see into the core of themselves, help them to speak their truth and unlock and unleash their true selves.
The Dragonfly is so symbolic of my journey and is a true reminder of the inner strength, purpose and catalyst for change we all have. I have now gathered the experience, the tools, the knowledge and have taken the step to set up my business to support others on their journey through the pathway to joyful fulfillment.

Some fun facts about me...
I am the eldest of a family of 3 children and My Mum had me at the same age as I had my eldest daughter !
My 3 children mean the world to me, they have overcome challenges, built themselves up and followed their dreams. They are successful and importantly happy!
Recently I have found joy in things, I have always believed I disliked - motorbike racing, birds and gardening..... oh ! and fantasy romance books.
