About
Begin Again with Sandra
Begin Again is for women wondering what's next and ready to write their next chapter.
Don't be tricked, navigating the messy middle is not about mid-life.
The messy middle describes the phase where things are uncertain, you are neither here or there, there is a fog of the in-between.
If there is one certainty in life, it is change. And with change being an inevitable part of life we can expect to go through several cycles in our lifetime.
Perhaps there has been a dramatic change in your life context and circumstances, or perhaps it has arrived much more slowly and quietly. Whatever the version, you are ready to make room for something to shift. Begin Again is about intentionally choosing meaningful shifts that make way for lasting change.
Begin Again does not necessarily entail a total life overhaul (although this can happen).
Begin Again is a little by little approach that requires presence, inner reflection and a trust in your own agency. You get to reconnect and be guided by your inner compass, to discover the person you are becoming and to set something new in motion.
Sharing the journey
Walking it together
YOU CHOOSE | YOU DESIGN Your week of time outs. Live differently for a week.
Clarity | Alignment | Direction
Begin Again is for women.
And whatever roles or identities we hold, one thing is true: we are living full, demanding and ever-changing lives. We move from one moment to another, juggling while holding it all together, and often without having the quiet space to listen inwardly.
Is the life I’m living aligned with who I am now, who I want to be and who I am becoming?
If you are a woman who trusts that clarity, alignment and momentum can come through guided reflection, shared inquiry and conversation alongside a mentor, I’d love for you to come walk with me.
Begin Again Pathways
An invitation for meaningful change
You get to explore deeply the woman you are becoming, set intention and design your way forward.
You come with your strengths, experiences, life's rhythms and the seasons, and these become the starting point for your exploration of "Where next?"
Change can feel uncomfortable and Begin Again is about mindful growth and thriving.
Change may provide the context and conditions, but Begin Again transitions are about you making little shifts daily in the direction you are wanting to head, over and over again.
Here are reflections from women who have walked with Sandra - in their own time, in their own way
‘Thank you so much for being a supportive and positive influence in my life’
‘It was such a fabulous day. I really needed all that you gave and I’m so grateful.’
‘Sandra enriches the lives of others and of the larger community, I know I am not the only one that have benefitted’
'What Sandra shares has genuinely meant so much for me, I find her words help me stop and think deeply. Her experiences are resonant and have influenced me in ways that are unexpected and that continue over time.’
‘Sandra is an inspiration, of love, of caring for others, of helping others make their own dreams come true and develop their own potential.
"There were cues and prompts in Begin Again which challenged and helped me make some new reflections. I can see how Begin Again would work for someone who is a beginner in this arena but also still be useful for a more seasoned explorer of self"
"Sandra's Begin Again session gave me the time and tools to focus on what I really want at this stage in my life. I was able to imagine a different path for me, with a focus on living with passion and compassion.
I am excited to be at the beginning of a new adventure in my 50's"
"Instead of feeling trapped in an unfulfilling life I'm now giving myself permission to pursue a life of fulfillment, purpose and passion.
"Begin Again" has helped me to identify the type of life that I want to live, feel the joy in everyday rituals and mindfully work towards my goals each day. I've got the tools to future plan with purpose and agency and I've learnt that its never too late to begin again."
"Thanks Sandra for sharing the wisdom of your Begin Again workshop. I think much more clearly and straight forward now. It made a positive impact to my daily life. I may forget to set out each day thinking about my core intentions, but I now know deep down, I am living them every single day in my thoughts, actions and how I want to feel. Thank you so much again for your coaching as I am implementing them into my daily life especially the habits!"
"I did the Begin Again workshop with Sandra in hopes of helping me find a way to move forward. It did that and much more! Sandra has a contagious energy that inspires you to think big. Her workshop gave me the tools to work towards creating the future that I want for myself through self reflection, dreams and visions for what I want my life to look like. The best thing about working with Sandra is that you can feel the passion she has for you to succeed and the knowledge and skills she shares with you are invaluable. Sandra has helped me to move forward with creating a business that I am passionate about and her ongoing mentoring is helping me to not only improve it, but allowing for my own personal growth as well"
"Begin Again has been part of a soulful revolution. Sandra's innate nurturing wisdom, the guided exercises and time for reflection have given me skills that I really believe, are making for sustainable change and growth in my life. I am truly grateful for this experience. Begin Again has given me daily, weekly and longer term practices that are truly valuable for me in trying to live my life and traverse its joys & challenges as well as I can."
"Seeking and being open to change lead me to 'Begin Again'. The course content and facilitation enabled transformation in my life by providing the tools for change and the impetus needed to embark on a life-changing course of action."
"Begin Again - A road map to finding my way on track. After feeling overwhelmed, lost and directionless, Sandra walked beside me, offering gentle prompts and practical tools to help me find my way back to the path that resonated with my true self. Her compassionate guidance supported me to embrace new beginnings and rediscover the direction to light my path."

How To Connect
Let's Meander!
There is real strength in gathering women together in community.
And there are two ways you can connect: Meandering Online and Meandering in Person.
For those geographically afar, we get to connect through online group sessions, seasonal resets and one-on-one sessions
For women around Denmark and Albany in the Great Southern of Western Australia, on the lands of the Menang people in Noongar Boodja, we get to connect in beautiful surrounds in walks with nature, seasonal circle gatherings and 1:1 sessions in the outdoors.
Mentoring
Mentoring Pathways
Begin Again Mentoring is more about 'being with' and 'walking beside'.
I share a toolkit of frameworks, guided exercises, workbooks, journalling prompts, perspectives and spaces for conversation which work to invite reflection, insight and a deeper knowing.
The inspiration has come both from being professionally mentored myself over the years as a changemaker and being a professional mentor to hundreds of women in life transitions. It is a life-changing model way of working.
Meandering
Inner Compass as guide
Life is a journey where change is always occurring. Meandering is how I honour a belief that there is no single prescriptive linear plan when making life transitions.
Rather there are opportunities to explore, to know yourself, to take on new perspectives, to make meaning and to make choices at every crossroad.
Meandering becomes a real experiential practice in Begin Again, literally and metaphorically.
Belonging
The Begin Again Collective is a membership community for women drawn to the wisdom of being together in women’s circles.
Join the waitlist to hear more.
A love of life-long learning led me to pursue a Bachelor of Arts (Hons. Anthropology) and a Master’s in International & Community Development.
Over a period of 25 years in my professional career, I have worn the hats of trainer, educator, social change researcher and publisher, community development facilitator, consultant and change-making entrepreneur. Central to these experiences have been the joy and privilege to support hundreds of women from all backgrounds to grow and thrive as they go through life's transitions.
A turning point came after taking a course from the United States with Dr Kaufman from the Center of Human Potential after which I began facilitating Begin Again. I retrained to gain an ICF Certification as a Life Coach in October 2024.
