About
Hello, I'm Janine.
Almost three decades creating calm in people's homes taught me where the real work happens, inside.
I've spent almost three decades running my interior design practice, Indigo Interiors, helping people create homes that feel calm, personal and full of life. I loved it - I still do. But over the years, I noticed that the conversations I valued most weren't about fabrics or floor plans. They were about the people: their hopes, their worries, and the changes they wanted to make.
So I listened to the quiet part of me that had been waiting its turn. I trained and qualified as an NLP life coach, then spent time coaching before going public, building my experience and confirming what I already felt: this is the work I'm meant to do.
So, what is NLP?
NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) is a practical, gentle approach that helps you understand how your thoughts shape your feelings and actions, and how to change the patterns that no longer serve you.
Why this work matters
I know this work matters because I've lived it.
As an only child, my early years included coercive abuse, followed by a terrible divorce and years of family separation. Loss, illness, and years struggling to fall pregnant before eventually having my children, all while caring for a parent with dementia, running a business, and raising my own children.
Along the way I've faced my own health challenges too, including a diagnosis that meant choosing to rebuild my strength and fitness rather than face further surgery. And I've done my own inner work through therapy, coaching, and mindfulness to come out the other side.
None of it was easy. All of it shaped the coach I am today. It's why I don't just teach NLP techniques, I understand what it takes to actually change your life when everything feels stacked against you.
The meaning behind the mark
Why a dragonfly?
The dragonfly in my logo isn't just decoration. Dragonflies spend most of their lives growing beneath the surface before they emerge and take flight. They symbolise transformation, self-realisation and living in the moment - everything I hope coaching gives you.
The wings around it represent what I promise every client: a safe, comforting space where you can be fully yourself.
Away from work, you'll find me at reformer Pilates, in the gym, or writing. I believe it's never too late to start again, because I've done it.
No pressure, ever
Shall we have a chat?
A free discovery call is a relaxed, no-obligation conversation to see whether we're the right fit. Nothing more.
