Self Made Journey is for the successful professional woman whose life looks right from the outside and feels heavy to live from the inside, and who is ready to be met honestly in the work of rebuilding it.
Some women come to me in a season of knowing. They know something has to change, but they are overwhelmed, uncertain where to start, and quietly asking for permission to choose differently.
Others come in a season of depletion. They are dragging themselves through their days in autopilot, wearing the mask of okay, lying awake at night because their real life will not quiet down. Whichever season you are in, you are in the right place.
The work I do is to help you come back to hope, both in yourself and in what your life can still become, and then build from there.
Hi, I’m Pam
I am a coach and consultant who has spent her career searching for work that is meaningful, and helping others find the same.
My path took me through advertising, early careers and social mobility work in South Africa, and career consulting in the UK at General Assembly and LSE. Along the way, I trained as a Creative Consciousness Coach® (ICF ACTP Level 2). I built Self Made Journey because too many women I love, and the woman I have been at different points in my own life, were drowning quietly behind the mask of okay. I wanted more for us.
Everything I create is built from lived experience. I am not coaching from theory. I am coaching from the work I have had to do, and continue to do, in my own life. To listen to my body. To trust my intuition. To build a life that is mine.
If you are reading this and something in you is tired of waiting, please hear me say it: you are allowed to want more. You deserve a full life, and you are worthy of one.

What my clients say
-
Pam created a safe space, listened with empathy and real attentiveness, and offered insights that stayed with me. I would invite any woman to join Root to get a greater understanding of what could be standing in her way of showing up as her best self. It is practical, the concepts are accessible, and the impact is real.

I came into Root stuck in a cycle of nothingness and constantly tired. What I didn't expect was to sit in a pod meeting and realise I was not alone, not dramatic, and completely normal. That shifted something in me. I also realised I had been harder on myself than anyone else had ever been, and that I needed to extend to myself the same kindness I had always given to everyone else. Pam is calm, accommodating, patient and relatable. She makes you feel like you belong, and like you want to dig deep and be better. This experience was life changing.

I came to Pam feeling overwhelmed, but now I’m focused on my larger vision and I have the tools to get there—even when the path isn’t linear. The most powerful realisation was that I was holding myself back to save the feelings of others, but Pam helped me understand that I’m incredibly capable. She arrived full of truth and light to help me grow.
