Start living fearlessly.
You've found me because you're ready to stop performing a life that looks good on paper and start building one that actually feels like yours. Meaning...
~ You're done feeling stuck in a career that no longer fits and are ready to pivot
~ You want to start or grow your own business, with the confidence to fully back yourself
~ You want to leverage your skills and experience into a new income stream, new role or direction
~ You want to stop second-guessing and feel confident and empowered in your career choices
~ You want to close the gap between who you are now and who chose your career a decade ago
~ You want work that feels energising and meaningful, while redefining what success means to you
My work helps mid-career women at a pivot point - burnt out, boxed in or simply outgrown, who are ready to create change that feels true to who they're becoming. If that's you, your journey starts here...
My mission & vision
I'm Melissa Afonso, also known as The Pivot Point Coach.
I work with mid-career standing a pivot point, who are ready to move from stuck, tired and unsure of what's next to clear, confident and fulfilled.
My mission is to empower women to live by design, not default.
Through transformational coaching, I support women through burnout, career breaks and career transitions, helping you get specific about what "aligned" actually means for you: work that uses what you're good at, pays what you're worth and doesn't cost you your energy or your identity.
Together we will unpack what’s holding you back and the identity that you're still leaning on and build a clear plan towards your goals and your next chapter.
Take it all in, because it’s absolutely possible for you! I’m here to nudge you in the right direction.
Grow Your Vision
"Motivating. Rewarding. Focusing."
"I found this invaluable"
Coaching for me was brilliant in terms of providing a period of time for uninterrupted focus on goals and aims. It gave the unique opportunity to reframe goals that might otherwise might have felt overwhelming or too ambitious.
I have found the time in coaching impacting other areas of my professional life too outside of the specific goals. The sessions were motivating and rewarding - it naturally feels energising putting an active focus into your career.

How I can transform your life
I know how it feels because I've been there myself.
Feeling stuck, knowing deep down that you're meant for more, but with no map for the next step.
That inner nudge, the one that keeps pulling at you and saying there's something else for me, is where transformation begins.
My mission is to help women who are yearning for more but feel stuck or burnt out, reconnect with who they truly are and move forward with confidence to the life they deserve.
Imagine if your career felt:
Freeing, with a deep inner sense of contentment
Grounded in self-trust, taking action and building resilience
Expansive, exciting and full of possibility
Motivating, with a renewed sense of purpose
Aligned with your values and the person you are now
This is what becomes possible when you stop living by default and start living by design.
