My mission & vision
I'm Melissa Afonso, also known as The Pivot Point Coach.
I work with women who are standing a pivot point in their careers or lives and are ready to move from stuck and uncertain to clear, confident and fulfilled.
My mission is to empower women to live by design, not default.
Through transformational coaching, I support mid-career women through transitions, from burnout, career breaks and life pivots to find purpose, authenticity and direction, so they can create lives that feel aligned with who they truly are.
Together we will deep dive into what’s holding you back and build a clear plan towards your goals in order to create a happier, more authentic and fulfilling life.
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 something more, but not quite sure what the next step looks like.
That quiet inner nudge that says there's another purpose for me, is where transformation begins.
My mission is to help women who have a yearning for more but feel stuck, unfulfilled or overwhelmed, to reconnect with who they truly are and confidently move forward to the life they deserve.
Imagine if your life felt:
Freeing, with a deep inner sense of contentment
Full of abundance, flow and possibility
Motivating and purposeful
Aligned with your values and true self
This is what becomes possible when you stop living by default and start living by design, with clarity, confidence and the courage to create the life you deserve.
