Hi I'm Joan McEwan

Starting my career as a Registered Nurse (Bachelor of Health Science with a Postgraduate in Mental Health), I have worked in intensive care, surgical neurology, casualty, and mental health in hospitals throughout Scotland and Australia, as well as the Royal Flying Doctors.  

I feel grateful to have had these opportunities that now support me in the work I do supporting Corporate Executives go from Corporate Burnout to Wellness.

I found myself being called to integrate other modalities into my scope of practice such as a Diploma of Naturopathy, Reiki Master attainment and a Diploma in Business Management.  Coupled with my high intuitive abilities, I realised that I could work with people’s energies on a mental, physical and emotional level to reenergise them to increase their energy and see life with clarity and purpose.

I realised that I was feeling a little bit too comfortable and knew that I was being called to make a difference in other industries, particularly the resources sector (and male dominated environments), where I went on to work in leadership positions for BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto Alcan, Anglo American, Arrow Energy, and QGC.

Working for global corporations as Head of Health, I was responsible for leading large teams, developing entire functions of health models and assets, and managing budgets in excess of $20million dollars to provide transformative results, both personally and professionally.

Throughout all of this, like many women, I was trying to precariously balance motherhood on my own with my two children.  I was also trying to help my daughter transition into adulthood, nurse my Mother until she passed, and I then found myself responsible for my ailing Father who required high care. I know what it is like to wear the many hats of being female and have a high level of empathy and care with those who may be experiencing the overwhelm and exhaustion of juggling all of this.

Working for global resource giants was an impactful and life changing experience, particularly being able to help women in such a male dominated industry. I am aware of (and have experienced first-hand) the bullying and burnout that women face, and I became restless in wanting to release the organisational constraints so that I could help in a truly transformative and holistic way.

Accepting poor mental fitness and pushing through it is NOT ok or sustainable!

This is what prompted me to create my legacy by starting my own transformational health and business practice. I help guide FemaleLeaders & Entrepreneurs to do health and business differently, getting the job done all whilst having fun, clarity, vitality, a lifestyle balance and freedom!
