because growth isn’t just about strategy

It’s about healing.
It’s about shedding old patterns.
It’s about doing the inner work that lets the outer success feel safe, sustainable, and actually enjoyable.

Making Strides is a space where women in business come to pause, breathe, and reconnect, not just with their goals, but with themselves.

This is where the nervous system meets the business plan.
Where trauma-informed support meets practical tools.
Where success starts from the inside out.

what is making strides?

Making Strides is a growing collection of trauma-informed courses, workshops, and retreats designed for women in business who want real change, not just another quick fix.

Whether you’re navigating self-doubt, burnout, procrastination or that sneaky voice that says “you’re not enough,” this is a space to work through what’s really holding you back with honesty, compassion and support.

You don’t need to push harder.
You need to feel safer.
And from there… everything changes.

“I honestly don’t have the right words to express my gratitude for you and this process we are working through together”

what’s coming

We’re currently building a beautiful programme of in-person and online support, including:

  • Practical, trauma-informed courses that explore mindset, nervous system regulation, visibility blocks, and confidence from the inside out

  • Live workshops and experiences that blend strategy with somatic support so you leave with tools and transformation
  • Nourishing retreats designed for deep rest, connection and breakthrough moments, far away from your never-ending to-do list

who is this for?

Women in business who’ve done all the courses… but still feel stuck

Those who suspect there’s more going on under the surface and want to understand why

Neurodiverse women who’ve never quite felt like they fit the “standard” approach to success

Those ready to stop spinning plates and start making powerful, permanent change

Don't feel stuck with support

“I feel like 6 year’s worth of trauma and guilt has just been lifted off of me and I can’t explain how amazing it feels thank you so so much”

coming soon

We’re working behind the scenes to craft something truly supportive, special, and rooted in everything we stand for: Safety, depth, honesty, healing, and growth.

“One of the standout moments was a powerful and interactive session led by Verity at Blu Giraffe exploring our protector behaviours. Those parts of us that show up as people-pleaser, procrastinator, overthinker, the one who retreats etc…

We each chose a card that spoke to us and gently shared in small groups what that protector part meant in our own lives. We were invited to listen, support and reflect. Not to dive too deep but to hold space for one another. What really resonated with me?

These behaviours aren’t flaws. “

“Verity Curryer gave us a thought-provoking presentation related to how we behave as a result of trauma. The big T stuff we usually associate with trauma. And also the little T stuff such as a tiny comment, or look, that we take from childhood.

Then as an adult we wonder why we feel off, unsettled or panicky in some situations. Our nervous system is trying to keep us safe.

3 common blocks;

  • Overwhelm
  • Procrastination
  • Imposter Syndrome

Following our group discussion, my takeaway was that we may often feel alone, and we are the only one struggling. Yet, today we showed each other we share many of the same insecurities.”

“What an incredible talk and process with Verity from Blu Giraffe. A natural, gentle and supportive method of working through blocks, in an inclusive way”
