If no one else needed anything from you, where would you steer?
I’m Evelyn Alessandri. Soul Coach, Author and Speaker.
For over 15 years, I’ve been helping women find their way through life’s twists and turns, reconnect with themselves and find the courage to make choices that feel right for them.
Because taking the wheel isn’t about getting everything right. It’s about remembering that you have a say in where you’re going.

THE BOOK, COMING 19th NOVEMBER 20276
Taking the Wheel
Finding your way to a happier, more authentic life.
My story. Your road.
Well, I finally did it! I wrote a book.
And what a journey that turned out to be!
Taking the Wheel is a collection of stories from my life. Some wonderful, some heartbreaking, and a few that still make me shake my head and wonder what on earth I was thinking!
But this isn’t just about my journey.
As you travel through the pages, I invite you to look at your own life. The choices you’ve made, the people who’ve influenced you, and those moments when life has taken you in a direction you never expected.
Part memoir, part navigation guide, it’s about learning to pause, listen to yourself and find the courage to choose what comes next.
Because it’s never too late to take the wheel.
Available 19 November 2026.

A note from Evelyn
For the steady ones who carry more than others see
You know, it’s funny how we can spend so much of our lives looking after everyone else that we almost forget to check in with ourselves.
We get on with things. We manage. We cope. And when someone asks how we are, the answer is usually, “I’m fine, thanks!”
Even when we’re not.
I know that feeling. I’ve been there myself.
And over the past fifteen years, I’ve met so many wonderful women who are brilliant at holding everything together, yet quietly wondering where they fit into their own lives.
That’s why I do what I do.
I’m not here to tell you how to live your life. Goodness knows, I’ve made enough wrong turns of my own!
But I do believe that sometimes we need a little space to stop, gather our thoughts and remember what matters to us.
Whether it’s through a conversation, a workshop, my book or simply something you read here, I hope you’ll find something that helps you along your way.
And perhaps, somewhere in the process, you’ll remember that your needs matter too.

A note from Evelyn
For the steady ones who carry more than others see
If you’re here, I imagine you’re one of life’s steady ones, the strong, the dependable, the quiet heart who holds space for everyone else.
I don’t offer quick fixes. I offer something gentler, something steadier — a sanctuary to breathe again, to soften, to listen, and to remember your own wisdom.
Everything I share comes from lived experience, intuition and compassion; from walking through my own storms and learning how to pause, how to ground, how to reconnect with the strength and light that never truly leaves us.

THE BOOK, COMING SOON
A MEMOIR OF CHOICES, COURAGE AND CLAIMING YOUR OWN LIFE
There comes a moment in life when you realise you can’t keep driving on autopilot.
Maybe something unexpected happens.
Maybe something breaks.
Or maybe, quietly and without drama, you recognise that the life you’re living no longer feels like your own.
Taking the Wheel is a deeply personal and powerful journey through those moments.
Through honest storytelling, Evelyn shares her path through love, loss, motherhood, identity, illness, and healing, and the quiet, often difficult decisions that changed everything.
This is not a story about having all the answers.
It’s about learning to pause long enough to hear your own.
THE JOURNEY
Workshops & Retreats
Step away from the noise. Find stillness, and return to what truly matters.
Kind words
From beautiful souls who’ve walked beside me.
“These cards are just gorgeous! Together with Evelyn's Gratitude Journal, they rewire my brain and my approach to the day. Love them!”
“Evelyn's open embrace as we entered the room spoke volumes. I felt welcome, the space was open to being authentic. The whole retreat flowed with knowledge and wisdom.”
“Thank you Evelyn, for facilitating a day that was very profound for me, and in such a gentle, light and safe space. It was a gift, truly.”
“Thank you Evelyn, for being your true self, sharing your intuition and wisdom. I am blessed to have you in my life.”
“Highly recommend this workshop to connect to yourself! Evelyn is living her passion and life purpose.”
“Wow, that was a super magical time. I loved every moment. Thank you Evelyn for your thoughtfulness, love, humour, and playful spirit.”
"Thank you for running such a great workshop. It was just what we needed to launch our company retreat."
"The best decision we made for our wedding day. Evelyn had a way of making the moment feel so special in such a lighthearted way. Throughout the process, she brought us back to our why, We are grateful for her guidance and the sense of calm she brings to the planning. Again, the best decision we made."
At the first graduation ceremony of the MAP Rehabilitation Carers Course, we were privileged to have Evelyn as our guest speaker. Her presentation was inspiring, uplifting, and impactful, leaving graduates motivated to move forward with confidence as they embark on the next chapter of their rehabilitation care journey.
Thank you Evelyn for speaking your truth.
