You're in the right place
Life doesn't hand out manuals. And somehow we're expected to figure it all out anyway.
Work pressure. Family expectations. Relationships that ask more than they give. Friendships that slowly drain you. Big decisions, little worries, changes you didn't ask for and the constant feeling that you should probably have it all figured out by now. Most women are carrying a lot and are often carrying it alone.
You might be the person everyone comes to when they need something. The one who listens, helps and fixes the issues in everyone's lives. But who's asking how you're doing? That's where we come in. Return to Me After We is a coaching space built by women, for women. We combine real coaching skills with the honesty and comfort of talking to someone who actually gets it.
Our story
Founded by me, Nayandra Verwoerd and joined by certified life coach Slavica Jovanovic. We brought together two women from different generations who share a remarkably similar outlook on life. Like so many women we've felt the weight of trying to hold everything together. The relationships, the roles and the version of ourselves everyone else needed us to be. It took living through our own hardships to understand what it really means to lose yourself and what it takes to find your way back.
Slavica is a certified life coach with years of professional coaching experience behind her and I'm what I happily call a self-proclaimed "vibe coach". A title that isn't a certification or professional credential, but a nod to everything I've learned on my own journey. Together, we realised we wanted to offer women something rare: a friend who happens to be really, really good at listening.
Connection
You don't have to carry everything alone. Whether it's one-on-one or in a virtual room full of women who just get it. You'll find honesty, support and the kind of connection that reminds you that you were never really alone in this you just needed someone to sit with you in it.
Clarity
Together we'll dig into what matters most to you, challenge the beliefs that might be holding you back and spot the patterns that keep showing up. With the focus on gettingg a clear picture on where you are right now and where you actually want to be.
Growth
We'll build on that clarity with trying new perspectives, practicing new ways of showing up. Because remebering that growth isn't about becoming someone new. It's about stepping back into the woman you already are.

Commonly asked questions
I'm a coach and want to join your team
Return to Me After We started with two women on two very different journeys but and one shared belief: every woman deserves a friend who really listens and knows what she's doing. We're a small team by design, but we know our story doesn't have to end at two. If you're a certified coach who believes in what we're building we'd love to hear from you.
We don't have a fixed structure in place for this yet. What we do have is an open conversation and a genuine willingness to figure it out together. We can talk about what collaboration might look like and how we might grow this thing as a team. If that sounds like something you'd want to explore head over to our contact form and let's talk it through.
What is a "professional friend" exactly?
Someone who sits in that space between a therapist and a close friend, without trying to be either. Who listens without judgment or an agenda, holds what you share with care and has just enough distance to be honest with you the kind of honesty only an outsider can offer.
Is Return to me after we therapy?
No. Our sessions offer supportive, judgment-free conversation, but they're not a substitute for licensed therapy or mental health treatment. If you're navigating a mental health crisis, please reach out to a licensed professional or local crisis service.
What happens in a session?
There's no script. The conversation goes wherever you need it to go a decision you're wrestling with, a relationship weighing on you or simply the need to be heard by someone outside the situation.
Where are the sessions held?
One-on-one sessions run for 60 minutes. Group sessions run for 160 minutes. Both take place online via Microsoft Teams, so you can join from wherever feels most comfortable.
I want to sign up for a group session. How does that work?
Group sessions are only done when we have enough sign ups. Do not worry you do not pay for a group session if none are held but you did sign up. We will contact you when there are slots available.
Do I need to commit to multiple sessions?
Not at all. This isn't a program to follow you can book a single session or return as often as you'd like, whenever you need it.
