Female health, performance and leadership science for women and the organisations they lead.

Workplace conversations about performance and leadership have left out one important piece for far too long: female biology.

See Her Thrive exists to bring that missing insight in, helping women and organisations understand and unlock the female performance edge.

Science-led. Practical. Built for how women actually work.

Female physiology isn’t a liability to manage. It’s a performance system to understand.

 

When women and organisations they work in truly get that, everything shifts. Confidence. Performance. Retention. Leadership. That’s what we’re here to make possible.

 

Topics we Cover 

  • The Menstrual Cycle and Performance

    Your menstrual cycle is doing a lot more than you’ve probably been told.

    Each phase brings real, measurable shifts in how you think, lead, make decisions, and sustain energy, driven by hormone shifts that directly affect your brain and nervous system.

    This isn’t about working less or being less ambitious. It’s about understanding the performance system you’re already running, and using that knowledge to work smarter - and help your organisation do the same.

  • PMDD, PME & Hormonal Mental Health

    PMDD is one of the most misunderstood and under-diagnosed conditions affecting women at work. And it’s not about being “too sensitive” or struggling to cope.

    It has a clear neurological basis: a heightened brain response to normal hormone changes that creates real, cyclical disruption to cognitive function, emotion regulation and leadership performance.

    We help women finally understand what’s happening and how to manage it, and help organisations respond with knowledge and structure, not guesswork and sympathy.

  • Perimenopause & Menopause

    Perimenopause tends to arrive just as women hit their leadership stride, and the cognitive and physical changes that come with it are real, significant, and almost completely missing from how organisations support their senior women.

    Brain fog, disrupted sleep, shifts in confidence and identity - these aren’t signs that something is going wrong. They’re a hormonal transition with a biological explanation.

    Understanding the science gives women agency, and provides organisations with the tools to actually keep their most experienced talent.

  • Energy, the Nervous System & Leadership Resilience

    High performance is only possible when your body can support it, and for women, that means understanding the relationship between hormones, the nervous system, stress and energy in a way that most performance frameworks completely miss.

    The good news? When you understand how your body actually manages pressure, capacity and recovery, you have far more influence over your energy than you might think.

    We help women build that understanding, and help organisations create the conditions where female performance isn’t just possible, it’s actually sustainable. Not by asking women to push harder, but by working with their biology, not against it.

  • Confidence, Leadership Presence & Visibility

    Here’s something most leadership programmes don’t tell you: the way you see yourself, your confidence, your sense of your own strengths, your willingness to be visible, is partly biological.

    Hormones and life stage have a real impact on self-belief, risk tolerance, and how fully you show up. Add to that the fact that women are wired with a stronger negativity bias - we notice and dwell on what we’re not doing well far more easily than what we are - and it becomes clear why so many brilliant women undersell themselves, stay quiet in rooms they should be leading, and struggle to be visible.

    Understanding this is the first step. But we go further, helping women and organisations translate that understanding into the practical tools, language, and confidence to own their strengths, raise their profile, and lead without shrinking.

For organisations

Your female talent deserves more than awareness training.

When organisations genuinely understand how female biology shapes performance, leadership and wellbeing, everything changes. We work with L&D teams, people directors and senior leaders to make that understanding real, practical, and lasting. No box-ticking. Not another awareness day. Science that actually changes how you develop and retain your best people.

Real change is possible and we’re proving it every day.

Built to Thrive Women’s Leadership Development

Your organisation may invests in leadership development. But if those programmes weren’t built around the science of how women actually work - their biology, their psychology, and the specific barriers they face - they’re only doing part of the job.

Built to Thrive is the only women’s leadership methodology designed to work on all three levels: the science of the female body and brain, the psychology of identity and leadership, and the organisational systems women are moving through every day.

Women leave with stronger leadership capability, a deeper understanding of themselves, and the confidence and tools to perform, lead and progress on their own terms.

It can be delivered in the way that works best for your organisation: as a standalone cohort programme, an intensive off-site, a module within a wider leadership offer, or a bespoke blend shaped around your people and your goals.

The methodology stays the same. The format flexes to you.

  • RETREATS

    Step away. Come back with more of what matters. Once a year, we bring together a small group of women for five days of yoga, somatic practices, leadership workshops, and the kind of rest, connection and reflection that’s impossible to find in everyday life.

What people are saying

Meet Clare Knox, the Organisational Psychologist redefining women’s health, leadership and performance in the workplace.

Clare Knox has spent her career asking one question: how can women thrive in a world that was never built with them in mind?

It was her own experience of PMDD that revealed the answer nobody was talking about. The science of the female body had been completely left out of workplace conversations about performance and leadership.

See Her Thrive exists to change that.

Combining organisational psychology, physiology and somatic coaching, Clare brings a fresh and urgently needed lens to women’s health at work. She translates female biology into the language of leadership, performance and sustainable success, creating work that is not only thought-provoking, but genuinely useful for women and the organisations that want to support them properly.

Clare has served on the UK Government’s All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for women’s health at work, has spoken at international conferences and the Houses of Parliament, and has been featured by BBC World News, The Times, Women’s Health, Stylist and Grazia.
