Moving forward into a new chapter of your life and career isn’t just a process. Whether you’re at the point of stepping back into your career, pursuing new opportunities for your work, or leading a team that supports someone on this journey, you know it’s complex, emotional, and deeply personal. Especially if you're also moving forward from a period of mental ill-health, burnout, or exhaustion.
At Flourishing Phoenixes, we support you to make this an opportunity to rise. Not just to recover, but to rebuild with intention, clarity, and strength. Whether you’re an individual ready to take that next step or a business committed to supporting people's journey, this is where new possibilities begin.
Hi, I'm Megan Woods, the founder and heart of Flourishing Phoenixes.
I created Flourishing Phoenixes because I am passionate about helping people and organisations to feel - and be - psychologically safer. To help people flourish and thrive after toxic and depleting experiences. To create more positive and mentally-healthy workplaces and experiences of work. And most especially, to more safely and successfully support return-to-work from mental ill-health.
With over 20 years of experience as an academic, a researcher, a consultant and now a coach, I bring both my professional expertise and my lived experience of workplace mental health, psychological safety and return-to-work processes to every client and workplace I support. My work combines deep research and evidence-based strategies with genuine understanding and practical solutions to create meaningful change and help people - and workplaces -flourish.
I'm here to help you move forward with confidence, and I'll walk alongside you every step of the way.
Flourishing Phoenixes in based in Hobart Tasmania and proudly supports individuals and organisations across Australia.

When you're going after something new and different for yourself, it can feel very exciting! But working out what that is, and how to go about it, getting things happening and staying on track can also feel like a lot! I'll work with you to go after whatever you want, make your life whatever you want it to be, and celebrate everything you achieve.
Returning to work after a challenging time is a complex, emotional and deeply personal journey.
My coaching provides a quiet, calm, safe space to work out together what you want, and what you need to create a future that feels safe, empowering, and aligned with your priorities, values and dreams.
When you are supporting someone through a RTW journey it can feel challenging to navigate sensitive topics and confidential information, as well as balance individual needs with organisational requirements.
I’ll ensure you have practical tools and support to make return-to-work a smoother, safer and more successful experience for everyone.
Every organisation is unique, and so are the challenges you face. We’ll create sessions that equip your people with the confidence and skills to:
Helping people move from "I don't know how" to "I've got this! is what lights me up as a speaker.
I’ll help your people develop new understanding and capabilities in workplace mental health, return-to-work, leadership, and psychological safety with warmth, energy, real-world insights and practical strategies they can use straight away.
Let’s spark some big “aha!” moments together.
I partner with organisations to design supportive structures that make a real difference:
Let’s make your workplace a standout for all the right reasons.
Megan took my goals to the deepest levels and evoked the true change I was looking for and needing. By learning to honour my mind, and to respect and love myself, I have been able to make clearer choices that align with me and protect my energy. Megan empowered me, made me feel safe and gave me the time and space to breathe, take off my mask and bring back the joy into my life.
Megan’s coaching was compassionate, supportive, and motivating. When Megan reflected back all of the things I had achieved in my life, I was able to 'stop and enjoy the view from the top of the mountain'. I've let go of my previous role that was causing me so much stress and anxiety, changed jobs, instituted new routines at home, and am so much calmer!
Our sincerest gratitude to Megan for guiding our group of over 100 people leaders through a workshop on psychological safety and building ‘Change Ready’ cultures.
She expertly navigated these complex topics using a range of methods including practical activities, templates and great examples which made them highly relatable. Her engaging presentation left our group feeling confident and ready to do things differently to create greater levels of trust and safety in their teams.
Thanks Megan for your passion in this space, and for delivering such an impactful session!
