Cognitive behavioural life coach & author
Edith Joseph Hek coaches people to change their response to what life throws at them — so her platform was built the same way: calm, deliberate, and pointed at exactly one outcome per page.
Change your life around for the better. A grounded, one-on-one journey of self-reflection, growth and lasting change — rooted in cognitive behavioural principles.
The challenge
Edith's work lives in three places at once: one-on-one coaching, long-form writing on cognitive behavioural practice, and a published journal sold through third-party retailers. Before this build, each lived on a different platform, and none of them pointed at the others.
The brief: a single author platform that presents the method, sells the book without holding stock, funnels readers toward coaching — and feels like her, not a theme.
Design language
A palette that behaves like the coaching does: warm cream to sit in, sage for grounding, terracotta reserved for the moments that ask something of you, and navy where the thinking happens.
The framework
Most coaching sites describe a philosophy. This one performs it: the E + R = O model Edith teaches sits at the centre of the homepage as an interactive panel, so a visitor understands the work before a single word of sales copy.
It isn't the event that shapes your life — it's your response to it. Tap a letter.
Lead generation
The site's main funnel doesn't push a discovery call. It asks one disarming question — how satisfied are you with your life? — and offers a short reflective questionnaire. Warm on the page, deliberate underneath: everyone who answers has already started the coaching conversation.
Take a few quiet minutes to reflect. A gentle place to begin noticing where you'd like to grow.
The journal
A daily journal for mindful growth and self-reflection — the method from the coaching room, bound. The platform gives it a dedicated home: cover, premise, and a single terracotta button that hands the reader to the retailer.
Tap the cover to run the path — no storefront to maintain, no stock to hold.
The blog
Edith's essays — on manufactured dependency, inverted accountability, psychological knowledge misused, and the mirrors we avoid — are the platform's engine: long-form, personal, and specific. The blog template stays out of the way — warm reading ground, generous measure, a single pull-quote style — because the words are the design.
Contact
The contact page routes intent, not just messages: the enquiry selector separates coaching questions from book and press requests before they land in the inbox, and the questionnaire sits alongside the form as the softer first step for anyone not ready to write.
Under the hood
Edith publishes essays, updates the book page and reviews enquiries herself. The platform was shaped around that: content editing without touching code, integrations that hand work to the retailer, and a structure that grows a section at a time — the motivational cards being the newest.
Impact
a reader can arrive from Instagram, understand the method, read an essay, buy the journal and book a conversation — without the site ever raising its voice.
The platform doesn't shout about the work. It does what the work does — it changes the response.
