sheHarmony Story

At sheHarmony, we believe in the transformative power of connection, support, and empowerment.

 

Born from a deeply personal journey, sheHarmony was created by Vanessa Simpson-Griffiths, who has experienced the pain and loss of divorce firsthand—twice. Through these challenges, Vanessa eventually found strength in sisterhood. Being independent to a fault, meant Vanessa suffered alone much longer than she should have, and her healing and recovery took much longer than it should have. Vanessa doesn’t want this for you and is passionate about providing opportunities for women who have experienced divorce or the loss of a partner to experience the magic of sisterhood and expert guidance in meaningful spaces where they can heal, grow, and thrive.

We’re “fine” we tell ourselves even when in reality we’re depressed, we’re overwhelmed, we’re lonely, and we’re hurting. “We’re fine, we’re just too busy right now” we say when days, weeks, months, and years go by without connecting with friends. I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m fine. It’s so easy to say even when it’s not true.

We’ve become so isolated and it’s hard to know how to get back. It’s so hard to know how to begin to rebuild the kind of life our hearts need. 

We don't depend on each other to do laundry, cook dinner, or raise babies anymore. We don't really depend on each other for much of anything if we're being honest.

In Brene Brown’s book Braving the Wilderness, she says that being lonely affects the length of our life expectancy similar to smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Our longing for connection is real! We’ve treated female connection like a luxury for far too long; it isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. We need it.

Be independent. Be proud of it. But be an independent woman who realises the value and the importance of opening the door to other good women. You can do it alone, but you don't have to. Islands are only fun for so long. There is true magic when women come together and hold hands and share ideas, stories, struggles and laughter.

​

Our mission is simple yet profound: to connect women with meaningful opportunities for healing, and personal growth.

Each retreat or travel experience is led by a highly skilled and compassionate expert—your Harmonizer—who brings deep expertise in guiding women through life’s transitions. More than just a group leader, your Harmonizer is a specialised professional—whether a divorce coach, wellness expert, therapist, grief counsellor, or transformation specialist—dedicated to providing the support, insight, and encouragement you need to heal, grow, and rediscover your strength. With a profound understanding of the unique paths women walk, they create a safe, nurturing space where you can embrace your true potential.

Vanessa’s vision for sheHarmony is rooted in her belief that no woman should face life’s challenges alone. With every detail thoughtfully managed, we showcase experiences that allow you to focus on what truly matters: rediscovering yourself, forming lasting friendships, and stepping forward with renewed strength and purpose.

At sheHarmony, it’s not just about the journey—it’s about finding harmony within and with others, knowing you are supported every step of the way. We invite you to join us alongside our expert Harmonizers, including divorce coaches, wellness experts, therapists, grief counsellors, and transformation specialists to experience a world of sisterhood, empowerment, and meaningful adventure.
