We help organisations turn stress into measurable performance capacity and leadership into execution and results — with outcomes you can track and take to the board.
Lumarrae was founded by mother–daughter team Candace and Jo-Anne Watermeyer, combining modern coaching practice with deep corporate and HR leadership experience across demanding environments in the UK and beyond.
When pressure rises, performance doesn’t have to fall.
We work with leaders and teams navigating change, growth, complexity and high expectations — strengthening the capabilities that drive sustainable performance:
Some people call this “resilience training”. We focus on performance capacity — because “cope harder” isn’t a strategy.
Lumarrae blends three elements most corporate coaching misses:
1) Stress-to-performance coaching (EFT-informed)
Practical coaching that helps people shift unhelpful stress responses, recover faster, and sustain high performance — without burnout culture.
2) Individually tailored leadership development and coaching
Personalised coaching using the DISC behavioural framework to develop leadership strengths, tailored to individual growth and aligned with business objectives.
3) Measurement that goes beyond satisfaction surveys
We use RII (Resilience Impact Index) to track outcomes across key performance dimensions and report progress in a board-ready format.

Confidentiality you can rely on
Coaching is confidential within legal limits. Where organisational reporting is included, it’s anonymised and aggregated — no personal disclosures, no identifying detail.
Quality assurance that holds up
At Lumarrae we support our coaches with the same dedication we give to our clients and programme participants:
In short: Lumarrae coaching is ethical, secure, and built to deliver outcomes — not box-ticking.
