Together we will elevate our South Australian women of today and our women of the future.
Since 2017, SA Woman has been here to create impact and shine a light on the contributions of women in South Australia and on the future, our girls.
We believe that all South Australian women and girls deserve the opportunities to forge their own path, in a business or in a career. We believe that connection is key to a sense of belonging, encouragement and empowerment. We believe that “we can’t be, what we can’t see”, and sharing the stories and paths of the women who walk beside us, is key to elevating the status of our women and girls and empowering us all to unleash our potential. .
“We can’t be, what we can’t see. SA Woman is here to show all women and girls what is possible.”
Meet an SA Woman.
Our members are the beating heart of all we do and believe in our vision of an empowered and equal future for our women and girls. Read and be inspired by a selection below or head to our directory to search and connect with a South Australian Woman.

Lilly Jones – Patch Foundry
I’ve had the pleasure of working with a variety of small and big clients, locally, nationally and internationally. Helping them build and grow their brands through thoughtful design, marketing, and websites that actually work. I’ve played the role of designer, developer, copywriter, photographer, videographer, marketing coordinator, project manager, and more. I also share what I’ve learnt along the way as an online tutor at UniSA Online, and on-campus tutor at UniSA where I teach students the ins and outs of web design and digital media.
I love collaborating with businesses to strengthen their online presence and find fresh, practical ways to solve problems, big or small. When I’m not designing websites, you’ll find me playing soccer, at the local farmers’ markets, spending time with friends and family, walking my dog or enjoying the beach.
Diala Jamal – own your life
I’m Diala Jamal, a Holistic Health & Mindset Coach passionate about helping women unlock their potential and create lasting change. My journey started in radiography, but my personal battle with malabsorption, chronic fatigue, and lack of direction led me on a path of true healing.
Now, as a certified Ayurvedic consultant and mindset coach, I help women discover their unique body type, restore balance, release trapped emotions, overcome past traumas, and break free from habits that hold them back. My biggest conviction comes from my own transformation—proof that you can move from merely surviving to thriving with purpose and vitality.
I love connecting with women who crave more for their life, as well as referral partners who share my mission to inspire holistic well-being. Let’s join forces to help others feel healthy, motivated, and unstoppable.
Jenny Davies – A J’s Simply Latex
When you first meet me I can be a little quiet and reserved, until I get to know people then I relax. I am fun loving, happy and easy going person who love a challenge and is always willing to help.
15 years ago I packed up my home and life into six boxes and made the big move, on my own, to SA to start a new relationship and have been happily married for 14 years. I have two grown up children, from my previous marriage, now 36 and 39 who chose to remain in the UK, both have happy in life and have successful careers.
Before leaving the UK I worked for a leisure/hospitality company as Business manager firstly at a gallery and craft centre and then a leisure centre. I love technology, am an Apple fanatic, and had always dreamt of working for them. That dream came true in 2013 when I was lucky enough to join an amazing team for the opening of the new Apple Store in Adelaide.
When I retired, in 2018, I imagined spending my time gardening, collecting cacti, playing video games, being Treasurer for the Cactus and Succulent Society, maybe taking up a craft and enjoying the beautiful environment I live in, just having a relaxing time. But that’s not me as I soon discovered that this wasn’t enough, I needed more, I got restless and bored, so I put together a plan to start up an online business.
