my coaching style

My coaching style is an integration of the latest in evidence-based psychology research, ancient yogic wisdom, meditation tools and resources and a whole lot of unconditional love and respect for you and your unique and wonderful journey.

My background consists of over 10 years studying and working in the field of yoga, psychology and well-being. I am a Masters level trained coach and positive psychology practitioner, have worked as a counsellor, and in the education and training sector, and I am an 800 hour Certificate IV yoga and meditation teacher with an additional Level 2 Integrative Restoration (iRest) meditation training certificate.

What to expect from a session

My coaching philosophy is humanistic and client-centered. I believe that you are whole and perfect, that you have an abundance of wisdom, peace and joy within you, and that you are the expert (the guru) of your own life. During a coaching session I will support you to set intentions and goals and hold space for you to explore your current reality and the limitations that are holding you back. I will then introduce techniques and gentle guidance to uncover answers (your inner wisdom) that will support you to move forward and get closer to your true nature and realise your heart-felt desires.

Each session varies depending on your own unique life circumstances and journey. However, common areas of focus include; finding clarity when it comes to your life’s purpose, navigating tumultuous/stressful times, working through big decisions and life changes, deepening your relationship with yourself, prioritising self-care, recognising and moving through blockages and limiting beliefs, accessing inner peace and calm amidst life’s stressors, living an optimal life and accessing happiness and joy daily.

Coaching sessions are 60 minutes long and take place from my therapy room in Wellington, NZ or online from anywhere in the world. The investment for one-to-one coaching with me is $180 NZD p/session with a full session included free when you pre-pay five sessions in advance.
