Where, when and how often?

You decide how often and long you want to spend. Usually 1 hour sessions are recommended, but can be reduced to less if wanted.  I can work with you in my office, by phone, Zoom or Skype, or at my gym in Ngaio.

  
Life Coaching can be on-going or several sessions.  Generally, sessions start off weekly and then fortnightly or by arrangement as you progress. Where relevant, I use tools from:

​

NLP:  Neuro-Linguistic Programming, a name that encompasses the three most influential components involved in producing human experience: neurology, language and programming. The neurological system regulates how our bodies function, language determines how we interface and communicate with other people and our programming determines the kinds of models of the world we create. Neuro-Linguistic Programming describes the fundamental dynamics between mind (neuro) and language (linguistic) and how their interplay affects our body and behavior (programming).

​

EFT Tapping has deep roots in ancient Chinese acupressure and modern psychology that taps on meridian points to release blockages and allow energy flow. It addresses the core of living beliefs and moves towards new beliefs. Works with a wide variety of issues:  physical pain, to weight loss, to money issues, to childhood trauma, phobias, addictions, fears etc.)

"Put away your skepticism this really works"  Dr Wayne Dwyer.

​

Energy Psychology/Medicine: Our bodies are, in essence, but a collection of energy systems and that there are ways to naturally and systematically reclaim our health and vitality. 

​

Mindfulness Advantages: Learning to be more present and self aware.  Reduce stress and feel better, less reactive and greater sense of freedom. Exercising Mindfulness is as effective as medication (without the side effects) for mild to moderate depression.

​

Breathing Techniques:  Deep breathing can release stress and provide other noticeable health benefits. You will likely feel calmer after performing deep breathing exercises, and may trade feelings of anger or fear for a focused, relaxed state of mind. Deep breathing is sometimes used to treat anxiety disorders, sleep problems and even general body aches and pains.

​

Te Whare Tapa Wha: My holistic approach is looking at the whole person and following Te Whare Tapa Wha model for Māori health and wellbeing. That is all four pou: Taha Wairua (spiritual), Taha Tinana (physical), Taha hinengaro (mental) and Taha Whanau (family connection, eating together builds connection). The aim to learn strategies to keep your own mauri (life essence) balanced.

​

A wise person once said, “declare your mission and then live it!” 

In order to ensure you do that I expect from you:

​

• dedication to finding out what your particular ‘mission’ is 

• accountability for actions you commit to

• be honest

• be prepared to make changes

​

In return you can expect from me:

​

• the truth at all times

• advice and support for you to achieve results

• total confidentiality

• an environment to inspire, encourage growth and progress and propel you to reach much higher levels of discovery and achievement
