As a life/personal development/wellness coach, personal trainer, ex nurse, company director and a mother,
grandmother, partner, I strive to practice what I coach by incorporating my passions into my life.
What are my passions? - People, family, well-being, fitness and health, small business, and working with
individuals and corporates assisting them achieve results. My goal is to help people from all backgrounds
and cultures, from teenagers to adults, to achieve their life's purpose.
Although I loved nursing and the people contact, I became frustrated with seeing the same patients coming
in getting "fixed" and not heeding advice and returning soon after with the same conditions or worse.
I decided I wanted to be the ambulance at the top of the cliff and not at the bottom.
Preventative is the solution
I love walking the talk and exercise - walks in the bush with Harry my Border Collie, tennis, golf, paddle
boarding the waves, and skiing. I work on my emotions and soul, practicing Energy Medicine, Chi gong,
meditation, breathing techniques and I'm open to learning other healthy modalities. I eat clean food and
as much as possible grow my own vegetables and eat as many vegetables as I can with minimal meat. I
still enjoy fish, chicken and lamb.
Holistic - Emphasising the importance of the whole and the interdependence of its parts, looking at the
body, mind and soul for wellness.
Mauri tū mauri ora An active soul is a healthy soul
Addiction & Family Coaching/Counselling
Addiction affects many more people than the addict. We work with the addict but also with families or anyone affected by the effects of addiction.
I work in conjunction with addiction therapists. We work on the WHY and WHAT NEXT with a GAME PLAN to help those out of the addiction nightmare.
We coach/counsel people with addictions and substance abuse. Using a unique blend of life coaching and addiction counselling/therapy strategies, we are having positive results and feedback.
I previously partnered with Red Door Recovery, a programme designed to treat problems associated with substance abuse and addiction. Methamphetamine (P) and alcohol feature heavily.
I am here to help anyone suffering from:
-
Alcohol abuse
-
Substance abuse
-
Social Media addiction
-
Gaming addiction
-
Workaholic
-
Smoking
-
Those with a family member suffering from addiction
