unblocking / unlocking / uncovering / excavating / inviting opportunity
Would you benefit from a sounding board to offload, reflect and seek feedback?
A space for learning through reflection and connection?
Do you want space to soften and be heard, to investigate your interior, with a view to leaving a bit refreshed, with a wider perspective of yourself?
One-on-one Sessions
I offer one-on-one sessions to explore learning and change. We work from a growth perspective rather than a therapeutic ‘problem to fix’ approach. We have an initial meeting to discuss how we will work together. If that feels aligned, I ask you to commit to five sessions. These can be every 1-3 weeks, for one or two hours, as arranged prior. We can meet online, over the phone or in-person in Whangarei.
The strengths I offer are...
Pattern recognition, I see pathways/clarity in the complex.
Synthesis, I can combine ideas to make something new.
Empathy, I understand what others feel.
The training I draw from...
Anouk Graav, Spirited Leadership
Chalice Malcom, Wildheart
Teina & Ngapaki Moetara, Ruku Po
Jane Cunningham, Facing the Minotaur
Genevieve Simperingham, Peaceful Parenting
BMS, University Waikato
About me
For years I was told to ‘try harder’. I felt I was already trying pretty hard. I had become hard. My inner work revealed another way. I sought to ‘try softer’. Softer to myself, to those around me and that which I brush up against. Approaching with compassion and generosity, firstly to myself, has been a game changer. I am not a problem that needs fixing, I am an evolving, imperfect, complex masterpiece.
People I have worked with have said...
"I come away from the sessions feeling lighter and energised and full of hope. You help me decipher what I am trying to get to - to uncover what is just beneath the surface or sometimes further down but deeply important - to solidify direction and super objectives in a very practical way so that I can apply it to the details of my everyday life."
"You help me to understand change is within reach. You listen to me rambling and then feed it back to me in a way that is useful and wise. You help me to truth and honesty with myself. What I discover in your sessions is surprising but then not a surprise at the same time because it makes so much sense and it feels like it comes from me. You are like a conduit - so you are not imposing something on top - you are helping to uncover and excavate what I already know."
"Practically - it is helping me to - get closer to the life I want to lead, let go of work and activity in my life that is using up too much energy and invite more of the potent juicy things in that I want. You are also helping me to shift my attitude about the work I have to do so that I can reframe it and reapproach it. Also to strategise towards things and have a framework to make decisions about work inside (which is useful in a freelance existence). Helping me to make decisions has been a big part of it. You have helped me with a strategy out of places I feel stuck."
"Also to give me more tools and selfcare around my roles that require me to lead and hold groups of people. Having a space to analyse and debrief about sessions that I have lead or taught has been an intense relief and made me feel safer and more energised about the work I do. I didn't really know what leadership coaching was and now I really get it and wish I had come to it earlier!"
"I think you have said before which is probably at the heart of it - reducing the things that are depleting my energy and inviting more opportunities that give me energy. I appreciate that you understand everything is a slow process of change but also sometimes change can happen very quickly in a session when something has been unlocked or uncovered."
"You see and feel deeply into yourself. You see and feel deeply into others - this helps them see themselves."
"You stand for the greatness in others, often with great courage - and this brings alive the courage in others."
"You see people's wholeness, and stand for their potential -this gives people confidence and space for their own process of becoming."
"You come alongside others with your voice and your presence - this helps bring attention to that which life has made ready for people."
"You enable light and life to emerge in the people and settings around you - this puts people at ease and brings a levity and lightness to deep work."
"You bring wisdom from beyond what is currently defined by a person or group - in doing so, you help them remember their own wisdom."
"You practice a disciplined, rigorous open-ness, staying open to the natural world and the forces within & around you - in this way, I see you are of the in-between, perhaps similar to how a bridge belongs to neither bank of the river but to both? And not to both, and also to its own space, at once."
"You yield power gently - disturbing the universe towards what it is becoming, this helps to show others with clarity and through example what it means to commit to growth and change ."
"You clearly articulate that which is currently unseen or unformed - the effect of this is hope in times when others may feel lost. In that articulation you help to plant seeds for the future and to build bridges between worlds, between what is now and what is to come."
"You choose in moments to belong to anything and everything and this helps anything and everything to belong.
"You understand humour, this helps to put a spring in the step of those whose paths you cross."
"You embody life and you bring life, and you do this through both light and shadow."
"You have a knack of timing, sensing when to move, and when to hold back."
"You understand patience, allowing things to move in their own time."
"You cut carrots like a motherf***ing jedi zen ninja warrior goddess."
