Coaching is Magic
Why do I call coaching “magic”?
Because I truly believe it has the power to transform lives. But not all coaching is the same. Some types of coaching are practical and structured—like learning how to cook or following a fitness routine. You go from point A to point B, and the results are clear.
But mindset coaching? It’s different. It’s not just about following a linear path. It’s about discovering the invisible forces that shape your life, often without you even realising it.
The magic lies in the revelations that come from exploring how we are constantly creating and limiting our lives through our thoughts and beliefs.
What you see around you is a reflection of what’s going on inside.
Want to grow your business? Change your work? Lose weight? Quit drinking? Take up exercise? Cultivate more joy and abundance? Build deeper relationships?
These desires aren’t about actions; they’re reflections of your inner world. Change the driving belief, and the action changes automatically.
Mindset coaching uncovers how we often perceive problems as being external, yet when we dig deeper, we realise that we’ve been creating or allowing them through our own thoughts and reactions.
And here’s the magic part: there’s always something we can do to shift, empower ourselves, and start creating the life we truly want.
Is Mindset Spiritual?
Truth be told, everyone has a mindset—and not everyone is spiritually inclined, right?
But in the context of coaching with me, yes, mindset is a spiritual toolbox. I’ve walked a path filled with magical synchronicities that I couldn’t have created if I’d tried.
And when we connect with our inner self, our truth, that’s when the wheels start turning, and our lives shift in the most miraculous ways.
In coaching, I’m here to support your dreams and your potential, helping you tap into the part of you that knows who you truly are and what you’re meant to do in this lifetime.
This organic process shifts how you create your life.
Along the way, I’ll share tools, tips, and techniques to empower you for the future—arming you with everything you need to avoid slipping back into old patterns.
Who Am I, to Mentor You?
I’ve walked through many transitions in my life: from smoker to non-smoker, vegetarian to vegan, eating gluten to purely gluten-free; from a mindset of scarcity to one of abundance, and from living to please others to stepping into my own power—living on my terms, guided by what feels true to me.
Here is a brief resume of just a few of the transformations I’ve lived in recent years, and I share them not to brag, but to give you an idea of my experience in shifting our beliefs.
All of these were previously impossible because of my own limiting beliefs.
2023
This was possibly one of the first times I intentionally set out to break a limiting belief, and I should probably thank my daughter for this breakthrough. We took an arm-balancing course, and I learned how to do a handstand – I’m no expert, and I still need to be close to a wall to feel safe, but I broke through the limiting belief that I would never stand on my hands because I was too old. And I dared to join the course in the first place, something which put me right out of my comfort zone in the beginning.
2023-2024
Towards the end of the summer of 2023, I received a diagnosis of hypothyroidism and was prescribed Levothyroxine – to be taken daily, for life. However, I wanted to give my body every possible chance to heal itself before going down the road of medicine, so I came up with a (somewhat radical) health protocol, including daily ice-water bathing.
For the winter of 2023-2024, I set myself the challenge to get into the icy cold water every day, regardless of weather or temperature, and to stay in the water for a total of 7 minutes. This took so much inner work to believe in myself enough to get into 6ºc water and breathe through it for 7 minutes every day. And also to go against the mainstream opinion, which would have been to take prescription medicine. (Just to be clear, I’m not suggesting others should not take their medicine; this was a personal call for me.)
I blew my mind every day as I stood with the cold water up to my chin and I succeeded in what would have seemed an impossible mission before this moment. I’ve always been someone who feels the cold (and with hypothyroidism, that is a symptom), so this was as far removed from my instinct as you could imagine.
My endeavours were rewarded when I successfully reversed the diagnosis and blew my mind for a second time.
2024
At the start of 2024, I decided to take my motorbike test, and I finally took the test on October 30th, 10 days before my 57th birthday!
There were shitloads of limiting beliefs involved in this one – from not spending money on myself, to being too old, to maybe I ‘couldn’t do it’, to ‘Am I good enough?’
The feeling when I passed my test was indescribable.
Just the best.
2025
Throughout the year of 2025, I discovered how much I loved riding the bike off-road, and I began my journey to freedom.
This transformation meant overcoming many more personal fears and limiting beliefs.
– Will I be able to do it?
– Can I go out alone?
– What if I crash?
– Am I too old?
2026
Finally, after a lifetime of prejudice/fear of going to the gym, I conquered my inner demons and joined the gym. And I can honestly say that I love it.
I’ve discovered that all my fears were based on ghosts. Hidden fears are floating around in my system without being identified and processed. Going to the gym daily, Mon-Fri, has been the best decision of this year so far.
We’re only in February as I write this, so I’m sure there’s plenty more room for busting more limiting beliefs this year, and I’m looking forward to having you walk alongside me in your own limiting-belief-busting championships.
You’re never too late to start doing the thing that sets you on fire.
Transformations
I’ve learned that transformation isn’t a straight line, but a beautiful, messy unfolding of who we’re truly meant to be. And after all this growth, I’ve come to realise that my true purpose is to help other people break free from what holds them back from creating a life they love—a life that feels expansive, fulfilling, and full of joy.
I believe we get stuck in an old identity – one which served us once upon a time, but which we’ve since outgrown. And as we grow, if our life doesn’t change to reflect that growth, we become frustrated, unfulfilled and consumed by feelings of being stuck.
It’s at these times when we tend to procrastinate, become less active and even self-sabotage our results.
I’m not here to tell you what to do. I’m here to walk alongside you, share what I’ve learned, and help you unleash the power you already have inside of you. Together, we’ll create the change you’re craving.
What Can I Help You to Transform?
Are you feeling stuck in a life that doesn’t set you on fire?
That is what my mission is – to help other people to step into joy and fulfilment by realising their dreams.
Often, when we want to create something new in our lives, it causes a disconnect, because to see a new life around us, we first have to step into being that person on the inside.
And that can be difficult.
We are not only creatures of habit, but we are also driven by our subconscious programming, which created the current life we have. So, how do we step out of being that person and step into being the updated version of ourselves?
That’s where I come in.
Together, we discover what’s holding you back and help create the bridges necessary for you to quantum leap into your new chosen identity.
Among other subjects, I’ve supported clients to…
- Get confidence and clarity to set up a new business venture
- Get clarity and confidence to leave their job and successfully find a more fulfilling one
- Create more abundance by improving their relationship to money and wealth
- Stop procrastinating around major decisions
- Improve the quality of the relationship with their other half

- Get clarity on what they actually want from life
