Testimonial Life Coach

When my friend first suggested a certified professional life coach mid 2024, I was already feeling that my untethered and oddly isolated lifestyle was no longer serving me, and my coping mechanisms were fuelling disconnect, self-doubt and stagnation.

Years of emotional distress, physical pain and the abrupt ending of my life as I knew it; my career, my business, where I was living, physical exercise and the community that gave me, all of that as I knew it was over.

I googled ‘life coach’ and while Anna’s was one of the first I looked at, the mind/body connection in her bio was enough for me to send that inquiry and have a phone conversation with her.

In that phone call Anna said “everything you need is inside you’, and as a retired Osteopath and having long held that view, it resonated so deeply with me that I booked in for a 1:1 right away.

Anna is brilliant at meeting you where you are and guiding you back to yourself. This experience in self compassion, in understanding who you are, not what the external noisy world has made you think you are, is priceless. Even the ‘bad’ behaviours I knew were not good for me, when she helped uncover the root need from which that behaviour stems, it feels like a weight is lifted because you can see yourself through the lens of love and kindness, not shame or guilt.

There wasn’t one specific realisation or ‘ah-ha’ moment in the 5months I worked with Anna when things began to turn around for me, it was the collection of 1-1’s, group chats, personal reflection and using the workbook which coalesced into a beautiful shift in myself, my perception and my relationship to the world.

So, do it! If you looking for a coach, and it feels like Anna is for you, do it! You can find one hundred ways to talk yourself out of it, so acknowledge there will be awkwardness and some discomfort, but the lightbulb moments, the awareness, the compassion, for self and others, and the growth, emotional, spiritual and physical, outweigh the former 1:1000000000.

About M.O.V.E

I am a hyper-independent person, so I was surprised by how much more impactful the group coaching Anna offers with M.O.V.E. was for me.

I think it is too easy, especially when we know we need help, to disregard the importance of sharing in this experience. I found the sharing of perspective, perception and ideas was invaluable.

The ladies in my group were all so very different, however we all had common ground; we all wanted to be the best versions of ourselves. And with each week that went by walls came down, preconceived ideas were dropped (we all do it), ego stepped aside, comparisons fade and we could just be honest and open all the while being listened to and held in a space by others that have our back.

I have many beautiful friends, friends who will drop anything for me and I for them at a moments notice, but there is something about coaching, especially with ‘strangers’ which allows for deeper reflection, connection and sharing of joy.
