12-Week Fast Start Personal Coaching
This short programme is designed to kick-start your personal transformation and bring clarity on your current situation as we uncover the changes you need to make to create that transformation.
Please note these descriptions are just a guide. The programme is tailored to the individual, but broadly follows these lines.
Coaching is a process to help you identify and understand your challenges, let go of beliefs and such like that hold you back, and find new strategies and ways of acting.
I will ask a lot of questions, and from to time, with your permission I’ll offer my insights to help develop your insight and awareness.
I may recommend concepts and resources which could support you.
We’ll explore recurring patterns of behaviour and experience.
I’ll use a range of tools, techniques and resources to help you get your desired results, including NLP,
Huna (Hawaiian Spiritual and energetic practices – if appropriate) hypnosis, Time Line work,
Voice Dialogue, modern psychological approaches, neuroscience, biology, somatic work
(working with the body, because it is a very powerful tool for building awareness and
releasing ‘stuff’) and ancient approaches.
My aim is to be pragmatic, and I will challenge you if your thinking seems stuck or unhelpful.
Structure Of The Programme
We have 6 calls of up to 1.5 hours (7 if you have paid in full).
The first call is a deep dive to dig more deeply into what the challenge is and identify what you want out of the programme.
The second session starts by focussing on your values relating to whatever area of life we are working on, so you can really understand your deeper motivation in this area. Then we look at what is relevant for you and focus attention on that. We will continue to dig into the problem to understand it better, and to help you let go of things that hold you back.
Sessions 2-6 are tailored to helping you get new insights about your challenge, let go of
blocks that are holding you back, and identify what actions you need to take/where you
need to focus moving forward.
After each session we will generally identify some ‘homework’ for you to deepen your
insights or kickstart new changes you want to put in place. We work together on this – so
it’s not a question of me insisting. And I will offer you accountability.
Timing depends on what works for us both. Generally, sessions will be 2-3 weeks apart to allow time for you to integrate new insights and put in place new behaviours.

Why Work With Me?
I’m passionate about the development of coaches, and about seeing coaching as a healing modality. We talk about transformational coaching, and transformation is
fastest when accompanied by healing. Coaching isn’t therapy, but really good coaching does create change that is profoundly therapeutic.
My original background was in the corporate world. Sales and Marketing, and Management Consultancy (moving from IT to Business Strategy to HR). I didn’t acknowledge the existence of energy until I started studying Huna in my early ’40s, even when I studied massage as a side hustle!
I have been coaching for over 25 years, which makes me one of the most experienced coaches in UK, and have undertaken a wide range of coach-training programmes over that time, starting with certifications in NLP, Time Line Therapy™ and Hypnosis up to Trainer level. I have worked as an Executive coach in the public, private and 3rd sectors, and was one of the first in-house coaches at One of many™, coaching women individually and in groups for 6 years. I co-designed the One of many™ Trainers’ Certification for Women Coaches. I am also a trained coach supervisor, and have been training and assessing coaches since 2001.
Since 1999, I have been studying (and later teaching) Huna, the spiritual, energetic and healing practices of the ancient Hawaiians.
If NLP got me out of clinical depression, Huna has kept me out of it. Huna has given me many tools for coaching mastery, in particular developing my spiritual nature and the wisdom that comes with that; dealing with my baggage so clients don’t trigger me; working with energy to profoundly accelerate and deepen the transformation my clients’ experience; and developing my intuition so I have a strong sense of a client’s reality.
My PhD is in Spirituality and Leadership, and in 2020 I was proud to be awarded the status of ‘Kumu’ – Teacher – of Huna. This is like an honorary PhD, awarded for dedication and expertise in the field of Huna. I am one of the very few Kumu Hunas on the planet.
