“I knew I had to start doing something about my mental and physical health but had no idea where to start. I did not want to follow a diet, tried a personal trainer and had councelling for years. A friend of mine suggested looking into coaching to become more aware of what I actually wanted out of life and my career. When I did a Google, an article on LinkedIn came up from Annette. She talked about Ayurveda and vitality, that health is wealth. I thought Ayurveda was about getting a massage and taking some supplements.
When Annette told me she offers a holistic coaching approach that leverages the consciousness philosophy of Ayurveda, I had no idea that even existed. I feel it is the best of both worlds. I get to learn about myself, my natural leadership qualities, my mind-body intelligence and what I need to feel healthy – mentally, physicaly and even spiritually. The coaching Annette offers is something else. She seems to really “get me.” After a few weeks I have started to move from a state of fear into a state of seeing possibilities. I feel more confident, self-aware and self-disciplined. Annette warned me about the radical changes that may start to happen because of our shared meditation practice and I am certainly seeing this unfold in my personal and professional life.”
John A. – Mechanical Engineer
“To eloquently find the words to describe the coaching experience with Annette… Oh, how I have grown the last few weeks in knowing and growing my self-awareness.
Being more intuitive to what makes me happy and brings me inner peace is something that I have struggled with for over 50 years due to being surrounded by a toxic childhood environment.
In gaining an understanding in what I don’t want anymore, I have gained clarity in what I am aligned to – being happy in the simple things. Annette has guided me to a sense of balance and serenity in my own mind and skin.
I feel that I have reached a milestone in my self-awareness and personal development, recovering some ground in my fragile mental health. Simply said ‘Annette, thank you’. Your guidance had a role to play in my present state of mind, in the clarity of my thoughts and words as I navigate life, in how I engage with others. I am truly honoured and grateful.”
Maylene H. – Financial Controller
“I decided to seek coaching as I was at the verge of burnout in my life and career. As an HR Manager I seem to be taking care of everyone else but myself. My role has become so demanding with all the new regulations and the forever barrage of issues to solve that I was not seeing things for what they were anymore. Annette offers very powerful coaching sessions with a strong focus on performance, as well as wellbeing.
During the coaching sessions I was able to take a step back, become more self-aware and honest about the demands of my role and the personal impact is has on me. With the guidance of Annette I have been able to create an action plan to help me move forward. Now I do not feel so overwhelmed and stressed as I know with Annette’s guidance I can take small steps towards my own wellbeing while also improving my self-leadership and the leadership my role demands of me.
I so very much love the mindful moments before each session and am now doing them behind my desk when I feel stressed or unable to focus. They also help me take a step back and observe before I act. So powerful.”
Lydia G. – HR Manager
“I was totally new to coaching as I was not sure that is what I actually needed. All I knew is that I was not happy in life and lacking a sense of purpose. Annette was referred to me by a friend as I was told she offers something very different to most coaches out there. Annette certainly does not offer run of the mill coaching. You can tell she has been coaching for years as she has this sort of “magical thing” that she seems to unpack excactly what needs to be unpacked. It is almost like she knows what I am thinking and feeling deep inside. Annette has also taught me to meditate with my own mantra called my ‘primordial sound’ and I now integrate this silent meditation as my stress management and self-care tool and that has changed my life in more ways than I could ever imagine. At work I feel less reactive, more focussed and sense that my performance has gone up. At home, my wife regularly tells me that I have changed, for the better, and I am starting to feel happier. I have decided to continue coaching with Annette on an as needs basis as one hour with her and I feel like I can take on the world again.”
Joe P. – Director
“I have had some amazing coaches before as even a coach needs a coach sometimes. Annette’s coaching was something else though. She has this presence about her that is powerful and nurturing all in the one. She was able to help me shift deep unconscious stuff that I did not think was possible. I feel that I am finally able to step into the leadership role I was meant to in my life as well as my business. Annette is one of those rare coaches who can take you to the dark side, see your shadow, embrace it and by turning on the light, helps you dissolve it. I am so grateful that she has come on my path.”
Paula D. – Life Coach
“Thank you for tonights coaching session. I’m still feeling brilliant. Happy as one can be and thank you for turning me inside out and allowing me to be vulnerable. I am starting to see my brand more clearly, what my business offers my clients and how I can reach my perfect client.”
Aroha B. – Entrepeneur
“I could not have asked for a better person to help me sort out my life. Annette understood what I needed and wanted and oh how she delivered. She was extremely insightful and guided me to understand myself inside and out. She was able to help me see my strenghts and abilities in a way I could not have done on my own. I now think in possibilities instead of problems which is new territory for me. I would recommend Annette to anyone seeking a coach that really works.”
Winnie F. – Senior Manager
“Today’s coaching session was powerful and I felt such a shift in myself. You helped me move through stuff that had been stuck and weighing me down for weeks, possibly years. I feel great and now feel like I can really start to focus on my business with more purpose and clarity.”
Sharon T. – Wellness Business Owner
“When I decided to get in touch with a coaching professional, I was sceptical about the outcome. After searching the internet, I decided to get in touch with Annette. She impressed me from the beginning with her approach of initial consultation, systematic eliciting my life goals and my growth areas. She had an open-ended way of dealing with me and asked relevant and pertinent questions. Now that I am seeing results in my life, I am really impressed. She has highlighted my capabilities whilst giving an excellent structure to my life.”
Sumi M. – IT Manager
“So thankful to connect with you in life and how you are helping peel my layers combining eastern practices and contemporary psychology. It is like a warm hug.”
Shalini G. – HR Manager
“I was keen to explore coaching and when I scheduled a call with Annette she guided me towards the Ayurvedic Well Being program. I am so impressed with how she totally knew what I needed. I just did my mind-body constitution test and was so surprised. It was spot on..”
Allison. P – People and Culture Manager
“Working on my business with Annette has been a game changer. Her business knowledge has a depth that is unprecedented. No matter what area of my business and leadership style I struggled with, she was able to offer ancedotal knowledge from lived experience, offered guidance and advise that was strategic and helped me develop a toolkit to elevate myself and my business to the next level. I realise that my executive presence starts with my Self.”
Dylan P. – General Manager
“Annette, thank you for all your guidance so far, I am very happy with how this coaching is working out. My first experience with you was very comforting as I felt a little nervous about it all. After talking with you at our first meeting I felt very comfortable and relaxed about my decisions to start working on my future self. I can now reflect on myself more than I realised was possible and I like to thank you for putting things into words where I was not able to. I would not hesitate on referring you to anyone I talk to in the future as I have already done. Thank you again.”
Madeleine S. – Principal
“Thank you so much for all your guidance with finding my next career. I love how you really listened to me and I am very impressed not only with your discernment but your professionalism as a person. I really enjoyed our sessions and came away with a renewed sense of my capabilities and the possibilities in regards to future employment. I also felt heard, appreciated, and valued by you. I will be highly recommending your services to my friends and colleagues and will definitely be in touch in the future for some further help with my career transitions.”
Tanya B. – Head of Arts Department
“I felt like I was having an existential crisis as I was hitting 50 and was not having fun in life or at work. I lacked direction, wanted to give up my marriage and even change careers completely. I found Annette through an article on LinkedIn and it sounded like she knew what I was talking about so I decided to get the two In Bloom focus sessions. Oh my, that turned me upside down, inside out and around. I wanted more and more. I have now been working with Annette for 3 months and I can’t describe my gratitude. I am starting to love my life, feel a sense of purpose again and understand that a lot of what I am going through is part of my peri-menopause. I never even understood what this stuff was all about untill Annette offered my guidance and clarity.”
Loren S. – Senior Executive
