reviews

“I've figured out I am my business and if I’m not functioning, my business is not functioning. I’ve uncovered attitudes and expectations I have of myself, that I wouldn’t have of anyone else and I save all these things as a rod to beat myself with. Now, I can observe my own habits and behaviours in the moment, call them out, use your tools and techniques to not self-sabotage and come at things in a really positive way, instead of telling myself, counterproductively, 'I'm sh*t and I need to get better'. I've come a long way.”

She has a special knack of realising the questions you need to be asked without you even realising these things matter...

Sandra helped me unpick the parts of my mindset that were most limiting me. In this case, my relentless inner critical voice, to stop it from running the show and allow other parts of myself to shine through.

​

In the space of a few months, I experienced more inner clarity and mental headspace than I'd had in more than 30 years! I even chose to extend our time together. 

​

I love her kindness, clarity and boundaries and the way she would set tasks to gently drive me forward whilst giving me permission to take the time I needed to get it done. She really is a remarkable human and I'm truly glad to have worked with her.

Sandra asks all the questions that you don't think you can answer, but she does so in an empathetic way, and makes you realise that you had the answer all along. This is very self-affirming and it ultimately frees you to be autonomous. That for me is Sandra's main strength: the fact that she is truly enabling and she doesn't get you to pay for a long programme of coaching if you don't really feel you need it.

V., Cambs, England

I came to you feeling unfulfilled even with the success in my career, life and  business. I knew I was about to embark on a tough journey of self-exploration and trusted you from the minute we first spoke. You approached the sessions in a different way to what I had experienced before and this really helped me to discover my truths, my values and ultimately my purpose. I've discovered what puts fire in my belly! Thank you.

I contacted Sandra at a time when I felt completely at sea. Everything felt overwhelming and I wanted to get some clarity on what I was doing going forward but had no idea where to start. 

​

In the first session, she listended at length and gently  held the space for all the bottled emotions to come out. This alone was worth so much - a watershed in a safe, reassuring space. 

​

Each subsequent sesion has helped me find a new perspective on my life and in turn, this has helped me move forwards. Sandra's also very down to earth and totally non-judgemental so if you need a calm port in your stormy-life, I can highly recommend her.

From the beginning of my work with Sandra, it has been world changing. I went from utter chaos of not knowing how I wanted to proceed with my life and business to an ordered sense of self, a business to focus on and creating new exciting opportunities. The work we did together is the reason I have been able to get a lot of aspects of my life under control...

A., Cambs, England

I didn't realise what Sandra did was so incisive and swift - I thought I needed to work througn everything in a linear fashion. Sandra gets straight to the core of the matter by listening carefully and unpicking to get to the source of the problem.

K., Midlands, England

Sandra has a very kind and balanced approach to her coaching. She is an impeccable listener, and picks up on important points, whilst you talk, that perhaps haven't even occurred to you... I learnt a lot about the reasons 'why' I was stopping myself from moving forward from my past and present situation. There were things we discovered together that I hadn't really factored into my inability to 'follow through' with my goals and dreams. Sandra helped me see that I didn't have to let past experiences hold me back or shape my future.

S, SE England

I didn't want someone to coach me on being more salesy or how to market my business. What I needed was a strong foundation that I could build on.

​

Sandra provided this and guided me to find my own truth for how I want to live and structure my business that aligns with who I truly am and what I truly want. 

​

She gave me the concrete tools to use that have helped me to be more confident and focused. I got so much out of our sessions and feel completely renewed and empowered.
