Is this you?
You have a long-held dream. There something you’ve always wanted to do but it’s never seemed the right time. Now you are a bit freer and want to look at it properly. It’s hard to get clarity on what it might be.
There’s a vision you want to put out into the world as a project or business.
Do you feel like this?
- Overwhelmed
- Your mind goes round and round with barriers and reasons why not
- Imposter syndrome is sabotaging getting started
- You fear what other people will think
- Your inner critic the worst
How would it feel…
…to get clarity on your vision?
…to make some beginning steps and gain confidence
…to work creatively, not striving for perfection but producing something authentically you?
Coaching with me will help you:
- Acknowledge that to begin with you don’t know where you are going and it’s confusing that’s ok
- Tease out the golden threads of your experience, skills and qualities to know your firm base going forward we celebrate all that!
- Further identify your strengths and values for confidence and to underpin what you might put out into the world
- Frame your vision in all its inspiration and work on bringing it to fruition
- Take a clear and realistic look at the barriers, and be creative around them
I will
- Be your champion alongside and support you unconditionally
- Help you uncover the resources within and around you to step forward with courage
- Facilitate you to become your own coach and mentor
This is why I can help you
I know that starting something new takes creativity and courage. I also know that feeling of being stifled in a life that doesn’t fit any more. I know what it’s like to start out from your old life, as if on a bridge to the new, but not know exactly where it will land. I will be alongside you as you wonder about the risk and make steps forward.
I bring an advanced diploma in life and business coaching and experience with women starting and building their life-work to the next stage. As a yoga teacher, spiritual director and celebrant, I bring perspectives on life-work with meaning.
This is how I will help you
Through radical listening, reflecting and questions we explore your dreams and ideas. As appropriate, we use gentle breathwork and short meditations to slow the mind and make space.
Some sessions might involve easy somatic yoga moves and/or yoga nidra to move out of the busy pre-frontal cortex into intuitive parts of your body-mind, to bring fresh insight.
And/or we sit and talk. With journalling techniques and classic coaching tools, you’ll drill down for greater clarity and self-knowledge.
This is why it’s important
The poet Mary Oliver puts it so beautifully (and accurately):
what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?
Life is too short to bumble through wondering. Family and friends may support you, but they may not see the true you that is waiting to be expressed. Quite often they want you to stay the same. Growth is our birthright.
Is it time to grow more into your true, authentic self?

This is me & this is how it works
In perimenopause and once my children had left home I felt free. There was a transition phase and then the vision bubbled up. But I lacked confidence and courage. Who was I to found a retreat place? Since then the vision has grown and VG is in it’s 10th year, established and supporting me and the women who come here. The visioning mindset is key to how I work. And, as I transition into the next nine years, I have visioned radically again, incorporating work around diagnosis, death and dying.
I’ve been there: what’s your vision?

Progress and momentum
Via zoom or in person we work in batches of four sessions usually at fortnightly intervals.
We’ll establish an arc of outcome for the work together – held in a spirit of curiosity.
We’ll agree on goals as ways of creative exploration between sessions.
Over the arc of the sessions we’ll take time to evaluate and celebrate the process. Yay!
And on January 2nd 2026 there is an Online New Year Hopes and Plans Day Retreat. This can be a great start to your 2026 Visions journey. Attendance at this means you can claim 10% off a set of four coaching sessions if you book in within a month.
And in September 2026 there is this Visions yoga and coaching retreat at Equinox. It’s an opportunity to consolidate and extend the work you’ve already done, or start that Visions journey.
