Life Coaching

  • Do you feel like you are holding yourself back?
  • Are you lacking direction or going round life in circles?
  • Have you noticed patterns of things that ‘always happen to you’?

Sometimes we can appear happy and successful on the outside but inside are craving for life to be different.  Hoping to make changes to create real results whether this is in your relationships, work/life balance or just generally feeling a sense of true purpose in this life.

What is Life Coaching?

Consider it a professional association or friendship where you will be working with someone (a coach) to help you navigate life (your life).

The Coach is trained in areas to understand why you are stuck where you are, they know what questions to ask you to really get you thinking and more importantly they know how to help you set actions and achieve your goals.  Your coach is inspiring, enthusiastic yet will also make sure they challenge your usual state of thinking.

Your Life Coach helps navigate your thinking and  approach situations and tasks differently.  The results can be profound.  You learn to replace ‘should’ with ‘could’ and ‘must’ with ‘may’.  You open up new channels of thinking and you decide on what course of action is best for your life.

Life coaching is not counselling.  Life Coaching is about focussing on the future and taking positive steps to making that future a reality.

How does it work?

  • You choose to catch up with your Coach fortnightly or monthly.
  • Working together you will define a plan of what needs to be done in order to move towards your goal, you will have a strategic plan that will help you complete your actions.
  • You will review your actions with your coach – what has worked, what has not and set about new tasks to complete for the next session.
  • We will celebrate every little success and challenge those difficult situations.

The experience will be:

  • Positive – it is important that your journey is a positive experience and every win is celebrated.
  • Challenging – who said it’d be easy to change habits? Through powerful questioning techniques you
  • will have new insights into your area of focus that will shift life up a gear.
  • Teamwork – my role is to guide you through your coaching journey – everyone’s experience is different and you should view me as your mentor, adviser and, ultimately, your navigator of change.

What kind of coaching is available?

Life coaching can mean different things for different people.  I have supported a number of people in the past with a variety of coaching programs including:

Motherhood - learning how to make the experience of becoming a new mum a positive one, minimising fear and instilling confidence for change that comes with the arrival of a new baby.

Enhancing Relationships – whether there are problems with a family member or personal relationship, I have supported people to enhancing relationships, being able to speak up, not feel suffocated by immediate family or friends.

Confidence – giving people the chance to really let their confidence shine through and start to do things differently.  This has paid off for many clients not only in their personal lives but also their careers.

These are just an example of what my previous clients have wanted to work on.  You may have a different need.  Contact me to discuss how I can support you and start making a difference to your life.

Client Testimonials

Here’s what Angela had to say about her Life Coaching experience:

I came to see Sal with some real roadblocks as far as my career, my abilities, my belief in myself and my life in general, that I had been carrying around for years, not knowing how to overcome them. Throughout my sessions with Sal she really cleared the path for me to be able to think about what I really want in my life, how to go about finding that, and gave me the direction and drive to do something about it. By challenging me and asking questions that I had previously try to avoid, the sessions were the turning point to totally change my career direction for the better – and in turn, change my life for the better. I feel like I’ve come such a long long way from my first session, and am so excited about my new path and the possibilities I have.

Here is what Romy had to say about her Life Coaching experience

Thanks a million for everything over the past few weeks. You have brought out the confidence that was in me and given me the push to ask questions I would have usually shied away from.

Here is what Rachel had to say about her Motherhood Coaching experience:

I enlisted the professional services of Sal at Nourish Coaching after discovering I was pregnant with my second child.  After just surviving the battle of the first sleepless year of my difficult firstborn son’s life – it was devastating news to learn I was again pregnant.  I was petrified we might have another baby like our first, and have to try and manage the same sort of problems of colic and sleeplessness all over again – but this time with a very high energy toddler & a new baby.  I honestly couldn’t see how it was going to work.  I was still reeling and not yet recovered from the first year of parenthood.  I was absolutely dreading my inevitable future – a future that should have been filled with excitement & happiness.

Prior to becoming a mother, I had spent many years as an elite athlete – having even won a Silver Medal at the Olympic Games.  From my years working with Sports Psychology as an elite athlete, I inherently knew that if I did not do something about my attitude, my mental state and my levels of happiness and satisfaction – I was on a one way track to serious Post Natal Depression with the impending birth of child #2.  This was not a place I cared to venture. Enter Sal and Nourish Coaching!  Sal and I set about mapping, planning and visualising all aspects of the coming phase in my life that I was so dreading.  I treated it like a race I was planning to win.  A coach of mine used to always say “Failing to plan is planning to fail”…  his words rang true.  So we planned and plotted my way out of the hole I was in, and schemed and designed the future.  Here I am now.  It’s been nearly five months since the birth of my second child, and the work Sal & I put in has delivered in a big way.

By the final trimester of the pregnancy I was finally in a place where I was looking forward to the birth of my second child, but I still had a sense of trepidation – planned and ready though I may have been!  By the time he was born I even surprised myself with how calm, relaxed and focused I was.  I can honestly say that life after his birth has been an absolute joy.  All of the areas of my life Sal & I had worked on are now functioning as they should be, and improving rapidly beyond my expectations.  I have found an enjoyable sense of contentment and peace as a mother.  I absolutely love being the mother to my two boys now.  I can’t believe the difference in my own self.  I attribute this positive change in my life to my decision to ask for help with Sal, and to take up the challenge of Life Coaching.  My commitment to the program has paid off with dividends still coming in all the time!

I would highly recommend Sal & Nourish to anyone who knows they could be getting more out of life.  Whether you need help on professional or a personal level, or both – Sal’s program & her personality, support, passion & enthusiasm offer enormous benefit.  It’s up to you!  You need to decide to take the first step & ask for some help to get to wherever it is you want to go!
