Coaching with Heather

Let's go!

Master Health and Mental Health coaching for women at a turning point. When the old life stops fitting, and you’re ready to find out who you are now.

You’re done with putting yourself last - and you’re not willing to lose yourself in what’s next. That’s the work we do together. Confidence built from the inside out, and a way back to the centre of your own life.

Whatever stage you’re at, the work underneath is the same. We start with telling the truth to ourselves about where you are NOW. Kind and brave seeing, without flinching. We practice self-compassion, especially where you’ve been hardest on yourself. And we work with your mind and body together.

For the emerging adult years: Who am I, when I’m standing on my own two feet?

For when you’re in the thick of it in your thirties and forties: How do I carry it all, without losing myself?

For midlife and beyond: Who am I, after tending everyone else?

How it works and what it costs

  • We start with a free chat, to see if my style is the right fit for you.

  • If coaching feels right, we usually begin with a series of six sessions. Some people prefer to keep it open, and some come once a month. It’s yours to shape.

  • Sessions are $225 for 50-60 minutes, online or in person in Havelock North. When you commit to six sessions up front, it’s $195 a session.

  • Between sessions, I’m in your corner by message - that’s where the plan meets real life.

A Client Experience

“I started out wanting the courage to apply for a new role, and only halfway through I had not only applied but been selected for a great new role.”
