Without self-worth, you have nothing. All we achieve is achieved on the basis of believing we're worthy. Without self-worth, we let people walk all over us and we don't believe we have choice.

How can you boost your self-worth?
Do sessions - in sessions you'll have a safe space to unpack your experiences and notice the beliefs and stories that you have about yuorself and others that keep you stuck. Unpacking them will empower you to give them new meaning, to heal from those experiences, so that you can create new, positive meanings that support you to move forward. 

We offer sessions that are a combination of psychology & coaching, where we address self-worth constantly.

2) Move your body. Shake it off so exercise is vital.

3) Breathe and notice the here and now and that everything is okay right now.

1) Remember that there's no one-size-fits-all to relationships.
What works for someone else, won't necessarily work for you. 

2) Remember that appreciation goes a LONG way.

3) Choose your role-models wisely.

Want guidance with creating a fulfilling relationship? Our Lifestyle Strategists will guide you with this.

A lot of people want more fulfilling careers but don't know how to go about creating it. Even people who love what they do might not have a vision for where they want to go and this can lead to their careers becoming energy-draining, as they dedicate more energy to things that don't fulfil them.

Rapid Planning Method - the process saves you a hell of a lot of time:

What's my outcome? ex. to feel strong, healthy, flexible and energetic.

Why does this outcome matter? ex. i want to have the energy and focus to be fully-present and joyful with my kids so we can build good trust and create beautiful memories, and i want to hve the energy and focus to give my all to my clients and team so i can keep growing my business.

How can I achieve my outcome?

This is when you brainstorm - you list down as many small action-steps that you can think of to achieve your outcome.

To manifest anything you want to manifest in your life (more money, more love, better work, beautiful home...), it's not enough to just picture that beautiful thing. You also need to unblock. You need to notice your limiting beliefs and replace them with empowering ones.

At the NYE workshop, we'll be doing a whole exercise on this. You'll identify 3 of your main limiting beliefs that have been blocking you from creating the life you want to experience and you'll replace them with empowering ones so you can absolutely kick-ass and rise above.

We've got early-bird tickets available until Wednesday 12th, so get your tickets now.

I can't wait to see you there!
