Mindset and Mindfulness one-to-one Coaching is a particular branch of life coaching. One of it’s core ideas is that if you don’t know, like and value yourself none of the changes you want to achieve are going to really work (or be long lasting). In other words, it’s about helping you to feel positively about yourself and your experiences so that you can confidently develop new, self-empowered ways of being.
Stepping back a little more, Mindfulness is all about developing the awareness to see yourself as a whole person – emotional, physical, mental and spiritual – with enormous innate capability and wisdom. Mindfulness promotes an ability to be self-accepting (this is not at all defeatist or soft. It's a vital place to start from if you want any changes to be long lasting). Mindset is about being empowered about what you CHOOSE to believe about yourself, your life and your capacities. The brick walls we run into are created by the thoughts that we persistently hold on to that tell us we are incapable of - or not worthy of - the very thing that we aspire to be, do or have. Mindset coaching addresses these 'brick walls' and enables you to choose to come at life with a more self - supporting point of view. It is action and solutions-focused for you. It's perfect for the person who is willing to take the courageous journey. It’s about a relationship with a person (your coach) who will challenge and cheerlead as you move forward. |

Are you are looking for positive change
What draws people to coaching is the want or need to develop confidence with new ways of being: being empowered, hopeful and satisfied in their own life. Because (in short) you want to be self-determining... you want to feel like you are in charge of your own life, feelings and experiences.
Many people take a scatter-gun approach to solving their problems or achieving goals because they don't know how to do different (or find it very hard to get started). Once they get sick of going around in circles, they go looking for someone or something to help - that's where a Coach comes in.
Mindfulness and mindset are two very powerful tools to utilise as you go from this place of frustration - feeling stifled and unhappy - to experiencing tangible movement towards your goals.
With mindfulness and mindset coaching, as you learn to be able to be more mindful, startling realisations begin to occur... you start to see how caught up in negativity or self- sabotage you may have been... you recognise that what looked like a tolerable situation is really disempowering you without you having realised... you discover that you've been bottling up emotions forever, and consequently missing out on the important messages that they have for you (and the ability to experience all the emotions that you WANT to feel).
With growing mindfulness, you also start to have new ideas and clarity about what you need to do to support yourself, and to eliminate old, self-sabotaging behaviours. People often also experience that stuff that has been 'stuck' for years, starts to move, without you even having really been focusing on it
Another name for mindfulness is "Awareness". When you have self-awareness you have a superpower that enables you to get very clear about what is standing between you and your happiness.
In fact, right now your goals may be very modest... a want to solve an immediate problem, a desire to stop "putting up with it" or living with a "band-aid" mentality (do anything to not rock the boat or move you or anyone else out of your comfort zone). However, small goals are like focusing on something right in front of your face. They obscure your view of the big picture... the cool, inspiring, deeply fulfilling things that are available to you when you have the courage and commitment to first of all heal, and then look beyond your present experience.

What’s involved in Coaching?
A key aim, whatever the changes you want to make, is to enable you to become more self-aware, self- loving and self- accepting, because without these, everything else you do will be less effective. Each coaching session assists you to tap into your own knowledge about yourself, in a way that you may never have done before, so that you can quickly come to realisations about what is standing between you and your goals.
Of course, all of this requires time and commitment on your part. Liz offers her expertise in self- love mastery, mindfulness and mindset transformation, and will assist you to identify the beliefs and attitudes that are keeping you from your goals (and their origins). She will devise very specific strategies and teach you effective skills with which to move forward. She will enable you to connect deeply with your inner wisdom, so that it becomes your biggest ally. YOUR contribution is to do the work - to practice, to reflect and to take action. No Action = No Change! (Kind of like going to the gym but not doing a workout and expecting to get fit and strong regardless!)
Sessions are usually fortnightly, and last about 90 minutes. They can be face to face or via Zoom video call. There will be homework in between sessions!
3 months is the minimum time it takes to create robust and tangible change. Effective coaching deals with not only what’s on the surface but what’s underneath, and it takes time (and practice) for new patterns of thinking and behaviour to be integrated.

What participants have said:
“When I first went to see Liz, I found it extremely hard to voice how I was feeling and really what I actually wanted from our sessions. She was extremely patient and as the supportive, kind and at times really funny sessions developed, my trust in her grew to the extent that I was able to open up more than I have ever done with anyone else. Part of the process has been to develop strategies together, so when faced with challenges I do not panic or feel overwhelmed. As simple as this may sound, this has been life-changing for me. As well as one to one session I have also attended a weekend workshop Liz ran. Being rather a private person, this was an immense challenge for me, but the supportive way the workshop was run meant I was able to relax and get the full benefit of working with others.” Coaching Client, Waikato
“I came to Liz through word-of-mouth referral, having no idea what she did or what a ‘life coach’ was. All I knew was what was written on the brochure. All I wanted was to get rid of “old stuff” that no longer served me. I was hoping that Liz could just sweep it away. At our first meeting I asked her” What do you do?”. Her answer was “that depends… I have a range of tools and I apply what’s needed”. That didn’t give me much insight but her gentle and trusting manner encouraged me to do some sessions with her. I had 6 sessions with Liz and each session had a structure and a purpose and I was always asked if I was happy to proceed. She did indeed use a range of simple tools and techniques and she gave me further reading when I asked. She explored my goals, history and relationships, love, emotions and emotional literacy and anger. There was simple homework for me to do (mostly I did that, but sometimes I resisted). Although my sessions have been completed, I am still very much learning, growing and healing. Liz helped me to identify my blockages; she gave me alternative ways to think and behave and this has certainly helped me heal old hurts and deep emotions, my shoulders grew lighter, my heart is open, and I feel content. Liz has such a loving and trusting manner that I felt completely at ease revealing intimate things to her that I had never told anyone. I give a word of warning: that is that Liz can only help her client achieve as much as they allow her to. WE are the ones who have to do the work, and it can only be successful if we have the courage and will to look inside. Only then will the healing begin. I give thanks that I had the privilege to meet Liz and work with her.” Coaching Client, Wellington
"Thank you for helping me on the road to happiness and hope. The time working with you has been incredible and I am very grateful for your help and guidance" SJ Auckland
"Thank you for giving me balls! I am excited to continue my journey with newfound skills” KH Auckland
"There was so much covered over and above my expectations. I feel inspired!" DW Auckland
"Thank you for helping me to find these revelations about myself and for providing me with excellent tools to move forward." SG Australia
"Just a little update from me and to thank you again for everything you helped me with. Life’s continuing to go well and positively. I ended up having 4 job offers and have settled with a perfect fit. I took my time and weighed up the right options for me rather than rushing into the first one offered. My friends can see how much of a change I’ve made in myself through working with you ". AG Auckland
