When I started with Yolande, I was seeking a heap of change, there were plenty of things in my life that I needed to get on top of and fast  as everything seemed to be getting worse.

I was  totally at the mercy of many things in my life and was struggling to take control.  One of the first things I learnt was to see that who I was being, was totally affecting my inner and outer worlds, and how I was totally responsible for the stress in my life.  I always thought I had to be in control of situations and people but it was a losing battle.

Learning to let go of that control and focus on myself was a huge turning point in my coaching, Yolande has this fabulous ability to articulate my thoughts and feelings in a way that really resonates with me in a way I’ve never thought about before.  It was in gaining a deep understanding of my patterns that I ran through and Yolande giving me conscious awareness of them, that I was able to change.

I started shifting who I was being, I saw the world differently and I started doing things in different ways, and of the course the outcomes shifted too!

My communication skills have improved to a place where I can be honest with myself and others about the way I am feeling, and I’m also experiencing a greater sense of calm and less stress! My anxiety went from very high to almost gone to barely ever showing up, as I trust myself enough to make decisions for the best possible outcome that sees me feeling ‘looked after’, (by me!)

Holding my boundaries and expressing my expectations to people has significantly reduced my stress levels!  I now know how to look after me, so my world is calmer, my family is happier and I feel like a different person!
