Stuart P. - Coaching Client
"I enjoyed my coaching sessions with Laurenne immensely. Firstly, the sessions increased my confidence and career planning skills. Secondly, Laurenne helped me to see what I'm already achieving and to implement strategies to help me to realise my future goals. The outcome is that I'm prepared for the future and well on my way to where I'd like to be!
Rachelle N. - Coaching Client
"Laurenne has been a pleasure to work with. Integrity, warmth and knowledge are words I would use to describe Laurenne. I appreciate her professionalism, focus and communication style. As I work in a related field counselling others, it has been wonderful to have the "space" to explore issues I want to address. Together, we worked out a realistic and incremental plan of action which has benefited me enormously. Highly recommended."
Helen G. - Coaching Client
"Laurenne has shown an effortless ability to help untangle the spaghetti bowl of challenges that arise through my work as a non-profit leader. From issues of focus and motivation, through to project planning and organisational development, she brings to the table a mix of new tools and insightful questions that help me find new and more productive approaches. It’s a great pleasure to work with Laurenne and I always look forward to our sessions, which are lively and engaging."
Michael L. - Coaching Client
"Coaching with Laurenne has proved just as valuable as any investment in technical professional development."
Sally T. - Coaching Client
"Before I came to Laurenne I was feeling lost, unconfident in my skills and any passion I had for my job was gone. I knew that I needed direction both professionally and personally. Laurenne offers such a supportive environment where I felt comfortable enough to talk in depth about my insecurities, weaknesses and strengths. Her method of coaching is supportive, yet challenged me to dig deep to explore the reasons I felt so held back in certain aspects of my life. Without that push and encouragement I wouldn’t feel as strong as I do today. Laurenne exceeded all expectations and when I finished my time with her, I had direction, a plan and renewed confidence in myself that I was so badly lacking before. Thank you Laurenne!"
Jenna M. - Coaching Client
"I have to say that without you I don't think I would be in a decent job that I love or taking control of my health! Your approach is nurturing and supportive but also challenges me, and makes me challenge myself a bit more."
Ashleigh T. - Coaching Client
"I arrived at Laurenne's doorstep in the hope I could get some answers about my career path, friendships and personal development. Just a few short months later, all 3 are underway. Any strategies I implemented never felt forced because Laurenne ensured that what I planned to do came only from me. Her curiosity allowed us to explore possibilities and she didn't rest until we worked out the answers that were right for me.
I've handed in my notice on my corporate job, enrolled in a teaching course and have decided to just TAKE THE LEAP! Laurenne didn't tell me what to do, she allowed me the space to work out what I needed. The beautiful thing about Laurenne is it's felt like she's been on this journey with me, cheering me on like a best friend.
If you have the opportunity to work with Laurenne you're in for a treat. I cannot recommend Laurenne enough as a coach, she is AMAZING!"

"Laurenne has the knack of asking the right question at the right time. Sometimes the answer is easy and other times the answer requires deep self-reflection - her coaching sessions create forward movement.
Laurenne has many years of experience in business (marketing, training, organisational development, general business), a deep passion for wellness and for coaching. This broad range of skills was particularly useful during elements of my transition from full-time work into running my own consulting business. Everyone needs a coach to stay accountable regardless of your stage of life and personal ambitions. The largest company CEOs all have coaches to help them stay on track. Laurenne's coaching supported me, kept me accountable and provided very useful skills that I'm applying in my consulting business."

"Laurenne is a very passionate, caring and absolutely professional coach. She has coached me through a very difficult stage in my life. At my first session I was overwhelmed and lost.

Roee K. - Coaching Client
"I just wanted to say thank you for helping me to realise my goals. You were professional, respectful and client focused. You were able to draw me back on track when I started to deviate from topic and made each session so very positive.
It was evident that you have great skill in coaching from your ability to challenge me and suggest other ideas. You were also able to navigate our session to enable me to achieve the maximum outcome from each coaching session.
I would not hesitate in recommending you to anyone else considering coaching. You have a natural ability and wonderfully warm nurturing persona."

Learning Testimonials
"It was a pleasure working with Laurenne. She was very flexible and willing to tailor the training program around our constraints and still meet our learning objectives."
Carmel Vlachos - Environment Protection Authority (EPA)
"Laurenne is clearly passionate about Wellness and supporting others to live the best life that they can. She delivered a lunch and learn session to a cross section of employees here and discussed the importance of Wellness and some practical tips for improving it. We received fantastic feedback from the session. Her presentation was informative, engaging and inspiring, and we have now asked Laurenne to deliver a session during one of our leadership programs."
Ilona Magur - APT Travel Group
"During the workshop I had an opportunity to see new perspectives, space to consider options, a realisation/reminder that change occurs in small steps and that two minutes of mindfullness meditation can make a huge difference. I would recommend this workshop to those whose balance in life is not working for them".
Michelle T. - Workshop Feedback
"I loved 'Wellness - Fitting Your Own Oxygen Mask First' from start to finish. I felt cared for and valued and was equipped to create change. Thank you."
Lisa J. - Workshop Feedback
“Laurenne was able to adapt and provide an interactive training session which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. It was nothing but praise and positive feedback."
Natasha S. - Workshop Feedback
"I attended a seminar delivered by Laurenne recently on the topic Fitting your own oxygen mask first. Laurenne was an excellent and knowledgeable presenter. Very engaging and practical with simple steps we could all take away to make meaningful changes to our lives. As a busy working mother of teenagers, I really took away some good insights. I am not surprised her clients benefit enormously from her coaching."
