It's all good and well me saying I work wonders, here's the proof!

'I am a mum of 3 children, my middle child having a disability so life is pretty full on.

I decided to use the services of a Life Coach as a final attempt to get myself straight, however, I had had some coaching previously, so wasn’t expecting that much, but knew I had to do something. I have wanted to get back to paid employment as the time is right for me and the whole family.

I had no idea how great the experience with Michala was going to be. It has been amazing. I have clarity, motivation, and for the first time in a long time, real hope.

Clarity, in the sense that now I know what I want to do, and what I don’t want to do. I am clear on how to achieve this and a great process to make it happen on a daily and weekly basis.

Motivation, in that I hadn’t expected to be able to change that much in order to get what I want for myself and my family but it’s given me the drive and direction that has increased my motivation. I love the approach Michala takes. Realistic but positive.

Hope, as it is so doable. I honestly couldn’t see what needed to be done but I am truly excited as I work towards setting up my own business, finding time for myself and having more fun time with the family.

Michala’s attention to detail amazes me. She pins me down so I make clear choices and decisions that are really proactive. At the same time she is funny, gentle and supportive.

If you’ve never thought about coaching before or had a lukewarm experience try Michala. I can safely say she has changed my life for the better.

THANK YOU MICHALA.

'I approached Michala regarding coaching sessions after a friend was so positive about the help and confidence she had gained through her time spent with her.

My main goal was to feel order and calm in my day to day life, become a better planner and gain confidence going forward with my business development plans.

Two weeks in and I already feel Michala's strategies are an enormous help. If life is running away with you rather than you running away with life I would definitely recommend her - she really does help!.

Since the birth of my daughter I have been concentrating on being an at home mum but as she is getting older I have started to study again and look at a new career path. I was a bit sceptical about coaching as I wasn’t sure what it could do for me.

I came to Michala’s coaching group, ‘Circle of Friends’ having heard her talk about what it had done for her and some of her clients. I needed some guidance and support with my goal of setting up my own business. Trying to juggle a demanding final year of my course and family pressures means there is little space to think or plan what is coming next. Let alone have any time for me. The idea that for an hour a week I could dedicate that time just to do that appealed to me.

It’s been amazing. In a short space of time I gained some space in my busy head by setting goals and real actions as stepping stones towards my future plans. It really is a ‘Clearing’. Doing the coaching with a small group has given me motivation and a feeling of sameness- realising that I’m not alone with becoming overwhelmed by the ‘small’ day to day stuff us mum’s have to do. I am more organised and focused and feel that my ultimate goal is reachable, if I keep applying the skills Michala has shown us. I am more confident I can do it.

Michala’s approach is light-hearted, warm and fun. She walks the talk and I like that. As a coach she is focused, insightful and dedicated. I would absolutely recommend Wood for the Trees.

Hi my name is Elaine and I am a mum of two girls, my beautiful youngest has disabilities which mean she needs round the clock care, so life is very busy.

I came to Michala’s ‘Circle of Friends’ when I heard from a friend how good she was. I wanted to stop feeling stuck and procrastinating through fear of the sheer volume of things I have to do.

Thank god for Michala. I have gained an incredible sense of motivation and some discipline, which I thought I had until we started working with some of the strategies. I have a structure which I can follow to get exactly what I want, but which lends itself to the flexibility of looking after a disabled teenager. I can see myself achieving my goals and for the first time in a long time I believe in me. The process of breaking things down really works for me.

I had been wandering round in the darkness of burying my head in the sand, half the time I didn’t have a clue how I was getting through the week. It’s the workable plan I produce that excites me, and the fact that it’s me doing it, builds my confidence. My self-esteem has increased and my relationships have improved as a consequence. I feel a real sense of self-worth doing things for me. I feel driven in a way I haven’t felt in years, even about cleaning the kitchen. LOL!

Michala is very organised and a great role model. She has a gentle, yet challenging approach. She can see when I am making excuses for myself and questions my motivation so I find the right direction for me. She doesn’t advise but helps me see how realistic I am being. I love working through any barriers I have and thinking differently to get a way through. Most of all she helps me get it all out of my head and put it into real action. I’ve gone from stressed, and frazzled to energised and action packed in a short space of time.

I would highly recommend working with Michala. She lives what she coaches and shares in our successes and failures, which is a relief from the ‘perfect’ presentation of some life coaches.

Thanks Michala for helping me get my life back on track!!
