Mindset CoachingOne to One Coaching
Mindset coaching is about helping you to make positive changes, to confidently develop new, self- empowered ways of being and to work towards better health through utilising the connection between body and mind. The difficulties we run into when we are trying to change are created in part by the thoughts, emotions and experiences that we persistently hold on to… the thoughts that tell us that we are incapable of or not worthy of the very thing that we aspire to be, do or have; the fear or anger about having to do things differently or the inventory of disappointments we attribute to our self. Mindset coaching focusses on developing awareness, the ability to see yourself holistically, to experience your inner wisdom and your actual capability. It promotes the ability to be self-accepting (which is not at all about being defeatist or soft but a vital component of any long-lasting positive change). It is action and solutions-focused for you. It's perfect for the person who is willing to take the courageous journey, with someone (me) to challenge and cheerlead as you move forward. Want to know more? If you’d like to find out more or have coaching all you need to do is contact me. We'll set up a time for an initial meeting (which can be in person, by phone or online). Over an hour or so we’ll explore the current challenge and obstacles as you see them, tap into your vision for yourself and explore the specific results that you want. This first meeting is at NO CHARGE or obligation to you. Locations: Hibiscus Coast, Rotorua or via online video call for those outside these areas. FIND OUT MORE

MindfulnessWhether you are dealing with chronic stress, illness, issues stemming from imbalance in your life or simply feel the need for a way to give yourself time out to reconnect with what’s really important, one of the things that can be very helpful is to include some kind of regular “breathing space” in your day. Mindfulness meditation is a very potent way to do this – to give both body and mind a break from living in “the Red Zone” of stress and overwhelm.
Mindfulness is also a wonderful tool for developing the ability to be more accepting and compassionate towards yourself – a vital skill if you are ceaselessly self- critical, suffering stress, sleep disturbance, health issues, unhappy relationships and emotional distress as a result. Contrary to popular opinion, self -acceptance doesn’t make us lazy, weak or selfish, it actually makes us more able to understand that everyone experiences challenges from time to time, and the value of treating both ourselves and others with kindness and understanding and taking a healthier perspective about our problems. The Mindfulness Meditation that I teach is called Mindfulness- Based Stillness Meditation (MBSM), a technique recognized internationally by leaders in the field. It was developed at the Gawler Institute in Australia – an organisation famous for improving recovery outcomes and quality of life for people affected by cancer and other chronic illness. MBSM is suitable for everyone, whether you have previous Meditation or Mindfulness experience or not. You can either attend a 6-week (2 hours a week) course or arrange private classes. Whichever you choose, you learn all what, why and how of this highly effective and very achievable practice. With a focus on skills and practice, by the end you will have a solid foundation for an ongoing, satisfying daily habit that will really enhance your wellbeing.

Group Workshops and CoursesLearning via a Group Workshop or Course is a wonderful way to learn, to get new ideas and practice skills. When you are part of one of my group learning experiences, as well as the interactive and practical learning you do, you also benefit vastly from hearing other participants’ thoughts and experiences and from supporting and being supported by the group.
Group learning is a really economical way to have access to self – development and because the groups are small (usually no more than 12 – 15 participants) there is lots of opportunity to receive person input. Just imagine spending two or three days with a wonderful group of like-minded people, rediscovering your own wisdom and healing your self- belief. Or meeting them every week for 6 weeks to learn and explore the magic of mindfulness meditation. It’s a great way to grow your tribe! My most popular workshop is a two-day Heal Your Life Intensive where you learn and put into practice all the fundamentals of the Louise Hay method, including emotions work, forgiveness, body-mind work, positive affirmations and much more. My most popular course is a six-week Mindfulness Meditation course, where you learn what Mindfulness is, explore the way our mind works and through frequent practice get to experience how you can respond with more ease to your thoughts and emotions, alleviate your own stress and come to inner stillness. Whatever your experience level I ensure that you feel safely able to get the most out of the course that you can. Because there is lots of hands-on content, after a workshop or course you find that your new skills and ideas easily become incorporated in your life. During longer group learning situations attendees say they experience significant changes that begin during the course and snowball after the course finishes. Cost depends on the length of the course, location and content. SEE UPCOMING WORKSHOPS |

“I’ve been seeing Liz for over a year now. I’d always known that my upbringing had affected me, and I had a deep inner turmoil that I’d never been able to shake despite seeing counsellors over the years and using many other forms of self- help. Liz is such an incredible woman with so much life experience, skill and knowledge. She is a holistic practitioner who is down to earth, easy to talk to, non- judgemental and is really interested in seeking resolution and meeting your goals. She has prepared me for potential conflict situations and given me tools and strategies to use in difficult moments. This greatly reduced my anxiety and helped to bring so much peace. She gives me affirmations for moments that I feel distressed and need to recalibrate my thoughts towards a more positive mindset. She has taught me so much about emotions – specially that there are no bad ones – and how to truly, deeply feel them and then process and work through them. She helped me to prepare for my second birth (after my traumatic first delivery) and helped me to navigate the health system with confidence so that I could get the care I wanted. She is responsive to emails between sessions, lends me books and is very supportive when something distressing crops up. Most of all, Liz has enabled me to let of a lot of what I realise was never mine to carry and to focus on what is truly important and feels authentic for me. Life hasn’t become perfect, but overall, I feel a deep sense of happiness, contentment and peace that I don’t ever remember having before. You will not regret meeting with Liz and seeing what she has to offer you.”

Where do I start? I’ve changed. Everything’s changed. I’ve established the deepest and strongest connection I’ve ever had with myself and every aspect of my external world has improved.”
Mindfulness Course Participant, Auckland “Everything has changed for the better – it is truly transformational. Life feels “slower”, more in control. I am calmer – I have tools and resources to handle stress, anxiety and uncomfortable emotions. I am more present. It has positively impacted my life.” Mindfulness Course Participant, Auckland |

“I live with depression and anxiety. Working with Liz in the Heal Your Life workshop has made a huge difference in my life. The workshop combined with her counselling and energy balancing sessions have made my life more positive and balanced. I have learned so much and dare I say life is good!”
Heal Your Life Workshop Participant, Auckland "For me, this workshop was both powerful and empowering. Liz was fantastic as a Louise Hay facilitator. I would recommend this to all my friends and spiritual colleagues. I love the affirmations, the mirror work and the forgiveness of my family and friends. Thank you, Liz" Heal Your Life Workshop Participant, Auckland "I feel I have acknowledged aspects of myself and my past I was not aware of and I have moved important blocks, hurts and emotions from the past. I have new ideas for approaching daily life. It wouldn't have been possible to process and express my past without having the support and courageous examples of others who shared this journey with me." Heal Your Life Workshop Participant, Auckland "The course has improved my enjoyment, my relationship with my husband, my business and my love of life - yes it has been that profound!"
