VisionAlive Coaching was established in November 2006. The inspiration and drive behind creating this coaching business, was my passion for helping people go to places where they never thought possible! Supporting others reach their full potential has been my dream since childhood.

I believe that coaching people towards feeling happy and self-fulfilled is my purpose in this life. I have a deep desire in making a contribution to the world and making it a happier and joyful place.

I have overcome many difficult and challenging obstacles in my life (weight loss, relationships, family, emotions, career, business) and I now truly believe that I can achieve anything I desire. I do not regret any of my experiences as they have made me a stronger and wiser person and make me who I am today. Life is about learning lessons and then moving on to create the wonderful life that you truly deserve.

Weight Loss

Since childhood, I have always struggled with weight issues. Using hard work, determination, commitment, support, affirmation and visualisation techniques, I have now achieved and retained my perfect weight and feel fantastic (Loss of 23kg).

Relationships/ Emotions

The first topic I discussed with my coach in May 2006 was “Relationships” and how they never seemed to work out for me. I practiced many techniques and now have a structure in place which makes dealing with issues and obstacles easy! I have also come to realise that my thoughts and actions really do make a difference to the way I respond to the world and those around me. It has been a matter of self-awareness and commitment to being willing to make a change. I now have far healthier and fulfilling relationships with people around me.

Career

I have worked in the Finance Industry since 1996, in areas such as Customer Service and Admin. More recently I have worked as a Training Coach. Coaching has always been an area I feel passionate about as it involves helping and assisting others towards making their life happier and easier. I understand how difficult and challenging changing careers can be, especially when companies are constantly changing. Colleagues always approach me and ask me for my opinion, help, and support or just for a vent! My friends and collegues always comment “Popi you should become a coach”(I did).

As a coach, I am supportive, honest and open and always tell my clients the truth as I see it. I challenge my clients to go beyond their comfort zone, and encourage them to have empowering thoughts and to believe that they have the power within themselves to accomplish anything they desire.

I work in the best interests of my client and ensure that they receive the maximum benefit from their coaching sessions.

My personal interests

I am very family oriented and I love spending time with my family and loved ones, especially my nephew and niece who I absolutely adore. I enjoy relaxation and meditation classes, reading books and listening to topics on self-help and spirituality. Being next to the water is important to me as it relaxes my body and mind. I enjoy going to the footy and watching my team win!!
