Live Your Best Life
Find out how coaching could change your life,
your career, or your business.
Here’s what people have been saying about my coaching.
I am always so delighted when a client takes the time to talk about how coaching has impacted them. Not only is it fulfilling to hear how coaching has changed their life, but a great way for others to understand how a life and business coach can help. You can see more testimonials and information about the areas of coaching I cover below.
Working with Mandy the last 10 months has allowed me to completely transform my outlook, perspective and approach. When looking back to when I started, it is difficult to put into words the huge positive impact seeking coaching support has made – it is invaluable.
Starting this process at first was a difficult decision, I did not understand how coaching would work and felt nervous about opening up and sharing my challenges. However, I could not recommend coaching and working with Mandy enough.
This process has enabled me to overcome challenges and aspects which have been holding me back for years and I wish I would have started a long time ago. Coaching has dramatically improved my approach to work and I now have the techniques and awareness to successfully navigate through my career in future.
JH, 26, Manager
I will be forever grateful to Mandy for all that she did to enable me to find my element, my fulfilment, and my joy again.
She provided me with the safe-space coaching, objective & irreverent challenging and empathetic support that I was crying out for to help me to re-establish my life priorities, to get them back in the right order & in balance, and to make the tough, radical & initially scary decisions (“focus on facts, not fears!”) to start living my life in line with those priorities.
This was life-changing for me – giving me the perspective and self-belief to take back control, to resign from a career path that was no longer giving me the fulfilment I needed or in line with my values.
I took time out, focusing back on the things most important to me – my family, connecting people to make a difference where it matters, re-energising and re-discovering what gives me joy.
I now have a new mission-led role I love, in a social enterprise where our shared purpose aligns with my personal passions & motivations, and I have the mandate to unleash my superpowers again to make the difference I need, where it really matters, in the right way.
I no longer feel guilty for putting myself and my nearest & dearest first. I am much fitter & more resilient – both physically & mentally – and my whole life feels sustainably in balance.
Mandy is a very special person – and the world would be a much better place with many more people like her. I would (and have) recommend Mandy to anyone feeling the need to re-evaluate & re-discover their life and career direction, priorities and plan.
Neil Westlake-Guy
I contacted Mandy about coaching after previously being part of one of Mandy’s self-sabotage and being kind to ourselves talks, it spoke to myself in many ways and where my mindset was at the time.
I have learnt so much about my mindset and why I think the way I do, and how to deal with thoughts in my mind. I am also more positive, excited about my future and now understand where I want to be.
From start to finish Mandy has helped me so much.
VT, Nursery Practitioner
I felt really stuck in what I wanted to do with my life. I knew I wanted to go back to university and was too afraid.
Even after my first session with Mandy I knew my life was about to change for the better. Mandy guided me with making big decisions and feeling better about myself.
I’m at the university of my dreams and loving every moment of my course. I really wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for Mandy’s help and support in my life.
I don’t think I’ll ever stop wanting to work with her because of how much my life massively became worth living once I started working with her.
KS
I came to Mandy as a small business owner, with 10 employees including some family members. I wanted to improve performance, communication and collaboration with our team.
Mandy helped me to start the process by cutting through the chaos and looking at how I felt and the anxieties that I had.
After only a few sessions I was calmer, more postitive and motivated. I had my anxiety under control and I felt so refreshed and keen to push forward and lead our team in a positive fulfilling manner.
Mandy was so approachable and easy to talk to. With her knowledge of business, she was able to help me both on a personal and professional level.
A Wilbraham, Chester
Mandy is a phenomenal coach. In just the first session we were able to untangle some of the things that were holding me back and explore ways to move forward not only in my career but holistically. Mandy has a way of putting my values, beliefs and goals into perspective to make sure it aligns with what I do. Mandy has walked alongside me every step of the way, empowering me to take bold steps where I wouldn’t usually. It has been a pleasure working with Mandy and I couldn’t recommend her enough.
Oge, Project Manager Unicef
I felt my career path was no longer providing me the satisfaction I had hoped for 20 years ago. I embarked upon a co-active coaching programme with Mandy which started with a very detailed review of me: my beliefs, my self awareness and what I wanted to achieve. It was a fantastic exercise and I was able to break down and question so many established beliefs and to reaffirm my values. I describe her support as helping me to find my way out of a very dark forest.
Jo, Head of Programme Risk
The power of having our strategies written down and actioned has been huge. Firstly, to go back to the route of why and what you want from your business was enlightening. Secondly, being in a partnership, it was so healthy to hear the others wants and desires and was so encouraging that we were both on the same vision even though we hadn’t had the time to speak about that vision, (because the everyday stuff had taken over!) The clarity of what we want to achieve is so clear now and every day is a step in the right direction to getting there. The strategy plan breathed a new lease of life into our business and this energy is already having a response as we are already gaining new business.
Lucy, North West End Acting School
I have never met anyone who understood me and my business so quickly and knew what was important to me. Everything we have agreed seems so obvious and right for my business but I know I would never got there without you. You looked inside my spirit, shook up my business and put it back to fit.
Jane, The Cheshire Garden
Through coaching Mandy has helped me to understand and recognise what is really important to me, allowing me to recognise my strengths, values and to create goals that move me forward. During our first session Mandy got me to identify things that were holding me back and changed my view on them; this growth continued across our sessions. Mandy has helped me throughout this journey, with support, challenge and exploration; these combined have widened my perspective, increasing my resilience and self-belief. It has been a real privilege to work with her
KG, CEO
Mandy is for you if you are looking for no-frills, warm guidance with a laser focus on what you need. It’s clear that Mandy comes from a great deal of experience and she has a natural ability to help you put into perspective clear goals and how to overcome any practical or mindset barriers, always making you feel at ease. Mandy has helped me immensely to improve my clarity and confidence and I feel so much more empowered me to challenge myself and reach my goals. I would recommend her to anyone and have already taken so much from my sessions. Thank you Mandy!
Jess, Therapist Chester
Mandy really gets to understand your business style and ethos which means she tailors her sessions perfectly to make sure her help, advice and support are completely in line with what you are trying to achieve and how. She is utterly professional, organised and empathetic but really makes you think differently about how you can achieve your goals. I feel like the overwhelm has been removed by having Mandy on board and I’m able to focus on the things that will be most helpful to my business growth. She also makes you accountable and motivated and with her wealth of business experience you feel you are in safe yet caring hands. I highly recommend her.
Rachel, Lifestyle Holistic Therapy
If you have ever wondered if you would get benefit from coaching then you are probably in the same place I was some months ago. I had put a lot of time and effort into ‘getting the job done’ and forgotten how important investment in me and my development actually was. Working for a larger organisation the learning opportunities are all there. Lots of courses I could register for, development sessions I could sign up to or mentors I could seek out although I doubt any would have made the same difference that working with Mandy has made. From the beginning I was made to feel at ease in the conversations which helped with getting under the skin of what needed to be worked on. Moving from that to opening up on the things that I felt good about, that frustrated me or held me back was a revelation and Mandy was able to quickly spot where I was moving forward or where I was reverting back and course corrected me, which often made me laugh as I didn’t see it although I can now! I take so much more in my stride, I think and don’t just react which enables me to guide people to achieve the outcomes they are looking for helping them to feel good about their achievements which is reward for me too. We all have different needs and Mandy can help you identify and isolate yours in such a powerful way allowing you to live your life in line with your own unique values. Simply inspirational!!
CM, Head of Service Delivery
I had tried coaching before, but Mandy brings a vibrant, fresh, approach which worked brilliantly for me. The sessions are FUN, and we discovered parts of me that had been lost for years. I always looked forward to the sessions and I felt disappointed when we got to the point where Mandy said she thought I was ready for completion now! But I was. Mandy has helped me see things through a new pair of eyes, and this helped me in all areas of my life. I hope I have an opportunity to use Mandy’s services again in the future! There are so many people I come across that I just KNOW would benefit from working with Mandy.
Neil Finnie, Transformation Director
I would highly recommend Mandy, she has without doubt changed my life. When we met I was struggling with my confidence, particularly in my work environment. I had always been a people pleaser and had found myself on a path I hadn’t chosen. I had lost my way and I was starting to question what it was I really wanted. Mandy gave me the space, respect, support and patience I needed to figure it all out. She would challenge me at times to confront my inner critic, questioning old beliefs which I didn’t even hold anymore whilst encouraging me to be kinder to myself. With Mandy’s help I have regained my self worth, discovered my power and my purpose and I will always be grateful to her for helping me to cherish who I am.
PW, Cheshire
Since working with Mandy I feel like I have a real focus on what’s important in my life. Talking about my values and what I hold close, has really sharpened where I need to use more of my energy and not to waste it on things I can’t change. Having this view has helped me to secure a new role and my work life balance has improved so that I spend more quality time with my family. It’s so simple to have that mind shift, you just need someone to give you that push! Thanks Mandy
Rachael P , Chester
Through coaching, Mandy has helped me to recognise what is really important to me, and to make positive changes in my life to ensure I focus on these values every day. I have been able to improve my health, my fitness, my career and so much more, as well as learning to understand who I truly am. Mandy is truly dedicated to helping people live their very best life and she is also one of the nicest people you could hope to meet
Jane M, Chester
I can thoroughly recommend Mandy as a coach. It’s very useful if you feel stuck, at a crossroads or just need to define new roles. Her support, intuitive questioning and persistence means you have the opportunity to reflect, face fears, deal with challenges and take confident steps towards your own goals. You become the integral part of finding your own solution. Very powerful stuff.
JH, Chester
The results have been immediate and incredible, exceeding all my expectations. My focus and happiness has been transformed in terms of my professional outlook and even more so in my personal life, allowing me to recognise my strengths, values and to create goals that move me forward. I can’t remember when I’ve been so motivated and so happy. I can 100% recommend Mandy to anyone who is looking for an amazing coach.
Eduardo, North Yorkshire
I have been stunned by the changes in my career, personal relationships and well being. Here is what I have learnt :
1. Be kind to myself
2. Be kind to others
3. Understand my motivation and blocks in order to own my decisions. Since Mandy’s coaching here are my outcomes; 1. 2 stone weight loss 2. Coped with lockdown by finding my sunshine activities and people every day 3. Found new projects in work to enhance my career
4.Most of all I have realised it’s OK not to be like others but – DO ME ! I want to thank Mandy for helping me SEE that sunshine keeps me sane. You are inspirational. So if anyone out there is wobbling- give Mandy a call! I did and it’s the best investment I have made in a long time.
Helen Jackson, Account Manager
Mandy is an incredibly supportive and intuitive coach. I can’t recommend her highly enough. Mandy coached me through an exceptionally challenging time, she’s introduced me to tools and coping strategies that I’ll value forever. Thank you Mandy
Sarah Rigg, Financial Services
I contacted Mandy about coaching after previously being able to be part of one of Mandy’s self sabotage and being kind to ourselves talks, it spoke to myself in many ways and where my mind set was at the time. I have learnt so much about my mindset and why I think the way I do, and how to deal with thoughts in my mind. I am in a much more positive mindset about losing weight and getting to a goal because previously before contacting Mandy I had given up. I am also more positive, excited about my future and now understand where I want to be in the future, from start to finish Mandy has helped myself so much , It’s like I gave Mandy a ball of wool and she has unravelled it. she was there to challenge and understand every bump or challenge I faced when unravelling the ball of wool in my head.
VT, Nursery Practitioner
I can’t thank Mandy enough for all her help and support over recent weeks. I came to Mandy as a small business owner, with 10 employees including some family members. I wanted to improve performance, communication and collaboration within our team. Mandy helped me to step back and start the process by first cutting through the chaos and looking at how I felt and the anxieties that I had. After only a few sessions I was feeling calmer, more positive and motivated. I had my anxiety under control using various recommended daily tasks and techniques. I felt so much more refreshed and keen to push forward and lead our team in a positive fulfilling manner. Mandy was so approachable and easy to talk to. With her knowledge of business, she was able to help me both on a personal and professional level. I can’t recommend Mandy highly enough. Thank you, Mandy.
A. Wilbraham
Mandy is a fantastic coach! I’ve had the privilege of working with Mandy over the past 12 months on both my personal and professional goals. Mandy has a way of unlocking not just your full potential but also enabling you to focus on what really matters to you, therefore making choices which are aligned to your goals and what you actually want. I have no hesitation of recommending Mandy, you’ll leave fully transformed to live your very best life.
Felicia Squire, Global Senior HR Business Partner
A couple of years ago I felt really stuck in what I wanted to do with my life, I knew I wanted to go back to university and was too afraid. Even after my first session with Mandy I knew my life was about to change for the better. Now over a year later working with Mandy, who helped guide me with making big decisions and feeling better about myself, I’m at the university of my dreams and loving every moment of my course. I really wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for Mandy’s help and support in my life and I don’t think I’ll ever stop wanting to work with her because of how much my life massively became worth living once I started working with Mandy.
