Sarah - from the verge of tears to pinching herself

Who? A woman in her early 40s, 2 young children, an emerging business, a partner who travels for work a lot.

Why? Sarah felt irritated, pressured, frustrated, exhausted and on the verge of tears most of the time. She felt like a bad mom, a resentful wife and an overwhelmed business owner. Her goal from the coaching programme was to FEEL BETTER which for her meant more relaxed, confident and happy.


Results? Over the time we worked together Sarah has...
- raised prices, automated systems at work and dealt with the change management that this involved
- managed staff changes and now has a highly functioning team and aligned clients along with more time and mental space
- expressed her desires and boundaries with family and feels more connected and supported in her relationships
- enrolled in learning that excites her and will be taking time off to prioritise this
- made new friends and is doing fun things :)
- stopped doing things that feel draining
- taken time off for a family holiday and has another one on the horizon

In her last session she mentioned feeling like she wanted to pinch herself because feels so good right now!

What she said about coaching with me...

"You were always non judgmental and fully supportive. Having a level headed and compassionate sounding board was the thing that allowed me to truly "hear" myself instead of the stuck record I kept telling myself!

Coaching gave me a deep inner belief in myself and the courage to step up and into new ventures which I don't think would have happened otherwise

You’re SO appreciated and I’m eternally grateful to you. I absolutely would not be reading all these celebrations if it weren’t for you. So THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!"

Ali - from overworking to free Fridays

Who? A woman in her mid 40s, a business owner in import/export, single mother of 3 and primary breadwinner.

Why? Ali was working all hours, overwhelmed and unmotivated. Her business did not feel fun. Parenting teenagers felt impossible. She was exhausted. Her goal from the coaching programme was to take ownership of her time, create more space for what she chose and to take aligned actions towards more time for family, her own goals, friendships and fun.

Results? Ali has…
- hired, trained and delegated work to a new employee without guilt
- set up regular time in her day to think, plan and look at priorities
- set boundaries and created power dynamic shifts in a demanding client relationship
- takes Friday afternoons off occasionally
- is clearing, decluttering and changing her physical space
- has a vision of working from different countries and is taking actions to get there
- feels excited and connected about her business again
- is opening up to the idea of dating and connection

She feels lighter, the business is thriving with new clients on the horizon and adventure is knocking on her door. YES!

What she said about working with me…

”Working with Maude has given me the time I spend with her, to just be in my own space.

Being challenged by her in the way I think, process and see the world. Getting the time and space to step out of the rat race for a moment, and be. Life can be overwhelming when all the balls in the air are fragile and all equally important.

My biggest goal was to step out of the race, and be more present for what was most important to me - my children. To be more present now - to be more involved now and shed the survival mode that I have trained myself to be in. To give life to my dreams and goals again - more importantly, to remember my dreams and goals for my own life.

Thank you Maude. You have had a HUGE impact on my life, and to see the impact on my children's life has been amazing. If you ever wanted to do life coaching - DO IT NOW!”

Beth - from anxious and overwhelmed to healthy and confident.

Who? A woman in her 20s, a go-getter HR professional at a large retail company, UK national.

Why? Beth reached out to me after stepping into a more senior role, she was feeling overwhelmed and like an imposter at work, noticing unhealthy habits - binge drinking at the weekends, no routine. She was also feeling burnt after a heavy relationship and finding it hard to date the way she wanted to.

Her desire from the coaching programme was to cultivate kindness in herself, presence with where she was, healthy habits and confidence.

These were the results that she created over six months...

- great feedback at work, awards, projects and opportunities for travel and promotion
- a new relationship
- long term goals around working for herself, spacious timelines and aligned actions in that direction
- regular surfing, walking, resting, working out at the gym, eating well, drinking less but without shaming herself for days of rest/moments of party :)
- confidence in both failure and success and a growth mindset about being in new and challenging situations that underpins all of the above!

This was what she said about working with me:

”I loved having a space where I didn't have to be strong or have everything figured out. I could fall apart or work stuff out without judgement or pressure or wondering what others would think. I could be emotional, cry, laugh and take time to think about what I wanted - in relationships, at work and overall in my life. I feel like I exist as a different version of me - empowered, confident, trusting and excited about the future.”

Tina - from demotivated and procrastinating to excited and pro-active

Who? A woman in her late 30s, women's workshop facilitator

Why? Tina reached out to me after being in her business for some time and feeling demotivated. She was done with procrastinating, playing small and feeling overwhelmed.

Her goals were to build a cohesive clear business foundation that felt exciting and to take consistent aligned action.

These were the results that she created:

- set up and hosted a regular monthly workshop
- reached out to retreats to offer services
- created, marketed and facilitated other workshops and has retreats, opportunities and collaborations on the horizon
- followed through AND allowed done over perfection
- facilitated a sold out full day retreat
- created a plan for consistency in her business regardless of where she was in the world

This was what she said about coaching:

”My sessions with Maude cut through the BS and went to the doing. Talking to her allowed so much action to take place. In our first session we identified the 4 pillars of my business. I expected this to take weeks or months - we took 10 minutes.

She really helped me to set goals and direction, be accountable to myself and celebrate the small wins. Through talking with Maude I realized that the way I am working is the way I want to work and that I am living my work dream. I just needed her to light a fire under my ass to expand the business and myself to be more visible and public.

Working with Maude was celebratory, gentle, action oriented, sincere and welcoming. I would highly recommend her to any woman looking to work through any quagmire she might be in with her work/life. Maude puts her hand in and pulls you out the muck and brings you into the clear water so that you can see and swim clearly”
