Benefits of Coaching During Parenthood

Feel confident, capable and purposeful as you find your best way to balance day-to-day life experiences in your journey around parenthood.

By helping you to identify your goals, abilities, values, options and way forward, I offer my coaching expertise as you lead the way through the changes and choices you are considering in your life.

When we look specifically at the issues of parenthood it helps to acknowledge that great self-sacrifice is involved. Our ego goes through a massive adjustment. Our lifestyles need to accommodate the changes. Our consciousness asks us to be responsible role models and consider those in our care. We are faced with the choices of how to help shape a new family and be healthy, happy, functioning human beings.

Our capacity to expand our hearts to love, nurture and take responsibility for another human being is enormous. It's important to realize that we have the right to self-determination, alongside the responsibility to not only sustain life, but to make it a life worth living.



Nikki's testimonial - a new mother

I have found the journey into parenthood to be challenging.  Becoming a Mum has forced me to evaluate my priorities, commitments and my goals for the future.  I have been receiving life coaching from Erika for the past 18 months, who has helped me to clarify, my goals, direction, priorities and values.  It's been 18 months of enormous change.  When I first started with Erika I felt overwhelmed and directionless.   With her assistance I have clearly defined my goals for the future and established a set of objectives I wish to achieve. One goal being to establish a successful online business.

It has been a wonderful journey and one that I would highly recommend to anyone struggling with the transition into parenthood.  A life coach can:

listen to you
help you create clear goals
assist your personal development
respect you
share techniques and strategies

Erika is uniquely qualified and guided me through my journey of striving to meet both my personal and business goals. She has played a critical role in my person development ensuring that I stay focused, by providing tools and strategies for adapting to change and challenging me to achieve my goals.  I really valued having somebody by my side to help, encourage, motivate and occasionally advise me.   The benefits of finding a life coach over say a friend or family member is that they have no preconceived ideas about who you are and are motivated to see you become as successful as you want to be.

Melanie's testimonial

Dear Erika, thank you for the Life Coaching that I participated in over the last few months. I was unsure about taking up the offer of coaching when you provided it, but was so glad I did! Our sessions flew by, and I found myself looking forward to each as they approached.

Setting goals was one of the things that I have always found difficult, and through our discussions, realized that I was waiting for others to motivate me. Motivation comes from within, but I needed to be reminded of that, and your gentle encouragement and insights certainly helped. I never felt judged and always felt you were open and listening during our sessions.

I have taken up another personal development course (an opportunity I probably would have let go by) and by now using different strategies that we discussed, my business has increased, I am having more fun in my personal life and my family is seeing the benefits.
