Your Life Coach for fulfillment and Inspiration in Retirement

Developer of my own life coaching business - Life Options Programme for early retirement - the past 30 years I have amassed a variety of international life experiences both in my career and personal life with the UN and other international organizations.

I had wonderful experiences of a colourful life through the lives of all those that passed my way in 3 continents (Europe , Africa and America) and 9 countries (Algeria, Argentina, Finland, Geneva, London, Nairobi, Manhattan (New York), Paris and Yugoslavia).

The contrasts have been vast. Through my retirement life coaching and as a result of these life enriching experiences, I am able to pass on some 'hands on' experience to help you with getting your life back on track. I remember when I was sharing apartments friends would often confide in me and some said that they could say things to me that they never dreamt of saying to others. I coached these people without knowing and one friend took a risk in the 60s to emigrate to Australia . She found it difficult at first and she hung in there and found the life she wanted. Life would be very dull if everything was given to you on a plate - struggles are all that make up the wonderful tapestry of life.

Pre-retirement for me was early retirement. After a couple of  years into retirement, there was a missing link and I wanted to contribute my gifts to society, but wasn't sure how. I read about life coaching, learned the skills and attained an Advanced Coaching Diploma with the UK Coaching Academy. I knew instinctively that coaching being action-oriented was definitely for me. I am walking my talk and I love what I do in helping others to achieve their ideal life because I care deeply for them.

Today, I love what I do, I'm passionate about guiding you to a more comfortable place in your life. I continue to learn through the development of my coaching business. Coaching is an extremely powerful tool to help you take healthy actions that give you zest and direction for your life. I am qualified to help you get the life you want because of my own life experiences, training and education.

I am a member of the International Coaching Federation and I abide by their coaching codes of conduct. I have diplomas in counselling with the Association of Christian counsellors; Dale Carnegie course in personal and business communication and public speaking (in Paris ); listening and boundaries courses plus Retirement, Stress Resiliency, and personal assessment courses I have completed for my coaching. These are all the strong skills I use in my coaching practice. I am in-service for you to achieve the life you want because I care about you!

My clients say they never imagined how different life could be and how much happier and content they are. I continue to keep in touch and they call if they feel they need a nudge in the right direction. I care what happens to my clients and they know that I am there for them.

Clients are impressed that I am well organised, keep them on track and answer their phone calls and emails on time. They say they achieved more than they ever imagined in a shorter amount of time than if they were trying to do everything on their own. Some of my clients have intensive travel schedules and I respect their space if they need more time. They go away feeling much more relaxed and in charge of their lives.
