what my clients say about working with me


 
 

1:1 coaching

 
Working with Rowena was has allowed me to learn and grow as both a human and as a CEO. As a leader I was skeptical about some of the techniques which were initially suggested and yet they have proved to be revolutionary in both the way I lead and the way I manage the intense pressure of my role. Rowena approaches this work in a way which supported me to think differently, feel differently and ultimately provide me with more choices of how I wanted my life to be and feel. I am grateful for the times when I was confronted with approaches which felt uncomfortable as they allowed me to use other senses to solve problems beyond my mind. I strongly recommend working with Rowena - as a senior leader I learnt new, innovative, effective strategies which I am convinced I would not have engaged with if they hadn’t been introduced by a less able coach.

Working with Rowena has been an incredible addition to my life.

She has brought me time and space to understand my values, my self-worth, my passions and desires - I have become more connected to myself than ever which in turn has brought more joy to my relationships and my day-to-day life.

I have worked with Rowena [...] during a period of my life where there has been significant change and uncertainty.

With Rowena’s coaching, I have been able to change my perspective in challenging times, experience gratitude and playfulness on the mundane days, and really reflect on who I want to be in this world, and what I want to do.

Rowena’s questions are like carefully crafted keys that fit into the lock of my thoughts and help me to open up my explorations

Rowena’s coaching has not only given me the tools to find acceptance and joy in where I am, but I have seen a real difference in the students I am teaching as a result.

I am beyond grateful for her guidance, support and love.
— Emily, engineer and teacher
At every stage, I have felt supported and consciously attended to by Rowena.
She is highly sensitive to my needs, and made insightful suggestions at points during our sessions
Since starting our coaching, I have felt calmer and more empowered; I am able to think more clearly and also reflect on some of what has been offered or observed in the way I talk about myself in sessions.
This has been, and will continue to be, invaluable.
— LOUISE, restorative practice leader, and teacher
Changes made: My relationship to self. In particular, the voice of the inner critic has seen the biggest change, in that I’m more consistent in catching & challenging the default scripts.
Finding and trusting my voice: being able to give voice to ‘my’ truth, without the nagging fear of what others will think of me. Taking better care of myself. This has been a tricky area. Self-care has always been on the agenda, but I always allowed myself to ignore my own needs. Now I’m able to give more priority to my needs and as a result, am feeling the benefits.

I love coaching outdoors! I find it particularly helpful and energising
— Jon
Rowena is an awesome coach (and person) who listens with her whole self. I particularly
appreciate her patience with me this session.
She managed to get me to put some
structure around our conversation, including action items, but more than anything, she let
me verbalize and process the challenge percolating in my head.

workshops and retreats

 
The day has felt... open, trust-inspiring, gentle, moving, thought-provoking, wise
These tools were so useful, for example ways to help me to listen to my gut, my instinct, more. I had never had that advice and toolkit before.
Transformative, Accepting, Tranquil, Peaceful, Safe, Healing.
The tasks worked really well, as I sought to connect with achieving positive changes in the area of life I am finding most difficult at the moment.

 

group programmes

 
This course has been something that has given me real joy this winter and something that I have actively made space for in my crazy schedule.

It has challenged me, supported me and given me much food for thought. I have found some peace with my inner critic, have connected more with nature and have found true support from an amazing group of
women.
— Christine
The course has created a safe space to discuss, assess and help with no judgement, as we are all at different levels and head spaces.
— Kat
As a result of the course, I have discovered new ideas and approaches to understanding myself.

”Rowena is a fantastic speaker and facilitator, with a wonderful approach to guiding and holding the group.
— Phil
The resources have proved to be really useful. I think they will be resources I can turn back to time and again even when the course is finished.
