Michaela Smith - Transformational Coach - Christchurch

Jennifer Smith

Michaela has been a great help with confronting my impostor syndrome. After three sessions i am feel more confident and not like a fake every day. Thanks to her guidance i was also able to confront my feelings and speak my truth to my line manager, this lead to a great conversation and hopefully a better working relationship.

I'm working with Michaela on my own limiting beliefs. Michaela is very knowledge, powerful and empathetic. She creates a safe and loving space to work in, and works from her experience and heart. I recently attended a group workshop, which was a lovely, uplifting experience, and quite powerful.

I have been working with Michaela for a number of months. There has been significant changes both in my personal and business life.

What can I say? She has made me understand why I behave, react, feel and believe as I do. This understanding is teased out through Michaela working with me and thoughtful challenges.

As a result I am so much more confident and productive, particularly in my business life.

I thank you for your patience and support in this process Michaela.

I had my first taster session with Michaela and can already feel a huge shift in mindset and perspective. I came to her feeling like I could do with some work on my imposter syndrome, amongst other things.

When we started the session I wasn't sure what to expect, but was open to give it my best shot. Michaela made me feel comfortable from the beginning, so I knew I could be vulnerable and felt like I was in a safe space.

As we went through the session Michaela was great at holding space for me as I became emotional, and allowed me to explore my feelings and release my emotional blockages. It felt really good.

I took it easy for the rest of the day after our sessions and stuck to the tasks that we had set for the following days. I didn't immediately feel different, but I was really surprised that over the next weeks I noticed subtle differences in my confidence and how I approached situations, definitely something i'd like to explore further!

Writing this a good few weeks after our session I can notice a clear shift in my mindset and how I feel - there is still work to be done, but I feel like i'm on the right track now.

It's hard to find a coach that you feel comfortable with immediately, and this is exactly what Michaela gave me - I can wholeheartedly recommend her!

I came out completely different from when I went in!!!
Lighter, more clarity, motivated and engaged?
Michaela was so focused and professional it was a breath of fresh air to work with her.
I will definitely be going back and I highly recommend her.

It was one of the best decisions to start working with Michaela and start working on myself. Michaela has provided a great support and feedback during our sessions.
It helped me a lot to look on many things and situations from different angle and perspective. And to realise that I can change many of things.
I would really recommend Michaela to everyone who wants to develop and "open their eyes and hearts". 🙂

In just a few short months of working with Michaela, I have experienced what I can only describe as exponential internal growth. I was able to easily identify the areas I wanted to work on and incorporate strategies to feel empowered and move forward. Michaela helped me to understand my triggers and identify a new mental framework for relationships where I can express what I need without feeling guilty.
After working with Michaela for over 7 months, I was able to clearly define my priorities to achieve greater work/life balance, which was having a significant impact on other aspects of my life. With Michaela’s supportive coaching style, I was able to span the personal & professional spectrums , it’s like getting two coaches for the price of one. She’s great at understanding the whole person and I would highly recommend her for anyone looking to make changes in their life for greater overall satisfaction.

Michaela is absolutely brilliant at what she does. In a single session with her, I have made more progress and growth than I have done in months. She is calm, wise, nurturing and safely guides you through a session to reach a better place on the other side. Highly recommended
