Rowena Hardy

Welcome!

When it's time to make the rest of your life, the best of your life ...

We have all found ourselves reminiscing and looking back at the past at times, sometimes with joy and laughter and sometimes with sadness and regret.

In doing that, there can be a tendency to distort and exaggerate making the good times seem better and bad times seem worse than they really were.

As a result, we can get stuck in a loop and focused on what was rather than what actually is and can be and creates dissatisfaction and a sense of unease which can combine to form dis-ease.

So if this is happening for you or you simply recognise that you want more from life, then its time for change and the first step is improving self-awareness. The key is to understand and accept exactly where you are in your life and learn from and let go of all that has happened to get you to this point.

So whatever it is that you're ready to release, then perhaps it's time to that. When you are ready and willing to make positive changes in your life, your life changes. You just need to give yourself permission to let go of whats gone before and embrace what comes next.

Call today and we can start the conversation.

What I do ...

Coaching
Based on the belief that the answer lies within, a good coach asks great questions to challenge thinking and change perspective. It offers a non-judgmental, confidential, safe space that allows time for reflection and helps you find answers to what has been getting in your way. Mine is not a one size fits all approach - I recognise and acknowledge that you need to align to your individual truth. We offer a unique holistic and therapeutic style that integrates a range of tools and techniques to support personal change allowing you to experience life in a more resourceful and satisfying way, if you're ready to do that.

1:1 Sessions
The first session runs around 1.5 to 2hrs (first half hour of first session free of charge) and gives us the opportunity to find out what it is you want to work on and take some background details. We then arrange ongoing sessions, as needed, running from 1 to 1.5hrs and designed to help you get the best from your time with us.

Group Sessions
We also offer introductory public and private group sessions about the work we do and core principles, tools, techniques and therapies used and can adapt content to suit. Please call us to discuss this.

Self Awareness
Improved self-awareness comes from understanding that we all run a set of unconscious programs and strategies to get us through life and create our individual reality and perception. These are established early in life and are a combination of beliefs, values, decisions, emotions, self-talk, internal images, language, culture, socialisation, history and more. We use various tools and techniques to assist with your understanding and release anything that may be holding you back and may allocate tasks between sessions to keep you on track.

What others say about me ...

• • Rowena, many thanks for your devoted time and effort. Even though I was sceptical to begin with and believed that, after 40 years, nothing would shift my flying phobia I was really keen to be rid of it. I now recognise what can be achieved through coaching in such a short space of time. After only four sessions you have set me free of my morbid thoughts and fear of flying and I feel so much lighter. I am now actually looking forward to my flights to Australia later this year. You are truly wonderful and I am very grateful.
    
    
  • As a presenter and business mentor, Rowena is incredibly knowledgeable and educated – while being warm, welcoming and genuinely interested in helping others to achieve their goals.  She’s very straightforward, offering advice and guidance that teaches you but also allows you to discover your own answers.  I always enjoy seeing Ro, as I know I will come away feeling uplifted, inspired and ready to take on the world.
    
    
  • I have experienced a broad palette of Rowena’s work and in all instances, her contributions come forth from a common ground of reverence to the human spirit. In one-to-one mentoring there is open space and care; in facilitating group sessions around connection and relationships there is encouragement, consideration and enthusiasm; as a collaborator there is creativity and curiosity; and as a personal guide Rowena shows grace, humour but most importantly, walks the walk. I regularly refer clients and friends to work with Rowena based on her authenticity, exceptional skills at imparting practical tools and obviously her big heart.
  • I have been seeing Rowena for a number of years now for business coaching. I turn to Rowena when work pressures cause me to not be able to “see the wood for the trees” and I am usually in a total state of burnout. She helps me unpack my thinking, refocus on my values and have clarity as to how to move forward. Rowena has also helped me enormously with managing my stress levels and balancing the pressures of being a business owner, a wife and a mother. She has given me various strategies to work more efficiently and calm myself in times in trying moments.  I have learnt so much about myself though seeing Rowena, which has helped me better understand how to manage myself. I seem to walk into Rowena’s office feeling like an absolute mess and wanting to run away from everything; and leave feeling absolutely ‘pumped’ and ready to take on the world. I call Rowena my “witch doctor” because in the space of an hour, she seems to be able to make me do a total 180 in my attitude and energy levels.  Rowena is an essential part of my “A” team, that helps me perform at my best. She is my ‘personal trainer’ for my mind.  I have encouraged many friends and clients to also see Rowena for various issues and they have all had great experiences and outcomes with Rowena.
