I have been receiving coaching from Dana on and off for a couple of years and whilst it is a little cliché I can honestly say she has changed my life.

Before working with Dana I felt a little stuck in a rut. I couldn’t even put my finger on why this was, or what changes I needed to make in my life in order to achieve happiness.

On my first meeting with Dana we looked at ‘the wheel of life’. This is where you rate each aspect of your life i.e. social, environment, work… etc. Whilst Dana facilitated the session the onus was on me to come up with answers and subsequent changes to work towards my end goals.

It was only on completing this exercise that it started to dawn on me that I needed to make bigger changes than I initially anticipated. I discovered certain areas of my life were massively unfulfilled and it was only from opening up to Dana and talking about my situation that I even became aware of how I was feeling. Dana acted as a sounding board and I felt completely comfortable to share private information with her and she remained completely impartial throughout, even when there were glaring warning signs staring me in the face. Dana would never pass comment or her own opinions on what I should do, but helped to guide me to come to realisation myself and to put forward my own plan.  

It is often so easy to get lost in everyday activities and go along with what we perceive to be our path in life that we don’t even think to allow time to ourselves to process thoughts internally. This is why it was so powerful to take stock and be able to talk openly to Dana to realise how I was actually feeling. Initially there was an element of denial to myself, but the wheel of life spoke for itself. As a visual I could see exactly where my life was lacking and Dana supported me in coming up with solutions and changes to make to improve these areas.
This resulted in making a huge decision / change that I never thought I’d be able to do. I am not going to lie, this was the hardest decision of my life and wasn’t easy; there were times where I doubted myself and whether I had done the right thing but over time I realised it was the best decision of my life. Often we have to take sideways (or even backwards) steps to leap forward in the long run. I am still not at my final destination but I finally feel like I’m on the right path. I still have regular sessions with Dana, which helps me set small, manageable goals between sessions. We also revisit the wheel of life and my scores overall have massively improved as well as my overall happiness and mental health.

I couldn’t recommend Dana enough. She is a fantastic coach, patient and kind and I believe she will be able to guide anyone to achieve their full potential. Dana works predominantly with women exiting abusive relationships, however has worked with me in all avenues of life (I am lucky enough to not have come out of an abusive relationship).

Dana has coached me in areas such as career, life style, image and overall quality of life.
