I wholeheartedly make my recommendation of Summer as a coach, as she actively listens, offers sound, unbiased guidance and helps you determine what really matters to you in an honest way by deconstructing the “what ifs”.
After 15 years as a project manager building roads, I decided to study at the National arts School and become serious about being an artist. It was an interesting transition; from black/white, legal/financial to imagination, aesthetics and colour. I was having a tough time as my primary relationship had broken down and my finances were a mess. I knew something had to change and it was me. I was grateful to meet Summer and start a weekly coaching session for two months. What I learnt about myself was fascinating. Amidst the transition all the guilt, shame, overwhelm and procrastination, Summer was my light at the end of the tunnel. She diligently turned up, goals in hand, checking and recording my progress and guiding me to make good decisions after thrashing out and highlighting the broken boundaries, unpaid loans to follow up, and relationship issues.
During coaching, I learnt how to change my mindset and stand up for myself, re-establish and create new boundaries which in turn improved my confidence. But more importantly, I learnt how to personally value myself more and let go of past traumas that was holding me back from fully expressing myself. After coaching, the results I achieved were immediate and ongoing; my finances are now in order, my relationships improved and I wrote a book.
Summer is not only an intelligent, thoughtful and gentle coach, but so much more. She was able to, (by questioning my motivation and other techniques) drill down to what I truly desired, not what I had habitually done. She was able to inspire me to take risks and earn the rewards. Summer is the reason I feel successful in my life now, I cannot recommend her highly enough. The pain of my past has left me, my future is bright and I’ve managed to not only survive but thrive under her watchful eye. Summer helped me work through what I was hung up on and gave me strategic guidance on how to move forward.
A year ago, I made the decision to change jobs and move cities. At that point I was emotionally exhausted and cynical about my career and my life in general. I expected the changes to be
invigorating and give me some much-needed direction, but all I found was a crippling anxiety and a sense of overwhelming helplessness creep into my everyday life. Instead of invigoration I felt more trapped than ever and I really didn’t know how to get out of the rut I was in.
Initially, I approached Summer because I was experiencing anxiety at work. I felt emotionally exhausted after each day and was not motivated to do anything except survive. We worked hard especially in the beginning, but Summer not only helped me to get my anxiety under control, she also helped me get my life back into focus. From her tips on meditation to her action plans to developing my goals, Summer was there guiding and supporting me the entire time. I have reclaimed my life and I am now excited about the goals I have set and the plans I am making.
What sets Summer apart from other coaches is that she really invests in you as a person. You are important to her. In the early stages, especially, she was there whenever I needed to talk about what was happening. She isn’t just a coach to me, she is a confidante and a trusted advisor.
When I look back on the last 8 months, I can see how much my life has changed and I don’t think I would have been able to get this far without Summer’s patience and support.
I would recommend working with Summer if you:
- Need help getting focus and direction in your life
- Need to make a change but do not know where to start
- Are struggling with an area in your life you would like to change
When I first started coaching with Summer, I really didn't think I needed coaching. I already felt a sense of clarity and calm, and progress and purpose in my life. However, within the first session, I was quickly humbled by the blindspots and blocks I wasn't seeing, and opportunities and actions I wasn't taking.
I know a great many good coaches but only a few GREAT coaches. After coaching with Summer, I can express with confidence that she is a GREAT coach, and I was impressed by her level of professionalism and skill, and the results we achieved in so short amount of time, in my career, business, and personal life. If you're looking for any kind of additional progress or results, I cannot recommend her enough. Make use of her! You won't be disappointed.
I am Seini, I’m an Artist: Performer, Presenter & Educator and if you knew me well, you would know that I show up 3000% for others. Although I truly value myself and what I contribute in the World, I would say that I have a few areas of life, where I have felt stuck, so much so that I would say that being stuck this way has held me back from my destiny and my ultimate success.
Working with Summer as my Coach, she has been a truly positive co-creative partner in supporting me in manifesting the life I truly want to live with the distinction of being a warm-hearted confidant, a fierce cheerleader when I take action, a friendly and reliable source of wisdom with a gentle but firm manner that makes it easy to trust her with my inner-most desires and dreams.
Summer pays attention in a way that feels nurturing but not suffocating. Summer supports you without being wish-washy. Talking with Summer makes it easy to shift and transform my identity and step into the person I truly desire to be, my best self.
I have been able to stay motivated and achieve in such a short time, things that I have been putting off for years! I’ve found that my personal life, my family life, my work life, my student life can all work together seamlessly and Summer has helped me dissolve the resistance I had, heal the wounds that sabotage me so that I can have endless energy to take inspired action in the direction of my ultimate destiny. In such a short time, Summer has helped me heal the most important relationship in my life, my relationship with myself.
I know that Summer can help anyone achieve anything, as their Coach. If you have any relationship that you would like to improve, whether it’s with a person, with your business, with your clients or even with yourself then Summer is the right coach for you.
Thank you Summer, for helping me dissolve an age-old wound and rise above the debris and propelling further towards my most fulfilling destiny. I am forever grateful that you are my Coach.
I left my job last year through frustration, I felt I had no purpose and was just ‘doing’ and knew there was more for me to give. I’m in the early stages of my business, so I have a million ideas and all the tasks to go with those ideas. (I help non-business people with their businesses, people who are brilliant creatives but not so confident in the business side of their business and marketing).
I was struggling with my focus and time management. I’m a detail-oriented person and can sometime get stuck in the analysis of things. I am aware of this but was unsure how to combat it. Summer’s approach helped me with tools to create new habits and each session we built on the last. I really love her manner - kind, open and gently firm. In our first call she got to know me and what my priorities were and where I needed help. Our following sessions stepped it up each time, diving deeper and doubling down to make it more manageable each week. I feel much more confident in being able to tackle multiple ideas and tasks in an achievable way (not go around in circles like I was).
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Summer as a coach.
Amidst the chaos of the Covid-19 pandemic, I resigned from my full time work. It'd become clear it's no longer serving me, and to me it's an easy decision as I used my values as my guidance. Within days I approached Summer to get coaching to help me to get clarity on steps and depth to the inspirations I'd been receiving since my resignation.
Summer asked me questions to assist me to delve deeper into myself. I have gained clarity on my mission, vision, action steps, topics for my blog posts, various ways to monetize, and a sense of peace knowing I'm on the right track. Thank you, Summer, for your work and your integrity.
