Our unique, holistic approach

Our approach uniquely combines practices, techniques and wisdom from Life Coaching and Yoga:

Life Direction Coaching is a positive, empowering method rooted in psychology and neuroscience. Through powerful questions it helps you open to creativity and inspiration, see things from a fresh perspective, tap into your own inner wisdom, and structure your thinking. So that you can clarify what you really want in your life, renew your life direction, find your own best way forward, and get going with it. You will be working on your own life vision and direction within a group setting – through guided coaching sequences and explorations on your own, in pairs and in  small groups, with some group sharing (where comfortable; no pressure or obligation to share).

Yoga is an ancient physical and mental life practice, which helps you create balance between body and mind and unite the naturally present opposites in the human system. From the vast array of practices we have selected those that facilitate and support reflection, insight and transformation: Support strong grounding; creativity; sense of self; opening body, heart and mind; expressing yourself clearly, accessing your own wisdom; and connecting to yourself and your higher purpose. Practices are suited to beginners and include breathing work, stretches, selected yoga poses and flows, and meditations.

Life Direction Coaching and Yoga practices are organically combined throughout the retreat weekend to engage your group holistically at the level of body, mind and soul.

Feedback from participant TR, Weybridge: Rejuvenated, confident and determined

“A wonderful two days spent rejuvenating, and growing in confidence and determination, in order to set about achieving what I want out of life. Without Monica, Muriel and the wonderfully supportive and caring women in the group, I probably wouldn’t have as much faith in this process as I do now!”

What other participants got from the retreat:

“Confidence, clarity, friendship!”

“I came out with firmer foundations for my desired life outcome.”

“The support of Monica, Muriel and the group gave me a lot of confidence!”

“I got focus, inspiration, new ideas and plans for how to make them real – I can and I will – cannot wait!  “

“Really great to take intentional time to plan what’s next in my life – change doesn’t happen by accident…”

“It helped me make a breakthrough I hadn’t fully realised I needed.”
