I’ve contacted a couple of life coaches and what I’ve received back just didn’t feel right for me, one was too corporate and the other lacked credentials, so I’m hoping you might be somewhere in between?

What kind of coaching is it?

Will this approach work for me? 

But surely no one sized approach fits all Brona? 

Are you a career coach?

What happens in a session?

This all looks very interesting. My online concern is that it’s all done online? I thought it might be in person.

What is the difference between coaching and therapy?

I’ve contacted a couple of life/business/career coaches and what I’ve received back just didn’t feel right for me, one was too corporate and the other lacked credentials, so I’m hoping you might be somewhere in between?

I received my official Professional Coaching Certificate from the International Coach Academy back in 2011 as part of the program, they recommend that you begin coaching immediately so I began coaching at the beginning of the program back in 2009.

I’ve worked my way up in the corporate world and have excelled in both business and sales.  I totally blend that with my explorative hippy side to offer you practical solutions full of miracles.

I have my Reiki Levels  I and II completed. I did Reiki I twice with two different teachers and on two totally different sides of the world.

I completed a 200 hr yoga teacher training in 2012. 

I’ve also completed courses in Tantra and psychic development.

I’ve sat in silence and meditation for 10 days at various locations around the world.

I’m a student of the Course in Miracles.  

BUT…. I’ve learned that none of that says much. We can do all the courses in the world, but unless we use and integrate what we have learned, it’s all theory and empty practises.

That’s what I’m committed to in my life and business.

What kind of coaching is it? 

The kind of coaching that goes deep because there’s where long lasting deep change is created. It’s also where an unbelievable wealth of power, inner knowing-ness, intuition and clarity reside within you.

This is transformational coaching where you transform what you don’t want into what you do want.

As we explore your inner world, your dreams, your deepest desires, what’s in your heart and your blocks naturally arise and as they do we transform them into powerful stepping stones forward.

So it’s both transformational and empowering.

You have the power in you to truly be the person you want to be no matter what hits the fan in your life.

Together we fully tap into your power to create the deep long lasting changes you truly deeply desire in your life, business and relationships.

We activate inside out success, happiness and balance so you get to be the healthiest and best version of yourself.

Will this approach work for me?

This is a tried, tested & proven approach.

If you are willing and open, and you invest time and energy into the process, yes.

Results do vary depending on where you are at.

It’s a mix of what has worked best for me in my own life and business: a blend of effective modalities that harness the power of your spiritual, mental, emotional and physical bodies.

To date, I’ve worked privately with 100’s of clients ( nearly at the 1,000) from all over the world, from different cultures and backgrounds, here’s what they regularly share with me after using this approach.

1. ‘Wow. I never knew this was possible for me.’

   ( This is normally shared after they experience a major letting go or a healing of a certain problem / challenge/ issue that has been weighing them down, or they have been struggling with for years. It can be shared after manifesting a result they desired, when an opportunity they never considered falls into their lap or when a door opens where previously none existed.)

2. 'After trying ( and spending money on) so many different approaches, this was the approach that worked for me.’

3. ‘This approach helped me remove the noise and clutter from my mind.’

4. ‘This approach has helped me find what was missing in my life/ business/ relationship: ME!’

5. ‘This approach helped me really listen deeply to my intuition and use my inner voice.’

But surely no one sized approach fits all Brona?

This type of approach/coaching is very much guided by your Higher Self, your spiritual dream team and the Divine.

It tailors itself to work with you and through you using Universal truths and laws around power and energy.

It can help you tap into and rewire your inner power so you stop creating what you don’t want and instead start creating what you do want.

Are you a career coach?

No. However…..

This work is so powerful that clients become their own career coaches.

Connecting with your purpose is SO powerful that it leads and guides the way.

As is creating an inside out vision which I do with my clients because a vision will activate a power far greater than you to act on your behalf. As is dissolving inner blocks in the way of all of the above.

As a result, the clients I work with get dream job offers with more pay, less stress and less hours.

Door opens where previously none existed.

Even during world pandemics.

And the jobs were happy side affects compared to everything else they received in our time together.

What happens in a session?

The sessions are collaborative as you and I team up together.

The beautiful thing is that the process takes on a life of its own. It really does. You are so supported and guided throughout. These sessions are very much guided by your Higher Self, your spiritual dream team and the Divine. 

We use the Power In You Transformational Approach™ which is a proven, tried and tested approach that activates ALL the power in you.

Everything whole in nature exists in 4 ( the 4 directions, blood types, seasons, earthly elements etc). 

You are like nature, you exist in 4.  Together, we tap into on all 4 of your bodies to create whatever it is you desire: spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically.

These are your 4 inner foundations upon which you build the empire of your life and business - hello inner stability!

So if you’re feeling stuck in one body, it can be that we need to release or activate the other bodies for alignment. 

Together, we hold space for you. We use a variety of relaxation techniques, guided visualisations and questions so that you to get the most out of each session.

Clients ENJOY showing up to sessions. It's all about them. Yes, we explore the darker parts of holding them back, but it is done with lightness. There's an emerging sense of anticipation and excitement about their future and what life has in store for them.

It is my intention that you get everything that you need each session.  It really is amazing what happens when we simply stop running and hold still for a while. Space really is powerful, and we inject that space with a spiritual potency that allows you to unfold in the best way possible for you.  

“Brona has a wide range of different visualizations, meditations, or other coaching tools that always seemed to fit perfectly for the issue I was struggling with. Often there were long periods of silence on the call as I struggled to put my feelings into words, but Brona allowed that space and I had some powerful realizations which I never would have given enough time to see.”

- Brandon 2011

“Wow Brona, things certainly shifted! The following day I felt like a new woman...though reality has slowly crept back in since! Still I feel something changed.

 I absolutely loved the session, I think everyone needs a Brona. I adore what you do  I see it as helping to break down the emotional barriers and 'stuff' that we are holding on to in order to be able to move forward into business and then success.”

 2014

“This service is amazing for realizing our true mind and heart. The guided meditations worked well to center me and find my inner guidance. The questions you asked helped me see where I felt blocked and lacked self-trust. The trust I developed with you allowed me to honestly share how I feel and what I think without fear of judgment. Skype and email allowed me the space to focus on myself as I didn’t have to worry about another physical presence in the room.”

- Young Joo 2014

“Honestly every session we did I loved, I found strength in each one. In between the sessions, I really loved being given tasks ....because it makes you carve out time to sit and think/write and delve deeper.”

- Julie Tierney 2014

“Brona has a vast collection of tools on which to draw in order to assist a wide variety issues and concerns.  I found that her sessions were grounding, empowering and provided assistance in creating a solid base from which to move forward to find new ways of doing things, and were extremely helpful in providing a structure to find clarity.”

- Jeni Wai  2010

“We began a journey, into the unknown for me, but Brona knew exactly where I was going. She guided me through every step and held the light for me when I couldn’t see past the darkness or hold my own light. She made me feel comfortable in every aspect of what we did together.  

I think that’s what stands out for me: I never felt alone during this journey. Brona was always there through visions and moments of silence. Brona held a space for me I can only describe as dignified, the space I needed in the silence to try recapture my voice, in the moments when I couldn’t get words out. She gave me tools to use in everyday life. I gained strength through each session, she was always there.”

- Susan Trehy 2016

“Brona has a wealth of knowledge and an abundance of techniques that helped me feel comfortable to speak openly about anything I needed to get off my chest. She also gave me the confidence and building blocks to take the necessary steps to resolving different issues and situations that I never would have dreamed of addressing previous to a coaching session. I still use these techniques today when something comes up.”

- Aine Deasy 2010

“Talk about something flowing and yet there was also a sense of stillness and the sacredness of what was happening between us. I don't think I will ever forget this. 

Sending you every grace and blessing. To be continued…………”

- Celine Slater 2015

This all looks very interesting. My online concern is that it’s all done online? I thought it might be in person.

There's a few different reasons for this:  

1. I started coaching in South Korea with an International accredited coaching school with a global reach, that was based in Melbourne Australia, so it's how I began my coaching journey. As a student coach, we coached online and globally. I had clients from all over the world, and as a coach now,  I still do. I have had the pleasure of coaching clients from nearly every continent, except Antarctica.  

2. I have moved around. This allows me to provide a consistent service from anywhere in the world. 

3. Coaching online serves the clients I work with. The coaching we hold space for goes deep. With the sessions recorded, clients do go back and listen to the session. They share that it is very cathartic for them. ( I have been coached myself by other coaches and I also find it very useful!)

   One of the tools used to support the client in getting the most out of the session is guided visualisation. We use this to tap into answers and solutions that are not always accessible to the rational mind that is in operation the majority of the time. Clients love listening back to their own answers. They receive more AHA's from listening back. Whilst in this deep level of relaxation, note taking is not possible as it interrupts the flow. Recording the session solves that. 

4.  Being at home allows clients to come off the call and be in their own space. Sessions can go deep so it works for the client to not have to rush out into the world immediately. 

5.  If you are camera shy, no worries. You can leave your camera off. One of the coaches I work with coaches with her camera off. 

I have had a few clients who opted for no camera, one of them had previously attended an in-person workshop. She opted for no camera. This falls away as people get more comfortable with being seen. 

This is your dance. It's about you doing what is comfortable for you. 

What is the difference between coaching and therapy?

I want to be very clear here: both approaches are useful.

I am a coach and I also advocate for therapy. Both are powerful, but again it can depend on where you are at AND on your choice of coach, or your therapist.

No matter who you choose, know this:

You are your own guru. Trust yourself & choose wisely. Just because someone is a certified whatever, doesn’t mean they know what’s best for you. You’re not broken nor are you in need of fixing either. When the shit hits in the fan in life, it a signal for change, growth and awakening. It’s a wake up call, not a sign that something is wrong with you.

Investing in coaching and therapy is EMPOWERING and act of self love.

On that note: what’s the difference between the two?

Therapy focuses on the past and on introspection and analysis. It moves the client from a place of dysfunction to function. 

Space is held to process traumatic emotions from the past so you can become more present in your life. 

Because of the pain you feel, you might not be able to function properly in the present moment, never mind thinking of your vision for your future. You’re just not there.

Coaching meets you in the present moment to look at what you want to invite into your life and business. Inevitably blocks and issues from the past arise as you welcome in your dreams and desires, but that’s all part of the process. You heal as you move forward. 

In coaching, you are an active participant in your own healing journey. Therapy is gentler as it acknowledges that you might not be ready to take action, or even talk about taking action.

With coaching, you are already functioning in the present moment and you are actively creating a future of greatness and success.

Please note:

I have had clients begin coaching, only to discover that a few sessions with a therapist were also required.

What’s the difference between you and a self help book?

A self help book is theory.

Working with me is experiential, practical and creates results.

As Goenka says:

“You can read a book about swimming, but if your boats sinks, how useful will it be to you?

To swim you have to get into the water and practise.”

People working with me should know that…..

1. “People working with Brona should know that they will be working with someone who has infinite wisdom and compassion. However, she will not be feeding them. She will not be doing their homework for them! She is not a babysitter, mother or a crutch. Nor is she a trainer that will crack the whip for people so they’ll do what they said they will do.”

- Young Joo Lee.

2. “Brona is here to guide people to themselves, and from there, encourage them to take full responsibility for their own lives.”

- Christina Rauska Dowling  River Coaching.

3. This is not a quick fix or magic bullet as Eve shares below:

 “I really didn't know what to expect with our coaching session. 

As always, I was hoping that we would finish our conversation and I would be able to pick up the phone and find that all of the complicated relationships in my life had sorted themselves out of their own accord, and that every worry I had would have magically disappeared. 

It wasn't *quite* like that; there was a bit of work to be done. 

But it didn't occur to me that I was "working" until it had passed--I just kept finding that each step would unfold as I let it.  Unlike before, however, I understood how to TRUST myself, and to trust the process, which is something new for me.”

4. The solutions you seek are not ‘out’ there in the world. They are in you. You are the change. This is where we begin: by connecting you with the power in you.

Are there payment plans?

Yes

Is your approach NLP based? Or CBT based? Does it incorporate mindfulness?

The Power In You Approach is one that I have developed over the past 12+  years. 

It’s a whole approach that touches all levels of your being - the spiritual, mental, emotional and physical. 

It’s a mix of what has worked best for me in my own life, finances, relationships and business. It’s also what has worked best with the clients I serve.

It’s a blend of effective modalities that harness the power of your spiritual, mental, emotional and physical bodies AKA the power in you.

When we are covering the mind, you will find elements in there similar to NLP and other mind based approaches.

Personally, I have just found that to really shift and make lasting changes requires an awareness and a tapping into on all levels.

The Power In You Approach does that.

The mind is powerful - really and truly so powerful and is an amazing tool when used in unison with our spiritual, emotional and physical bodies as well. It supports our focus. Using our other bodies we determine where to direct that focus.

For example, someone connected to their spiritual body is filled with purpose and meaning. They know what their gifts are, they are inspired by their dreams, their unique path. Once they have that clarity, the mind supports them in carrying this purpose out. Here, the the mind serves the Spirit.

The emotional body lets us know where they are in relation to that path.

The physical body is the container - the fundamental expression of the other three bodies.

The mind can become aware of patterns and problems but unless connected to the other bodies, in particular the Spiritual and the Emotional, the mind can stay stuck playing out those patterns and problems.

In my experience, we as a society tend to approach things from purely from a mental and/or physical level (our feminine power).

This means that you are only tapping into 50% of your inner resources and expecting 100% of the results.

Although change might happen, unless you harness the resources in your spiritual and emotional bodies, it will always require more effort, pushing, stretching, straining and willpower. Which leads to frustration, burnout, overwhelm, giving up, negative inner talk and so the cycle of self sabotage continues on.

Tapping into all 4 bodies is wholeness. It’s tapping into ALL of you and harnessing ALL of your inner power.

In my experience people overlook the spiritual and the emotional bodies ( our feminine power). The spiritual is what fuels enthusiasm, ease and perseverance. The emotional body is where change actually begins to happen on a cellular level in the body. Leave these out and your best laid plans fall prey to struggle and a re-emergence of so called ‘negative’ emotions and patterns.
