In this corner of the PIY world, you get to read up and hear from those whose lives have been touched by this work.

I would highly recommend Brona and I believe she is the woman for every woman. I feel she is so tuned in to the power of femininity.
I would say to any one partnering up with Brona to trust her completely.
To allow her into your heart and she will she ease your mind and erase the false slave self. She will set your soul on its true journey that is the higher path for you. Your true self, your flow self. I am in a constant state of flow, gone are my old states of flight, fright , freeze and fawn(people pleasing) .
I chose to work with Brona after I attended one of her Sacred Circles a month before Covid landed. 21st February 2020 to be exact.
Her visualisation meditation opened up a whole new world for me.
I believe it initiated my leap of faith to sell my house in a Leap Year to this new phase in my life. I also recognised that I was changing for the better very quickly, dropping my old life and unhealthy relationships . Changing work as a result of the Pandemic that rocked all our worlds.
I knew from our first encounter that she had the power to support me to make and create new waves of changes. It was an innate knowing that I needed to reach out to her again for her PIY services.
And my experiences of working with Brona were bigger than I expected.
I chose the 3 month package because she is not the average life coach, she is an energy healer ultimately with a heart of gold, an alchemist is my feeling about her.
I trusted that 9 sessions with her would be super transformational and valuable time invested.
Our zoom times were so effective and the unexpected always arose, the parts of myself I lost were found again. Her capacity to link each session from where we left off was so important to me. She worked as hard as I did to piece the real me to my purpose and quests for Love or above and more. She listened, tuned in, explored my worlds, feeling every feeling with me so I felt so understood, accepted, respected, supported , carried, held and then anchored fully so I felt I could integrate what came through effortlessly.
In between each session we communicated with ease and she always went above and beyond with her offerings and skill sets.
My biggest life changing wins was how she opened up my intimate side . My woman hood, the power of love, so much so within a month of working together I met my new partner. Secondly she levelled out any doubt about my identity. I am a Reflexologist with a clear defined path and I am so excited about igniting my practice again. I am on my way to being self-employed with a new confidence to learn about business . I am not afraid to venture into the unknown.
Finding intimate love and life purpose simultaneously is a miracle.
I am encapsulated in pleasure, persistence, progress and productivity . I am ALIVE. Amen to Brona Malone.

“I would recommend Brona for all women, especially those that are serious about themselves, their dreams, and their businesses.
Brona's a stellar superstar mentor and coach who supported me in working through the mental and spiritual blocks that were stopping me from putting my services out there. I've just finished a 30 day programme for 30 women and it wouldn't have happened without Brona's wisdom, support, expertise and one woman cheerleading squad.”
Treasa Spragg | Zumba Queen & Sleep Expert @ Revolution Project | www.revolutionproject.com
“ Brona is like NO OTHER!
She can get you to a place that is challenging to get to on your own. I have been coached by her and she is beyond incredible. What I received from her is still with me.. and it’s been years since our last session.
After the session…
I would recommend this for anyone who wants to meet themSELVES. Brona is a gifted listener and intuitive that gets down to the core of what you want to know, and helps bring it out to the light. Her connection to Spirit comes out in her questions and the support she provides.
After our session, I felt more in touch with my Divine self and more assured that the road I was on, was the right one. I felt like i had met myself and Brona guided me to the truth I was having a difficult time seeing.
This work brought me to a sacred space. It really felt like I was speaking with my ‘essence’. I am now able to go there on my own, and was reminded that is ‘space’ is always available to me. Brona helped me get the answers from myself that i had been searching for. I gained peace and relaxation. I also gained confidence with the plans I was making. I left with a sense of inner ‘knowing’.”
Christina Rauska Dowling | Coach | Christina River Coaching
“Brona - You have opened up this whole new world of possibilities to me. I never knew I had the capacity for real change until you rocked on into my zoom app, got into my head and started moving the furniture around! You and this work are a miracle to me. I love your bravery, honesty and your ability to give so much to so many - It's quite incredible. I love your strength, and your ability to be hard on the issue, but gentle and compassionate on the person. As you would say "this is deep work", and you have lead and guided us all beautifully. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much. You honestly have changed my life.
From the bottom of my heart, I thank you so much. You have honestly have changed my life.”
Sally Delaney | Wicklow
“The help Brona Malone has given me is more than I could have imagined. She definitely has a magic touch.
Pretty life changing things have happened, I am welling up in tears thinking about it. Really massive shifts in me, my personal life and the business, and as a result of the business. It's been huge and not just one thing, so many things across the board.
Both times I have worked with her have been invaluable. Life affirming. When you work with Brona, it’s not the top superficial level you work on, you go right to the core, and process the change you want to see or be, from the very depths of your soul. (I know that sounds perhaps a bit deep and scary, but it’s truly a really amazing thing)
My business is about to expand, which would not have happened had I not worked with Brona.
I have no doubt about it in my mind, if you are open and willing, her work will help you get to the place you need to be, or want to be. Brona is the person to look to.”
- Naomi Sheridan | Owner of NOMS Store & Devotee of Sustainability & Nutrition | www.noms.ie
“I was at a stage in my life where I knew I needed some help shifting my thought processes and de-clutter all the noise in my head to be able to move forward to create a business and life I have been dreaming of.
I have just taken my first step of moving out of London which through the help of Brona’s coaching is something I have seen as being the first step in creating my deepest desires. Truly recommend the amazing work Brona does, and it’s a safe space where you are able to work at a pace that you want. x”
Jules Gilmour |Yoga Teacher | Wellness Retreat & Event facilitator | www.julesgilmour.com
“The experience was unlike anything I imagined could be possible.
That is what stands out the most-- the uniqueness of your approach. As someone who thinks very much about my personal and spiritual growth and has previously gone (and enjoyed therapy), I've never had a breakthrough as valuable as our time spent together.
I would recommend this service to people who are already interested in meditation and personal development. The tough part is describing what I experienced to other people. I feel like your sessions are so unique, and the revelation so strong that the concept can be quite foreign to people. (2013)
Our sessions still resonate in my life, and I think about them regularly. (2016)”
Liz Tran | Founder of Reset NYC & Coach for Modern CEO’s | www.resetnyc.com
“Brona, working with you has been some of my deepest most profound experiences. I had never experienced anything like it before. I never understood the idea of inner work, healing, true calling and soul's desire until working with you.
Through your guidance I fell so madly in love with myself. I didn't need external validations, I am so much more in tune with myself and my soul, I fell in love with love again!! The truest essence of my being. I love love! I had forgotten it for a while.
I have such a deep sense of who I am and I love who I am from the bottom of my heart to the depth of my soul. Because of this self love I met my soul mate, I left a job I wasn't happy in, I got the job I wanted, I represented my country at a world Cup (I have this written down in a little journal I had as a young girl as a life goal!!!! How proud she would be of me!!), I have an awareness of life’s lessons and gifts, I am powerful, I am worthy, and I am deserving.
You have redefined the term women in power and women in business for me!!! You have given me hope, excitement and a HELL YES to living my soul’s desire. Thank you for living your purpose. The world needs it!! Just as the world needs me living my soul purpose!!!!"
To you the reader…
I can't recommend Brona enough. If you’re considering working with Brona, I also can't encourage you enough to explore your own journey with Brona as your guide. Reconnecting with yourself on such a deep level will open up so much more than you can expect.
Brona is professional, personal, deep and powerful, and above all she cares. I am so grateful and I know I will be investing in myself again (under the guidance of Brona) in the future because I am worth it!
While initially the main thing I wanted to get out of our time together was a clear focus and direction in my life - career wise - I got so much more!
After our first session I felt enlightened, the energy trail was incredible and opened up a whole new way of healing for me. It was such a beautiful experience to encounter my self (past and future) it gave me such clarity.
It helped me to find the answers I was looking for, it showed me compassion towards myself, it gave me comfort and contentment. While I continue with my healing it has given me a focus and something to call upon.
Based on my own personal experience from working with Brona I can't recommend her enough. I also can't encourage you enough to explore your own journey with Brona as your guide. Reconnecting with yourself on such a deep level will open up so much more than you can expect.
Brona is professional, personal, deep and powerful, and above all she cares. I am so grateful and I know I will be investing in myself again (under the guidance of Brona) in the future because I am worth it! ‘
Rachael O’Hegarty | Ireland
“I can't sing enough praise about Brona Malone and all that her coaching business has done for my personal well being and professional life.
I hope that others are as fortunate as myself to say that Brona has helped them recognize their own path towards success, light, and love.
My accomplishments thus far would not have been possible without her guidance, care, and positivity.
She’s kind of like my own Mr.Miyagi.”
Laura Vandermolen | Canada
“Brona, you have opened me up to myself and the world. You guided me on the path back to my true self, which I knew was there but had lost. You have held me, held space for me, listened to me, supported me, called me out when I needed it, held a mirror up to me when I needed it.
You're a very special energy.
To you the reader…
I would highly recommend this service to everyone!
Your time is now and Brona is your key to unlocking your best self!
Several stunningly clear results have resulted from my time working with Brona. I quit my job and found a new one! I have made peace with elements of my past and my younger self. It gave me the insight and courage to leave the past decade behind and embrace 2020 and beyond with loving self compassion and new tools to make the new decade my best yet!
Before I started working with Brona, I had the overwhelming sensation that I was just not living my best life, the best version of myself that I could be. I felt I was coasting - getting by. Wanting to make great changes but never committing to anything.
I was living superficially. I knew that certain elements of my life were tough or not working and I would from time think about it or try some new routine, so it never touched on the core of the issue and I was always very fearful of what lay beneath my own surface. In the past I had tried crazy diets and routines that were not sustainable in order to get a sense or order and control over my life. I punished myself with gruelling work hours and didn't look after my emotional or physical wellbeing. I had spent 3 or 4 years aimlessly jumping from one quick fix to the next.
Working with Brona was a tough love experience - it wasn't easy at times as you are confronted by your own limiting beliefs but the love, empathy and compassion from Brona is second to none. Her tools and guidance to help you open up are subtle but powerful. Plus you know Brona has done this work herself and continues to do it so she is right there with and understands. I enjoyed my sessions very much and looked forward to each date in the diary. Brona was incredibly generous with her time working to my schedule and is the pinnacle in professionalism - always on time, always prompt with follow ups and emails, always in communication.”
Helen Cooke | Event Consultant
“I watched and listened to Brona coach several women, including myself, helping each one to move through and past emotional/spirit blockages, and move toward manifesting their desires.
Prior to my session with Brona, I was feeling happy, like I was moving toward something bigger, on a path, but that it wasn’t quite within reach; like I needed more guidance, or a bit of a push, or some kind of subtle shift to really bring things into focus. The issues I was working on were self-worth and receiving.
I did an intensive session and I felt heard and seen and supported by Brona, and by the content of the session. I left feeling like something had indeed shifted and solidified for me; like my sense of being able to own my worth deepened.
Through this work, I challenged some perceptions that were holding me in place. I also felt, through the space Brona holds, my power and my worth.
Brona has an infectious, loving, healing, positive energy that you cannot help but take on and believe. Most of all, in yourself. She is a gifted and insightful coach, and I wholeheartedly encourage anyone who has a chance, to work with her. Your life will expand in the best ways! ”
Leslie Pereira | NYC
“My experience with Brona was nothing short of amazing. Our sessions immediately had the comfort of meeting with a best friend, as Brona clearly comes from a place of non judgement. Even through a virtual atmosphere, there was a sense of trust and understanding. Things were organised, clear and very effective. I looked forward to our sessions, even when I wasn't quite sure what would come out of them. Sometimes the big aha’s wouldn't come for a day or two after the session as things began to sink in and become clearer.
The best thing about Brona is she works WITH you. If something isn't working, she will take a different approach. If something isn't resonating she will find something that will.
Before we started working together, I was feeling lost, confused, and stuck. I felt as if I had no direction in my life. I didn't know why I was where I was, what I was going to do next, or even a hint at what I wanted to do next I thought that I had hit rock bottom before in my life, but this was different. I was so confused I didn't know which way was up.
I thought that I had just lost my boyfriend, the person that I had imagined that I would spend the rest of my life with, but in reality, it was a lot more than that. I wasn't really sure who Nadi was. My relationships weren't working. I had a perfect relationship to everyone else, but it was unfulfilling. I was doing a "job" for the pay check, and transitioning into the idea of finding a new place to call home (although I didn't know it at the time).
I was tired, burnt out, dull, and anxious.
I HAVE HAD SO MANY WINS IT IS RIDICULOUS!! I tear up when I even think about it.
1. I have direction. I know to trust my instincts. The important thing is I listen to myself now, the Universe is guiding me. My heart knows what's best for me. I just have to give it time and space to hear it.
2. I have just accepted a job offer of my dreams. I have been accepted into a grad program so I can follow the urge of embracing culture and education.
And I know that these things are right for me. Not my dad. Not my mom. Not because my best friend is there. Not because my boyfriend is there. This was all me.
3. I came to Brona with a broken heart and convinced I had ruined my shot at love. Now, my relationship status is 'single' still but I’ve come out with a relationship with myself. I know how to treat myself, how to listen to myself, how to give myself time and space. Loving and accepting myself is the most important relationship of all. It is a work in progress, but I'm fuller than ever.
4. I still have hints of anxiety every now and then but I finally understand where it comes from... a lack of trust in the future. I trust it now. I definitely get scared but my anxiety is way, way less.
I see the people I want, I am much more open with everyone. I have seen some relationships diminish and some increase. Overall, I am being much more myself. I'm not trying to be someone that I am not. I have the confidence to speak my truth - and have seen positive effects with my students, parents of the kids that I tutor and more open and honest conversations with friends.
My experience with Brona was nothing short of amazing. Our sessions immediately had the comfort of meeting with a best friend, as Brona clearly comes from a place of non judgement.

I recommend this service to anyone that is feeling lost, stuck, confused…”
Nadalena DeJulio | USA / Cambodia
“Brona offers real support and insightful help and guidance that you feel is coming from a really genuine, caring place. She is a welcome antidote to the harshness, severity, and unforgiving nature of the corporate world.
I would whole-heartedly recommend Brona to anyone seeking to make change in their life or who feels they need help/support in reaching their goals. Brona is not there to do the work for you, but will provide the guidance and insight to help open you up to your own possibility and potential. It really is like having a great coach in your corner that you know you can trust with anything, and that you know has your back.
Caitriona Foley | Ireland
“Before working with Brona, I felt lost and certainly not the person I knew I once was or could be.
I was unsure of life’s direction, although confident in appearance I always doubted myself when surrounded by people I viewed as superior, I felt I wasn’t as good or as knowledgeable. I faced financial challenges along with lack of self-belief. I had no idea what my future would be like and whether I could support myself and family.
I had no idea how to deal with these challenges and looked to others to see what they were doing, and panicking that I wasn’t doing it, I needed to do so many things that I did nothing because I had no direction and nowhere to focus my energy. Over the last 5 years I had tried business clubs, networking business associates along with friends advice. Nothing worked and all left me doubting myself further.
I found Brona extremely easy to work with, she was light hearted and extremely caring while incredibly diligent and professional. She has and incredible gift to bring out the best in people and bring you to places in your mind that you never thought possible. She understands what is really important in the world and helps people be true to themselves and others.
My biggest win is the comfort of knowing who I am and always will be. That I have power to live the life I want and choose, to live from the inside out and stop allowing my view of the outside, dictate my direction.
Brona helped me feel calm for the future, find clarity and helped me not to live in fear.
I have clarity of what I now want to do, I don’t know all the details but I will find them and they will find me, I have a plan and it will change but I know that’s ok.
I was always told to thank my lucky stars and I stopped or I forgot, Brona brought that gift back to me and reminded me to be grateful everyday, which is a wonderful gift in itself.
I most definitely recommend Brona to anyone who feels unsure of their journey, people who feel disconnected and unfulfilled. People who know they have more to offer the world and want to make a change in their life, from a personal or career perspective. People who know they have love in the hearts but can’t share it.You know who you are if you are reading this – Brona is brilliant and a breath of fresh air in a pond full of corporate coaches and sharks, she is different and truly genuine and caring.
A year later…
Just a note to say you’re a little witch (not ugly nor wicked) quite the contrary, but a witch all the same.
Now there are many types of witches, ones we run from and ones we run to.
The word witch comes from old English and was linked to the words, wit, wise and wisdom but in its practice differs from wizardry and sorcery as she doesn’t necessarily require the use of tools in wielding her magic (unless we consider Zoom a tool) but rather casts her spells in thought, power, energy, laughs and smiles instilling belief in her subjects/clients and bringing forward and awakening the power and energy within her subjects to allow them cast their own spell and realise the ‘hocus pocus’ within.....
The year has moved along quickly, but I will always hold extremely special and instrumental, the work we did in our sessions. The power of thought was always with me but unfortunately I was too often focused on the wrong thoughts. You helped me find my clear path, ‘what’s in the way is the way’ and all of a sudden those obstacles are no longer obstacles, but opportunities.
Not sure if you remember how I wrote several thing down that I told my future self and my spirit that I was looking forward to and grateful for.
Maybe not so I’ll remind you …
1. Thank you for all the people I haven’t yet met but I am looking forward to meeting them. Tick.
2. Thank you for the financial freedom and increased income. Tick .
3. Thank you for the clarity in my business. Tick.
4. Thank you for the wonderful hobby it bring such joy to my life. Tick.
5. Thank you for showing me the power and energy within. Tick tick.
6. Thank you for the steady stream of clients and the opportunity to work with people whom I like and connect with. Tick.
Everyday is a different day and holds all sorts of surprises and joy.
Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not on the set of Mary Poppins, but certainly life is good and not as scary or grey as I thought. We still have little blips on the journey but that’s kinda fun, dumping the shit I don’t need.
Forever grateful… Cathal Dineen

“I have BIG news. I have managed to get a new, amazing job that came from nowhere during this global pandemic and have also met a lovely guy. I have been seeing 111 11:11 and 2222 everywhere the past few months, it's been so weird and definitely the Universe giving me messages. I've also seen people I haven't seen for a while and the amount of them that have said, there's a different energy about me, of having my s*** together, a confidence and contentment they've not seen before.
I've come along way from feeling lost, caged & confused.”
Becky Murray | UK
Right after the session:
“I've thought about what we talked about in our session today, and it’s followed by a natural, restorative breath. In many ways I feel like I'm breathing deeper than I have in a long time when it comes to that topic.
Brona, you are such a gifted healer. I wouldn't be me without your guidance!
A few weeks later:
When I realized that I needed some assistance processing my emotions, I knew Brona was the person I wanted to work with. She’s warm, insightful, and a wealth of knowledge. I feel like I can tell her anything, and she teaches concrete strategies to help ease whatever burden I’m wrestling with.
My coaching session was well-priced and well worth it. I could have worked with any number of coaches here in Chicago, but I’m so glad I reached out to Brona in Ireland.
Best of all, she recorded our session for me and I am able to revisit it and remind myself of the conclusions I came to and the comfort I felt during the session. I will absolutely work with Brona again as I continue to cultivate abundance in my life, and I would recommend her services to anyone looking for answers, direction, or peace within.
Jaclyn Jones | Chicago
“I felt very intuitive during our time together. I began to see and believe that I have all the answers inside of me. I have always searched for them outside but Brona was great at seeing the parts in me that were just waiting to be expressed.
Brona’s intuition seemed well-developed and usually correct. I would recommend her to anyone seeking meaning and balance in their life.
She was consistently brilliant throughout the entirety of each session. She had 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 she allowed that space and I had some powerful realizations which I never would have given enough time to see.
Sometimes the exercises brought me to tears and it was not unusual for me to feel an increase in emotion during our calls. This was very cathartic and eye-opening. Seeing the power that some beliefs still had over me was especially powerful. Brona helped me work through a lot of self-limiting beliefs that became uncovered throughout the coaching process, as a result, my passion started to come out more and more.
Brandon Koch | USA
“Working with Brona woke me up to my own life, and I would highly recommend her services!
Since working together, I’ve had offers from numerous companies, before settling on a role that I am now super excited about.
My income, team and work environment is completely transformed.
My relationships, family and friendships all improved.
I became calmer, more focussed, and published a poetry book (which was a lifelong dream).
I also began an art instagram account that gained a surprising following.
Brona was an incredible guide. At the time we worked together, I knew I was missing ‘something.’ I couldn’t define what that was, until my sessions with Brona opened up the realisation that I was still running from deeper things in my life - it also meant I didn’t have a proper gauge on what would actually make me happy.
I've been to therapy, to spiritual guru's, doctors - the whole shebang (frankly, I was quite tired of talking about what was 'wrong' with me). I've looked for solutions in different ways ever since I realised I was different, so it's been 15/16 years at least.
Brona is one of the only people I've come to for help that explored my shadow or darker emotions without making me feel like they were figments of imagination, or something to be ashamed of.
Brona wasn't afraid to ask about the hard things that have happened in my life - but instead of going into a conversation where we just stayed stuck in those heavy emotions, she helped me process them differently.
Actually, she empowered my darker emotions to move into a space where I could see where they came from, how they had been useful or protected me, and then, I began to realise I was gaining massive compassion for myself.
It was pretty beautiful, to be honest. Thank you, Brona!
I would recommend this service highly for those interested in moving forward, and for those interested in energy work, in spiritualism, in looking at darker qualities to be free of them - that's it, anyone searching for freedom from their own 'stuff' - go to Brona. That' s all I have to say ;)
I think the fact that I would want more, and the changes I've seen in such a short time of working with Brona speaks for itself. I also think that the service is one that is highly mature - I felt held throughout.
With tonnes of gratitude,
Aishling ❤️✨”
Aishling Heffernan | Ireland
“To anyone who is considering partnering up with Brona for coaching, I would say go for it.
You will be able to take some time to really ask yourself some questions that you've needed to ask yourself, and she will guide you to those exact questions, that maybe you've been avoiding. She will gently guide you to expressing your vision, your dreams, and give you exercises to get you on the path to realising how to find them in your life, all the while supporting you and believing in you as you do.”
Jennifer Waescher | www.jenniferwaescher.com
“I felt that I wasn’t quite living up to my potential, and that I had more to offer the world. Although I had been pursuing acting for the last number of years, I knew there was something else I needed to be doing. The sporadic nature of acting work proved quite challenging at times and financially I wasn’t free.
Working with Brona has helped me get clear with the fact that I would love to teach meditation and mindfulness. The shifts that occurred over the course of the sessions allowed me to peel back and let go of some of those layers that were holding me back, and limiting my belief in myself. I made the decision to enroll in a Meditation Teacher Training, which I am currently doing and I feel like it’s one of best things I have ever done in my life.
Brona is a heart-centred, empowering and gifted coach. When you choose to work with her she will guide you to deeply connect with that inner sacred part of yourself that knows ALL the answers, whilst allowing you to understand, acknowledge and shift through the core shadow feelings which can hold you back from tapping into your full potential.

“For me it was a life changing experience. I realized that I had been holding onto things for a long long time and that they served me no more.”

“I really can't recommend Brona Malone enough. I have worked with Brona on and off for the past 5 years. She has helped me reach incredible places, I would never have reached alone or with the numerous books, I've purchased. Brona helps you to go deep and connect with your inner self and to realize how often we let our egos take precedence over our true desires, due to fear. All I can say is she is worth every penny and more. I am always looking forward to our next session.
If you want to achieve your true potential make the call! “
Paula Heaney | Chief Juicer @ www.skinnymalinkys.com
“After first session:
'Hi Brona, I really enjoyed our session yesterday and felt like I got so many insights that I hadn't thought about before. I woke up this morning without a weight in my chest, finding it easier to breathe, for the first time in a few months. I definitely can feel something brewing already and for this reason, I'd like to continue coursework with you and schedule some more sessions.
I completed both of the writing exercises today and really enjoyed them. I also ordered the books you recommended and am looking forward to reading them.
Please let me know what next steps are, thanks!'
6 months later….
Hi Brona, You popped into my head this week because I realized that we started working together exactly a year ago and oh my gosh, so much has changed! So much has changed even in 6 months but I still have you to thank for putting me on my journey and really soul-searching - as well as digging into some awesome books and authors.
I’m launching my own travel planning business and I'm happy to announce that I'm very close to launching my website. I'm also doing tons of writing about travel, which is my dream.
I love what I do every day. I wake up and plan these amazing adventures for clients and I couldn't be happier working from home and working on something I love.
"The work" really does work.
Now, I'm just working on manifesting the money to hit my income target but I know I can after seeing how easily I manifested the other things.
Brona, I'm so glad that *** told me to work with you and amazed at all the things that came out of the small seeds we started.
I hope everything is well with you and thank you, Marisa”
Marisa De Salvio | Luxury Travel Adviser @ www.desalviotravel.com
To anyone considering working with Brona.. Brona is here to guide people to themselves, and from there, encourage them to take full responsibility for their own lives.
Thank you Brona, as always. You are a beam of light in my life, reminding me of my potential and mission
Thank you for always showing up for me and giving your all for my growth. Thank you for asking the right questions that made me realise where my blocks were. You did so in a way where I didn’t feel threatened. If I felt threatened, I would have quit long time ago.
You have used ways to help me face some really difficult things that I was scared to look at in myself, and in ways that makes me believe I can do it, in my own time. without pressure.
I have benefited by learning the ways you coach with compassion, openness, non-judgment and flexibility.
The 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.
Working virtually and via email allowed me the space to focus on myself as I didn’t have to worry about another physical presence in the room.
What I liked the best is that all the focus was on ME! It was about me showing up and allowing me to be who I am. I feel great about the investment I made for me.
A few months later…
The exhibition, performance and the book are all great! I have begun performing live with my original songs so I’m singing in front of more and more people. I have diligently and consistently showed up for all the areas of my life that I decided to commit to.
I am very proud of the huge steps I have taken this year and recognize that I have the undying will and passion to continue forth. !!! Fantastic!
I wouldn’t have gotten really far with writing and drawing if I didn't do this groundwork beforehand, to really sort through how I perceive my life.
Young Joo Lee | South Korea
“A year ago I worked with Bróna we worked on my search for clarity and figuring out my blocks. A year ago I wrote what I wanted, and I recently discovered these words. I wanted to do a one woman comedy show. And now I'm here in rehearsal for my show that starts on the 6th of March. Clarity and intention, check and check!
I’m convinced she’s a witch…..
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.
I would recommend this to anyone feeling a little lost or purposeless. Somebody who needs reminding of there beauty and power.
What really stood out for me was the guided meditation where I met my older and younger self. I can still feel the warmth in the room and the powerful feeling of it all. I still draw on the words and advice I got.
Julie Tierney | Ireland
“I wanted to let you know how motherfucking POWERFUL our session was, and how it's brought up more in me than I ever imagined.Thank you for being amazing and helping me open doorways inside of my soul. Your work changes lives. Changes my life. So, um, THANKS FOR THAT!
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.
Above all, the most life-changing, earth-shattering, mind-blowing after effect is that I realize that I am okay JUST THE WAY I AM; my feelings are not wrong; my dreams are not stupid or deluded; I am a valuable person, and for no other reason than because I BELIEVE IT. That is a gift beyond measure.
Eve Ellenbogen | ‘Everyone Is Doing Better Than Me' Podcast Host & Stand up Comedian | NYC
Right after the session..
“Hi Brona, Thank you so much for the incredible gift you gave me today. I am so delighted to experience your work. May you continue to flow :-) Celine x
Weeks later…
So Brona, it's late in the evening. I have listened to the recording, amazed, fascinated, emotional, not to mention a lot of laughter, joy and most of all gratitude for having met you.
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 | Intuitive Artist | www.creativepresence.ie
“Buckle up because Brona is a master at holding safe & sacred space for your clarity to show itself.
She’ll guide you to turn on the light switches all around you, ones that you couldn’t see before, which will all help illuminate you. So now you’re standing in your truth, the one you’ve chosen. Powerful work. Thanks for the clarity Brona!
Harriet Mc Lanka | Align Spa | www.alignspa.com
“As someone who has had many different types of therapy over the years in an effort to treat trauma, skin/lung/digestive-tract complaints and chronic fatigue, utilising both conventional and alternative methods: from countless sessions with qualified psychotherapists/psychiatrists to treatments of reiki, kinesiology...from naturopathy to heavy-metal chelation and countless different medications…
I can say with conviction that Brona's methods of coaching and assisting me in tracing the root cause, addressing the underlying issues and resolving suffering were more effective than any other single therapy or medication that I've received down the years.
From first-hand experience, I can say that Brona is a genuine and effective healer.”
Jude Duffy | Ireland
“Working with Brona, I’ve re-learned that anything is possible. Anything.
I’ve found ways to heal, reconnect and to stay connected, with an amazing speed. I now know that I am carrying a tool-kit with me, that I can pick up when every I need. A tool kit that I’m constantly putting down more tools into. I keep on thinking back of the sessions when I feel that something is not really right in order to find ways to face what ever is going on now.
This coaching worked like a way of rediscovering and manifesting myself.
4 years after I met Brona the first time, I have worked through insecurities of my professions, issues of self-worth, childhood issues and an abusive relationship. And I have re-embarked on the amazing journey of my life.
Amazing. Each session just blew me away. Brona is so honest and open, personal and extremely professional.
Ida Kymmer | Sweden
“To Brona, (my Irish Brene Brown) unique in every aspect of yourself.
There is so much I could write. My life has flipped and done a complete 360.
I have transformed from a woman on a bridge of a river one night contemplating ending life to a woman who is now loving life, living freely & openly, & capturing dreams I thought were long dead.
Before I met you, my voice was non-existent & so repressed by ME. I felt I had lost my inner voice & became so lost in the chaos of life. I felt so angry at life and my anger controlled me and my life.
I felt had no prospect for my future life. I had let my dreams of the life I wanted to live, and the person I wanted to be, fade away into a crumbling mess. I thought I would never find myself again and had no way of becoming the person I wanted to be.
Throughout my life, I felt the need to be strong.
I thought strong was not showing my emotions because I was weak if i did: like I had let myself down in some way.
I buried emotions thinking they were weak & through all this I lost friendships which meant the world to me. I felt trapped inside myself holding onto secrets which consumed me. I did not feel free.
Fast forward and here I am living my life, grabbing opportunities with both hands. I have become that person I always dreamt I could be. I have learned so much in such little time through working with you.
I have self love & respect for myself: something that was lacking hugely in my life. I forgot to love myself. I gave so much of myself to others. I forgot to leave some for myself and to give myself what I needed.
Today I have regained all that and more. I have learned forgiveness and found my inner voice again.
I am now a happy woman who loves herself and her family.
I have a vision for my life and I am actively making it happen each day. I am currently completing a course in Paramedics. My future seems bright and I feel I have found myself again. I can smile from the inside out. I have become the person i always knew was inside of me. This was all impossible to me before but I am here living what i thought was once impossible: MY LIFE.
I truly believe you were meant to come into my life and my God! What an impact you have had on it. Thank you Brona for believing in me and being my light in the darkness until I was strong enough to hold my own light.
I now live a completely different life.
I feel like I stripped my soul and reinvented myself to the best I can be at this time. You will always hold a special place in my heart.
Brona I can only thank you, You and your work will always be etched in my heart throughout my life which will never be forgotten. You have taught me how to live again, how to breath again & simply how to become myself. You gave me back one thing I never thought possible MY VOICE & my forgiveness.
In our times together I lost myself, found myself, and also gained a friend - ‘ you’!
YOU have helped my in my journey to my Rising Strong, actually no.... you are part of my journey to my Rising Strong.
Susan xx
To the reader:
I met Brona by chance one evening & I remember feeling a connection as soon as I met her. She was warm, softly spoken & smiling and I remember thinking to myself : ‘WOW (the energy i felt), there is something about this woman that encaptures me.’
Little did I know that it would be the start of me changing my life.
I began working with Brona and 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.
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 recapture my voice, even in the moments when I couldn’t get the words out. She gave me tools to use in everyday life. I gained strength through each session, she was always there. Brona introduced nature into my life and it has become a freedom like I have never experienced before.
Susan Trehy | Ireland
“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 life, business and then success.”
Hannah R. | Ireland
I feel like a new person.
I feel more free than I have ever felt before.
I can’t express my gratitude for all your help, guidance, support, understanding and encouragement. Before we began our sessions, I wasn’t feeling confident in my life and career. I felt very alone with repeated patterns, feelings, emotions, reactions (well, more so non reactions. I wasn’t standing in my power or using my voice!).
I was tired and even a bit fed up. I had just moved country- new home, job, friends, team etc, and this is when doubts and old patterns, behaviors and thoughts came thick and fast.
Previously, I struggled with some close relationships, fear, lack and scarcity around money, and healthy boundaries. Instead I would “protect” myself by building walls, which in turn made me feel more alone. Lack of boundaries had me worn out and using my voice in certain situations (when I least expected it or used all my energy to build up the courage) left me feeling guilty.
I also struggled with self worth - constant doubt and fear, particularly when it came to me as a friend, a footballer and even going to do my yoga teacher training. I thought “who am I to think I can be a good yoga teacher?”
I was very good at encouraging others and letting them know all their strengths and all the good they can do, but couldn’t tell myself the positives, be as kind and/or believe them, especially when the positives came from someone else.
Now, I feel like a different person.
Since we partnered up, I have felt supported, heard and appreciated. Being held accountable, being listened to and heard without judgement was something very new for me. I trust you, Brona and appreciate and value all you do and all the advice, tips and strategies you have and use to overcome what comes up. I have been able to use them day to day, particularly since we finished. My awareness has heightened and I am a lot more kind to myself with my thoughts, words and intentions. I have also become more aware of triggers.

Brona is a powerful coach.
I’ve been coached by many, yet never have come across such an intuitive coach who helps you see things, imagine things, create things you would never have thought possible.

MASTERCLASSES & WORKSHOPS
“As someone who never really journaled there’s been lots to digest. Profound and I think the word is magical and I’d summarise where I’m trying to go as a "Path to Balance" across Spiritual, Mental, Emotional, and Physical.
Old me = avoid Spiritual , suppress or avoid Emotion, ignore Physical, over active/analytical Mental that was not anchored enough to manifest all those thoughts into action.
New me = explore and acknowledge Spiritual, face and embrace Emotion, creative, playful and active across Mental and Physical. Feeling Welcome with my own voice and worthy in all situations. Acknowledging my anxious shadow behaviours/self in the Visualisations and being compassionate with that "me" with help from the future "me".
Think that this is the tip of the iceberg but really interested in manifesting the new world.
Thanks again - I really was feeling like a stereotypical 50-something, tired out, menopausal etc and it’s like an energy shot.”
Mary Smith
“Thank you so much for creating the 21 days, it was exactly what I needed, and these tools I know I will continue using.”
Iseult Conlan
“This approach helped compound what I already know deep down and helped see things a little clearer.
I think Brona’s passion for her work is very apparent. That in itself makes the workshop work so well. This path of work, I think, is definitely the one for her.”
Jane Curtis | Waterford
“Enjoy your few days off you have earned it after today. Again you've made me feel energized focused and empowered by my own self being and I love it. Thanks again and I look forward to what's next x”
Debbie Byrne
“I really enjoyed the workshop, it was inspiring, you gave so much. It is very obvious to me you are a heart person too. that is the only way to do this work. May you go from strength to strength, the world needs you.”
Celine Slater
“The day certainly got my creative juices flowing and they have been since. I gained a certain amount of further perspective and peace on a couple of issues I have going on at present.
I really enjoyed the day. I liked the visualisations and just the general sharing with other people. Hearing other peoples stories can help with your own.
I have benefited by making time and space to reflect upon the things that matter to me. This day did that. Obviously guided and facilitated by such a professional.
I was surprised at how exhausted I was the evening we finished... I am putting this down to equating with the level of energy required to make changes within myself.
Yes I would recommend you...to anybody looking to go deeper within themselves or to explore more what they want from life.
All you ask is that they have a genuine desire for change and a willingness to help themselves. You are an open-minded, compassionate and loving person who can shed positive light on a rut of a situation that people may have with themselves.
I was really impressed with how perceptive Brona was with each individual's situation and view point and how she had lots of nuggets of information for each one of us, not necessarily needing to know us on a personal level.
Brona demonstrated great skill in helping on a personal and practical level. I'm still feeling the benefits of the day and have a new found sense of peace and happiness regarding the areas of my life that I needed more clarity with. Thank you Brona - I wish you continued success xxx”
Lynda Carroll
“The workshop was an ideal way to get into the topic of life coaching.
As was mentioned at the beginning of the workshop, sometimes people just need a wee kick up the backside to do what the know they really have to do. And for me that is exactly what it gave me. While a few other things were uncovered along the way. You were very good at presenting, reading your audience, talking though the different areas, incorporating your personal experiences and making sure everybody was getting involved at the level they wanted to be involved. You made it a very comfortable environment, which in turn made it a very easy to follow the information and gain something from the workshop.”
Joan Campbell
Initially, I was hesitant about the fact that I would be sharing my thoughts and personal stories with a group of people I did not know. However, Brona made us all very relaxed and comfortable and as the morning progressed, I began to realise how beneficial it was to share and listen to other people's stories. I realised how much we learn from each other.
Wholeheartedly, I would recommend this workshop. I have already recommended Brona to friends working in the corporate sector. She is an excellent facilitator with gorgeously, genuine and relaxed interpersonal skills. The passion she has for coaching and helping people is clear and it is also clear that she is living her passion. As I said on the day, she is a fountain of knowledge and I was very impressed how empathetic she was to everyone's needs, especially in a group setting. I think her workshops would be great for people working in Google, Facebook etc or the myriad of other creative industries. What Brona has created as ‘The 4 Body Coach Approach’ provides structure whilst allowing for self-expression and organic flow.
She is an excellent facilitator and listener with great compassion and empathy. Her approach is impassioned but realistic and she speaks with integrity, openly sharing anecdotal evidence and her own personal story.
Thank you Brona for a fantastic workshop. I got so much out of it. You have empowered and inspired me in going forward!
Ciara Mc Dermott | Monaghan, Ireland
“THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I enjoyed every minute & felt it was exactly the right mix of elements for the right amount of time.
The diverse backgrounds, interests and goals of the group provided unique perspectives on the individual outcomes both from the exercises undertaken and the focus going forward.
Above all, I'm very grateful to have gotten the opportunity to get my vision board done. A wonderful surprise as it's been on the 'todo' list for far too long.
I'd rate the workshop 10 out of 10 and feel that Bronagh did a superb job facilitating.
Going forward, I'm recommending it to my friends and colleagues as I feel this workshop will benefit to a wide variety of individuals and groups irrespective of age, background or qualifications. Looking forward to the next event. Thanks again!”
Anne Sexton | Dublin, Ireland
“Since Souldate Saturday, I have secured perm HR role in Cork. it’s impossible to say what role the workshop played, but I'm sure it was a factor somehow.
As for the workshop itself, the day flowed naturally and the exercises were focused and pointed.
I enjoyed meeting other people as I always enjoy hearing others peoples stories so to speak.
I would recommend this workshop to people who are struggling a little bit with their life and those who are looking maybe at getting an idea of what life coaching can do for them so to speak.”
Brian McNamara | Cork, Ireland
“Souldate Saturday was just what I needed.
I felt that I had 'forgotten' that it's up to me make the changes that I want to see in my life, and that I have all the power I need to do so. I've done it in the past, so the workshop reminded me of those times when I've manifested desires. You forget your own power. I feel I've been really lethargic lately, and this was the wake up call I needed.
The content was very well presented, very interesting. I loved the examples of the athletes and the amazing things that people have achieved using the mind. The handouts were really pretty; the questionnaire helped us clarify and pinpoint the exact areas that need work. The guided meditation was wonderful as always, actually I think it was a bit different from other times I did it, and I really enjoyed how it was delivered. Very relaxing! The vision board was great fun!
I would recommend this workshop to everyone who is looking for direction in their lives and everyone who wants to bring about changes and is interested in delving deeper into themselves.
Something else I would like to mention is that Brona's work is about spirit; but not in the way that many people think when spirit is mentioned. It is practical, it's accessible for all. You can take what you want/need and leave what doesn't resonate with you at the time, chances are it will later on. Brona is encouraging, inspiring, she has a really good energy and heart, and she always sees the best in people and the unlimited potential in people where most often than not, they cannot.
Brona has an energy that inspires, energises and excites. It instils in you the belief that you can do the things you want to, and you can achieve the feelings that you want to feel.”
Gayle Norman | Sligo, Ireland
“Since attending Soul Date Saturday, I am clearer about me as a person, who I am, what I am about, where I have difficulties, and what I can do about those. More importantly the best outcome was somebody actually articulating certain things.
Some of the results I have noticed are that I have been changing my activities, dialogue and my way of behaving with people. I do things that bring me joy and happiness and I don’t do things that won’t. I have found myself laughing more and louder, enjoying people more.
As a workshop, I cannot fault it. I didn’t expect to get so much from it and for it to have such an impact on me. I actually liked the personalised recommendations Brona sent on afterwords and the authors she recommended during the course. I have started reading Brene Brown and her book, 'The Gifts of Imperfection' and it is brilliant.
I actually liked attending with others because felt others bring out other things which you can recognise and maybe forgot about. It also gives you a chance to reflect on what you have said or what has been said and turn it over in your head.
Basically, I am happier, less needy, more aware of what habits I may get into and what I can do differently. More importantly, I am conscious of my actions and stopping something if it isn’t congruent with what is good for me.
I would recommend this workshop for people who are stuck or who may need direction. The impression I got from Brona is that she values hugely people coming to her workshop. She prepares a lot of work for it and seems to genuinely want people to get the most out of it. I think interest she has developed over the years in this area comes out hugely and she has a wealth of information at her fingertips. She is quite insightful and can get around blocks that people come up with to get to the real issue. It can be difficult for that person to see but she as an outsider can see more clearly. I think (Maybe this is just me now…) that people who do go will get a lot out (if they put the work in) but equally it can be difficult and involve self-questioning. Don’t go expecting a Saturday with incense sticks lots of candles and relaxation.
Again thanks so much – the price I paid was ridiculously cheap for what I got. Given of what I have paid to therapists over the years I wish I had done this years ago. It’s strange we’re taught in school, taught how to drive, taught rules of relationships, instructed how to use tvs and iphones etc but life tools and listening and being intuitive and being well, vulnerable, knowing and loving yourself is left to the sideline… I feel now I am happier with me and dare to say it but actually have a fresh curiosity and sense of anticipation of what the future will bring to me.
Anyway you opened many doors Brona and for that I thank you.”
Fiona Hewson | Dublin, Ireland
“Having a safe place to be me where I can be honest and not judged for my feelings and opinions. This was very helpful for me because, with exception to my marriage, I’ve rarely experienced that kind of environment. It gave me the courage to say, I’m a great individual and as a result, I’m more confident in my everyday living!
I believe that you gave me more than enough tools and space to dig out what I needed to dig out and discover what I needed to discover.”
Anonymous
“I really felt my heart open during all of the visualizations. They encouraged a feeling of security and allowed a deeper connection with my inner self.
You obviously speak from the heart and put a lot into the workshop. Your teachings are so personal. You helped to create and maintain a beautiful space to open up in.
The workshop exceeded all expectations. It is a beautiful experience that I believe so many will benefit from, if not everyone.”
Laura Middlemiss
“I am an over-thinker, so getting a vision in my head and heart based on a feelings-journey helped me to be truthful with myself in a new way.
I enjoyed the entire workshop. Every minute of it. If felt so good to be honest with others. I felt very safe in the space. Making the collage (something I like to do anyway) even brought out new realizations in me. I never really understood how deeply I am connected to the images to which I am drawn. It just made sense in a new way after all the other thinking.
I got my money’s worth. It was a joy. Very wonderfully eye-opening. I would do another course in a heartbeat.”
Jaclyn Jones
“The visualization meditations were really powerful, I think because we did them together I was more encouraged to let go and surrender to whatever came. I liked that you walked us through the visualization, it really felt like I took a journey and it felt very strong and real to me. I got some very meaningful connections from them.
sharing was the most helpful. Since we had to vocalize our feelings and thoughts, and it was done in such a safe and supportive group of people, it gave me a chance to really be honest and release. It was helpful to make affirmations and vocalize intentions in front of and with people. I think that gave/gives me confidence in real life too.”
Young-joo Lee
“You are an excellent listener and mirror.
Thank you Brona, so much! It was so invigorating and inspiring to meet you and I always looked forward to encountering your bright spirit and light each meeting. You are a living example of what we can be, so thank you.
You created a lovely atmosphere of safety and sacred space.”
Abneet Kaur Sandhar
GROUP PROGRAMS
“Before I signed up for this program, I felt like I was standing right in front of a threshold, both professionally and personally.
Of course they are strongly interlinked and I realized I had a choice. To “give up” and sit back or
to really go for it. I decided the latter, and knew that I needed guidance deeper than what I find elsewhere.
Since Brona knows me very well through my path, both professionally and personally what I’ve been though, I contacted her. And everything fell in place, as always with us.
When the first material was sent out I was convinced the universe has been talking to us again! Reading the first PDF made me really know that this was exactly what I was supposed to doing,
Thank you universe for always connecting the two of us at the right time!’
This program pushed me towards the transformation I needed. I identified my biggest block and am slowly learning to remove it. In doing so, I have experienced a big expansion in my life and biz. The block of my life has been an idea around un-worthiness that has manifested in destructive patterns in love and finances, that have then blocked creativity, health and abundance.
I have discovered that the key is to know how you don't want to feel and how you want to feel. Then knowing that you have a choice.
Because of this course, I feel I am on track and more aware of my desires and feelings, even when I'm totally off track and feeling very nervous and scared. I have made major changes and am facing, maybe, the biggest healing in my life. I've learnt about my true blocks, faced my dark side and realised the misbalance in my masculine and feminine. Along with this, there have been tools that I want to revisit and use to manifest.
This course has differed from other courses I have taken; it's more honest and authentic.
You are my light guidance!”
Ida Kymmer | Sweden
“Brona, you’re a star!!! You've created a high quality course that will help lots of people!!
I wanted to have a breakthrough and get my ideas and plans in o form. I wanted to work with people who are high-vibrational and also do-ers. Who are less interested in complaining and justifying and more interested in action.
I was feeling ready to commit to creating my music lifestyle business as my life's work and committed to overcoming my feelings of unworthiness and fear to follow my inner guidance and be visible in the world and to create and to give and to receive abundantly at the same time, financially and in other ways.
Brona’s passion for what she is doing is clear and so is her ability. She’s really gifted in this area and in working with people in this way. I loved this course and found many deep insights that have been very valuable for me.
I would recommend this to anyone who has an interest in deep spiritual questioning and self-exploration.
I've learned a lot of personal insights about where patterns from my past are appearing in my present day behaviour. What has stood out for me has been the depth of the insights that I get. I've also become really clear and confident in my business.
I loved the reminder of how thoughts are not set in stone and are not the truth just because I think them, so I've been feeling differently about the thoughts I think and how I choose to feel as a result of them. Also, I've been better able to let myself feel whatever it is I am feeling without judging it good or bad or evolved or not. That's been really helpful.
I feel a big shift in awareness and clarity.”
Aoife O’ Leary | Musician | www.aoifeoleary.com
“I signed up for this program because of the connection with Brona. I’d been looking for a coach but really needed somebody who is into spirituality and has a super holistic approach ( like I do with my clients;).
The course helped me find my roots- both personally and in business. It's a holistic approach to business. It takes the traditional approach to marketing that I learned in college (e.g. Kotler- know your market/customer), turns it upside down and teaches me to rely on my own resources to serve my market best. This is revolutionary in marketing;)
It's much more holistic and all-encompassing than other business courses. I'd say it also prepares entrepreneurs, teaches them how to prevent burn out, how to turn challenges into opportunities and what to really focus on. This course is NOT for hard core capitalists who have nothing but money in their mind ;)
I’ve had lots of revelations about myself, the past and how I think! Most important lesson for me is that I can really trust and use my intuition/feminine energy and that often I take action too quickly and mindlessly. Planning/structure is key for me and so far I haven't had enough of this in my life/biz. Self-care and self-love needs to be my priority to stay healthy and look after my family. I am generally more balanced and putting more time away for self-care (yoga, fitness, meditation). I’m slowly getting more focus for my business.
I really loved the connection in the group, Brona's warmth and insightful comments and the excellent reading material. The course turns the marketing mantra "Know your customer" upside down into "Know yourself" for success!
Thank you so much, Brona, it's been a great 9 weeks and I've learned a lot about myself and my business. The guided visualisations and other exercises were something I've never done in a business context and I really enjoyed them. As you always say- we have all the answers within us, all we need is the courage to get them out and use them! And that's what you're helping us with.
I LOVE your approach, Brona. You're so gentle and supportive yet honest and direct. I never felt uncomfortable or out of my depth during the sessions. ;)”
Patricia Daly | Nutritionist | www.patriciadaly.com
“I've spent years of living with big dreams but without many deeper thoughts about my future. When I started travelling at the age of 17, I finally felt like I could be free from myself as I was a born worrier.
However I had never actually properly dealt with my chains from the past and although I felt free and lived according to the wind of my path, I had a worried, anxious, fearing little girl inside me, who needed to be taken care of. The years of shuuing her away and as Brona mentioned "faking it til I made it" were bound to catch up. I had created stories to assure myself that there was nothing to fear, but I had never combatted the wheels of fear and worry and doubt which were constantly spinning.
A deeper yoga and meditation practice had helped me immensely with this. Firstly to realise that there is no hiding, I realise that the fears and anxieties I have are not my truth, but they are the truth for that little girl hiding inside of me. So, I had spent time, lots of time, looking inside, practicing yoga, writing, realising, releasing, and building foundations on all 4 levels.
I was ready to face the truth, to move forward, not with shaky doubting feet but with strong rooted feet, so that my spirit could prance.
So with all this said what inspired me to sign up?
I was facing another transitional stage (planning on leaving Korea and working out the what’s next stage...) I have been asking for guidance, for some signs, some help. And during a particular meditation, that's where your shining self came in. :)
I felt a shift within me and that I was ready to move forward with strength and belief in myself. I didn’t want to fall back into the same patterns as I have fallen into the past. I was ready to let go of distractions, and disbelief and start to put more trust in my intuition. To share my gifts in a bigger way and move forward onto my next step, committing to commitments and become more active and focused.
AFTER
I had a dream about you and was reminded of how immensely helpful you and your course are . Your words still ring clear and offer me so much peace. So much gratitude pours from my soul. Thank you, Brona, for following your heart and giving so much. You are so precious and i have no doubt in your success. I love your approach. You are honest but gentle. Also, very clear and really hit the nail on the head. Your voice is like a soothing balm for my soul.
This course differs to other courses i have taken or looked at because you feel true, heartful and present. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a change but feels scared, or who is lacking in self trust or feeling a bit lost, as well as people at the beginning of a new business.
Before the course had even finished, I felt I had already gotten what I came for. My hope was that this course would bring me courage, clarity and trust to move onto the next step of my path of my heart. Brona has equipped me with so many techniques to help overcome the blockages which hold me back. I certainly feel ready for the next step. I feel safe.
I have learned how to practice what I preach. To face what I was avoiding. To look inside and realise I already have the answers. As the weeks have gone by, I have felt a rising sense of peace surround me. Through your constant encouragement and by practicing the techniques i feel able to surrender to what is. To love and find a lesson in everything that comes onto my path. Of course i have a long way to go but i feel like this course has helped me to cut a lot of corners and rid a lot of distractions.
Her visualisations were so effective for me during the call. They really help to relax and tap into the inner self. They are very effective at setting a tone within. I also really enjoyed the shadow and boundaries.
I loved setting our intentions as I watched my intention manifest into reality. Brona has equipped me with so many techniques to help overcome the blockages which hold me back. I certainly feel ready for the next step. I feel safe.
This 9 week course has been the PERFECT tool to help me move forward during this fragile transitional phase of my life. Which usually causes so many emotions and fears. I am sure emotions and fears will still be there. But brona has shared an abundance of tools for me to let them go much quicker than before. I have gained so many tools to maintain my inner peace. To trust in my inner guide and to feel safe.
Through the emotional and physical body exercises, I realised that the fears i experience in the external world are all related to what’s going on inside. Im feeling a deeper sense of peace and am open to recieving the answers more than ever before. And I’m much more peaceful in not knowing EXACTLY. I feel a lot of pressure has been taken off and I now realise that i cannot control everything. Im willing to let go and flow.
Words to describe the course;
A sacred space to explore, grow and share. A journey beyond the noise, into the silence, where our inner creative self awaits. A safe space to explore our true potential.”
Laura Middlemiss | Yoga Teacher
“This course was very different from anything I have ever really done before and it has been one of the most beneficial.
Most other courses I have taken have been purely business related but I realise now that your life has a massive impact on your business and you must have balance between them and within them. This course really helped me take a step back and see the areas in both that I needed to work on.
I signed up for this program because Brona has always helped me see things from another perspective.
I wanted to grow my business in the right way for me , I wanted to expand and grow but was torn between a few options. I wanted to create focus on myself in my life allowing me to connect with myself on a more spiritual and emotional way and to teach myself to be more selfish with myself.
I felt ready to commit to growing my business and myself and creating focus for myself and my business.
I have recommended this to many friends and family, and those who are changing career, a little bit lost or unsettled in their lives or just need a little help in honing in on what action they really want to take next to have the life they really want.
I have learned a lot!
First of all the making time for myself, focusing on me. I really enjoy and feel the benefits of meditation and want to incorporate it into my daily toothbrush routine. I feel grounded with meditation. I feel that i have more control over my emotions which means I have a clearer view of my world and can make better decisions. Filling myself up first is a must, to be fully successful in all that I do. Setting and keeping Boundaries are essential if I want to contain myself.
I've learned how important it is to get in tune with yourself before you can really get in tune with your biz. Once you have done this getting getting in tune with your biz is much easier. I've been able to apply this to my life and biz, looking at what I can really change and what is out of my hands and being ok with what I can't control. Feeling out what I really feel inside and not going with the first thing that pops in my head.
I really enjoyed this course, the vibe was inspiring, inclusive, safe, creative, fun, the energy was very similar, high frequency, and felt you controlled the energy level very well.
I'm definitely more focused on where to grow the business and where to take it. I feel I’m focusing on success.
I feel my entire self worth has been lifted and I have an over all sense of well being. I now make decisions based on how much they serve me and am I making them from a place of fullness. I try to set daily intentions and have returned to yoga as I feel every class serves me. I have let go of lots of things that just don't serve me.
I really loved it Brona thank you so much for having me take part.”

“I want to prepare myself from the ground up for the business success I know I am meant to have. I have sabotaged before some amazing opportunities for not having the foundation energetically. This time feels different, feels guided, feels blessed, I feel a pull and I am committed to follow Divine Guidance and honour my Purpose.
It feels right and is perfect timing for where I am with all my projects.
My intention was to find what was the missing piece of the puzzle was, when I was executing my projects. I believe I found it. It was the foundation; being on a soul level. Your course was a poetic approach to my creative expression and the execution of my projects. It allowed me to embody my Truth.
I have learned so much about the energy of my future business and I am aligning myself with the future. I have been able to own more about my gifts, and feel more and more comfortable with the idea of a business that has a spiritual foundation.
There has been so many shifts, like I am handling situations like my Future business self, even though I am not there yet. I finally have learned to cook, which to some might sound silly, but to me was the greatest gift I learned for myself and my self care, Having dealt with eating disorders and deprivation from food my whole life), like I now cook and nourish my body like it is a non-negotiable!
I learned that there is so much guidance within my reach, and that the flow of inspiration keeps growing.
Words to describe the course;
Poetic, magical, journey inwards
I enjoyed the balance of this course. All others are too business/ marketing driven. Or some are just woo woo driven.”

“Any one with an idea and a thirst to meet their higher self will flourish on this course.
I have learned a lot about truly listening to myself. This has helped me to focus on what I really want in life, where my energy is and it has caused me to make mindful decisions about everyday lifestyle and my work! It has also directed me to places and paths, I had not considered and it cut out the unnecessary chaotic elements of work and play!
The emotional foundation has been a real eye opener! It really helped me go deeper! I found that from the second the first email arrived, the journey began. What heart warming material. It was a transportation through many foundations I had already explored but hadn’t really understood until now!
I’ve really learned to focus and priotise based on me and my energy needs, rather than the influences of the outside world! Making my intention really helped me to focus on what it is i wanted to create. If its not priority, it is a distraction. That has led me to the realisation that I feel obliged to attend to all the distractions, to people and plans in my life, when I don’t have to! What a relief!
I signed up because I had recently returned from NZ and have decided to take a break from nursing, the 'rat race' and all that went with it. I've had schemes, ideas and projects rattling around in my head over the last two years of travelling. It's time to give them a chance.
"Ask and you will receive" - I was researching things to do and where to start. I saw Brona’s facebook post - "the world provided".
I had so many ideas and interests but I needed more focus and direction. I know i can do great things. I just didn't know how, I couldn't work on a logical process in my head.
As a result of this program, I applied for an internship but I didn’t get it............................................. I got a full paid contract!! First week nearly done, so great to be doing something I like, I work in a creative hub, low intervention CBT training.
Brona, really big thanks for everything!”
Katie Rogers | Tipperary
“I was inspired to sign up because the teacher – Brona – I love her words and way of drawing the truth from you and helping you understand yourself better.
I think since doing the workshop in May I know the importance of knowing myself, listening to myself, doing what is and feels right, and I think any learning, education, or courses in this area can only be good and beneficial. Therefore when something comes along like this, it is a sign that this is for me.
I've gotten out of it what I didn't expect - I didn't get out of it what I thought I wanted..
The main thing is that when I started the course, I was ok with mediocrity thinking, ‘yeah I'll do a blog. And i'm happy enough, earning enough to pay the mortgage with my current job. Although, it's boring and doesn't challenge me, it's grand....Now though it's not good enough - Me, Fiona, was not born to do this; to just be and do good enough...’
You did a lot of visualisations and seeing the individual as older and male/female and feeling the energy around you etc (a myriad of them) - it showed me there is more out there around us and in us than we realise. We in a way owe it to ourselves, our 18 year old self, our essence, our soul to be the damn best we can be.
I am no longer content to just sit and work and earn enough for mortgage...Now, I want more (much more). I feel quite confident in my own abilities, strengths and skills so coming from that position makes it more of an exciting challenge.
I know I'm learning and testing myself and finding out more about me (what you said before was you may not know what you want - however knowing what you don't want is so important) - and that's key :-)
You put so much into these courses for all of us - I'm very grateful - your honesty is brilliant and inspiring.
Any kind of focused learning and self-improvement is fantastic and even though I missed 2 classes spending the 2 hours a week on that area and your very detailed feedback/emails and notes are above and beyond what anyone would expect. The resources and names and books you name drop all the time are just brilliant - I want sometimes to just tape certain bits so when i'm in the library I can get x y and z and bring them home...
I actually love listening to the women who are doing and creating and running their business and find that really inspiring - it's an opportunity I of course wouldn't have had without this course and as a result, how lucky am I?
Thanks Brona, you've changed my path since May and I'm so much the better happier and wealthier (in body and spirit)from it...Thanks for your time, work, and your course. You're a great teacher and my life is so much the better for your coaching.
2.5 years later…
Hi Brona,
It has been on my mind to write ever since you commented about me heading off for 3 months or so something similar? Well yes indeed I did finally do what I intimated maybe 4 Years ago at your session... I came to cambodja, had done a celta teaching course previously and have done some teaching here...it didnt last long cos I felt it was managed just a bit crazily but it is something I do want to pursue again.
I would however like to thank you hugely for the doors you opened for me... I don't think I had really thought about meditation before you... or spirituality or knowing your heart or your gut or any of that stuff....now I find myself looking forward to vipassana meditation . Happens from9-11 Sundays led by a wonderful American Buddhist nun called Beth who has managed a hospice here is politically socially conscious and kinda embodies the virtues which you know in your heart are true!!! She gives a Dhamma talk 11-12 and if nothing else I find that that feeds me so much I cannot explain... ! I even have my name on a waiting list for silent meditation retreat for 10 days!!! Would never have imagined such a thing 5 years ago!!
I have a deeper sense of contentment and happiness within myself and 5 years ago I came to SE Asia and was alone and lonely.... now I am still alone but never lonely!!
Am on a 3 month sabbatical from work- it is wonderful - and so damn easy.... because of you i ascribe the word joy to what I look for and need and I am finding out what is in my heart and gut and listening to it!! And when I am alone and quiet it is a good quiet, not one borne out of lonlieness but from choice and living my life how it wants to be lived.
Has taken a while I know... but I am here and happy and I hope in some small way to maybe effect change In others lives...and I realised before I came away that I did that with my friends and family and work colleagues which was gorgeous... I've become so aware of the day to day moments of happiness... sometimes I think jeez Fiona if only this happened earlier... then my friend says we are exactly where we are meant to be at this time!
Thanks again and I do hope all is well with you- am sure I said it before but you are a great teacher with a big heart…
Yours, Fiona”
Fiona Hewson | Ireland
“You've brought such fantastic insight, guidance, energy, and in-the-moment willingness to coach anyone forward. I found that your guided visualisations had the biggest gains for me... you are very gifted at this.
Right now I am on the cusp of really stepping forward. As such, your program has been such a gift for helping me use this period of time in a productive, articulate and conscious way. You have helped me process so much of what I am feeling, as well as tapping down into things that I wasn't naming or acknowledging. You helped to validate areas where I need to pay closer attention.
The vibe and energy was completely positive and supported from start to finish. The environment you created was completely safe and accepting. I learned skills that are based in science and yet their truth can only be felt, not seen or told.
This course differs from others I have taken in that the majority of the work is personal and internal and yet the result is beneficial for both business and personal life. In other words, it didn't involve anything to memorize or checklists or steps. It was about gaining deeper knowledge of who I already am, and how that works with/against my aspirations. It calls on intuition and deep knowing rather than intellect and superficial skillsets.
I would recommend this for people who are up for the challenge of going deep and who are willing to trust the process/trust you to guide them. The essense of the course lies within and is something different for each of us, so it is for people who want to have a meaningful and personal journey.
I truly appreciated your approach! I really do think you're brilliant at this, Brona. Well done!! And thank you so very much for really bringing it and showing up for us!
Brona is both teacher and guide. She teaches tangible content and guides you in your own self-discovery. Her passion and positivity for her clients, her knowledge and belief in her material, and her boundless energy and interest made this an unforgettable and life altering experience. Brona created a safe and trusting space for me to do my own best work, knowing that I had a pro by my side.
KEY WORDS
A journey of self discovery & transformation.
A safe & trusting space.”

CASE STUDIES
Naomi - Case Study
Naomi came to me because her new business NOMS was now up and running successfully 18 months. It was a huge success.
Reaching this new level meant that Naomi was facing new challenges in herself, her life and her business.
As a result, she found herself:
Struggling with her work/ life balance, which meant the relationship with her daughter affected.
Getting caught up working in her business/ stuck in the day to day.
Running around putting out fires.
Living in a constant state of guilt. Lose lose scenario.
Struggling with lack of space and time. Naomi felt she was on a constant treadmill but with lack of focus on any one thing.
Lacking time for self care.
Stuck with fear, doubt, procrastination and imposter syndrome all reared their heads.
In a business growth plateau.
Fearing a major burnout.
With a busy mind.
Having worked together before, Naomi knew that in order to grow the business, it was about growing herself.
In her words she shared: I want to be successful but not at any cost.
After 3 months, Naomi was like a new woman enjoying a guilt free life.
Using the Power in You Transformational Approach™, we:
Cleared blocks of self-sabotage and imposter syndrome.
Began healing and rewiring the core shadow feelings of guilt, inadequacy, doubt, resentment and fear.
Tapped into inner resources so that Naomi could harness her external resources in more sustainable ways. Balance = Balance of 4 bodies / masculine and feminine energy.
Up levelled and healed her relationship with time.
Cleared old unresolved unhealed issues from past/ childhood so she could be more present in her relationship with time.
Decluttered her inner and outer worlds which directly impacted her space and her time.
Released limiting beliefs around ‘needing to work hard’ or ‘business can’t be easy’, ‘have to fight for success.’
Created time and space for Naomi to connect with herself and her business on a deeper soul level/conscious level. Able to stand back and create a strong vision for next 1 - 5 years.
Cleared space and inner clutter so Naomi could access her own inner wisdom and guidance.
Got super clear on her personal and professional priorities.
Got re-inspired and enthused by connecting with her own core purpose and the mission behind NOMS. It’s more than just a shop. It’s here to educate people, helping them to live healthier in sustainable ways.
Started playing around with monthly target in her business.
Created more space for Naomi to connect with the powerful wise woman in her.
Results:
Massive internal shifts created massive life changing results.
I have gone from feeling like I was constantly caught on the back foot, with zero work/life/home balance to having more space in my own life and being more effective with my time.
I'm more confident in myself, my capabilities, my ability to move forward and in my decisions.
I've grown so much AND as a result my business has too. I have just signed a lease on my new premises.
Changes in her home life - with emotional and physical decluttering.
Relationship with her daughter is in such a better place.
Naomi is now comfortable, happy and present when spending time with her daughter.
Whilst working together, NOMS had record breaking month. Together, we created a target that Naomi felt was both impossible and unrealistic. She beat this target. No new strategy in place. No extra work. No special promotions/ offering. Just alignment. 46% growth form year previous.
In her own words:
Pretty life changing things have happened, I am welling up in tears thinking about it. Really massive shifts in me, my personal life and the business, and as a result of the business. It's been huge and not just one thing, so many things across the board.
The help Brona Malone has given me is more than I could have imagined. She definitely has a magic touch.
Both times I have worked with Brona I can say have been invaluable. Life affirming. I guess when you work with Brona, it’s not the top superficial level you work on, you go right to the core, and process the change you want to see or be, from the very depths of your soul. (I know that sounds perhaps a bit deep and scary, but it’s truly a really amazing thing)
My business is about to expand, which would not have happened had I not worked with Brona. She helped me find the confidence to move it forward, and the confidence in myself to know that I am capable.
Brona is the person to look to. I have no doubt about it in my mind, if you are open and willing, Brona’s work will help you get to the place you need to be, or want to be.’

Treasa - Case Study
Treasa is a sleep expert and Zumba instructor.
And when the pandemic hit, Treasa was hit too.
Treasa came to me because, similar to many others, 2020 brought about unexpected change and confusion. This directly impacted:
The energy she had for herself and her business.
Her enthusiasm. She was dreading any and all work tasks.
Her focus and discipline. She was finding herself easily distracted. Her thinking was muddled.
How she was showing up in her life and business. She found herself wanting to avoid creating things that involved putting herself out there.
Fear, doubt, procrastination and imposter syndrome all reared their heads.
She felt disconnected from her purpose, path, business and audience.
Treasa felt the breaking down of the old, but the new was not yet visible.
In her own words:
I’m looking for clarity and to feel a definite pull in the direction I should go in. > Like I’m standing strong in the direction that I’m supposed to go in. Feeling certain that I’m doing what I’m here to do and to serve who I’m here to serve. Un-phased by what’s going on externally.
After 3 months, Treasa was a completely new woman.
Using the Power in You Transformational Approach™:
Treasa was able to create a fresh new vision for herself and her business.
Treasa cleared blocks of self-sabotage, imposter syndrome and visibility.
We plugged personal energy leaks so that Treasa is using her time, energy and resources more effectively for a greater impact and higher profit in her business. So more guilt free time for herself and her daughters.
Cleared procrastination and old unresolved unhealed issues/identities/obligations causing resistance and holding Treasa back from taking action and having the necessary boundaries in place to support her.
Transformed any and all obstacles into opportunities for herself and her business.
Completely up levelled herself, her 4 bodies and her business.
Results:
Treasa is now confident, rejuvenated and inspired moving forward because she now has clarity around the bigger picture in her business.
She has a clear strategy for moving her business forward.As a direct result of up levelling, decluttering and shifting herself and her inner world launched a brand new offering that is pandemic proof welcoming 30 new clients into her new program.
Tripled her monthly revenue.
In Treasa's own words:
I now have a clear understanding of what actually holds us back. It’s not lack of discipline or action. It’s lack of belief and resistance.
