IMPACT

Working with Sandy is like being guided by an ideal friend and ideal expert. She nurtures and challenges. She empathises and laughs. She explores ideas and listens to yours. Every session feels personal, absolutely tailored to your needs and yet open and free and adaptable. I cannot recommend working with Sandy more highly. Do it. It’s amazing. She’s amazing.

Imogen Brodie, Head of Creative Development - Sonia Friedman Productions Limited

I came to Sandy at a crossroads in my life, feeling really unsure about what path to take and feeling fearful of change. From the first session I felt calmer and more optimistic. I felt like Sandy was holding my hand. The process has totally surpassed my expectations. I have learnt so much about how to honour my creativity, my desires, how to be more aware of my negative habits and not compare myself to others. I never imagined that this would make me more productive, but it has. I’ve already implemented so many life changing moves and can see my attitudes changing for the better. I’m now feeling full of positivity for the future and looking forward to my sessions with Sandy going forward.

Sandy provides the kind of coaching we all need - kind, insightful, challenging, grounded and yet playful. It’s always good to be reminded we have agency and choice - even in deciding to keep things as they are. I would highly recommend working with Sandy - even if there is nothing in particular you’d pinpoint you want to work on! It can be a feeling of shift, a confused sense of purpose, an understanding of questions. Sandy will expertly, dynamically and caringly support you to unpick and accept.

Rebecca Dawson, Arts/Culture Professional

Sandy brings a rare alchemy, and like any magic it’s hard to explain exactly what she does, but easy to articulate the impact and wonderment our work together has had on me - as an artist, people manager and person. She’s a champion of change, personal accountability, kindness, fun, values honouring, honesty and deeper inquiry. I now have an acute awareness, notice cognitive patterns of behaviour and creatively nurture my curiosity. She has set me on a path of continuing personal growth. I often recommend Sandy and have gifted sessions with her twice. I know the massive value and potential for change that Sandy offers and am eager to share that again and again.

Conor Doyle, Artistic Director - One Hundred

My experience has been a journey. From a space where being comfortable in my discomfort was my norm. The space I was in back them compared to now is completely different! I had no idea I could come out of that space, but Sandy’s coaching allowed me to be myself and discover values that will see me through the next chapter of my growth.  I no longer place myself in spaces that do not serve me. And I am very grateful for that.

Lydia Mbala, Creative Shoot Producer

Coaching with Sandy is comfortably uncomfortable. I started the process feeling overstretched and wrung out and I am now full of creative energy and better able to create space in my life. It’s difficult, exciting, interesting and extraordinary. I’ve uncovered jewels I didn’t know were there. She gets you to stretch your wings without noticing you’ve left the nest. And the most surprising thing is how much fun it can be! I have loved it and it has been the most fantastic investment in myself!

Amelia, Doctor, Mindfulness Teacher, Poet

Working with Sandy was incredibly empowering. She dug within me and released a potential I had put down to sleep. With her guidance I rediscovered my unique tools and by working closely with me, she helped me put them into practice by taking every day action towards my dreams. Through her guidance I was able to recognise the self I am today and what I value today. This has given me great confidence - and by being more informed and aligned with my present it has been easier to make all kinds of life decisions

Maria Ines Olmedo, Creative & Executive Producer

Sandy has been the perfect coach for me. She has helped me navigate trying times and I know I can always count on her to help me find my way. I’m so grateful to her for our coaching time and the great tools she has given me in moving forward.

Corey, Dancer & Pilates Teacher

Through patience, curiosity and tuning into my thoughts and concerns, I was able to see where my strengths lie, and how to use them. Sandy enabled me to see how there were ways in which I had limiting beliefs, and allowed me to see them for what they were, through expert guidance. For anyone who wants to understand themselves better, and figure out how to move forward with their lives, I cannot recommend Sandy enough. She is kind, sensitive, open and brilliant to work with.

Rachel, Theatre Director and Visual Artist

I lost my job of 13 years due to COVID-19 downsizing and had only 3 more years until retirement. I was highly recommended to Sandy by a friend and without hesitation, I reached out to her. I was terribly lost and wanted to get back to my heart, my joy, my home, my being, so I could get grounded and get back out in the world. My compass was broken and Sandy helped to reveal the secret way back down the right path. I am eternally grateful to her artful and colourful way of guiding me back home and ready to live my life to its fullest potential every single day now. There’s no place like home and there’s no better coach than Sandy.

Carmen Smeester, Healthcare Consulting and Ventures

Being coached by Sandy has given me a new level of confidence in my own abilities and unique superpowers. She has been supportive and creative in her approach to ensuring that I get the most out of every session. I’ve laughed, cried and been challenged to push myself many times and always feel better at the end of each session. I will always highly recommend coaching with Sandy.

Kadisha, Project Manager - Theatre

Coaching with Sandy is nothing like I expected - but it’s magical! I have enjoyed my life considerably more since starting coaching and have found much more gratitude and appreciation for myself in identifying my core values and beliefs. Before I started coaching I felt stuck – now I feel much more capable of moving forward intentionally and with purpose. This is my first coaching experience and it has been excellent!

Naomi, Consultant - Arts & Heritage

I just wanted to say how much these sessions have meant to me. They have been so empowering and you’ve really inspired me to look inside and outside of myself. You have helped me stretch my wings and have brought so much wisdom to our conversations.
