Client Stories About the Impact of Transformative Life Coaching Sessions

Life Coaching Sessions | Small Tree Sprout

Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colours. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.

Terry Pratchett, A Hat Full of Sky

What You Can Expect from Your Life Coaching Sessions

Wondering what’s possible? These stories are from professionals, creatives, and leaders who were once standing right where you are now. 

Through our life coaching sessions, they found clarity, direction, and a renewed sense of self. You’ll see examples of coaching to set boundaries, finding life purpose, and dealing with a negative mindset. 

Their words are the best way to show you what’s achievable.

Coaching on Finding Purpose & Clarity

Coaching on Finding Purpose & Clarity Testimonial 1 | Close up of green leaf

Working with Jacomien has been delightful. I came to her because I struggled to balance my work, study, and personal life. I also battled with feelings of anxiety and personal inadequacy. This overwhelmed me and made my zest for life virtually disappear. 

From my first session with her, I knew she was the coach for me. Our sessions are always professional and personal at the same time. She is smart, tenacious, and empathetic. She takes the time to understand my issues fully and always manages to show me a different perspective while equally being committed to helping me heal.

I am on the journey to finding my true life’s purpose through her coaching, and my love for life has started to return. I highly recommend her training!

When I started Coaching with Jacomien, I was unsure what it would entail. But I knew that change was needed.

The coaching taught me how to improve. Same as any sport, a coach is paramount to success, and a life coach has now helped me succeed in my personal life. No one can teach us how to live our lives, but a life coach will guide you on your journey and give you tools to use that most adults are still trying to figure out.

Jacomien was that to me, and the 9 months we spent added value in an unquantifiable way.

Coaching on Setting Boundaries & Shifting Mindsets

Coaching on Setting Boundaries & Shifting Mindsets Testimonial | Bamboo Close Up

Miss Min is an amazingly helpful soul. She has helped me come to understand myself on a whole new level. I had trapped myself in a poisonous mind frame, and with Miss Min’s guidance, I was able to break free.

I have established my own boundaries. I am able to communicate not only with other people but, most importantly, I am able to communicate with myself and care for myself.

Miss Min truly cared for me and supported me in my battle against myself. The exercises she provided me, such as the Tapping, are extremely valuable, and I will continue using them.

Thank you for all your support and effort you put into helping me find peace with myself.

Coaching on Self-Awareness & Professional Growth

Jacomien creates a caring space for our coaching conversations. She is a skilful listener with the ability to condense my verbiage to the essential part of what I am struggling to say. She is also perceptive in picking up on other verbal and non-verbal cues to deepen our conversations. 

I experience unconditional respect and true concern for myself in all my engagements with Jacomien. As a result of my coaching journey with her, I am more self-aware and can adapt my behaviour more meaningfully in situations where I want to change how I am showing up.

I never really knew what life coaching was until my second session with Jacomien.

I learned how to plan my day, from work to personal and social life. To always think of alternative ways to achieve my long- and short-term goals.

Her coaching method has helped me prepare and plan every week with one goal in mind to commit to and plan how to tackle it.

A Genuinely Supportive Process

Jacomien is genuine, caring, deeply insightful and knowledgeable. I truly believe that Jacomien’s authentic care for her clients and her desire for them to receive the most benefit from her service set her apart.

I’ve walked away from each session with Jacomien better prepared to not only navigate my future but also to deal head-on with things from my past. The experience is a beautiful blend of analysing facts while creatively finding healthy solutions. 

I completely recommend her to anyone interested.

Quick Life Coaching Questions

Your journey is unique to you, so your results will be too. These stories show what’s possible. Our work together is 100% focused on your personal growth and your definition of success.

It varies for everyone. Some people feel a shift after the first session; for others, it’s a gradual process. Life coaching is about progress, not perfection.

Absolutely. Everything we discuss in our life coaching sessions is 100% confidential. This is a safe space for you to be open and honest.

There’s no problem too big or too small for coaching. If it’s on your mind, it’s valid. The process is tailored to you and what you need right now. 
It’s important to clarify that coaching isn’t therapy, so I don’t provide mental health diagnoses. Your total well-being is the priority. If during our work I suspect a deeper issue like depression or PTSD is present, I can refer you to a qualified and experienced psychologist or psychiatrist if needed.

Therapy, conducted by a psychologist or psychiatrist, is a healthcare service focused on healing. It delves into your past to understand how it shapes your present and is the correct path for treating mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, or trauma.
Coaching, on the other hand, is a process focused on personal and professional growth. It’s present and future-focused. We acknowledge your past but don’t analyse it deeply. Instead, we work together to set goals, create action plans, and build momentum to get you where you want to go.
Therapy and coaching can work together beautifully. Many people find that having both a therapist for healing and a coach for accountability and forward-moving action creates a powerful support system for comprehensive personal growth.

If you’re reading these stories and feeling a sense of curiosity or hope, you’re ready enough. 
The free introductory call is the perfect, no-pressure way to find out for sure. It’s a chance for us to talk, for you to ask questions, and for us to see if we’re a good fit. It’s a conversation, not a commitment.
