What the incredible women have to say about their journeys with me…
“Milly and I connected during a time of intense changes for me. At this time I was seeking to hold space for myself with the support of a strong, supportive, vibrant and wise wāhine (female). Meeting Milly instantly triggered my inner light bulb "ding" and things just felt right.
Throughout our 12 weeks of 1-1 sessions we treated gently inward, into many "nooks & crannies" in my manawa (heart), (hinengaro) mind and wairua (spirit). As things unfolded my feelings of discomfort were greeted with sincere support, and each challenging moment was enveloped in love with complete understanding, empathy and acknowledgment of me, my feelings, my experience and my power.
Tears were shed, layers were peeled back, and vulnerability became comforable. Guided by Milly parts of me recieved love for the first time instead of life-long shame and oppression. And, my understanding and practices of self-love evolved into intimate, deep, simple pockets of love and nourishment of me (breath work, meditation, ritual, reflection, journaling). Grateful.
I walked away with a couple of key thoughts which are:
1. This investment was definitely worth it.
2. I’m going to miss Milly a lot!
3. When am I going back!
4. Wow - I have covered so much "inner-work" ground in such a short amount of time and I feel so much lighter.
5. Look inward to make sense of the world around you. Love and embrace every inch of you and give from the front of your heart and receive through the back of your heart.
Thanks a mill Milly Big hugs & loves hugs 🫂”

“Milly's coaching is one of my favourite times, and without her encouragement & guidance I wouldn't be able to do what I do. She knows how to hold space in a way that has enabled personal reflection and deep learning for me. It's like having someone completely in my corner to encourage, strengthen and gently guide more self awareness and growth. I have deep respect for the way she personally leads by example and openly shares her journey along the way too.”

“Milly, I'm so glad I went on this journey with you. You have a way of making me feel so at ease with all that I am. You hold such a safe space for me to be vulnerable and never feel judged. You’re always happy to ask if you understand things correctly and have this magic way of flipping situations to a different perspective. I am much more aware of what's happening around me, both intentionally and unintentionally. I have a clearer understanding of why I feel certain ways, what my responsibilities are in various situations, and I can now lead with intention from a place that holds deeper meaning for me. I am more aware of my personal strengths and what's really important to me, and am understanding how to bring them into my everyday life, making me feel more fulfilled and purposeful.
Now, in any moments of doubt and tough situations, it's easier for me to pull from our talks and step back to look at the bigger picture and how I choose to address things. My day-to-day life is now more balanced between corporate, creative, and family, which I love! This balance is a result of my new understanding of what it means to be me, the value I bring to those around me, and what truly fills my cup, not just from what I'm doing, but how I'm doing it.
You're genuinely the biggest advocate for success and happiness in others. It's an ongoing journey, and this foundation has set me up to keep flourishing. I'm looking forward to the next chapter in growth with you as I just signed up for another 12 weeks! I'm looking forward to focusing more on career blocks, goals, and how to get there!
Thank you, Milly. Xx”

“Milly completely changed the trajectory of my 2024.
Coming into January, I was damn near ready to drop a bomb on my entire life. No part of my days were looking after me, and I was clinging onto discipline, gratitude, choosing to be happy and finding joy in the little moments. Those things matter, it got me as far as it did. But there was so much detail that was not sustainable for the remainder of my existence.
I’ve always joked “change your hair, not your husband” because I believe the only constant is change, but we can choose which things we keep F-R-E-S-H.
My new motto is, you don't need to bomb up your life, you just need a coach.
I wandered into my first session with Milly, no fucking clue what magic she was capable of, balled my eyes out and let it all out thinking this was some kind of therapy.
Milly took the word vomit without judgement and with the most powerful reframes helped me understand myself, heal, and create an actual light at the end of the tunnel.
Thank you, Milly.
I needed you and you were there. There’s so many more nice and beautiful words to describe you, but I can’t thank you enough for completely redirecting me.”

“I had the privilege of working with Milly and it has been such a positive experience for me. She helped particularly with increasing my self worth and setting clear boundaries for myself.
Milly made me feel comfortable and at ease in every session. She listened carefully, in a non judgemental way and has the knack of drawing out and reframing the essence of a problem. Milly would check in with me between our sessions so I felt like I had a cheerleader, accountability coach and close friend with me at all times! It was exactly what I needed. What truly sets Milly apart is her trustworthiness and confidentiality. I felt completely safe sharing my deepest concerns and fears with her, knowing that she would hold space for me without judgment. Working with Milly has had a profound impact on my life. I've gained a deeper understanding of myself and my worth, and I've learned to prioritise my own needs and boundaries. I'm grateful for her guidance, support, and unwavering commitment to helping me achieve my goals.
Milly is the master of self care. Everything she teaches she has learnt through experience and intensive study. I have gained more from working with Milly over 12 weeks than I did in years of counselling. If you're considering working with a coach, I wholeheartedly recommend Milly. She's an exceptional professional with a gift for helping people unlock their full potential.”

“Milly has been an absolute life saver for me. I started working with her at the exact right time and it has been the most amazing experience. Milly has such a beautiful way of guiding, encouraging and reflecting on things that once seemed really hard for me to do. I have learnt so much about myself with her guidance and created some really beautiful rituals. My way of thinking has really changed and my perspective on how I look at life has too and I will forever be thankful for this. Milly is there through the tough moments with her guidance but also celebrates you on your achievements and it’s so so rewarding! I love the path I am on and I’m so excited to keep working with you Milly! I’m not ready for my 3 months to be over!!!”

“Milly’s zest for life is absolutely contagious, and her boundless energy is truly inspiring. Through her 12-week program, she guided me on a transformative journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Milly helped me uncover what was holding me back and gave me the tools and strategies to reconnect with my most authentic self.
Her warmth, encouragement, and accountability made the process not just effective but also deeply enriching. I now feel more aligned, purposeful, and joyful in how I show up in the world. If you're ready to take your life to the next level, Milly is the coach to help you get there!”
