Kind Words

i felt nervous and anxious about returning to my job [after maternity leave], worrying i wouldn’t be able to keep up after so long out. i was also worried about how to manage the part time element, and how to put in place and stick to firm boundaries around my time and energy in and out of work. i felt that rose asked insightful and challenging questions that got me to come to my own solutions, rather than being told what i should do. this is much more powerful and the solutions more likely to stick because they had come from myself. i came away with a list of 5 actions to do/think about before i returned to work, and they made the transition on the big day so much easier! returning to work is incredibly complicated and emotive and there’s all sorts of things at play, so just to have an hour to think about you and only you is very powerful, and very needed! rose is a fabulous coach, she asks great questions and balances empathy and challenge very well. thank you for the session rose, it’s been invaluable.​

before talking to rose i was struggling with the general juggle of being a working mother, specifically accepting that my priorities have changed and the impact that was having on the expectations i had for myself at work and at home. i was also struggling with my perception of what i can realistically achieve in a day, as well as the impact of how far down the priority list my own needs had fallen. rose gave me an instant safe space to express my feelings, worries and thoughts about myself, and gave me the gentle guidance i needed to address my mindset about my life. the power hour was an invaluable session that allowed me to explore some of the reasons behind my feelings but to also set out some practical first steps to making the changes i knew i wanted to make. rose’s approach was kind and warm as well as being incredibly helpful. she asked perfectly placed questions to guide me to realisations and solutions that felt right for me. never telling me what to do, rose still ensured i finished the hour feeling empowered and confident that i was able to achieve what i wanted going forward. i’d recommend a power hour with rose to any mum, stay at home or working, i think the session and space rose offers can be of such value to any woman who feels overwhelmed, confused, frustrated, or just a bit lost at times. rose’s power hour will give you the time, space and guidance to take the next steps to feeling a happier and more content version of you again.

Rose has been coaching me for a few months now and it has truly shifted my mindset and outlook. in the midst of having my second child and living through lockdown, these sessions were an opportunity to take some much needed time and space to really think through how i was feeling and what i would like for the future. rose provides a safe, non-judgemental space to work through your thoughts and feelings, as well as challenging you, so that you can take positive steps. every time i have a session with rose i feel more determined and excited about the future. they have enabled me to be more comfortable in myself, what i want most out of life and to focus on what really makes me happy. i initially started the sessions feeling quite unsure about my future career and family life. while rose was coaching me i had a number of light bulb moments where i realised why i was behaving or feeling a certain way, and how that was holding me back. this has enabled me to process some of those emotions so that i can have a more focused, positive outlook.

Rose has the innate ability to make you feel safe, listened to and understood since the very first minute. She doesn’t judge you; she doesn’t give you any unsolicited advice. She was exactly what I needed while trying to figure out who I am as a professional, woman, and new mum. During each session, I experienced a rollercoaster of emotions. Rose gently yet firmly guided me through my doubts, fears, and negative self-talk, helping me find the real reasons behind my “shoulds” and embracing a different approach to making decisions. I learnt a lot about myself, and I am grateful to have met Rose in such a delicate time of my life.

i really enjoy my coaching sessions with rose. she has a direct yet gentle coaching approach that helps me to feel comfortable and relaxed. her support throughout our sessions makes it easy for me to be vulnerable without the fear of being judged i have experienced many breakthrough moments which have truly transform my perspective and for that i am incredibly grateful!

i was delighted with the coaching sessions provided to me. i had so much self doubt in my ability and rose helped me to realise for myself that this was most certainly not the case. during our sessions, i grew in self confidence and also in my belief to be able to set my sights higher with my job searches. i am happy to say that it did not take me long to secure a position and i now do not look back, knowing that i am much more capable that i had ever believed. thank you rose, so very much.
