1:1 COACHING: THE THRIVE GUIDE
You’ve built the life. And somehow
it still isn’t enough
The Thrive Guide is a 6-month 1:1 coaching programme for people who are done working themselves into the ground and still not getting the life they want.
Done managing.
Done just getting through.
Ready — finally — to love it.
Life looks good from the outside. There’s a career or business you’ve worked hard for, people who rely on you, a full calendar, and things to be grateful for. You know that.
And yet, there’s a version of you that wakes up already feeling behind. That goes to bed still thinking about everything that didn’t get done. That gives everything to everyone else and wonders when it’s their turn. That’s running on coffee, adrenaline, and the quiet hope that at some point, things will feel easier.
The exhaustion isn’t just physical. It’s the kind that goes bone-deep — like your soul is tired. The kind that comes from always being on, always pushing, always going the extra mile — and still feeling like it’s never quite enough.
You’re not burning out over and over again because you’re doing it wrong. You’re burning out because no one taught you a smarter way. A way that lets you harness stress, protect your energy, and genuinely thrive — even under pressure.
That’s what we’re here to change.
The Thrive Guide
A 6-month, 1:1 coaching programme designed to take you from surviving on fumes and willpower to building a life that works for your ambitions, your relationships, your energy, and, most of all, you.
This isn’t therapy, and it isn’t handholding. It’s deep, practical, results-focused work that helps you understand why you operate the way you do and gives you the real tools to change it. For good.
Most people arrive knowing something needs to shift — but not quite knowing what. And that’s okay. That’s exactly where we start. By the end, you have clarity, concrete strategies, and a way of living and thriving that no longer comes at the cost of yourself.

My signature Thrive methodology
Step 1
Take stock
Get honest about what’s working and what isn’t. We look at your stress habits, your biology, and your baseline — because real change starts with clarity and an honest assessment, not willpower.
Step 2
Declutter
Understand the patterns, beliefs, and behaviours that have been running the show — o en without your knowledge. The people-pleasing, the perfectionism, the overextending. This is where you get your time, energy, and headspace back.
Step 3
Joy yourself
Build the practical skills and the being-set to use your newfound space for what matters to you. This is where things start to feel exciting again — and the results you’ve been chasing start arriving with far less effort.
Step 4
Set up for success
Create your personal Thrive Blueprint and put the right structures in place for long term success — so this isn’t a temporary high, it’s a permanent shift in how you live and lead.
This programme is for you if:
01
Life feels full but somehow unfulfilling and you can’t quite put your finger on why.
02
The stress has become so normal you’ve stopped noticing it… until your body crashes or relationships fall apart.
03
There’s a gap between who you are at work and who you want to be at home… and it’s widening.
04
You keep waiting for things to slow down before you start looking after yourself. But slow just never comes.
05
You want more! More presence, more joy, more ease, but without sacrificing everything you’ve already built.
06
You’ve tried the self-help books, the podcasts, the therapy. And somehow it hasn’t quite hit the spot. You’re ready for real, personalised work that sticks.
Are you ready
to harness the stress, protect your energy and learn how to thrive no matter what life throws at you?
1:1 COACHING: THE ACCELERATOR
For people who’ve done the work and know that keeping the momentum requires dedication to self.
Things are better than they were. You’ve made real progress because you can see it, feel it, and so can the people around you. But old patterns still surface in quieter moments. The people-pleasing that shows up in subtle ways. The guilt when you slow down. The nagging feeling that if you aren’t careful things will go backwards.
You’re not in crisis. But you’re not done either. The proactive person who keeps doing the deeper work is the one who doesn’t just sustain the results but exceeds them – long term. That’s what the Accelerator is for.
This is a monthly 1:1 space to go deeper — into your relationships, your boundaries, your confidence, and the habits that will carry you into the next level of your life and business. A place where your wins are celebrated, your roadblocks are worked through, and your growth never gets left to chance.
A safe, flexible space that grows with you — because life doesn’t stop evolving, and neither do you.
•One 60-minute 1:1 session per month
•Ongoing resources — worksheets, videos, and tools tailored to what’s arising for you
•Private coaching chat access between sessions
The natural next step after the Thrive Guide — and the perfect fit for those already on their development journey who want a trusted space for accountability, challenge, and growth.

About the programme
What is the Thrive Guide and how does it work?
The Thrive Guide is a 6-month, 1:1 coaching programme for professionals and business owners who want to stop surviving on stress and willpower, and start building a life that works. We meet fortnightly for 12 coaching sessions, you work through 12 self-paced modules with 40+ educational videos and workbooks, and you have direct chat access to me between sessions. The programme follows a four-step methodology: Take Stock, Declutter, Joy Yourself, and Set Up for Success.
How is this different from therapy or counselling?
Coaching and therapy serve different purposes. Therapy typically focuses on healing and processing the past, often with a clinical framework. Coaching is present and forward-focused — we look at where you are now, where you want to be, and what’s getting in the way. That said, The Thrive Guide is not a surface-level “set your goals” programme. We do go deep — into patterns, beliefs, behaviours, and the nervous system science behind why you operate the way you do. It’s practical, personalised, and grounded in real tools you can use immediately.
What’s the difference between the Thrive Guide and the Thrive Accelerator?
The Thrive Guide is the full 6-month programme — it’s where the foundational work happens. The Thrive Accelerator is a monthly 1:1 coaching space for people who have already done significant personal development work and want ongoing support to sustain their momentum, go deeper, and keep growing. Many Accelerator clients are Thrive Guide graduates. Some come having done other development work elsewhere. The key difference is depth of entry point — the Thrive Guide builds the foundation; the Accelerator builds on it.
How much time do I need to commit each week?
The fortnightly sessions are 60 minutes each. The self-paced modules are designed to fit around a busy life — most people find 60 minutes per week is enough to work through the content meaningfully. The private coaching chat is there when you need it, not as an additional obligation. What you put in is what you get out.
What if I already feel stretched?
Good — that means you’re exactly the right person for this programme. The Thrive Guide is built for people who are already running at capacity. The content is designed to be genuinely doable, not another thing to feel behind on. And one of the first things we work on together is creating the space in your life to do this work — so the programme itself becomes part of the solution, not an addition to the problem.
How many spaces are available?
The Thrive Guide runs with 10 spaces at any one time. This is intentional — 1:1 coaching at this level requires real availability and attention, and I’m not interested in compromising that. If you’re considering it, it’s worth booking a clarity call sooner rather than later. Because when the spaces are gone it an be up to 6 months until the next space opens. A spot on my waiting list is available in those cases.
Is it right for me?
Is this programme for men or women?
Both. The Thrive Guide works with high-achieving professionals, business owners, leaders and their teams regardless of gender. The common thread isn’t demographic — it’s the experience of running at capacity, wanting more from life and work, and being ready to do something about it.
I’ve tried coaching before and it didn’t work. Why would this be different?
That’s a fair question and worth taking seriously. Every coach is different and so is the depth of their practice. Unfortunately, some coaching stays at the surface — goal setting, accountability, mindset mantras. The Thrive Guide goes deeper. We work with the nervous system, human biology and the core of human behaviour to uncover what is behind your patterns to get to the root cause of what makes you behave and show up the way you do in everyday life. It’s also highly personalised — this isn’t another group programme or a generic framework. Everything is tailored to you, your life, and what’s getting in the way.
I’m not in crisis — I just want to level up. Is this still for me?
Absolutely — and honestly, this is where coaching delivers its best results. The proactive client who invests before hitting a wall consistently gets further, faster. If life is going well but something still feels off underneath — the low-level anxiety, the patterns that keep showing up, the sense that there’s a next level you haven’t quite cracked, a ceiling that you are hitting repeatedly — this programme was built for exactly that.
What if I’m going through something difficult right now?
It depends on what’s happening. The Thrive Guide is well-suited to people navigating significant life stress, burnout, major transitions, or that painful in-between place of knowing something needs to change but not knowing what. If you’re experiencing acute mental health challenges that require clinical support, I’ll always be honest with you about whether coaching is the right fit — and I’ll point you toward the right resources. The clarity call is the best place to have that conversation.
Do I need to have done personal development work before?
No. Some clients come to the Thrive Guide as their first serious investment in themselves. Others have read every book and done various other programmes. The starting point doesn’t matter — what matters is that you’re ready to do the work. The programme meets you where you are.
Practical Questions
Where do the sessions take place?
Sessions are held online via video call, so you can work with me from anywhere. If you’re based in Auckland, in-person sessions may be available — ask me about this on your clarity call.
What does it cost?
Pricing is shared on your clarity call, where we can discuss which programme is the right fit for you. The Thrive Guide is a premium, high-touch programme — it’s an investment, and it’s priced accordingly. What I can tell you is that the clients who get the most out of it are the ones who treat it as an investment in themselves, not an expense to justify.
What happens on the clarity call?
It’s a real conversation — not a sales pitch. We talk about where you are, what you’re looking for, and whether the Thrive Guide is the right fit for you right now. If it is, we’ll talk through the next steps. If it isn’t, I’ll tell you honestly and point you in a better direction. It’s 30 minutes and completely free.
Can my employer pay for this?
Yes — and more employers are covering personal coaching as part of professional development or wellbeing benefits than you might think. It’s worth asking. If you’d like support making the case to your employer, get in touch and I can help.
