“Before I began coaching with Sanya, I felt unfocused and lacked a sense of purpose and direction. My mind felt scattered and I would get easily distracted. I also wasn't feeling good enough regardless of what I had achieved In my life. Although this is still a work in progress, after working with Sanya I feel like I have gained more clarity in my life and I am more accepting of myself. I have also learnt the ability to embrace uncertainty. Sanya and I began coaching on fortnightly basis and after our very first session I noticed that I was less hard on myself. I started to accept every situation I was faced with. If for example I was not able to be productive due to being ill, after our sessions, I was able to notice my patterns, be more accepting of myself and notice the expectations I had of myself. This had a significant impact on my life and stopped the pattern of negative thinking. Another major benefit of working with Sanya was the way it changed my relationship with my family. I was able to identify and differentiate my personal responsibilities from my family’s and change my perspective on the obligations I felt towards them. This in turn has strengthened my relationship with them. Through our coaching sessions, I was able to identify the conditioning that has impacted my life today and been ingrained into my subconscious. Becoming more aware and conscious of this, I was able to understand why I feel certain emotions and act in certain ways.

As a result of working with Sanya, I am less hard on myself, I am able to have more fun, and I’m able to view my relationship with my mother through a new lens. This has put less strain on our relationship. Sanya created such a safe and welcoming space. I was surprised at how vulnerable and transparent I could be with Sanya. The best quality about Sanya is that she is a great listener. She has never been judgmental and has made me feel so safe in our sessions. This has allowed me to feel like I could open up 100%, be vulnerable and that whatever I had to say was warranted no matter how trivial it could be. Knowing I could count on her has been a big relief”.
