Life coaching is a thought-provoking, creative, and soulful endeavour, focused on enabling you to live a more empowered life.
As your coach, I'm here to provide you with the knowledge and tools you need to know yourself fully, and unlock previously untapped potentials.
Please read my life coaching philosophy below, or scroll to the bottom of the page for Frequently Asked Questions.
"[Coaching with Liz has ] been useful on every level – not only on how I feel, but on how productive I am and how happy the rest of my family is. My communication has improved, both at work and with my husband, and the dynamics in our house are way better because I’m no longer stressing out as a Mum. We have simplified our lives so much this year, and our house is so much calmer."
- Kim, Break Through Programme
I've been working as a life coach in Auckland since 2014. Transforming lives by making space for the deeper truths, hidden passions, and wholeness of the people who come to me for guidance.
My coaching philosophy is focused on two core outcomes: alignment and aliveness ...
i.e. be all of who you are
As humans we are made up of many different parts, each of which has it's own thoughts, emotions, and agendas.
For example, there might be a part of you that wants to win at life by owning your own business, but another part which is terrified of leaving the security of your current job. Or a part of you that is dedicated to remaining calm and loving in your relationships, but another part that gets so angry and frustrated that you end up freaking out instead!
When some of our parts are ignored or in conflict, we get stuck in cycles of struggle – making progress some days (or months, or years), only to revert back to old patterns during times of stress.
The way to bust out of these cycles of stuckness is not by pushing harder, but by fundamentally changing how we relate to ourselves and to the world.
As your coach I will help you bring your inner world into deeper connection and alignment, so that you can move forward in life with a sense of wholeness, fulfilment, and ease.
i.e. Have some damn FUN
Access to more energy, passion, happiness, and confidence each day comes from flexing the right internal 'muscles.' By creating the right balance within, we can allow our lives to FLOW – we start to feel more alive.
When working alone, it's easy to fall into the trap of unconsciously flexing certain 'muscles' and not others, creating an imbalanced and disconnected experience of life.
We start to go in circles. We're blocked. Life feels dull and boring ... but also frustrating and stressful! Now how did we manage that!?
As a life coach, I'm trained to notice the ways you are subconsciously creating imbalances in your life that sap your energy and keep you stuck.
I'll help you actively cultivate the threads of energy and passion within you, so that you can build up a sense of aliveness, excitement, and joy as you go about each day.
"Liz has honestly brought me back to life. As a result of our coaching, I’ve gone from feeling lost and off balance in life, to feeling more in control, more free, and above all else, more loved."
- Caitlin, Breakthrough Programme
My role as life coach is to be 100% in your corner, working creatively to facilitate your happiness and success.
We will meet weekly or fortnightly in person (if you live in Auckland) or over the phone/online.
The partnership we will form as coach and client is different from most other relationships you'll form in life, in that it is fully accepting and non-judgmental.
My job is not to advise you, but to guide you into a deeper connection with your own power, purpose, and truth. We will shine a light on patterns that are keeping you stuck, and use proven coaching techniques to open up new possibilities for empowerment and release.
Unlike any any book or generic course, our focus will be on your passions, your strengths, your weaknesses, and ferreting out those unique sticking points that have been unconsciously pulling you off track for years.
"Coaching is different from other services where the person is often trying to lead you somewhere. It’s hard to explain it in words, but it’s a personal journey that you need to go through with a good facilitator who understands and can help you out. With Liz I can honestly say you’ve got that. She is passionate about life coaching, and it really makes a difference. It’s been fun – a really fun journey!"

No. Coaching is different from therapy. As a coach, I assume that each of my clients is a whole, fully resourced individual, who has the ability within them to live a full life.
In comparison, psychotherapists and counsellors are trained to support anyone who feels 'less than whole,' including people who feel unable to properly engage with living or improving their own life.
If in our sessions I notice that your need for personal healing goes beyond my professional capabilities as a coach, I'll talk about this with you, and refer you to a licensed therapist or counsellor.
This is also true if you are working with any of my digital products – if you feel unstable or incomplete within yourself, do not rely on my products to support you, reach out for professional help.
Nope! The role of a life coach is not to tell you what to do, but provide you with the tools and perspectives you need to figure that out for yourself.
My goal is to 'teach you how to fish,' so to speak.
I'll guide you to develop long-term skills such as joyful self-connection, confident decision-making, emotional fluency, and the ability to face your own limitations without fear, which will in turn enable you to create the kind of life you want to live.
Firstly, by choosing to invest your precious time, money, and energy into coaching, you send a strong internal message to yourself that says: YES, I'm ready to change. This is extremely powerful, and one of the reasons that coaching is so successful.
The second reason is – I know things that you don't know ;-)
As a certified coach, I've been trained to:
Identify root causes and unsonscious blocks
Uncover latent passions and possibilities
Call out self-imposed limits or flexes which hold you back from grounded, sustainable transformation.
Yes I'm biased, but I truly believe that self-connection coaching is one of the best long-term investments you will ever make in yourself.
Once clients have the courage to step into the unknown and commit to discovering who they really are, they will often say things like:
• I wish I'd done this sooner
• I honestly didn't realise what a difference it would make in all aspects of my life
• I really regret holding back for so long out of fear
Why should you invest?
Because we all need a wise guide at some point in our lives who can point out our blind spots, and lovingly walk beside us as we grow into our full potential.
While coaching together we will meet weekly or fortnightly for one-hour coaching sessions – either in person or over the phone/video conference.
During our sessions I will ask powerful questions, offer a range of mental, emotional, and spiritual support tools to help you bust your blocks, and joyfully champion you to take more conscious ownership of how you live.
In particular, I'm here to:
Provide a calm, non-judgmental space within which you can speak your truth, sort through your hopes and fears, and cultivate a sense of boldness that will empower and inspire you each day.
Help you bust through whatever unconscious beliefs or blocks are holding you back from feeling deeply connected, happy, and passionate in life.
Ask you to get real in a way not many people will, and support you in doing the inner work that will allow you to experience a sense of wholeness and fulfillment within yourself.
Fiercely champion your ability to step into your power, to create your own life, and learn and grow in the face of life's challenges.
Guide you through a process of self-transformation that will bring you home to a deeper sense of self.

During this 30-60 minute session I'll help you come home to a sense of clarity and connection within yourself, and give you a real sense of what it is like to work with me as a coach.
You can also explore my blog which will give you insight into my methods and techniques.
Whatever you background or life experience, if you are interested in transforming your life on a fundamental level by doing the 'inner work' of change, then I am here to guide you on that journey.
I've coached 70-year-olds and 22-year olds; brick-layers and CEO's; empaths and expressives, as well as clients who prefer the practical and concrete. Whatever is holding you back, it's my passion and purpose to identify what is blocking you, and help you bust out of that rut you're in.
I'm working on expanding this list. Email me on liz@artofselfconnection.com to get your question answered or request a consultation so we can discuss.
Hiring a life coach is one of the most important investments you can make in yourself, so please don't hold back out of confusion or fear – that's exactly what I'm here to support you through!
"Working and playing alongside Liz has left me with more confidence and less stress. I no longer waste time on things/people/situations that don’t benefit me or help me on the path I want to travel. I now embrace all my ‘Sanna-ness’ wholly, without a doubt ... "
