About Me

I bring a unique background and skill set as a coach, mentor, teacher and facilitator in both corporate and personal development settings. I’ve worked with groups and individuals for over twenty years, guiding the process of transformation, and supporting people to gain capacity and awareness of their ‘growing edge’.

My passion for working with people is inspired by a deep history of reflective practice, a relentless curiosity for what makes humans tick – and a real desire to help people work together more effectively – and with more enjoyment and purpose.

Testimonials.

Grace, Engineer

I just wanted to say “Thank you”. This program has definitely changed my perceptions and elevated my capabilities to another level. I had so much going on due to COVID restrictions, work related stress and being away from my family. You have guided me through this challenging time. It’s a lot easier now to allow myself to rest completely, both body and mind, and be able to pay attention to the present moment without judgements. It came just right when I needed it most.

Jane, Supervisor

I started mindfulness coaching with Neera as I was trying to improve my productivity at work and nut out some time management strategies to deal with my increasing workload. What I walked away with was so much more. Over the 6 sessions Neera assisted me to delve deep into my consciousness and deconstruct some old beliefs that were holding me back from working at my full potential. Getting to fully understand the ‘whys’, enabled me to focus on the best ‘ways’ to feel empowered to structure things my way. This has allowed me to feel more relaxed and less stressed about my workload. I have a new sense of calm and understand how I work best. Neera is a natural and experienced coach that is able to take you on an unexpected but rewarding journey into yourself. Knowing when and how far to stretch the mind in order to allow the answers to flow with ease. Neera is warm and personable and quick to feel at ease with.

Kate, Governance

The Development Coaching Program has been extremely insightful and a wonderful experience. I wanted to learn how to be a better leader, but didn’t know where to start. Neera and the program took me on a journey to discover the tools within myself to allow me to deal with difficult conversations in my position as a leader. I’ve developed confidence I never knew I had and, with the help of Mindfulness, I continue to grow. Neera brought awareness to my responses to challenging issues and together we have developed skills to achieve good outcomes. Being honestly critical with myself has allowed me to achieve growth. Neera guided me through this process with lots of thought provoking material and regular check ins. Thank you Neera, you have changed me as a leader!

Ella, Local Council Officer

Neera's mindfulness sessions have been welcome in the work day to help reset and refocus the mind for the rest of the day. Neera will check in with the group and adjust the type of practice depending on what the group needs are on the day. I have my own mindfulness practices outside Neera's sessions, which serve different purposes for re-calibration and introspection. The guided meditation Neera performs is perfect addition to those, for releasing stress and resetting expectations during the work day and improving my productivity.

Sarah, 25 (NSW)

I completed six sessions of one-on-one professional coaching with Neera and found it to be of great benefit. Neera helped me refocus on my professional values and goals which has helped me re-frame my professional priorities and find more enjoyment in my work. Neera is very knowledgeable, approachable and professional. I highly recommend her services.
