Meet Kelly Gates

In my early 40's I lost my partner, home and job all in the space of 7 months. Before long I was also in financial crisis and was left feeling emotionally, energetically and physically burnout. I was depressed, incredibly anxious and began to have panic attacks. I had no idea what the future held and life itself felt totally out of my control.

Around the time that hope kicked in, I made the decision to take control of my life back. To do that, I had to accept what I couldn't change and where I was starting from. I began to question everything and discovered that, if I were completely honest with myself, I hadn't been entirely happy before the series of major changes happened. I'd felt stuck and used to overlooking my needs. After working 20 plus years in a corporate career that I had liked but didn't fully adore, I'd always sensed there had to be more to life. More joy. More freedom. More wealth. More success. More FULFILMENT.

Facing forward, I began to change the stories I told myself about what is possible. I came to view that life plot twist, as being a wonderful opportunity to reinvent myself and set about consciously creating a life connected to my values and deepest desires. I'd discovered coaching back in 2015 becoming an Accredited Personal Performance Coach and undertook further training in wellness and holistic coaching. During that year of major life crisis I gained an additional certification in transformational coaching and began coaching full time. Coaching transformed me and I felt incredibly fortunate to be able to facilitate and witness the most powerful and positive changes in my clients' lives too. 

Being human I'm not immune to being affected by difficulties and the emotions they evoke from time to time. However I now have the right tools and techniques to work with them, taking any golden nuggets of wisdom with me. I am incredibly grateful for this human experience and believe that there is positive opportunity for both internal and external transformation in life's challenges, when willing to look for it.

If you've gone through a life transition and are struggling to envision your next chapter, I see you friend. I hear you. Truly. Are you ready to find a new purpose and create a life you love? Fantastic! I'm here to help...
