Weight loss success
Megan’s story
I have, like many others, every December 31st sat down with pen and paper and written out a set of goals for the coming year, inevitably a weight loss goal would be on there, always wanting to get to my healthy BMI.
Every year I would write down my current weight (usually a kg or two higher than the previous year’s start weight!) and every year I would start the New Year with a BANG and go into a new weight loss plan that I would stick to for a month or so and lose 5-10 kg, only to put the weight straight back on a few short months later.
Some years when I added up all the lots of 5kg I’d lost it added up to 20-30kg over the course of a year! January I’d lose 5kg only to have it right back on there after Easter, so I’d lose another 5kg in May, then by July I would be 6kg heavier! September would be approaching with the promise of sunshine and swimming weather so back I’d go and lose those same pesky 5kg! A holiday in October and back those kilos came, November I’d lose them only to gain them back over the Christmas party season! Around I’d go year after year.
I really was on that dreaded yo-yo weight loss cycle. With Suzi’s help what I have discovered is that success is more about winning the mental game than about diet and exercise plans.
Suzi is not afraid to challenge me to look at myself and the excuses I have used in the past when not achieving my goals, helping me to own the choices I have made and making wiser ones moving forward.
I have read many self-improvement books over the years and whilst each has been enlightening in some way, having someone alongside me to encourage me and help me choose what I will apply to myself has been invaluable. Seeing results feels fantastic!
I recommended taking on a life coach to anyone serious about changing their future, I especially encourage you to seek out Suzi to help you.

I have struggled for over 20 years trying every supposedly “proven” way to lose weight.
I would make continual promises to myself to change and then break them. It was very disheartening.
There is only so many times you can try the same thing expecting a different result. It’s not only insane but also exhausting, both physically and mentally.
Many plans give advice on what to eat, when to eat and how to exercise – an integral part of losing weight. But nothing got to the bottom of why I was overweight in the first place or why I could not sustain lasting change.
Mindsets, thinking and beliefs play a huge part in being successful in this area as well as many other areas of life. It is not a “cookie cutter” or “one size fits all” pattern – it is very individualised and personal.
That is why life coaching is so important to success.
As a trained fitness instructor I know a lot about diet and exercise. Believe me – I thought I didn’t need a life coach and could do it on my own – boy was I wrong! I am so sorry it took me so long to give it a go.
With Suzi’s help I lost 14 kilos in 5 months and for the first time in 20 years managed to break through a weight barrier at which I had continually given up in the past.
Suzi’s Life Coaching methods are easy, understandable and practical, she is not pushy but does get you thinking and “being real” to get results and sustain lasting change.
If weight loss is your goal or even just achieving something that you have longed for but not been able to achieve, life coaching with Suzi will definitely be able to help you reach your goals.
Take a tip from me. DON’T HESITATE – Contact her NOW – YOU WON’T REGRET IT!!
Relationship clients
Susan
It took a lot of courage for me to reach into the depths of suppressed forgiveness. But, I was willing to do it and especially…I didn’t want to take it into my marriage.
I’m grateful to Suzi for the work we have accomplished. It was confronting at times but, I finally feel like I’ve let the past go and now I have moved on in the right direction which I was meant for.
I’m happier than I ever thought I could be.
David
Relationship work with Suzi was tough, soul searching and challenging, but I now have a stronger deeper relationship with the love of my life and a greater sense of purpose and confidence.
I would recommend Suzi if you want genuine honesty, sincerity and wisdom – she is inspiring.
Lorraine
I didn’t meet Suzi by accident – I’m sure our paths were meant to cross. Relationships are never easy and Suzi is my “miracle worker”. She was there when I needed her the most and worked to change the direction of my life. With her coaching sessions she created for me bridges of understanding and connected me to the person who loves me the most. I was very motivated to make a change in my life. I thank Suzi from the bottom of my heart. I would not hesitate to recommend Suzi – a dynamic life coach.
Mentoring recommendations
Vipin Jain, Landgate – October 2019
It was a stroke of good luck for me to have Suzi as my guide and mentor. She is knowledgeable, thorough, patient and kind. Suzi’s coaching and mentoring skills assisted me in understanding what was blocking my success and she worked hard with me to fix it. I would say she is a talented artist when it comes to writing a brilliant resume, addressing selection criteria with attention to detail, preparing for an interview and in my job search journey she also helped me deal with failure maturely. Thank You Suzi for assisting me to progress in my career by moving a level up in my organisation. You are a star.
Sladjana Misic-Pavlovic, Department of Finance – December 2018
More than just a mentor, Suzi has huge heart and willingness to help others along with the knowledge and strategy to bring out the best in them. She helped me to set a goal, discover my strengths, focus on my achievements, get my confidence back and obtain an acting position in a higher role. I was truly blessed to get Suzi as a mentor in the 2018 Inter-agency Mentoring Program. Her positive attitude comes from within and permeates everything she does – she was like an angel sent to me from the above. I truly recommend Suzi to anyone who needs personal or professional help.
Leanda Wright, Donate Life, Health Department – December 2017
As my mentor in the 2017 Inter-agency Mentoring Program Suzi started working with me where I was at, carefully listened without judgement and then helped me work out a direction and goals for myself. She offered effective targeted resources, strategies and insights without pushing which helped to foster autonomy and empowerment for me within the mentor-mentee relationship. This was particularly important as I was trying to find a solution for a disempowering work environment. With Suzi’s support and guidance I was successful in obtaining a productive twelve month secondment.
David Blunden, Disability Services Commission – May 2017
Suzi is insightful, thorough, talented and has outstanding communication skills. Her coaching and career advice was spot on, assisting me to obtain the first government job I applied for, following my retrenchment from a private sector organisation I had been with for 34 years. She helped me identify my strengths, update my resume so that it better showcased my abilities and stepped me through the process of addressing selection criteria. She also provided a practical method of interview preparation, including strategies for ensuring I presented in a peak state, confident and well equipped to succeed.
Melanie Bantick, Mental Health Commission – December 2016
I was fortunate to have Suzi as my mentor for the Interagency Mentoring Program in 2016. Suzi has assisted me far more than I ever anticipated. We covered a large variety of personal development topics in addition to career development. Suzi helped me to apply for a level 3 position and with her guidance in writing up my resume and selection criteria, although I was 21 with only 18 months experience in the public sector; I was the successful applicant. Our relationship has extended beyond the mentoring program, and I am very grateful for Suzi’s ongoing support and encouragement.
