Interests

Carol says…

“I’m an active person and love to get outdoors to walk, cycle or run. I enjoy travelling and being in the countryside. I enjoy reading and learning and I always have my head in a book whenever I have a spare moment.

My love of travelling has taken me to many parts of the world. In 2006 I decided to take on my first charity challenge and went with a group of 50 people to trek the Inca Trail in Peru. Raising funds for the charity was a huge challenge for me, but, I amazed myself. With help from friends and colleagues and especially my personal coach, Dawn, I managed to raise funds above my target figure, all in aid of Alzheimer’s Society.

Customer Testimonials

“My first visit to Carol’s coaching had a profound and lasting effect on my life.”
Trish Ash.

“I really enjoyed doing the challenging beliefs exercise with you. I can’t believe I’m so comfortable with a former manager. You are a lovely coach.”
Louise

“Carol has just such an amazing ability to ask the most appropriate question at the right time and this has enabled me to explore my issues and to see my life and career from an entirely different and new perspective. One of the many things I’ve enjoyed about being coached by Carol is that, not only is she totally supportive and caring of me as an individual, but also that she is totally non judgemental. I’ve found Carol’s coaching sessions so beneficial, that after more than 30 years in the Civil Service I finally recognised my true vocation did not lie there and I have now resigned to start my own weight loss and weight management business.”
Lynne Ingham, Senior Consultant with All About W8, Keighley

“In working with Carol I’ve experienced that she is very modest and generous. Modest in the way that she puts herself in service of where I am and what it is I need to accomplish a certain goal. She fully engages in the process and is therefore the best support one can wish for. She has the skills, the tools, the knowledge and experience, the sensitivity (intuition) and the experience to know how to deal with any roadblock that occurs.”
