Where it all started...

Client Feedback

I would like to thank you for the amazing coaching session. The session was very engaging and it made me think critically of how to approach the aspects/topics we discussed. Marciel suggested practical and realistic ways of managing and dealing with those aspects. An absolute highlight for me at the end of the coaching session was that I don't have to be so hard on myself, strive for progress and not for perfection.

I have gone to therapy before and life coaching is nothing like that, its a platform of constructive and practical discussion of endless possibilities that you choose for yourself. One of the most overwhelming but freeing experience I have ever had in my life. It is something that has transformed and help change the direction of my life. It has started a "snowball effect" within me, the journey to self discovery and acceptance of one's true self. As someone who usually puts the needs of other above my own I never thought that I will have the courage and be excited to meet the real me and to put in the work to get there, but I have never been this excited to see where a journey will take me. It has given me the power to take back control over my life.

I found that Marciel radiate kindness and I enjoyed your enthusiasm towards our session. She’s insightful, empathetic and she held a safe space for open, honest communication. I enjoyed that she guided me to finding my own answers and that she has given me tools/exercises to easily implement into my life.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you. We had out first coaching session a couple of days ago. I was slightly hesitant at first as I had previously never engaged in any sort of coaching or therapy session. You were an absolute dream to speak to and made it so easy for me to communicate openly about my feelings and emotions which was a breath of fresh air. You encouraged me to read myself introsepctively which is something I don't do easily, and it revealed a bundle of questions which I hadn't thought of before which lead to some good "aha!" moments. I can't wait to talk again.

Dit was so lekker om jou te ontmoet. Ek het 'n baie goeie ervaring gehad. Jy het my gelei en laat ontdek hoe ek oor sekere situasies en aspekte voel en dit bietjie te ontrafel. Ek verstaan nou soveel meer hoekom ek optree soos ek doen met keuses wat ek maak want ek verstaan nou die dieper redes agter dit. Jy het my so mooi gewys hoe mens vinnig in tonnel visie kan verval. Nou het ek weer lekker perspektief en vrae is oopgekrap wat ek lekker mee kan journey. Dit is so lekker om te gesels en werklik te voel dat daar aan mens aandag gegee word en om dit saam uit te figure. Jou hart straal by jou voorkoms uit.

Ek wil net vir jou baie dankie sê vir die coaching! Dit het regtig baie gehelp om met n ander perspektief na my situasie te kyk, ‘n manier wat ek glad nie aan gedink het nie. Die sessie het ook gehelp om die positiewe in my situasie raak te sien. Overall het dit vir my net daardie nodige motivering gegee om 100% met my planne voort te gaan.

Baie dankie vir die uurtjie wat jy vandag met my gedeel het. Jy is werklik 'n baie groot inspirasie. Jou liefde vir mense en dit wat jy doen is aansteeklik. Vandag se sessie het vir my vreeslik baie beteken ek sal ek verseker in my lewe probeer toepas so goed ek moontlik kan. Die driehoek wat ons bespreek het: dankbaarheid, balans en self liefde/aanvaarding is verseker my nuwe motto vir 2020. Ek gaan daarna streef om myself elke dag te verbeter en my nie met ander te vergelyk nie, maar eerder om met myself te kompiteer. Elke dag beter en sterker te wees as die vorige. Tyd vir myself maak en myself leer aanvaar en liefhê vir wie en wat ek is. Weereens dankie vir die wonderlike inspirasie. Jou lewenslustigheid is aansteeklik.
- C. Vorster
Ek het soveel waarde geput uit slegs 60 min. Die coaching sessie was gestruktureerd, insiggewend en het my oë oopgemaak vir my eie "blindspots". Ek het baie gemaklik gevoel om myself oop te maak, en ons het gesels asof ons al jare lank sielsvriendinne is. Ek stap weg "energised" en met meer selfvertroue oor die keuses wat ek maak.
- N. Nel
Die coaching-sessie met Marciel was vir my so ‘n insiggewende ervaring. Sy het my gehelp om sin te maak van die professionele struikelblokke waarby ek tans stilstaan en om my visie te verbreed. Ons het ‘n hunkering daarna om ‘n sukses van ons lewens te maak maar die stappe en vereistestes en druk voel soms oorweldigend. Weereens dankie - dit was wonderlik om te gesels!

I just want to thank you for your time. I’ve been struggling to pin point why I’m not moving forward and why my dreams seem impossible. Thank you for giving me new perspective and making me realize, my dreams are not too big. You helped me get answers for questions I didn’t even know I had. Your advice helped me see that with a bit more structure around my “what’s important” and “what can I do right now”, my dreams are very much achievable.
- M. Nieuwoudt
A 1 hour session with Marciel feels like a day long retreat, we were able to work through so much. She really knows how to focus on the root of a problem and give perspective to a situation. During our session I was able to talk through, and admit things that I did not even know I had been worried about subconsciously - that's how good she is!
- M. Oosthuizen
It is funny how, when someone you do not personally know can help you deal with very personal and internal issues and how just being able to discuss these things with someone as professional as you can make one re-evaluate ones life and decisions for the better. My take aways from the session was profound and I realised that my feelings and emotions are always valid. What stood out and what will always stay with me was the very simple but amazing illustration you drew for me of the houses. It is wonderful how something so small, can be so very significant. I will start to only take care of my little erf and house and trim those branches back completely. Thank you for always being an inspiration and motivator.
- N. Oosthuizen
Thank you for a great session. You asked just the right questions and I felt very comfortable. In the session you were able to zoom in on the underlying drivers of how I was feeling super quickly. I also really enjoyed how you explained things visually and gave me a little exercise to try. Very worth it.
