One-on-One Coaching
Hey there beautiful
You’re ready to start being the mother and woman that, deep down, you know you really want to be.
But right now, you’re holding onto who you think you “should” be.
You’re always trying to measure up to the expectations of others and comparing yourself to women you see around you and on social media.
You can hardly remember the last time you had any time for yourself, let alone did anything for yourself.
You feel torn between your career and family, wanting to do it all, but feeling like you’re always falling short in one or both areas.
You’re too scared to ask for help because you don’t want to burden others or be seen as not coping.
So, of course you feel overwhelmed, guilty and not good enough!
The more you keep going this way, the more you know things need to change.
You want to feel calm, happy and confident.
To trust yourself and know you aren’t failing.
To find some balance in your life and remember what it feels like to be the joyful, capable, accomplished woman you once knew you were.
I can help you.
As a Motherhood, Life and Leadership Coach, I help mums like you, figure out what their own version of success looks like and make that a reality.
Imagine if you could..
- Give your attention and energy to the things that matter most to you
- Feel confident in your own choices, see your strengths and trust yourself (rather than overthinking, second guessing and doubting)
- Know that you have everything you need within you already
- Believe in your heart that you are worthy and good enough
- Be your authentic self, without fear of judgement or making others unhappy
- Live from a place of love, not fear (working with that critical inner voice, rather than being driven by it)
- Free yourself from guilt, perfectionism and the need to control
- Look after yourself as well as you look after others
- Create more peace, order and calm in your life
- Enjoy the present and BE present
- Create space for things that bring you joy.
Well beautiful, you can..
Whatever is pulling on your heart, can be a reality.
Things don’t have to stay the way they are right now. You can make changes.
And I’ll be right there to support you.
It’s been a year since I connected with Lou, and I would never have predicted that just two weeks of coaching would be truly life-changing. I found Lou through a desperate 2am Google search when my 10-month-old was on a sleep strike.
I was struggling with the contradictory feelings of loving and hating parenthood at the same time, and feeling anxious about how to navigate a return to full-time work.
Through conversations with Lou, I learned about matrescence, felt validated and was able to develop concrete strategies and a mindset that have been transformative to my parenthood journey!
Working with Lou has helped me to achieve the alignment and bliss that I was craving as a parent. I have strategies to help navigate the blending of a career and motherhood and how to follow my own inner compass. Every day I’m still feeling empowered to embrace what inspires me and release anything that doesn’t align with my intuition. I can celebrate what parenthood means to me, and truly understand what a unique journey this is for every single person.
I highly recommend working with Lou – she is a fabulous and talented soul that I am grateful to have crossed paths with.
Working with Louise was one of the best decisions I made this year.
I never thought I needed a coach but working with Louise over the course of 3 months has been transformational! I came to Louise feeling a lack of purpose, lack of confidence and feeling a bit stuck.
She provided me with tools and helped me connect to my intuition to create more structure in my life, remove the doubt I had and guide me on a path that has me ready to launch my own business soon. Louise’s energy is amazing.
Her kindness and compassion makes her a perfect coach. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for one!
Coaching is right for you if..
- You’re ready to take action to create change in your life related to your motherhood experience, personal goals, wellbeing, career or leadership.
- You know you need some loving accountability to help you keep on going.
- You’re looking for support from someone who believes in you and who will cheer you on.
- You’re open to trying new things and considering different perspectives.
You can count on me to..
- Listen, really listen, to your story, your fears, and desires so that you can acknowledge and own them
- Cheer you on every step of the way
- Challenge your thinking and show you your truth and strengths
- Help you identify and overcome your limiting beliefs
- Empower you to set goals that inspire you and take action towards achieving them.
- Believe in you, supporting you to believe in yourself.
How could your life look in 3 months if you were truly able to invest in yourself?
How would you feel?
Why choose me as your coach?
I know what’s it’s like to be exhausted from trying to live up to all the things you “should” be, only to wonder if they really make you happy anyway. As a former corporate workaholic and perfectionist, I understand the pressure of your own high standards and how they seem so very justified and helpful. I’ve tried to plan and control all the elements of my life, only to have the unexpected knock me off my feet. But through that experience, I started to hear the quiet voice that said that there was something better waiting for me, if only I would listen, trust my intuition and let it happen.
I bring over 20 years of experience in leading, coaching and educating people to help them thrive and achieve their goals. I am a certified Coach (Executive and Life Coaching) and Matrescence Facilitator with qualifications in Human Resources, Motherhood Studies, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Applied Neuroscience and Adult Education.
As a mum to a spunky little boy and step-mum to three young adults (who were teenagers when I became their step-mum), I’m no stranger to the way motherhood stretches and challenges us.
I believe that we become MORE when we become mothers, not less, even though it might feel like we’ve completely lost ourselves. Motherhood invites us to go deeper, releasing things that no longer serve us and becoming acquainted with the parts of us that evolve and emerge. It’s my absolute pleasure to walk alongside mothers as they discover this for themselves.
And finally, helping people understand themselves, overcome their unsupportive beliefs and achieve their heart’s desires, lights me up!
I would LOVE to support YOU.
Are you ready to tune into what you truly want and need?
Let’s talk about how you can be the woman and mother you want to be while feeling happier, calmer and lighter.
I have been so privileged to have 1:1 coaching with Louise. Where do I start? Louise is an absolutely beautiful person. You can feel her passion and desire to help you personally but also everyone wanting to make changes in their life. She made me feel at ease right from the start which allowed me to open up and discuss personal concerns that I wanted to change and improve.
I have been able to make great progress in all 3 key goals that were set. Through Louise’s empathy, great listening and reflective skills she was able to help me implement strategies, try ideas I hadn’t thought of, and hold me accountable. I am in a remarkably different and more positive headspace than I was at the beginning of the coaching.
Thank you Louise for using your talents and skills to benefit my life.
If you have thought about coaching but weren’t sure, totally give it a go, it could just change your life!
My vision for the year (which came from one of Louise’s blogs) was to “simplify”. My specific goals were around weight loss, a balance of positive parenting vs self care and health and fitness. Louise supported me with these goals and provided me a safe space to explore and be vulnerable. I indeed achieved my goals and I learnt so much about myself in the process. Now 9kg lighter, I have a regular exercise group and I’m currently making continuous self care improvements and simplifying my lifestyle. I learnt that I have the power within to achieve my goals, and the tools and skills to get me there. Louise was warm, honest, stayed alongside me at my pace, believed in me and trusted me as my own expert. If you’re faced with a challenge with your current lifestyle, have a goal you want to achieve, or you simply want some unconditional support, coaching is the way to go!

I can’t wait to meet you. xx
Still not sure or have a question?
No problem! I want you to make the right choice for YOU. Check out the following FAQs, and if your question isn’t answered there, fill in the contact form above and I’d be more than happy to help you.
What times of day are coaching sessions conducted?
I know it can be hard for many mothers to find alone time. It’s best for you to be able to focus 100% on your coaching session, to make sure you get the most out of them and honour your investment in yourself. So, I have both day time and night time coaching sessions available through the week to accommodate your schedule and the needs of your family as much as possible.
If you have young children with you, it is helpful to have someone else there to look after them. Having said that, we all know how unpredictable children are, and I’m no stranger to having to pause for a few minutes so a client can put a wandering toddler back to bed or quickly attend to a baby’s needs.
The most important thing is that you are able to focus on your needs and not be worrying about what the children are up to!
How are calls conducted?
Coaching sessions will be held via video call using Zoom or Google Meet.
Conducting sessions online means that I can work with clients in any location, and it can alleviate the need to factor in travel time or find care for little ones (I often conduct sessions during nap times or after bedtime).
If, however, you are based in Melbourne’s outer eastern suburbs and you would prefer to meet in person, this may also be possible. Please let me know this is your preference when you contact me.
The personal connection and experience are the same whether we meet in person or online.
Do you offer payment plans?
Monthly payments can be made for both the 3 and 6 Month Coaching Series.
Please don’t put yourself under serious financial strain to engage in a coaching series.
Having said that, if you are looking for ways to make finances available, there are often things that we spend our money on, that are not as important as our own wellbeing and growth. Perhaps you can have your coffee at home, pack snacks to take with you instead of buying them when you go out, or cancel that music subscription that you never use. All the little things add up.
When you make a decision to invest in yourself like this, you will gain back way more than you spend, in changes that can transform you forever. Consider what these changes are worth to you.
Can I still work with you if I am a mother who is not currently in paid work?
Yes! If you are not currently in paid work (I know you’re still working hard at home!) you can still work with me. As a coach, I have supported plenty of mothers who have chosen to stay at home, as well as those on maternity leave. I commonly assist mothers in planning and managing their return to paid work. So, if you feel drawn to working with me, please get in touch and we can chat further about the type of support you need and what you would like to achieve.
What if I need more than one session but can't commit to 3 months of coaching?
If you aren’t in a position to commit to 3 months of coaching, but know that you need more than one session, please book a 30 min complimentary consultation with me. It is possible to customise a package to meet your needs depending on what you are hoping to achieve and what support you feel would be most beneficial.
