Holistic Coaching & Mentoring for Women

Reclaim balance, restore energy, and move forward with purpose

Are you pouring everything into work and family, only to find there’s nothing left for you? Do you feel drained, stressed and unhappy even though there is lots to be grateful for?

You’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself.

The coaching I offer is for women like you, who feel the weight of responsibility and long to reconnect with what brings them joy, energy, and a sense of personal alignment. My approach is warm, grounded, and deeply practical.

Through personal yet focused conversations, I help you:

Name what’s not working—with honesty, care, and without judgment
Envision what balance could look like—in a way that’s meaningful for you
Take simple, doable steps toward lasting change

Many women I work with are navigating a time of transition—career shifts, parenting demands, aging parents, health concerns, or a quiet inner knowing that something needs to change. Together, we look at what’s pulling your energy, what you’ve been neglecting (including yourself), and how to begin restoring the balance. With my support you can dive deep and look beyond surface level answers.

Coaching with me is not about adding more to your plate. It’s about creating space, clarifying your own truth, and aligning with what matters most. It’s also about feeling supported, seen, and encouraged as you begin to move forward.

“Uschi helped me articulate a vision of balance, take achievable steps, and feel grounded again. I now dedicate time to things I love, just for fun. I feel energised, inspired, and excited about what will unfold next.”

How I work

I offer a safe space for personal growth, mindset shifts and meaningful change. Drawing on insights from neuroscience and the wisdom of ancient shamanic and yogic traditions, I am able to help you move past limiting beliefs, build confidence, and create a life that feels true to you.

Each session is shaped around what you need—whether that’s guided reflection, mindfulness practices, transformational processes, practical strategies, or simply a listening ear.

You’ll experience:

A safe, non-judgmental space to reflect and explore
Honest questions that gently uncover what’s underneath the surface
Practical support and accountability for meaningful change
The option to receive massage therapy alongside coaching sessions
Many women find this combination deeply effective—supporting not just the mental or emotional layers, but also the physical tension or exhaustion that’s built up over time.

Ready for a Change?

If you’re craving change, but aren’t sure where to start, I offer three simple options:

From Tired to True (6 sessions)
This is the heart of my coaching work. A powerful, structured journey that gives you time and space to peel back the layers, listen to what your body and heart are really telling you, and make changes that last. Together we uncover what truly matters, release what's been keeping you stuck, and support you to live in a way that feels more balanced, energised, and deeply aligned.
Clarify & Reset (3 sessions)
A short, focused series to help you pause and check in with yourself. We’ll clear the mental clutter, reconnect with your direction, and begin taking steps that feel grounded and doable. Ideal if you’re at a crossroads or just need a circuit-breaker to regain clarity.
One-off Re-centering Sessions
A spacious single session to help you breathe, reflect, and realign. Whether you need clarity on a current challenge, or a simple return to centre, we’ll meet you where you’re at.

Sessions are available in-person or online and typically last 75 - 90 minutes.

You’re also welcome to explore a Holistic Healing Package, where we combine coaching with therapeutic massage or fascia work to support your body and mind together.

“It feels like she has this bag of tricks she pulls from at just the right moment—except they’re not tricks, but practical tools that help release the old and welcome in the new. I came away feeling more content, more myself, and with real progress toward goals I’d been sitting on for too long.”

Anna Read, February 2022

“The best result for me personally is feeling better in my own skin, more content, happier and with healthier thought patterns, but Uschi has also helped me set and achieve some very practical goals, like organising a workshop and diving into long term business development plans.”

Holistic Coaching is for you, if you:

keep wondering if you are on the right track
are unsure about your next decision
feel like there is something missing
want to become more effective with achieving your goals
unsure of what it is you want
are dissatisfied with your current job or career
want help in clarifying your goals and how to make them happen
feel trapped by your emotions and/or limited by your beliefs

“Coaching is partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.”

Q & A

How does holistic coaching work?

Coaching with me is a collaborative process where we explore what’s holding you back and uncover ways to move forward with clarity and confidence. I use neuroscience-based techniques, breathwork, and reflective practices to help you navigate life’s challenges and transitions, ensuring that the changes you make align with your values and support your whole being.

How is your coaching different from traditional life coaching?

I integrate body awareness, mindfulness, and breathwork into our sessions. My training combines neuroscience-based techniques with wisdom from yogic and shamanic traditions, creating a deeply holistic approach. This is not just about setting goals—it’s about aligning with your true values, releasing emotional weight, and finding a path forward that feels authentic and sustainable.

Who is coaching for?

I work with women who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or at a crossroads, as well as those who are ready for change but need support in staying on track. If you want someone who helps you clarify what it is you want, asks insightful questions, cheers you on, and holds you accountable, coaching can be a powerful way to move forward with greater ease, confidence, and clarity.

Do you offer single coaching sessions? I occasionally offer single sessions to women with whom I have already developed a trusting relationship with - as, for example, my massage clients – if I feel it would be of benefit. If you are in want of a single session, please get in touch to schedule a free phone call first.

I regularly offer a 3-Session Reset for focused support, as well as a more in-depth 6-week coaching journey for deeper exploration and transformation. If you're unsure which is right for you, we can discuss your needs in a free clarity call.

How do I know if this is right for me?

You might be feeling:

Stuck, overwhelmed, or emotionally weighed down.
Like you need support navigating a transition or change.
Chronic tension, stress, or discomfort in your body.
A deep desire to reconnect with yourself and feel lighter.
Anxious and are looking for a practitioner who is trauma aware and whom you can trust to respect your boundaries

If any of this resonates, my work may be a good fit for you.
