Happy Clients

Kind words from some awesome people!

Happy clients make me happy!

But don’t take my word for it! Here’s what other people say about working with me.

“Cath has been amazing as a mentor for my business Smashcake. She has such a broad knowledge of many aspects of running a small business and I’ve learnt more about my running my own business since having regular coaching sessions with Cath, than I have in all my years in business.

Most importantly I’m looking at my business with a fresh perspective and I always seem to have new goals to achieve – thanks to the accountability tasks we set together on a monthly basis. All of this has led to a more productive and profitable business with a “real” direction, which I am very grateful for.

The thing that struck me most about Cath when we had our first mentoring session was that she seemed to already know my business inside out. It was obvious that she had done a lot of research before we spoke.

She’s shown a sincere and genuine interest in wanting to see my business succeed. I would highly recommend Cath to anyone who is after intelligent, well considered business and marketing advice.”

“When I started working with Cath, I didn’t have a lot of experience in business and understanding how to connect with my customers. Cath helped me work through some business and marketing basics and look at different ways to promote my business.

Our regular catchups were great. Cath provided another “business head” for me to bounce ideas off, brainstorm solutions or just talk things through with. She’s friendly and easy-going, and very experienced and knowledgeable. If I asked her a question, I found that she’d usually dealt with it before in her own business, or seen how it worked in other businesses.

Running my business is so much smoother – and that makes me very happy!”

“I must admit I was a bit nervous about starting to work with a business coach, but Cath is great. She’s knowledgeable about my area of business and very understanding about the problems that arise.

She has given me the confidence to put in place new systems, and has given helpful advice on how to work with my current clients, as well as gaining some new ‘perfect clients’.

Since our regular sessions, I have implemented all the systems we spoke about and updated all the little bits that I had been ignoring. I no longer have my imposter syndrome lurking in the back of my mind too. I feel confident and on-track and I am extremely thankful for what Cath has shown me to build a business I love.”

“I was excited to work with Cath, as even though I’ve worked with coaches on mindset, dreams and goals before, I wanted to take action – and lots of it – to pivot my business in a new direction. While I originally had a specific goal in mind, the coaching process actually took me down an interesting path, before finding my way back to it with way more clarity than before.

Cath was very easy to work with and had my best personal and business interests at heart throughout. Her marketing background added depth and a different perspective to her coaching. I didn’t want it to be over!”

“When I first started working with Cath, I was at a real crossroads in my business. I was unsure in which direction I wanted the business to move into and how to integrate my private life in a positive way that was sustainable for my overall wellbeing.

From the very first session, Cath provided a safe space to be completely honest and to come to decisions and outcomes on my own, with gentle guidance and a beautiful sounding board when necessary. She helped me integrate some life changing habits and thought processes, by putting myself and my personal life first. Only then could I embrace the parts of my work that I was scared to be judged for previously.

I am now confidently putting into place the actions required to create a more fulfilling and sustainable business that serves me. Thank you Cath for everything!”

“I started working with Cath as my business and marketing mentor because I felt I didn’t understand enough about marketing and needed some additional skills. She helped me clarify what I was doing and why I was doing it, and then how best to communicate that with my audience.

Cath is lovely to work with and really knows her stuff. She has shared her knowledge with me in a really sequential and organised way, which is great! I love how things are specifically tailored to my needs, leaving me to implement my strategy and plan without feeling overwhelmed. She has given me some great tips on working efficiently, which have allowed me to avoid distraction and have more time and headspace for my marketing tasks.

Working with Cath has also provided reassurance and validation, ensuring I have realistic expectations and a manageable workload within a busy family life.

We covered a lot in 12 months, and I feel like I’ve come so far with my business in that time!”

“As part of the Beautiful You life coaching course, I was excited to hear that we would have the opportunity to have a buddy and participate in a coaching series as part of the course. Cath and I were teamed up and it was a great match!

She made me feel completely at ease right from the start and allowed me the space to explore what areas I would benefit from working on.

Cath provided a great balance between allowing me to find the answers within myself, as well as guiding me with suggestions and ideas that could make a difference when I felt a little stuck. She encouraged me to try new things and look outside of the box when it came to finding inspiration through creativity.

I really enjoyed my time working with her and am grateful for her generous listening and commitment to making a difference to me.

“I really enjoyed the one-on-one Clarity session that I had with Cath. I have had a business idea going around in my head for a long time but really had no idea where to start to bring it to a reality. Cath had tools that she had created that made it easy to walk through the steps to bring the ideas into a written down plan of action, ready for me to run with. It’s obvious that she knows what she is talking about but she also has the ability to explain and relate concepts to someone that has had little or no experience – I love that combination!
