What People Say

“Dealing with financial issues has always felt daunting to me but Anne Marie helped me feel more confident and in control.

It’s not only her financial expertise that was so valuable, but her ability to address both the emotional and practical aspects of financial management.

She took the time to listen to my concerns, validate my feelings, and provide reassurance. Her empathetic approach made it easier to do a detailed analysis of my financial situation.

On the practical side, Anne Marie provided clear, actionable steps that were tailored to my specific situation. Her commitment to my success was obvious at every step.

Anne Marie’s comprehensive, compassionate, and professional approach has helped me significantly reduce my stress levels regarding financial matters. I’m truly grateful for her support. ”

Liz - experienced professional

“As a result of the coaching, I have identified that the feelings around money are just that, feelings. I understand that the thoughts and feelings I was having around money were not helpful but also that they pass.

My partner has also really benefited from me doing the programme. We have talked a lot about it and what we want to do in terms of our future financial planning.

I have found that having you there as my coach has made me take more action like looking into the pension side of things for both myself and my partner.

I now realise that the feelings of stress and panic are not helpful. I have a much more hopeful outlook on the future now and feel that there is a lot more in my control that I previously believed.

The sense of shame I had about my financial situation has reduced exponentially and I have a real sense that everything will be fine. I have found myself talking to friends about the programme and about why I am doing it and I feel both empowered and excited by it. ”

Sarah, mid-career professional

“I can’t thank Anne-Marie enough for helping me with my decision to buy my first property. As well as guiding me through this big decision and the house-buying process, she also helped me with working on myself. I would go so far as to say she has changed my way of thinking. It has been an amazing process, I am more confident with myself and my own decision now!

Thanks again for everything. You have helped me a lot, not just with the decision on buying an apartment but everything really. I always think of you each time I need to remind myself that I am enough :) ”

JP, early to mid-career professional

“Working with Anne-Marie has been transformative. For me it has been a total paradigm shift in how I think about money and my interactions with all of my finance, both personal and professional. It has been a really positive experience.

Anne-Marie's visualisations and meditations were hugely helpful and enjoyable - soul cleansing is how I think of it! Thank you Anne-Marie! ”

Seonaid, mid-career professional

“A few "wins" I have achieved since working with Anne-Marie: 🌟Paid back personal debt and last year I bought my own home, something I never thought I’d do.

🌟I understand that numbers aren't my enemy. Some structure in life is necessary to be able to keep on track.

🌟I have left behind old beliefs such as "money is hard to come by" and "rich people are greedy".

🌟I feel confident I am in charge of my finances & my future. ”
