we walk this path together
Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour, shall be honoured with deep and sacred respect.
we WEAVE THIS INTO OUR journey TOGETHER.
our history. our healing. our identity.
You have always been worthy of feeling free, energised and excited about life!
You ALREADY have the power to wake up feeling confident and excited about your future.
I know what it feels like to feel invisible, dismissed, and overlooked.
When you’re stuck in survival mode, the idea of creating a life that lights you up can seem possible for someone else just maybe not for you.
MY focus WILL BE on you as a whole person.
you embody the ability to heal & lead yourself.
you are not alone
I want to let you know that everything you want is possible for you too.
When I work with you as a Holistic Life Coach, I bring the wholeness of your human experience to the path. We walk together.
I understand the layered complexity of the world which we navigate such as the impacts of historical policies, our transgenerational trauma, and the systems of oppression.
My personal and professional journey along with my holistic counselling and life coaching studies have enabled me to create a unique approach to my practice.
Through a cultural lens
I draw on your inner wisdom, knowledge and strength and infuse that with ancestral wisdom to help you unveil life-changing shifts.
This is a safe container for you.
Feel deeply seen and heard.
Be validated and acknowledged at all times.
I create a space where you can be vulnerable and true to who you really are.
This is more than just life coaching.
This is a soul-transforming journey.
together, we CAN and WILL, rewrite the blueprint of your life.
you excited?!
I’d love the opportunity to yarn more about working together. So, if it feels like it’s this is your time. Let's do this!
Hear from you soon.

Through coaching with Yolanda, I have been able to understand and unpack strategies and tools which are helping me work to build my inner strength as an Aboriginal woman.
Yolanda has provided a culturally safe approach to support my healing journey. Being an Aboriginal woman herself, she provides an understanding through a First Nations lens.
I've been provided with a supportive space to unpack intergenerational traumas, my self-worth, self-love, identity, unpacking and strengthening my purpose.

Diversity, Equity & inclusion
I acknowledge the custodians of the land on which I work and live, the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nations, and pay my respects to Elders past and present. I acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded. It always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.
I endeavour to create inclusive, safe spaces for my clients regardless of age, education, culture, ethnicity, race, sex, gender identity and expression, nation of origin, religion, disability, body size, or sexual orientation. I am committed to consistently improving inclusivity and accessibility and welcome feedback in these areas.
Due to systematic oppression and generational trauma, I acknowledge that historical inequities can affect financial access. For this reason, I have created an equitable pricing structure that centres women, and gender diverse members of the First Nations community. Clients are encouraged to opt in to this community pricing or pay the regular fee if it feels more aligned.

She brings a wealth of knowledge and experience across the wellbeing and business sectors and offers this through a lens of culture and trauma-informed practices.

YARNING CIRCLE
Breathe Pause Trust Reflect
THIS IS For those, like me, who may be extra sensitive TO the deafening noise IN THE WORLD.
Amongst the chaos, WE CAN find peace IN CONNECTION WITH OUR TIDDAS. WE CAN TAP INTO THE CALM WHEN WE connect and trust OUR inner knowing.
SOVEREIGNTY
✊🏽 Sovereignty starts with my personal responsibility to myself.
✊🏽 It is about standing in my power, my truth and taking up my rightful space.
✊🏽 It’s about grounding myself in self-worth, self-trust and power and from those placemaking decisions that are best aligned and best serve me at all times.
✊🏽 It is about making the choice to silence the noise to allow the ancestral truths to flow
✊🏽 In respecting and honouring my own personal sovereignty, I also respect and honour the personal sovereignty of every person I work with.
Do you want to run a women's circle?
