Testimonials"Dear Karen, Zelna van Dyk"I must say that when I heard the word Coaching, I started to panic. I now must open up to a stranger, someone I don’t know, and this was my ignorant self-speaking. I would recommend this experience to anyone that is open to change."
Yolandy Lakay"I am very grateful for the life coaching sessions I attended with Karen Vally from 27 September 2019 up to 25 March 2020. When I walked into Karen’s study, I had been working for a company without any income, while trying to establish a name in starting my own real estate business.
I had not been earning any money for nine months and my self-esteem had dropped.
I had seen life coaching notes at a friend’s house and enquired about the notes. My friend told me about Karen and I contacted her during my last week at my previous place of employment.
I scheduled an appointment with Karen for the day after I left the company I was working at, as I instinctively knew that I would need to find some new direction and insight into my life – especially with regards to my future.
In the first session with Karen we looked at eight areas in my life and I worked on setting a goal for the next six months.
I felt comfortable and supported during that first session – to open up and be honest about my thoughts and feelings.
From that first session onwards, the relationship between coach and client grew stronger and stronger in terms of trust and support.
I felt encouraged and supported and was equipped with tools to go within and work at self-acceptance and self-love. I grew in terms of unconditional love for myself, my Creator and other beings.
I worked through many feelings and thoughts and learnt to practice skills that were necessary for unparalleled growth and transformation.
The life-coaching sessions, combined with reading many books I read during the six months, opened my heart and mind to keep cultivating positive expectations on a daily basis.
I also started practising meditation and yoga, in addition to my ‘5 or 6 day a week’ gym schedule and worked hard at living a healthy and balanced life in all spheres of my existence.
I am grateful for learning to be accepting and calm about my present circumstances on a daily basis, and to be pro-active in working to change things I am capable of.
It has been an incredible journey of ‘magical transformation’ for me. I know Karen and I have developed a friendship for life. I am eternally grateful for the people placed in my life who help me on my daily journey of transformation. Karen has played an incredibly important part on this journey.
I studied Psychology Honours and teaching in my early twenties, and now 30 years later, at the age of 52, I feel more positive and serene in my life than ever before.
I have immense gratitude for everything I have learnt from Karen, especially about:
- building a strong wall around myself at times in order to protect myself,
- focusing on my own life, while caring for others,
- ensuring that I have boundaries in order not to lose ‘myself in others’,
- not judging myself and others harshly,
- believing in myself and my abilities,
- rewarding myself,
- living with faith and hope,
- eternal gratitude,
- unconditional love for self, my Creator and others.
I feel super inspired to one day also qualify as a life coach, who can also help others to growth and to increase confidence and to be set free from previous self-imposed prisons in terms of body, mind and soul.
I am grateful for the time spent learning from Karen and see my time with her as the best investment I have ever made in myself.
I feel blessed to have grown in awareness and mindfulness. There have been vast improvements in my life in terms of the following:
- financial management,
- friendships and relationships,
- social life,
- vocational life or work,
- physical health,
- mental health,
- spirituality,
- emotional balance,
- personal growth and development,
- confidence,
- self-acceptance and self-love,
- passion,
- purpose.
I feel blessed to be able to carry the skills I have learnt during my times with Karen into my future with a lot of hope, zeal and faith for superlative growth in order to help others towards self-actualisation and finding true purpose and meaning in life.
Yours sincerely, "
Arnold Spangenberg"To Karen and those wishing to grow Dan Forsyth"My life coaching sessions with Karen have been one of the most powerful experiences of my life. I lost my voice for 6 months and visited numerous Dr's and ENTs having trial and error remedies. I was introduced to Karen by my parents, and as I look back, it was in fact the only remedy I needed. Anonymous"We all reach a stage in our lives where we assess what we have done and where we are going and what we want out of life. What we enjoy in life. The legacy we want to leave. Karen helped me refocus my busy schedule to gain perspective and balance back into life and work. Give it a go!" Anonymous"Children, if you dare to think Anon"Coaching sharpened my awareness. It was a journey of self-reflection. It helped me to focus on where I wanted to be and taught me the skills I needed to get there. I learnt how to prioritise and how to communicate more effectively. My confidence grew. Coaching taught me how to think more deeply about the various aspects of my life and encouraged me to see things differently. I now actively seek solutions for each new challenge I face. I felt very comfortable in the non-threatening and non-judgemental environment that coaching creates." Peter"I will always cherish the unfolding of this very unique and synchronized programme. For many years I did not voice my opinion, express my wishes and ask for what I wanted. I had a lack of self-love, felt that I was not worthy and came from the conditioning that others always came first. Merinda"The New Insights program helps one identify areas in one’s life that one is avoiding and not dealing with. It gives one new ideas into how to think differently and act accordingly. After the course you will look at life through fresh eyes and changing one’s negative patterns into more positive ones. The goal setting challenges one to change old ways and move in a positive direction towards a happier self. Having a more positive outlook on life can help one attain those goals and get out the rut one is in before the course. The regular sessions force one to become accountable for the goals set out. I would recommend it to anyone, especially if you are needing New Insight into your life and motivation." Diana"Karen Vally is my life coach and mentor and I honestly wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for her. My life coaching journey was, to say the least, the best thing I could have ever done for MYSELF. Not only did it allow me to discover things about myself which I would never have otherwise discovered but it also gave me the courage to do the things I would never have thought possible. Amanda Low"Karen as a life coach has helped me tremendously to find a clearer direction in both my personal life and my career. She has shown me how important it is to put myself first! Going through the Wheel of life in depth has unlocked something inside of me. My life is now more balanced which has given me a new perspective and best of all, 'an action plan'. Thank You Karen." Craik Speirs"I have always believed that in life everything happens for a reason and when I met Karen Valley at a Business Seminar, I knew that I met her for a reason. Riona Rajkumar"I have become a far more confident and self-reliant person and the post session effort Karen put in really helped to motivate me between sessions." Chris"I hope you are at your best today. I believe that today is my goal deadline day. To love myself unconditionally. I'm not at the beach as I had imagined I would be during our sessions on this day but every other expectation is there. Through daily affirmations, journaling, praying I have managed to appreciate myself more. Not only did I start believing that I deserve better but I started doing things that represent just that. I recently got baptised, an action that has drawn me closer to God.
Anonymous"Thank you Karen!! For unlocking my treasure chest, so that I could discover my true potential. Your patience, guidance and care made me realize that I am capable of conquering all that I want to through confidence, wisdom and my spirituality. Through your guidance I started to study, somewhere I did not ever want to go and now I love it!!
Keshni Peters"Karen and I met at a business marketing group where she was given the opportunity to talk about her business. I was intrigued by what she had to share and inspired by her self confidence, zest for life and clear sense of direction. We set up a one-to-one coffee date and it was there and then that I made the decision to go exploring for my "Untapped Potential". I had a very powerful first session which motivated me to continue with the Life Coaching programme and … I am so glad I did! It has been an amazing journey, giving me the opportunity to dig deep and discover things about myself which I would never have done on my own. My self confidence has significantly increased, I have taken on a new approach to life, focusing on the inside-out and have become unstoppable. Karen, I thank you for your support and encouragement and look forward to our continued relationship. It's not the end ... it's just the beginning!" Amanda Low"July 2014 - About two years ago Karen asked me to be a "test subject" for her in her training as a life skills coach. The session was interesting and I was drawn to it. Peter McEvilly"What Karen has done for me has changed my world... Zunilda"As a busy entrepreneur, running the daily activities of my business is a full-time undertaking. There is little time available to focus on growth and development - key components of a successful business. .
After a small presentation on Life coaching presented by Karen at a business networking meeting I realized I needed help in trying to achieve my dreams. Stacy Ellis"I recently received an email from Karen telling me that I had won a free life coaching session. In my life, I have been through counsellors and social workers, but the minute I met Karen I felt at home. Her warmth and kindness just radiated outwards and I felt that she was someone in whom I could confide. She understands that each individual is different and she treated me with so much kindness. Aysha Jubhai"I have recently completed the New Insights Coaching Programme with Karen. At the time I was dealing with challenges on a personal and work level! At all times I felt comfortable with disclosing personal issues and Karen always dealt with them in a professional and caring manner. I felt that I was being heard and understood and that she took the time to understand! Sandra Gavin"As a former teacher I have often done goal setting with my students, but it always revolved around making a list and then a once-off word of encouragement to the students to achieve their goals. This programme enabled me to unpack the beliefs and values that have shaped my life and hindered me from achieving my goals. The goal setting in this programme is also a process which has directed me to actively engage in achieving my goals so that they don't just remain a list on a piece of paper. Lara Edmonds"I recently had the privilege of attending one of Karen Vally's life coaching sessions and I can honestly say it was a life changing experience. She is a highly skilled mentor and listener and was able to impart valuable advice and practical methods to help me deal with some of my concerns and issues. I felt relaxed in her company and knew that she truly understood me and I sensed her deep compassion and care throughout the session. Suzi Hellens |
