Unlock Your True Potential

I'm here to support your journey through powerful coaching. I'll guide you on your path towards a fulfilling life and career or business.

Find Your Path Forward

I help you find clarity, set practical goals, and move forward with confidence. Let's take this journey together.

Hi, I'm Pauline!

I’m a certified Self Mastery and Business Coach based in Melbourne with over 8 years of experience in turning self-doubt into self-empowerment and helping individuals lead truly fulfilling lives.

Growing up in chaos, I lacked confidence and self-empowerment. I tried to compensate by striving for achievements, believing that success would restore my self-worth. However, after burning out in a corporate job and feeling utterly empty, I knew something had to change.

I realised that I was still trapped in the chaos of my childhood, with my life and work completely misaligned. This awakening led me on a journey towards freedom and fulfillment. With 15 years of expertise in self-mastery, corporate roles and entrepreneurship, I offer a uniquely tailored approach to each client, drawing from my diverse background in accounting, recruitment and business coaching.

I guide those who feel unhappy, lost, or directionless, working together to find greater clarity, focus, motivation, joy, purpose, and meaning. My practical and supportive coaching style uses effective mind tools and questioning techniques to get to the root of your challenges and unlock your full potential.

Let's embark on this journey so you can become the best version of yourself.

Slide 1 of 8

Working with Pauline has helped me feel a lot clearer and has given me some self awareness back about why I feel so tired. I know what I’m actually going to do about that because what I’m doing is not sustainable.

Sam

"After working with Pauline, I can really feel the difference within myself. My confidence levels have improved drastically. I’m now able to interact with more ease and have pretty full on conversations with my peers. Some people have even told me they noticed the difference in me!"

Metta

"Before speaking with Pauline, I felt stuck as there were a couple of areas that I wanted to develop and to seek clarity on. In the end, it was an invaluable experience which has provided me with a clear vision, actionable steps and lots of courage to work on reframing my approach to these areas."

Belinda

"It was just very overwhelming before we started and now it just feels like the ball is rolling again. Every session gave me clarity which helped me dig deeper and feel motivated to take action no matter how small. I took more action in 3 weeks than I have in a few months!"

Megan

“Pauline's empathetic nature allowed for a deeper connection during our sessions together and she always gave the gentle push and reminder I needed when my fears seemed too large. She brought to light issues that were causing me discomfort that I was previously not even aware of. This has allowed me to elevate my life to become my best authentic self.”

Cindy

“I loved that Pauline focuses on the root issue rather than the surface layer problems. She helped me point out the exact event that was causing my confidence issues, so I could start working on my self-confidence after this. I could also build a strong approach for myself after my sessions with her.”

Nishtha

“I felt very comfortable during my session with Pauline, and thanks to her, I’ve now been able to prioritise and draw up an action plan with total clarity.”

Rashmi

"Working with Pauline has been transformative! I had felt aimless for a long time, but her thoughtful guidance brought clarity to my goals and helped me overcome self-limiting beliefs. I appreciate her ability to ask the right questions and tailor her support to my needs. A major breakthrough was landing a big project for my side business, a massive step in its growth. Pauline’s coaching sharpened my vision and gave me the tools and mindset to thrive in both life and business."

FAQ

Will coaching work for me?

Absolutely! Coaching is completely tailored to your unique circumstances. The goal is to help you overcome your challenges and empower you to achieve what you want. If you’re willing to commit and put the work in, then coaching will work.

What are the benefits of coaching?

Coaching provides clarity, motivation, and strategies for success. It helps you navigate challenges and stay on track towards your goals whether for personal or professional growth.

Are your sessions in person or online?

All our sessions will be conducted online via Zoom. You’ll need to make sure you are comfortable with this format and are in a space where you can focus.

What can I expect in a session?

Expect open conversation, goal setting, and practical advice. We create a plan tailored to your needs and objectives.

How much time will coaching take?

Sessions are ideally weekly and will be scheduled according to our suited availabilities. Each session is 60-minutes, but it’s up to you to put the work in outside our calls. You will get out what you put into this process.

Are our conversations confidential?

Of course. This is a space for you to explore yourself and we will most likely talk about difficult things together. But you can be sure that anything you share with me will not leave the room. If you have any questions about this, please ask! I want you to feel comfortable with the process.

Will I get homework?

There may be suggested exercises to do outside of our time together as part of the work you need to do to achieve your goal. But ultimately, you are in charge of your results and are not required to do anything I tell you. I’m here to guide you and any suggestions I make are for your benefit, but I won’t be hovering over you to make sure you do it.
