EarthGlow Reviews 5

I spent just over four months working with Pauline Leung. She was always very flexible and able to adapt our sessions to my changing needs. We covered everything from career development and progression to self-esteem and daily habits. I have ASD and Pauline was very understanding of my difficulties and knowledgeable about techniques I can use to support myself. She has a great way of explaining things. As someone who has had lots of coaching and counselling in the past, Pauline explained things in different ways that helped me change the way I thought about and approached my problems. Her advice was invaluable and her personality is lovely - you can tell she is genuinely listening and working WITH you rather than AT you. I'm sad that our sessions have come to an end, but I'm very grateful for everything she has done to help me. I highly recommend Pauline as a coach for any issues you have!

Wonderful morning spent at EarthGlow womens riverside retreat.Pauline started our session by talking through the activities and excersises we'd be doing and telling us a bit more about herself and her practise.After introductions we had a sensory barefoot walk in the floral part of the garden before making our way down to the river for breath work and gentle movement excersises.Before lunch we enjoyed a craft session and guided meditation.Throughout the morning we were able to drink blends of tea lovingly created by Pauline(I still can't choose a favourite as they were all delicious)Lunch was served in the shade of a cherry tree, buckwheat noodles and a home made dressing of which Pauline will share the recipe online.The morning session concluded with a bit of inner reflection,future goal setting and newly formed friendships.Thank you so much Pauline we are already looking forward to the next women's retreat!!!

Before I started coaching, I was quietly struggling at work with the invisible weight of my hearing loss. Admitting that I couldn’t always follow conversations, missed part of meetings, or had to ask people to repeat themselves felt like admitting failure. So, I masked it. I pushed through. But underneath, my confidence was at an all time low.

Coaching changed everything. In my sessions with Pauline, I finally had space to name the pressure I was under since being diagnosed with hearing loss and wearing hearing aids. I began to realise how much I’d internalised the idea that asking for help or needing adjustments made me appear incompetent.

Through coaching I started seeing my hearing loss as a reality rather than a weakness. A reality that I could work with rather than against. I learnt to set boundaries, to communicate my needs clearly and to stop struggling in silence.

One of the biggest changes was in my confidence levels; I no longer walk into meetings dreading what I might miss - instead I go in knowing I have the tools at my disposal to support me and the right to ask for clarity without feeling embarrassed. I have the confidence once again to speak up and not try to be invisible. Ultimately, by being more open about my disability I feel more respected, not less.

Pauline’s ability to listen without judgement while still challenging me to confront uncomfortable truths has been invaluable in our sessions. She asked some tough self-reflective questions! The kind that really made me question the narrative I had been telling myself. Over the course of 12, monthly sessions, Pauline gave me the tools to learn approaches that will give me lasting confidence and clarity.

Coaching hasn’t just helped me accept my hearing loss, it helped me reclaim my voice professionally, feel confident in my ability to be successful in my role and become resilient to the daily challenges I face. More importantly, I’m no longer hiding a part of myself, and I can show up to work as the most honest version of me.

My coaching needs included organisation, planning, insomnia, and socialising with colleagues.

Pauline helped me to analyse the barriers I might face when implementing certain changes. This involved asking questions about the outcome I hoped to achieve, helping me to visualise this, and allowing me to decide whether a change was necessary or if it was okay to leave things as they are.
Planning around my own moods and ways of working helped me to work with my adhd and manage my own expectations.
Pauline's coaching style is very casual and non-judgemental, making it easy to discuss things in depth. She was good at asking interesting questions which challenged me to think about things from new perspectives and prompted me to come up with my own solutions. She was particularly knowledgeable in sleep issues and helped me to identify which strategies were research backed.
Moreover, Pauline summarised each session succinctly and emailed it to me so that I had a record of the steps I planned to take each week.

What made my experience great about receiving the coaching was the clarity and support it provided. It helped me better understand my strengths, recognise areas for growth, and develop practical strategies to improve. I appreciated having someone objective to talk through challenges with—someone who asked the right questions rather than just giving answers. The coaching made me feel more confident in my decisions and more intentional in how I approached my work and life in general. It wasn’t just about fixing problems; it was about growing as a professional
