Some of the most meaningful conversations take place at life's proverbial 'fireside'. In The Haven this is the space to reflect on our dreams, explore the possibilities, and get excited about what could change in life when we open ourselves up to the potential for deep transformation over time.
The Fireside is somewhere to remove our shoes, put our feet up, and take a moment to pause. Let's reflect on what matters most.
This is somewhere we can step away from the busyness and noise of everyday life, and take stock of what's been going on. It's an opportunity to re-calibrate and re-orientate ourselves in sync with the direction of becoming that deep down, we truly want our lives to take.
I'm a professionally qualified personal performance coach and I love using the skills I have acquired (and continue to develop), to support others come back to who they are and what matters most to them. I get really excited when people give themselves permission to really explore the possibilities for their life.
In the Fireside I have created a range of different resources to suit different needs. Whether you need some One-to-One support, a bit of gentle inspiration, or an immersive coaching program, I've got you covered.
So take off your shoes, pick up a mug of something tasty, and let's see what happens...
"In my session with Andy I experienced what it is like to have someone deeply listen to me, sit with me, and help me sort out my brain. It was such a gift. I came to the session feeling overwhelmed with the many thoughts and ideas that were swimming around my mind and Andy had this ability to reflect back to me what he was hearing and with poignant, gently delivered questions, guide me to a point of clarity I hadn’t experienced in a conversation for a long time. Andy clearly has a rich body of training and knowledge that he draws on."
- Sharon (Australia)
I work with quiet souls, sensitive types, and other gentle rebels who want to enjoy more creative energy, experience fulfilment in their work and relationships, and navigate the noise of life in a way that works for their personal pacing so they can build a life that feels good to them.
A One-to-One session is perfect if you're facing a challenge, want to progress on a goal, or are looking for clarity about what you want to do next.
It's amazing what one focused conversation can unlock!
Programs
I've designed the three Fireside Programs to meet you wherever you are on your journey. Whether you need to rest your nervous system, reframe your stories, or (re)build life in a new direction, this is an invitation to work One-to-One with me for encouragement, accountability, and on-going personal support.
Courses
Autumn
If you're ready to explore the caves, coastlines, mountains, forests, lakes, and labyrinths of a world that is bursting with life (YOUR life), then I'd love to welcome you home!
The Return to Serenity Island is an immersive creative coaching program, designed to take you on a journey back to what truly matter. It uses maps, narrative meditations, and a process of self-discovery to help you fall in love with life's possibilities.
Spring
We encounter walls everyday in life. We’ve been smashing through them since we were born. We’ve always conquered seemingly impossible and insurmountable obstacles in front of us, and come through the other side to tell the tale.
In this course we turn the wall(s) that are currently casting a shadow over our life into a memorial stronghold…another chapter in our story of becoming. And turn them from a looming present obstacle into an inspiring future tale.
Summer
Photoyoga encourages the development of creative awareness and self-knowledge through photography. It helps us recognise our emotions, stories and beliefs through the photos we take. Main focus is to use photography to stimulate mindfulness and observation, not technical skills: you can take photos with whatever equipment you have.
Tuula Ahde has been running Photoyoga since 2017. It has evolved and changed since its original iteration, and The Haven Edition is the first version created in English, so it's been specially adapted for us here.
