Thank you to all my inspirational clients from around the world for their words of support and encouragement! It is an honour and a priviledge to know you.
Nicola from Adelaide, South Australia:
I found myself in a COMPLETELY different place, both physically and emotionally. This was my life, and this is the way it was unfolding, whether I liked it of not. It was NO where near where I would have imagined; it seems life had other plans for me.
I always believed that everything happened for a reason, and a positive outcome was assured, even if you didn’t see any positive in the situation at all. The one thing that I didn’t have was the faith and trust in myself to ALLOW myself to move forward, and embrace this new life.
It was then that Bobbi entered my life... through a quick phone call on a sunday morning, I said .. Bobbi - coach me! Through our sessions, Bobbi reminded me that I had the power to embrace new life in an instant, that I was in control of my life. Over time, Bobbi allowed me to see that I had this trust in myself all along. This was achieved through small homework exercises to follow through with the information I was finally beginning to understand. This included letting go of the past, forgiving people from my past, and the most important one was to forgive myself. She helped me see that the past was my experience to live through, and I should therefore claim it as my own…because just see how well I came out the other side!
Bobbi encouraged me to move into my heart space and find my knowing. This included looking at the authentic me and who I really was, and encouraging me to nourish me.
She helped me to build up the trust in myself; through this I further strengthened my trust in the universe, helping me to believe that the universe will provide for my life to all work out to my plan!
And finally, the whole time Bobbi installed a joy in me, through looking at the positive results I was already seeing, congratulating me and teaching me to congratulate myself! The surprises keep coming and really when it comes down to it I don’t want to miss out on a thing!

Lee from Tasmania:
You have amazing strength and abilities within you, you are a healer. There are two general types of healers, one is through touch and the other is through words and you are definately, beyond any doubt, a healer with your words. They are so clear, strong and compassionate. Healing is just a word for the process of change, and this is what you bring about with your coaching - internal and deep change. The amazing thing about coaching is that it is incredibly empowering, and helps the client understand their own greatness - healing indeed!!

Gary from NSW:
Thanks for this morning, I have been trying for years to see the source of my problems and it was only through your questioning that I could maintain the focus and not have my mind run away with me. In the past every time I looked I would quickly spin off into some other thoughts, no matter how hard I tried I couldn't break through to see the images that shrouded my light. This morning your questions kept me on focus, you asked the right question that brought out my response. I didn't realise how close to the surface the subconscious is until today. Just a mere question away.

Greg from Wagga Wagga, NSW:
I feel compelled to put into writing the profound affect your coaching has had on me. Bobbi, your gentle guidance and artful questioning has helped me to discover, and then to dispel, some amazing limiting beliefs that I have been carrying around with me for many, many, years. Our sessions together have helped me to discover that these beliefs were negatively influencing some very important choices I was making, especially in regard to my career.
We all hear, at some time or another that it is our unconscious mind that drives us, but it is not until we are gently, but persistently, challenged by a life coach that we truly begin to understand this. I have been a ‘blokes bloke’ all of my life, and until recently just thought that the way I am, is just the way I am, and definitely would have scoffed at the need for a coach, but now all I can say is WOW! I am astounded at the choices available to me. You have taught me to understand everything that happened in the past is just exactly that ... in the past, and that I have the ability to simply change my thinking, whenever I want things to be different for me.
It is easy to reflect on what has happened in our lives and use it as an excuse for our current situation, and I am so glad that I now know that if I want a different and better tomorrow, all I need to do is change what I do today..... and it is all thanks to you, Bobbi. You are great, and I have thoroughly enjoyed our six sessions together.... I came to look forward to our hour together every week. You have changed my life forever and I cannot possibly thank you enough... I will be singing your praises from the roof tops. You are amazing!

Amber from Canberra, ACT:
I was a young, happily married, professionally successful woman. I didn’t think that I would be the kind of person that would be diagnosed with depression.
A work colleague told me about life coaching and asked if I would give it a try. I had no idea what to expect but I was desperate and thought that I would try anything. I was a bit of a perfectionist and pushed myself to achieve in every area of my life. After my first session I felt so empowered. I had no idea that I could create so much change in my life.
At the end of my coaching I can rest and look after myself and for the first time since I can remember, I like myself. Bobbi was sincere and genuine and wasn’t scared when I cried. I would recommend this to anyone. So much so, that I have been talking to my Mum about giving it a go. Life coaching has opened up so much more in my life. I am confident and excited about my future.
If you’re not sure about it, just give it a try. You won’t regret it.

Virginia from Richmond, New South Wales:
2007 was the toughest year that I have experienced in my Life.
I am a 53 year old woman who had reached a point in my life where I had questioned what I was still doing here.
In all areas of my life I had questions that I could not answer, then one day a friend told me about a Life Coach by the name of Bobbi Price. I jumped on this as I am a believer in everything happens for a reason, & for me God was offering me the chance to get back on track and move forward.
I won’t go into details but my life was spinning out of control, so Bobbi said we would start our sessions immediately and I knew that I had to embrace this opportunity and run with it.
My first session was life changing as I realized that I had lost respect for myself & therefore could not expect anyone else to give it to me.
The sessions continued & each one made me aware that my life was changing and for me to achieve the things I wanted I had to step back & look at me from the outside.
It was time for me to change my whole life and with Bobbi getting me to look at all areas of my life, bit by bit I became empowered to start the process.
Over the coming weeks I was able to look at myself with an open mind and take on board what I needed to change & then what I wanted to change, with each session not only could Bobbi see the changes but also my family, and most importantly me.
I accepted that for me to be happy my soul had to be calm, be able to find harmony, be able to laugh again, love again but most of all respect me.
While I am writing this I realize how much I have changed and how much I owe Bobbi for seeing the light that had gone out for me.
I now respect myself, have a new job I love and I’m able to find harmony in my body and soul when I need it.
Everyone has the opportunity to change their life. I’m lucky to have had Bobbi to point me in the right direction, to listen to my concerns with an open mind & open heart but most of all to not be judgmental.
I now have the tools that I can bring up anytime anywhere, when I need to refer back to certain things I have learnt.
Life Coaching has changed my life for the better, I am so happy to be ME.
Be Happy,
Virginia

Kathy from Austin, Texas:
Each time I have worked with Bobbi I have been amazed at the results. Bobbi is motivational, innovative, sincere, and has been inspirational in assisting me in growing my business. Bobbi has a way of getting to the heart of the issue and working through it to bring an idea to fruition. I was surprised at my own excitement during and after our calls, and feel 100% empowered by the experience.

Lisa from Berkshire Park, New South Wales:
I had often seen advertisments for a Life Coach in magazines and on the radio and had given a lot of thought what that experience would be like even to the point of contemplating in doing the course. A person suggested to me that I should have a session with a Life Coach to see if this was the path I would like to take to experience it first hand and then make a decision.
An opportunity came up for me to have six Life Coaching sessions with Bobbi. I set about making an appointment to see Bobbi. I had no idea what it was going to be like or what would happen in these sessions with Bobbi, no one I knew had ever used a Life Coach. I spent the whole weekend thinking what was going to happen and I have to say I was feeling a bit apprehensive but also a sense of excitement.
Monday came and I met Bobbi for coffee, (I had not met her before) I was nervous I did not know what to expect. We started having a conversation about me and my life and where my life had taken me to where I am now, it was a very gentle conversation.
While listening to me, Bobbi would hear a word I would use to describe something and ask me more about these words/feelings that had often stopped me from doing the things I wanted to achieve in my life, now and in the future. It was amazing how words and your interpretation of them can stop you from going where you want to go.
Bobbi made me think of possibilities and how to make things happen for myself. At the end of every session with Bobbi I would always be amazed at how good I felt. I also experienced a wonderful sense of achievement. All of which was done by me, but all the while I had this amazing support from Bobbi that I did not think was possible, it was amazing. I always felt safe in our conversations and supported in the decisions I made from that.
I will continue to have Life Coaching sessions with Bobbi. For me it broadens my thinking, it helps you move on when your feeling stuck. For me it was owning the things that stopped me in the first place and moving to the possibilities of the future with the support of a Life Coach like Bobbi.
A single word can hold you in prison for it is your interpretation of it. Bobbi gave me a different perspective of a single word that had been with me since childhood and from this it will never be the same word, it holds a totally different meaning and feeling now.
Thank you for this life changing experience,
Lisa.

Angela from Hobart, Tasmania:
Every time I hear that cheerful clear voice on the end of the phone I have to smile. Bobbi is just so wonderful to talk to and completely sincere.
She makes the space a safe place to be. I can be listened to, acknowledged and understood without judgement. How wonderful is that! I have felt at ease delving into whatever detail (shocking or not!) that I believed was required at the time.
I have been so impressed with the way that Bobbi takes the conversation and gets to the root of the issue with excellent clarity, clearing away all the many confusing cobwebs.
I have got so much out of these 6 sessions and I am so thankful for this opportunity. I have noticed a wonderful transformation since our first contact and am just elated and amazed with the subjects, getting to the core of things and how much I have learnt and discovered about myself. I feel completely empowered!
Thank you Bobbi! Look forward to more sessions with you down the track.

D. Edwards from Canada:
Life Coaching,...where do I begin? That was the question that I started my sessions off with, and oddly enough, that's the question I pose to myself while trying to explain my overall experiences of my Life Coaching sessions.
It seems that I chose to carry ‘burdens’ around most of my life. Those burdens somehow had a way of finding me, and of stealing my life and joy away. Depression, fears and doubts were always close by, and were always my most familiar emotions.
Life had never been simple or even nice to me, but the past three years have been unmovable and exceedingly trying. My second marriage in 1988 bought four more additional children, to add to my already three from my previous marriage. Seven children kept my husband and I very busy, but the one thing we didn't expect was the rough and rugged road that was ahead of us. We had endured a 14 year never ending cycle of a dreadful illness of two of the children, (my second and third born: Joey and Angie) both suffered from leukemia, and both relapsed with the disease. With that, the whole family experienced unpredictability and upset. There are the harsh and intensive chemotherapy and radiation treatments, and the horrendous and life threatening side effects of the treatments, and unfortunately the much dreaded death of a child. As though that burden wasn't enough, I too, was later diagnosed with breast cancer.
I remember thinking, ‘that I needed to stay focused on the future’, with a degree of certainty that the day would eventually arrive when all of the trials would be behind us. Life would go on, improve, and we would finally get to experience some happiness as some form of normalcy was restored. I envisioned myself finally having the freedom to choose any career I wanted, and the ability to work ourselves out of poverty. My family would eventually heal from all of the trauma and we would be restored with time. The diagnosis of cancer can take so much away from you including your hopes, dreams, stability, savings and finances. So I longed for the day of being a ‘normal’ family, of being independent, moving out of our rented home, and into one that we could call our own. Until then, I would have been happy just to have a somewhat predictable life. That day couldn't arrive soon enough.
It wasn’t long before some very painful truths began to surface and unfold back into our already shattered lives, and we were thrown back into chaos and turmoil once again. My husband of 14 years (at that point) had been secretly engaging in addictions of alcohol and marijuana. Both substances are known to create psychotic episodes, and the children and I felt the horror and wrath of that as the substance abuse steadily increased. Our house wasn’t a home anymore, but a battle ground of endless arguments and fights. Everything suddenly became heightened in unpredictability again. All seemed surreal, as the most unexpected scenarios were being played out almost every day. This once, understanding, passive and compassionate man, turned into a tyrannical dictator. Anything and everything was criticized, scrutinized, twisted and fixed in his madness. During the first three years that followed the start of his addictions, my husband and I had temporarily separated on two occasions. Then in March of 2005, he left and we have been separated since.
Although we’ve been separated for three years, emotionally we couldn't completely let go of each other and neither of us has moved on in our lives. Our almost twenty year marriage has never really had a chance to be experienced as a marriage. I believe we both regretfully understand that much. We love each other, but the addictions have an iron grip on him now. I'm not willing to sacrifice or compromise the peace, health and well being of our children or myself, ever again. Addictions are insidious to human nature, but addicts are always the last to understand or acknowledge this. We will never reconcile as long as the addictions are still a part of his life. He’s decided that the addictions are his life.
I knew inside that ‘something’ had to change. Then, through a series of events, a dear friend of mine mentioned Bobbi's "Life Coaching" sessions, which were available to help people who felt trapped, just like me. People who wanted to make some good and healthy changes in their life, but just didn't have the tools to do it. So, we continue living ‘aimlessly’ without a sense of direction, blind and stuck. I prayed about having the courage to give Life Coaching a try, and I had some fairly positive feelings about having this unique opportunity. Instinctively, I knew I had nothing to lose at this point of my life. So I proceeded, and Bobbi and I had six sessions together.
This would turn out to be one of the greatest decisions I could have ever made for my life. Bobbi exceeded above and beyond all of my expectations. The sessions were not the typical psychotherapy I had anticipated, but instead she mindfully and respectfully opened the door to my ability of asking myself all of the right questions. At the completion of our sessions, I have to say that I am truly amazed at the transformation that I feel inside. I could have never predicted this wonderful turn of events. Bobbi inspired and moved me more in our six sessions, than I have ever been moved in my 52 years of life. I can honestly say that I feel a sense of release and freedom that I haven't felt since I was a very young child. My awareness has been heightened, and I feel more confident about moving forward in my life. A rebirth has taken place in my being, and there’s a refreshing assurance that I now have more tools, power, and control along with the ability to finally enjoy my life. Even my most mundane days can now be lived with the ultimate sense of gratitude and appreciation.
I highly recommend the Life Coaching sessions with Bobbi to anyone who may feel that they can't be free from old habits, or old ways of thinking. If you've been struggling to find a way to make the changes in your life that you want and need, I believe these Life Coaching sessions will be greatly beneficial to you. I truly believe, that it’ll be one of the best decisions you will ever make for yourself. You'll actually feel the newness added to your life at the end of your sessions. Life is too short not to change it!
