About Me
Hi, I'm Bridie - your Stress Management & Clarity Coach based in Nelson, New Zealand.
How did I end up here?
At 21 I finished my studies and was so happy to land full time work.
The next 6 years were spent aiming for promotions and proving to myself and others that I was successful and doing well.
I stayed too long in a relationship where I never felt good enough, and when I got up the courage to leave it, I was left questioning who I was – without the relationship, the titles, expectations. I filled my diary with exercise classes, coffee dates, adventures and work.
So much work! Always so fucking busy and tired. I became more lost, confused and desperate to find greater clarity and purpose.
At 28 I was exhausted, overwhelmed. My body started to rebel. The more I did, the sicker I became. The pain in my gut and body became so bad.
I remember lying on the floor, crying and in agony. It took me years to link it to stress. I didn’t realised how high my stress levels had become.
I then promised to myself that I would do anything to help heal my body, and my mind. I started researching ways to shift my thinking, reduce stress, create positive habits that last, reduce feelings of unworthiness and self-judgement and learn more about myself than I ever imagined.
I reduced my teaching hours and started learning about meditation, mindfulness, energy work, NLP and CBT – and started my first business.
I applied a simple formula and achieved incredible clarity around Who I was, What I really wanted and WHY it was important to me. I discovered a purpose and passion that excited me so much more than anything I had done.
I now have clear direction, clear purpose, clear action steps and every day wake up excited for how I am living my life. I am serving incredible women with my coaching and filling my life with things I value. It just feels right. My body is healing.
My life is beautiful.
I made the change.
Do I sometimes feel my old ways of thinking trying to creep back in? Of course! But now I have a simple framework to get me back on track and aligned with what is important. These tools changed my life so immensely and they can help you too.
I have created a powerful package and partner with other women so they too can gain clarity, calm, purpose and direction.

Testimonials
"My life coaching sessions with Bridie have been incredibly valuable and eye-opening. During my very first session, she identified a few insights that were like light switches for me - really on point and changed my mindset. She helped me realise what was actually important to me and what I wanted to achieve. By session two, we had actions in place that I could easily implement daily and use to work towards my goals. Bridie herself is warm and positive. She offers insightful perspectives, and she guided me to have more lightbulb moments. I really recommend working with her to assess the areas of your life that need attention, working together to see exactly how that can be achieved!"
Dana Broekhuizen "Bridie has a great balance between listening and offering her insights. She has this warmth which makes it extremely easy to talk to her about my current situation. During my session, she challenged my thinking and got me to think outside the box whilst providing encouragement. Every question she asked was meaningful and got me a step closer to uncovering what I needed. By the end of my session, she made sure I knew what my short term goals were for the week and what I needed to do to work towards them. Looking forward to our next session!"
Casey Zhang "Bridie is a gem! She has shared her passion and love for helping others find a better version of themselves with me. I shared a lot with her, but she always remained discreet and compassionate, and found a solution at every obstacle to help me succeed. Her genuine positivity and desire to see women succeed and shift mindsets is so inspiring and "catching!"
Bridie not only listens, she has a strong attention to detail and is very thorough. Her advice and recommendations to help shift my mindset from negative to positive were bang on, and fitted my life and goals perfectly. And all of that in just 3 sessions."
Lucy Jackson "I have 2 life coaching sessions with Bridie when I was so stuck with my career as new graduate. I feel confused and self-doubt about myself, all of my confidence has left me. But thanks to Bridie, I realised the values and strengths that have in me, that I should use them to apply for my career, to find the happiness in all the things I have been doing, instead of chasing and trying to change myself for something called passion. Thank you for your help Bridie and I am so thankful to meet you."
Nhu Nguyen "Working with Bridie has literally changed my life! Her incredible energy, positivity, wisdom and guidance supported me through a tough 2019 helping me recognise that I am enough. Bridie goes above and beyond, she made the effort to understand me as a person, introducing me to a variety of support networks to enhance a more positive mindset and overall increased well being. Just talking to her lifts my spirits and allows me to see a brighter future. I feel so lucky to have Bridie as a life coach. My world and my heart is bigger because of her! Thank you Bridie ❤"
