Hi there, thanks for checking out my story, I look forward to meeting you and using my skills and knowledge to enhance your life. As my Dad often said to me as a child (after checking on me) "good, I'm pleased that you're pleased", and so I discovered that people get joy out of seeing others being happy. I want you to do well, so it is my intention for you to achieve positive results.  It will be my pleasure to guide you into FALLING IN LOVE WITH TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF - MIND, BODY & SPIRIT.   How did I get to be here and wanting you to get the most out of your life?....One of my ex-bosses referred to me as a “gypsy” (because I’ve moved around a lot), fair enough I thought. Some people may wonder why this is so, and I could answer that question with two reasons – variety (is the spice of life) and “still not finding what I’m looking for”, that being an overall sense of contentment and fulfillment. For many years I searched for what that actually means for me, (especially for work) and felt that I had hit the jackpot when my answers to a career choice questionnaire pointed to Life Coach. Omg, yes, I'm a huge fan of personal development and really do love to see people working on their goals to live their passion,  and enjoy a healthy balanced life.  It's great that I can call upon my vast life events to deeper understand you. I know from personal experience that we can have many ups and downs in life, and those downs sure do suck, so if I can help anyone avoid or limit those, then it’s a win win. And of course the ultimate is to guide you to achieving positive progress to claim as yours whatever it is that will put a big smile on your face.

ABOUT YOUR COACH - Donnelda Cochrane

A little about Donnelda (or just D) – D has old school values and is very genuine, she is caring and loves to teach what she has learned over the years. Personal development Programs/Courses include: The Dale Carnegie Course in Effective Speaking and Human Relations; Dynamics of Personal Motivation; PGI Paradigm Shift, and D follows the metaphysical beliefs associated with the Law of Attraction. D’s personal book collection consists of many personal growth topics, and is accompanied by physical health and fitness subjects, as these are highly important to her (she also has a Certificate in Nutrition and has worked as a fitness instructor).

D’s life thus far has a wealth of variety of both positive and negative experiences, which she draws upon to help people. D has lived and worked in 3 different countries – New Zealand (born there), Australia (current and adopted home) and USA (her favourite place to visit). Growing up in a small town, D was shy and lacked confidence, so after moving to the city, she decided to embark on a personal growth journey which included joining the Navy Reserves and Rotaract, both when she was a teenager. As a young adult D moved to Sydney and lived a fun life of work (doing Accounts/Bookkeeping), socialising/partying, gym junkie, avid overseas traveller, and continued with completing more self- development courses.

One of D’s biggest achievements occurred in 1997, when she made the decision to live in the US and work in an industry close to her heart (Travel). Despite what would appear a lack of experience and resources, she made it happen anyway, and still looks back to those years of creating amazing holiday experiences to the South Pacific for travelling Americans with great fondness.

Early in 2005 D returned to Australia bringing her half American daughter to start a new life back in Sydney. This chapter in D’s life was a bit of a struggle - being a working single mother who forgot to put her own needs into the daily mix wasn’t such a good idea! D experienced more dark days than bright. However 9 years later, a move to Northern NSW opened up new opportunities for regaining her life and finding positive outcomes.

In 2017 a strong yearning for a career change to an avenue that would contribute to other people awakening their potential led D to Life Coaching. It is D’s intention to assist you in discovering life enhancing possibilities, D re-learned the importance of living a healthy well balanced life and is here to teach you how to do the same.
