"I found myself in the position of being made redundant for the second time. First time was voluntary this time not, making it harder to accept. Plus now I'm on the slightly more mature side! What do I want to do? Where do I start? Who will want me? In comes Louise who I was introduced to through a work colleague. How grateful am I! Louise through the Adult Ikigai process has helped me to unlock my strengths, my passions and given me direction as to where to and what next.

"I seized a wonderful opportunity to connect with Louise and explore together what my next steps would best look like. I got that, and much more! Through the IKIGAI process, I was able to flesh out what makes my heart sing, what strengths I have to draw this out whilst being affirmed in what others see in me. Not only did I discover key pathways to pursue, but what environments, cultures and contexts enable me to thrive. Louise supports you as you ultimately become more self-aware, affirmed, empowered and confident to pursue the best version of yourself. For that I am truly grateful, and somewhat carefree, as I close the door and begin the pursuit of my heart mahi. Thank you for journeying that road with me Louise"
