Ann - A Case Study

Ann and her husband were in their 50’s and they were considering their retirement plans and financial provision. Well into her menopause, Ann felt drained and was anxious about her future both at work and in her marriage. She explained to me many of the stressful circumstances she woke up to every morning and that she was ready to leave both job and husband but felt stuck because of financial insecurities.

​

Ann started my Rejuvenate Your Life coaching programme and which includes stress relief techniques.
She quickly felt more peaceful and could make sense of her problems and her underlying concerns.
In a short time, with a calmer emotional state and more stable mind-set, Ann made some clearer decisions. She set aside time to speak honestly with her husband. Using the calming techniques, Ann prepared herself in advance and with  a kind and hopeful manner, she focused on a positive outcome for both of them.

 

Ann described the experience as ‘heart-warming’ Her unhappiness was more easily remedied than she had realised. Ann had focused on the behaviours of everyone around her instead of trying to understand herself, her menopause and her own fears. 

​

Together, Ann and her husband reaffirmed their love and commitment to each other, and they took time to reassess their values and mutual goals for their life together as a close, loving couple. They both decided to relocate their home and jobs to Dorset and despite Ann’s initial negativity about their ability to achieve this, they each secured new jobs. They put their house on the market and even though, Ann doubted they would achieve a quick or smooth sale, their house was sold within three days and contracts were easily completed several weeks later. Quickly and without hesitation, they found interim rental accommodation, and started their new jobs.

 

When I spoke to Ann in a video call several months later, she was happy and feeling rejuvenated, full of energy and ideas. They were in the process of buying a permanent home in Dorset and she was feeling more excited and in love with her husband and with life, than she had been for many years, Ann was still managing any stressful situations using the relaxation techniques I had shown her, and was managing her menopausal symptoms well. She was continuing to sleep better and she had lost weight because of a more active lifestyle. 

 

I saw straight away that Ann looked younger with a beautiful broad smile and a twinkle in her eyes that I had not seen before. She spoke enthusiastically about her coaching sessions and told me that not only was she grateful for my guidance, but her husband passed on his thanks to me too.

​

Ann told me that before our call, she had thought about how she felt when she first came to me and remembered how she wanted to leave her husband and her job and how badly her life could have gone if she had not made the decision to work with me.

​

Ann emphasised to me that the tools I had given her to understand and manage her stress, were the key to the complete rejuvenation of her mindset and self belief. She said our sessions had given her the insight she needed into all the things she could do to improve her life and she now feels younger, more attractive and excited about her marriage, her new home and her job opportunities and financial wellbeing.
