I'm Liz. As a certified life coach and NLP practitioner I work with people who are re-evaluating the life they've built.

Through Beyond Dark Water, I help you explore those possibilities without dismantling the life you've built.

I know what it's like to look at a life you've spent years building and realise you might want to do things differently.

I've never been particularly afraid to stop along the way and question whether I'm still heading in the right direction. Sometimes that re-evaluation has been prompted by one of life's curveballs; at other times, it has simply been a growing sense that something needs to change.

One theme has remained constant throughout my adult life: work matters to me, but so does everything outside it. Yoga has been part of my life since I was 19. Wellbeing, learning, curiosity and having time for the things that really matter to me influenced the choices I've made.

After my mother died, I took a career break to reconsider my career direction. Years later, after another curveball, I trained as a yoga teacher. Then COVID - and another rethink. This time, I began questioning not only what work I wanted to do, but how I wanted to work and how I wanted it to fit with everything else.

How much of my time did I want work to take?
What did I need to earn to support the life I wanted?
What else did I want room for?
And did the way I had always worked still make sense?

Coaching gave me the confidence to explore those questions. I left permanent employment and established my own consultancy. I didn't abandon a career I valued; I found a different way of doing it.

More recently, a late ADHD diagnosis gave me another lens through which to understand myself.

Our circumstances may be different, but perhaps some of the questions I've asked myself feel familiar to you.

Maybe you're wondering whether the yoga practice you love could become something more. Perhaps you'd like to teach, build a wellbeing business or run retreats. Maybe you already work in the wellbeing space and are wondering where to take it next.

Or perhaps you don't want a new career at all. You simply want work to occupy a different place in your life, with more room for wellbeing, creativity, connection or a more spiritual dimension. And by spiritual, I don't necessarily mean aligning your chakras doing yoga on a Himalayan mountaintop. It might simply be greater awareness, curiosity, and connection, and being conscious of how you spend your time rather than keeping the wheels turning.
