“Vida is a world class speaker, trainer and coach. She is an outstanding facilitator and in fact, THE ONLY COACH I RECOMMEND”

Steve Head, Inspirational Speaker, Trainer, Coach, Author

"I love working with Vida and have used her for 1-2-1 coaching and group workshops. She always delivers results off the back of specific requirements and my team always express how brilliant they have found her sessions. Any person, team or workforce will definitely benefit from working with Vida"

Alex Head, CEO & Founder, Social Pantry

Vida ran a series of workshops, to support the wellbeing of one of our teams who have a difficult and challenging role. The programme was really well structured, moving the team through individual, relational and collective wellbeing. Vida’s adaptable approach was really appreciated, she was very open to working with us to adapt the approach for our needs, and was very responsive. Vida role models the behaviours and has a very calming presence.

Liz Webster, Learning and Development Officer, Greenpeace

"Vida has the most incredible wisdom that seems to defy her age. She matches this wisdom with a powerful and attractive energy which people find extremely engaging. I first met Vida when she was in charge of the operations of the brilliant charity Key4Life and I was struck not only by her incredible leadership and organisation skills but by her ability to empathise with at risk and ex-offenders. I once heard the phrase social ventriloquist which I subsequently understood to mean somebody like Vida who can relate to people of all types and backgrounds. She would be as at ease with the Queen as she would be talking to the most disadvantaged of young people. This comes from her combination of inner warmth and confidence."

John Vincent, CEO, LEON Restaurants

"I had a coaching session with Vida when I was finding it hard to get started on a new project. After the session I felt much clearer in my mind and it unblocked some of the obstacles that I had put in my way."

Daisy Goodwin, Writer and Television Producer

"I have really benefited from my coaching sessions with Vida. Vida is evidently an experienced practitioner and is able to utilise tools and techniques that have really helped me to overcome some long-held limiting beliefs. The result has been an improvement in not only my confidence and outlook but also my health. Vida’s underlying focus on wellbeing has been exactly what I have needed at this stage in my life and career and the time I have spent with her has been so valuable to me."

Kelly, Assistant Director, NHS

"The team and I really enjoyed our time with Vida, her session was not only informative but unbelievably useful with loads of great hacks for improving wellbeing and performance - can’t recommend her enough!"

Stuart Macdonald, CEO & Founder, Manílife

“I have had multiple coaching sessions with Vida and I am amazed at the impact it has had on me. Not just in my work but home life too. At the time, I was in a role that I was truly unhappy with and unsure of what direction I was going in, however by the end of the 1st session I was amazed at the clarity gained. Finally, I understood the route of the problems that were holding me back. The following sessions built on the tools to allow me to grow and develop within my role and I have never looked back. A truly amazing journey led by someone with so much passion for what she does.”

Tony, Operations Manager, Telefónica

“In just one session Vida helped me turn off the negative voice in my head which had always made me doubt myself. I still can’t believe it! That one session has made a massive difference in my emotional wellbeing. In next sessions she gave me very different perspectives and ways to change my blockers. I am more confident and positive about myself as a result of her coaching.”

Shinu, Volunteer, Team Up

"Vida has been instrumental in helping grow Key4Life from a small fledgling charity to a leading organisation tackling one of the most intractable problems across the UK. Her sheer passion, enthusiasm and determination has made this happen."

Eva Hamilton MBE, CEO & Founder, Key4Life

“When I started my six coaching sessions with Vida I was not sure what to expect and how this was going to benefit me. I was fairly sceptical as to whether I would benefit from the sessions. During the first session I quickly realised that this was not going to be the case and if I was willing to open up on experiences and issues I was having this could benefit me both inside and outside of work. I found Vida extremely easy to talk to and extremely helpful in multiple different circumstances. I was able to open up about certain issues I had ongoing that I have not shared with others and talk to someone who was not only listening, but helping me understand what some of these emotions meant, and how to deal with them. To me this helped hugely and I was both able to flourish at work, and also in my personal life.I could not recommend Vida and the work she does highly enough.”

Luke, Engineer, Telefónica

“I was very sceptical going into my session with Vida. However, I cannot believe what a difference only one session has made! I use the tools Vida gave me and they have proved invaluable in enabling me to avoid sugar and loose weight. I really feel I have conquered my sweet cravings and snacking. I highly recommend Vida and NLP to anyone who wants to truly change their behaviour.”

Lindsey, Oxford

“Vida’s methods of delivering wellbeing are truly unique. Her nature puts you at ease and lets you relax. Opening yourself up to new techniques allows you to be free of what's weighing you down and look at everything from a new perspective.”

Cameron Love, Team Member, LEON Restaurants

“I did not trust that NLP techniques would work and that is partly why I tried out Vida's workshop on recommendation. I am writing this review because I genuinely believe that Vida is exceptional at what she does and she managed to help me in ways I did not think I needed. She is great at facilitating workshops and also makes everyone feel at ease with themselves and others. Vida is truly doing it for all the good that it might bring, for all the right reasons and nothing else. I highly recommend her workshops even for the most skeptical of people, I promise you that the experience stays with you.”

Andrej Savcic, Head of Production, 22 Cans
