Special Limited Offer for NEW CLIENTS: ‘Pay-What-You-Can Wednesdays’ For Holistic Empowerment For You, Wellness Support Mentoring, Personal IT Training and School Workshops. From YouAreYOU Holistic Coaching, Empowerment & Training Services. YouAreYOU.co
Great news from YouAreYOU.co founder Patricia Foster Mckenley!
I have a lot to celebrate in my life at the moment. Because I am feeling in such a fantastic mood, I would love to tell you about our Special, LIMITED, Offer at YouAreYOU.co. If you are based in the UK, I am offering New Clients a Pay-What-You-Can service on Wednesdays, for a limited time only. Outside of the UK, this offer is available for coaching sessions, by Zoom, FaceTime, Skype or telephone.
Now, why would I want to do this?
I pray every day and received guidance to make this decision. I believe that my services add great value for money.
For over twenty years, I have successfully transformed the lives of hundreds of clients, including generations of young people, who have gone on to excel in their chosen fields and become successful leaders.
I posses a calm, patient, intuitive coaching and teaching style, which has cultivated interactive and engaging ways for young people and women to be creative, to self express, build confidence and raise self esteem.
I am also Counselling Skills Level 2 certified, so can go deeper and combine our sessions with counselling support.
My dynamic, empathic and supportive approach to wellness, training, coaching, educating and improving lives, has empowered learners of all ages and seekers of an enhanced way of living life.
I also am aware that many of us, particularly if you are transitioning from one phase of your life to another, will not have the cash flow they desire. With this in mind, I wanted to provide the community and professional level expertise that I have and make it accessible to everyone.
For new clients, we will offer a FREE, 30 minute complimentary session, via Zoom, FaceTime, Skype or telephone, to assess your needs, before you book your ‘Pay-What-You-Can Wednesdays’ sessions. How does this sound?

Are YOU searching for love this Valentine’s weekend?
If the answer is YES and You Are on the lookout, the best place to start is within yourself.
“Learning to love yourself,
It is the greatest love of all.”

I recently discovered there is an official World Self Love Day. On checking the date closer, I realised it falls on the same day as my Birthday! How apt!
So today, as well as celebrating My Birthday with family and friends, I will cultivate love for myself. This is the greatest form of love we can have. Without this, we cannot receive the love we desire!

“Strategically working and partnering with the transitioning YOU; to transform YOU to your highest human potential.
Guiding YOU towards the place where you can confidentially unleash and reveal the True, Authentic YOU!”
~ Patricia Foster
WHY CHOOSE TRANSITIONAL AND TRANSFORMATIONAL COACHING?
For many, life can be one, long path of huge transitions, such as:
Child birth or child rearing,
Finding a new school for your child/children
Studying or exams
Transition from graduate to successfully employed
A change in job or career
Relocating yourself or family to another country or city
The journey you take after redundancy
From single, to engaged to being married
Relationship changes, separation or divorce
Major illness, injury or surgery – yourself or a loved one
Changes in your financial circumstances and all that entails
Dealing with life after bereavement
A journey of the mind; moving from limiting beliefs, to positive self talk and higher self-esteem
There may be many obstacles – mental and emotional – which also land upon this path. The transitioning process can be arduous and draining, time consuming, eroding your self esteem at the same time.
Coaching helps you explore the inner tools, actions and solutions needed to journey through your transition.
Consequently, you will unlock the ability to transform your thinking and self belief.
The Transformation process will include helping you to identify and establish your ultimate dreams, goals and desires, then Transform you towards your personal success and highest potential through your behaviours, actions and belief systems.
OUR SUPPORT FOR YOU
Our aim is to guide, amongst many, Women, Girls, Sensitive Children and Creative Entrepreneurs/Practitioners to ease your transitioning. Helping you receive clarity of thought about what your goals are; to create positive, highly effective habits and facilitate your transformation.
Coaching sessions are with individuals or groups, in person, via Skype or over the phone.
