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?
