Marianna Pehrson - mindset coach
I support you by providing a safe space in which to gain clarity on what you feel is missing in your life, clear any limiting beliefs you have to achieving it and to stay inspired in mind and body BEYOND your current beliefs.
We do this through an inspiring one-on-one conversation - a process where I support you to unveil your desires, strengths & areas to focus on and together, we figure out how you show up as your best self. Whether we meet face to face or online is up to you. I’m based near Hamilton.
More about me
Why do I love coaching? Because once I experienced the person in front of me having a new realization about themselves or their abilities or their opportunities as a result of our conversation, I was hooked.
It gives me enormous pleasure to support someone through the process of finding a new path for themselves; To watch someone find their inner excitement, to watch that smile spread across their face when they realize “I’ve got this”. It’s priceless.
​
You know that saying: “Do something you love and you will never work another day in your life” – that’s how it feels. I’ve tried feeling tired before a coaching session and forgetting all about that as soon as the session starts. Complete focus.
​
Since discovering coaching is something I have a natural affinity for, albeit still plenty to learn, nothing else makes sense in the same way.
So, this is my little ode to coaching – I look forward to doing it for the rest of my life.
Testimonials
Rhonda Perry, NZ
I highly recommend Marianna as a great coach! In our 6 sessions together, she held space with genuine curiosity and an open heart, looking for the questions which were going to help unlock things for me. And this helped me uncover the core issues I was facing, when sometimes I wasn't sure myself (which is why we need a coach, right!?). This meant sessions were impactful and insightful. Marianna is empathetic and has a remarkable ability to create a safe and supportive environment. I'm so grateful for the difference she's made in my personal world and how I show up in my own business. Thankyou - this has been both fun and profoundly helpful.
Anna Von Zinner, Australia
Marianna has a wonderful, happy personality and is very kind and patient when probing for the answers we really don't want to search for.
Did you know about “shadow values”? I had no idea that we all have these. What a revelation! That was just one of the fantastic things I learned or was able to work through in my six-session program.
How do I rate the program? Well, I did have to dig deep and into the parts of me that I would just like to forget about. But, in the end, it was all worth it, and I feel like a better, more enlightened person for it.
I would recommend her coaching services very highly if you want to learn more about why and who you are.
Mindy Tan, Singapore
Marianna has been my personal life coach for the past several months, and our work together is ongoing. Thanks to her guidance, I’ve made significant progress, gained better accountability, and found clarity (which is so important) in my life, in both what I do and how I do it. She brings a deep understanding of psychology, compassion, fairness, and professionalism, and is a powerful advocate for women in particular. Marianna is excellent at listening and asking the right questions, and she’s incredibly easy to work with. I feel truly blessed to have her as my coach and thank my lucky stars that I met her. If you have a chance to work with her, don't hesitate!
Joanne R Hooker, NZ
I had a recurring issue that was bothering me and I couldn't quite figure out how to deal with it better and so I had a session with Marianna. It was not what I thought it would be! I thought I'd leave with a few phrases or better way of responding or at least feel better to have acknowledged and validated my feelings but I was so surprised that it was much more than that and was so, so helpful. If you've got something on your mind or a goal you'd like some direction or help with, I can personally recommend Marianna at The Coaching Lens to help you out. She's got a lovely calm and gentle way about her. So worth it. You’re worth it!
Bex Howells, Australia
"I was in the middle of a lot of big life changes when I started working with Marianna - divorce, moving countries, palliative care for my beloved dog. I was overwhelmed and exhausted. My mind was spinning and I felt like I wasn't in my body.
Working with Marianna helped me feel safe enough to slow down and hear my own thoughts. She was present, attentive, and asked powerful questions to help me identify patterns and themes that had been running in the background for a long time. She helped me explore my beliefs and experiences from a more nourishing perspective - to see myself more clearly.
Since working with Marianna, I feel more grounded and self-assured. I trust that I am able to build a new chapter of my life again and have the strength, courage, and wisdom to flourish. If you are looking for a coach to help you find your way back to yourself, look no further than Marianna."
Kiren Bhardwa, Australia
😉) - I wanted to say a deep heartfelt thank you and appreciation for you. You are truly amazing and in this session I felt so held, even with the elements you pointed out with my parents too and for that I am so grateful. It felt like a huge breakthrough and you truly are a masterful coach!

And feel free to use this as a testimonial on your website too!
I hope you take some time to truly look after yourself today and the rest of December so you can continue to serve in this way for others - because the world needs it!
