About Me Testimonials

I have been very fortunate to experience Verna’s unique approach first hand both through 1- 1’s and team events and am always inspired and empowered from her sessions. I highly recommend connecting with Verna to learn and live the innate power we can all unlock inside ourselves with Verna’s guiding principles for ultimate health and wellbeing”

Sarah Mills Founder of: The Art of Winning

The coaching experience I had with Verna was one of a kind. Verna was very professional through out our session. She was very attentive and asked very thought-provoking questions. Her approach was one of allowing me to discover the answers rather than being told.

Perlie Jade Demo

Hi Verna, good to hear from you. Saturday night I had the best sleep I have had for quite some time, got up at 10 and went back to bed for another hour. Neck and shoulder a little achy today. But better than before. See you on the 16th Regards
