Naa believes in affirming people and works on the basis that everyone has the capacity to do well and live their best life given the right environment and tools. In her sessions she is not afraid to challenge but always does so sensitively and respectfully. Her role she says is to remind her clients that our perception of failure and how we deal with it, is what can make or break us. Naa’s purpose as a coach is to be available, open, non-judgmental and to create a safe environment for deep truthful reflections and resist the temptation to solve problems.

 For clients her mission is to encourage them to go beyond their current level of capacity and be the best that they can be, to be kind to themselves, to know that she is available to listen, to challenge and question till they come up with the solutions they can commit to and believe in. Naa has over 20 years working experience in the UK. She has held various senior managerial positions in blue chip companies such as J Sainsbury’s and Royal Mail in the UK. It was during this period she discovered her passion for supporting people to self-actualize and take responsibility for their personal and career development in the work place. Consequently, she trained and was accredited by Middlesex University as a Performance and Life Coach.

 Naa focuses on teaching her clients on how to eat balanced meals and increase their intake of vegetables, fruits and nuts. In her demonstration classes she uses her knowledge of science to simplify the facts about why what we eat is so important. Naa uses everyday affordable ingredients to demonstrate how easy it is to eat more vegetables. She believes “Wellness” is at the centre of living our best life and looking after both body and soul is of utmost importance. Her challenge to her clients is that you can’t give best to your profession or personal life when your body and soul are not functioning at their optimum.
