About me
As a proud indigenous Māori disabled woman of Aotearoa – New Zealand I bring to my coaching business a life brimming with diverse experiences and accomplishments.
My Moko Kauae is a traditional Māori lip and chin facial tattoo that represents my connections to my family/whanau, genealogical lineage/whakapapa and commitment to supporting others and community.
Born with a physical (impairment) disability, I have one arm and my palm has three fingers including scoliosis curvature of my spine. Despite this my disability does not DEFINE me.
My Philosophy on Life: The Power of Experimentation
How can you possible know what you are capable of if you never try?
Having overcome many of my own challenges and barriers I offer myself and my service as a Life Coach, Facilitator and Motivational Speaker to those truly seeking change and happiness in all aspects of life. My focus is on supporting others to achieve their dreams by drawing upon their inherent strengths abilities and achievements.
What I do
How I can help
Life’s battles don’t always go to the stronger or faster person but sooner or later the person who wins is the person who thinks they can?
Following a lifetime dream to empower others I have sought my Diploma in Holistic Life Coaching from Life Coach Associates Auckland New Zealand. I receive ongoing monthly supervision to continue improving my skills and personal growth. I am very aware that I am only able to assist others as far as I have grown myself.

- Greater self awareness
- More clarity about their future and relevant options
- Increased self confidence
- Improved relationships, both personal and professional
- Greater ability to deal with stress
- Release from repeating sabotage patterns
- More energy, purpose and enthusiasm for life
- Better communication in all areas
- A practical plan for moving forward.

Testimonials
Don’t just take my word for it, see what others are saying about me!
Dairne has been one of the facilitators whilst I have been studying for my Diploma in Holistic Life Coaching. I have found her to be extremely supportive and knowledgable, whilst also challenging me to look at my 'self' and subsequently clients, with greater depth and clarity.

Dairne has assisted me with the facilition of the Diploma in holistic life coaching course during March 2011 and September 2012. I have enjoyed working with Dairne again and find that Dairne is very authentic and a real person. This comes through when she is required to hold the space in the facilitaion and also during our debriefs with the participants. I look forward to working with Dairne in the future in some way. Thanks Dairne for being you.

I worked with Dairne as a co-facilitator on LCA's Diploma in Holistic Life Coaching course from 2008. She is an inspiration and pleasure to work with. Thank you so much Dairne for everything you bring with you.

Dairne entered my life at just the right time. She was able to help me identify problem areas that I was really struggling with and walked me through ways to cope with situations as they arose. Dairne’s coaching extended beyond the scheduled sessions showing that she is not only an amazing coach but that she truly has a huge heart. I am so grateful to have worked with Dairne. The skills that I have gained from working with her will be with me for a lifetime.

Dairne is an amazing inspiring woman who i feel priviledged to have met. She is a great speaker both in a group setting and one on one. She really connects with people and believes in people. Always warm, open and loving. I highly recommend her anyone wanting to gain personal growth and insight.

Listens well and connects well with those she talks to. Although I have not been coached by Dairne formally, in our informal conversations and have found her manner non threatening and warm. She is open to listening and sometimes this is all that is required.
Lynley
This lady is just that, such a gentle and encouraging lady. She was a facilitator at a life coaching course I was doing. I truly enjoyed her professionalism and friendship throughout the last 8 months. It was a wonderful journey to have travelled with Dairne and I will be forever grateful for knowledge & the skills that she shared with me. Thanks Dairne, It really has been a pleasure. Val.
