"Working with Heather has given us the order and structure to build our assets, in such a way that we always have a good feel for our overall financial position. She can present what seems like complex information in a way that we can easily understand and follow. Heather is clear, logical, practical and very knowledgeable — and she has very successfully applied her financial principles to her own life". P & R Anderson

She offers great solutions and different scenarios to any concerns that I have. Its also great to see my progress and the graphs and charts that she has access to really put everything into picture. I cant speak highly enough of her." C McMahon

 | "Thanks Heather for your support, guidance and understanding of our situation. You always made sessions so specific to us and were so flexible in your delivery which is a most important principal of coaching." Z Tickle

 | "It takes a lot for me to give a 5/5! The most valuable thing I receive from being coached by Heather happens outside the phone meetings – it is the consistent, fast and thorough support via email – it really is unexpected and fantastically helpful in a way which has built my financial confidence immensely. . . To the point where I am on the verge of buying a house. And 6 months ago the prospect was incredibly distant! To a large extent this is due to the advice and support I receive from Heather." H Wilson |

I felt she had genuine empathy and was flexible in her session structure in regards to my specific needs. She was prepared to allow the session to meet my personal experiences and situation. Heather is a coach in the real sense of the word. I felt very comfortable talking with her and felt that she really cared about my needs and future. I am looking forward to continuing the coaching with her." D Hughes |

| | "What I realised is there is a whole other way of doing things when it comes to money – how exciting! I’m looking forward to learning the new ‘language’. We are making progress with our ‘to do’ list. The interesting thing is that our day to day living has not suffered at all because of our new budget. Amazing how much of the pseudo deprivation one experiences actually takes place in one’s head, not in reality. Aah, human behaviour – always fascinating." A Moss
|
| | "I drove home after my initial appt with you feeling highly motivated and excited about commencing some restructuring. I could not wait to tell you and thank you for your time on Monday afternoon. You inspired me and also gave me confidence." S Savage
|
| | "You are a wonderful listener. I did feel embarrassed giving so much information out - life should not be so complicated but there are phases that just get like that. I appreciate your support." J Brien |
| |
"You are an amazing person, in all respects, and we feel very grateful that you are a part of our lives. We have never had this positive outlook about the future, and it is a wonderful feeling to have. Our level of security has just sky-rocketed since you have given us the tools to be in control of our lives." J & K Peel

"We knew we had equity and wanted to "safely" invest, but weren't sure how to go about it. Heather provided us with investment advice that has proved invaluable. Pushing no products of her own and leading by example, Heather has provided us with steady and diverse investment advice that includes a safety net for any economic climate. We cannot speak highly enough of Heather and are reaping the rewards of her incredible knowledge." T O'Keefe

"Heather is probably the primary reason why i managed to keep my house when i was on a single income. Her teachings were invaluable to me and turned my financial spending, budgeting and goals around ever since. Her tips and strategies are very user friendly and practical, and allow you to mould your habits and knowledge at your own pace. Now when we spend money, it is guilt free, as it was planned and allowed for in our budget, allowing us to truly enjoy the item or experience ithout repercussions later on down the track." C Johnes

"Thank you so much for your time today. I just wanted to drop you a quick note of appreciation. It was wonderful to see that although my finances are not great, I am not beyond help. I found your positive attitude and easy smile very encouraging. I feel very confident that we can get where we want to be and that you and the team are going to be an asset to us over the next year." T & T Vasilakis

"I thought you might like to know that I was totally amazed tonight when I sat down to do my banking/bill paying and expenditure planning for the next 2-4 weeks, and realised that I will have money IN THE ACCOUNTS to PAY ALL MY BILLS on time and NOT HAVE TO USE THE CREDIT CARD to pick up any shortfall!!!! This is the first time we have ever had money left over and I’ve got a buffer growing so that I can see that pretty soon I won’t have to stress over what to pay and how to pay it. It’s just blowing me away, and I can hardly believe it’s true!! And another small thing that might sound a bit silly, but tonight on my way home I noticed that the petrol price was down at the local servo, and I was able to take advantage of this and fill up because I had money in my ‘Living’ account to do it with!! Usually I just have to take what I can get because I haven’t had anything left over from week to week. These might sound like small things, but I can tell you they are very significant to me." M Braithwaite

| "You always go to such an effort when you e-mail us and I really enjoying receiving your e-mail messages – it gives me a ‘pick me up’ and that is the truth." J Nguyen |
| | "I love getting your e-mails – after getting on a ‘high’ from our meeting, it continues when your e-mail arrives! To see in black and white (or blue!) how we are going, makes it so much more real." C & N McLean |
| "We are so much happier and so much of that is thanks to you for getting us on the right track, with all the simple things, let alone the big things that will come in the future with investments – which I am looking forward to." P & T Patrick

| | "Hi, thank very much for your detailed report, and your services. You’ve really set us on the road to success. Simply being able to predict where we’ll be at in a few months / years has been a great motivator for us." K Wilson |
