What our clients say
The coaching I'm receiving from Danielle Ferris/Shapeshifters
exceeded my expectations from the get-go. By the end of my initial
complimentary coaching session I was clear about exactly what to expect from
my coach and what her expectations were regarding my participation. Danielle
is a skilled coach with a warm personality who has helped me find my own
answers with clarity and insight. If you are looking for a clearer pathway
to personal success and shaping your life, either literally or
metaphorically, I recommend taking the time to experience coaching with
Danielle and Shapeshifters.

When I began my coaching with Danielle/Shapeshifters
I had no grasp of where I would be today. The dreams I had were just little
niggles in the back of my mind and today I am living them, with some new
aspirations begging to be fulfilled.
Danielle motivated me with love and genuine understanding and advice, which
suited my personality completely and didn't scare me off.
Without Danielle/Shapeshifters' assistance these would still be just
niggles.

Danielle has been coaching me for weekly sessions for the
past 3 months. In that time she has helped me to clarify my weight loss goal
and design an action plan which is working. So far I have lost 5 kg and many
centimetres. Danielle uses her skills to enable me to find my own solutions
to challenges, keep on track and stay motivated in the pursuit of my goal. I
feel that with Danielle, I am fully supported and encouraged by someone who
is non-judgemental and understands fully the journey I am taking. Where
before I have faltered due to wavering commitment and lack of belief in my
abilities, I now fully believe I can achieve what it is I am striving for. I
feel I am getting incredible value from this coaching and after achieving my
ideal weight, I’m looking forward to working on my next goal with Danielle.

Danielle Ferris has been a fantastic guide and motivator to me for the past
few months. She has helped me to focus on my most important goals, in life
and in business, and to work towards achieving those goals.
I entered life coaching with Danielle to gain some business direction and to
stay motivated with my weight loss goals, and after having a brief stumble,
Danielle helped me to get back on track with my goals and I feel more
motivated than ever.
Our fortnightly calls help me to stay on track and I always feel so much
more motivated after a session with Danielle. Danielle is patient, helpful
and kind and I can't see myself parting with her, not for a while anyway!

“I lost 5 kilos and it has made the biggest difference in my life, my
whole frame of mind has changed.
Coaching with ShapeShifters gave me the opportunity to look at every aspect
of my life and assess how satisfied I was. I now have an action plan in
place to improve all of the areas of my life I chose to focus on.
I learnt to put me first and take time for myself and to eat well and know
there are bad days every now and then. I learnt how to set realistic goals
and create an action plan to achieve them. I learnt to be truly happy you
have to look at all areas of your life and make sure there is a balance.
The best thing was feeling successful every week when I lost weight or
centimetres and every day feeling fitter and better about the way I looked.
I found a sense of direction and having made decisions about my life means
that I now know what I want and how to get it.
The personal benefits have included weight loss, improved appearance,
improved health and making decisions about my personal life and where it is
heading.
On a professional front, I have identified that I need to create more of a
balance between my personal and professional life and I have put actions in
place to make career changes.
Danielle is a great listener and easy to talk to, has personal experience in
weight loss, offers good suggestions and some great tools to work with but
ultimately allows you to choose your own path.
Reporting to Danielle made it easier to stay focused. I really enjoyed
telephone coaching – it made it easy for me to fit into my schedule each
week and I could do it in the comfort of my own home.
Working with someone like Danielle who has been through the weight loss
experience made it easy as she could offer suggestions and tips she had used
herself.
The whole program was great – the weight loss side of it was quite flexible
in that Danielle provided me with as little or as much information as I
needed. I loved the goal setting each week and I had a real sense of
achievement when I completed everything we discussed. Even though my main
goal was to lose weight Danielle has really helped me in other areas of my
life and I now feel that I have a real sense of direction as to where I am
heading."

“I have suffered with chronic osteoarthritis for many years and I was very
unhappy, my life was in a muddle and I had no direction in life. Gentle
coaching and support from my ShapeShifters
coach inspired me to achieve goals I never
thought possible and my life has certainly changed for the better.
Coaching with ShapeShifters gave me a vision where I could take actions to
achieve my goals. my coach gently inspired and motivated me, helping me to
realise that I could achieve anything I wanted, and this has given me the
confidence to put together great action plans, which helped guide me towards
my goals of losing weight and becoming a much fitter person. I had been a
yo-yo dieter for 40 years, and never seemed to be able to sustain my magic
weight for long. Following the ShapeShifters program I have not only been
able to lose the weight, but also keep it off, and it was so easy! As for
the osteoarthritis, the pain has eased because I’m not lugging around so
much excess weight. I feel alive now, where as before I was always tired and
unhappy.
I have learned how to live stress free and more organised and even though I
live an extremely hectic life. Danielle made it so easy for me to manage my
crazy schedule and form an extremely healthy eating plan and incorporate an
exercise program into my daily schedule.
Before coaching, I was all over the place and so disorganised with my whole
life, but now I am a “power woman”. I manage to fit everything into my life
with ease, and I firmly believe that anybody would benefit from Shapeshifters amazing program.”
Cheryl Davis, Grants Officer, Kersbrook, SA

“Coaching helped me to look inside of myself to find a sincere inspiration
to change my life...to lose weight and keep it off. By identifying what was
really important to me, my values and taking the time to plan and implement
change I found the inspiration I needed to become the person I always knew I
was.
Over the course of a year I lost 48kg and am now fitter and healthier than I
have ever been. Danielle is supportive and her coaching is personal and
truly encouraged me to see the value in myself and inspired me to achieve my
goals. The many skills I learnt during my coaching sessions have become
good habits and I have since applied them to many other areas of my life.”

“I just wanted to say thank you for everything you have done for me. You
have made me see a different person that I am and can be. You have motivated
me and my goals are now going to be achieved. Thank you.”

“When things got a bit tough, my coach
reminded me of why I was working towards this new goal and it made me pick
myself back up and move forward. My coach supported me, recognised my
achievements and shared them with others, which has not only helped my
business to grow, but my confidence too. I’m excited, I’m focused and I’ve
engaged the drive I had but was worried about using.”

“It feels amazing to achieve goals that have been in the back of my mind for
a long period of time and that I have never got around to getting off the
ground. Being coached taught me how to set goals and apply strategies to
make them happen. This feels very satisfying and rewarding.
Danielle Tonkes, small business owner, Tennyson, SA

“Coaching enabled me to break down bigger goals into achievable tasks and
the skills I learnt are things I will use going forward to help me achieve
future goals.
I am relieved to have an organised approach and have confidence in being
able to achieve my goals. After coaching I feel calm, before I had my action
plan I felt I had to get everything done now, but I can now set achievable
targets.”
Rachael Turner, Director of Make Your Business Count,

“Coaching gave me a clearer focus of what my goals were and better
techniques to set goals in a positive way to move forwards. I gained
acknowledgment that I have already achieved some of my goals and that I am
well on my way to achieving my dreams and aspirations.
It was a positive experience and it resulted in me having a greater
enthusiasm for the things I want to achieve in the future. It also helped me
firm my belief that I can achieve whatever I set out to do!
After coaching with Danielle I feel happy, inspired and enthusiastic.”
Charyn Youngson, Director of Houses to Impress,

“I gained skills in putting goals into written words making it clearer for
me to understand what I need to do to achieve my goals and the skills to put
systems in place to manage ongoing problems.
Since starting the coaching program I have reduced stress levels! Having
things planned out makes me feel better about what needs to be done and I
can visualize how it is going to be done.”
Craig Nottage, Director of Craig Nottage Design & Award- winning industrial
designer, www.nottagedesign.com

Through coaching I achieved confidence,
satisfaction and a sense of relief coming from setting clear actions and
goals to work with and towards.
The coaching environment was comfortable and my coach had an ability to
create structure and work logically with the information I provided. She
allowed me to do the thinking and asked questions to prompt me to come up
with the answers, instead of providing them for me.
I have come away from coaching with direction and the feeling I have
identified and sorted out my real weaknesses that were getting in the way of
me achieving my goals.
Caroline Luke, Graphic Designer & Director, Binge Graphics

Coaching has been of great benefit to me to be able to visualise ultimately
achieving my goals, and has helped me to define what those goals might be.
Thank you to Danielle for her patience and guidance throughout the process.

“I gained greater confidence in my ability to set and achieve goals and some
very practical ways to take a dream and turn it into a plan for my future. I
have gained a better understanding of who I am and the things that are
important to me.
I developed a clearer view of my values and attitudes and a better
understanding that I was already on the right track. I gained a change in
perspective and since being coached I am more positive about my abilities
and choices. I actually feel better about myself as a person.
Inspiration, confidence, certainty, liberation from fears and inactivity are
some of the things I got from coaching. After being coached I feel more
able, more informed and more empowered.
