JOE & SARA HAVE BEEN FEATURED IN...

APPEARANCES CAN BE DECEIVING

Some people call it a crossroads, an existential crisis or burnout. We believe it’s not a crisis but a calling!

We’ve heard the same story in different words from clients. They have a lucrative income, a beautiful family, and all the success their parents had wanted for them. To the outside world, they had achieved the pinnacle of success… but the story on the inside was very different.

We share that same story.

HITTING OUR BREAKING POINT

After working for years to build our business and career, we reached a level of monetary success that seemed to be the ultimate goal. However, we quickly realized that money and material possessions were not bringing us the fulfillment and happiness we had expected.

We operated for long hours, under constant stress and dysregulated emotions, chronic health issues began to appear, and our relationships suffered. We also started to encounter a barrier in our pursuit of goals, repeatedly experiencing a lack of progress. It made us question whether we had reached our full potential, as it certainly didn't feel that way.

But despite all of this, we couldn't shake the feeling that something was missing. We were successful on paper, but not fulfilled in our hearts. Was this what we had worked so hard for?

HITTING OUR BREAKING POINT

After working for years to build our business, we reached a level of monetary success that seemed to be the ultimate goal.

However, we were working long hours, under constant stress with dysregulated emotions. Chronic health issues appeared, and our time with family and relationships suffered. 

Despite all outward indications of “making it,” we couldn't shake the feeling that something was missing. We were successful on paper, but not fulfilled in our hearts. Was this what we had worked so hard for?

IN SEARCH OF ANSWERS

This led us down a path of personal discovery and self-realization.

Years of growth
Years of research, training and education
Years of accepting help from others
 Years of healing insecurities, limiting beliefs, and stories imprinted from the hustle culture.

All so we could develop into better versions of ourselves, for ourselves, and then for others.

Laurie

Online Coach, Physical Therapist & Mama of 2
Ottawa, Ontario

Over the past 7 months I have stopped all the "busy work", reconnected with myself, and realigned my business to reflect the values I want to create for MY life.

I have so much more energy and I feel at peace (no more running on the hamster wheel). I am way more productive and there is an ease and flow to my days now that I have never experienced. 

Sarah

Local Small Business Owner
Guelph, Ontario

It takes a special coach to be able to truly adapt and be personalized rather than just cookie-cutting programs and pushing specific ideologies.

Neüma has really helped me grow personally over the last 2 years shifting limiting beliefs which I have found really transformative in my day-to-day. I feel a lot more at ease with making decisions, being confident in my abilities, and maneuvering through challenging times.

A FRAMEWORK FOR SUCCESS

We discovered the power of mindset, regulated emotions and physical well-being and how they shape every aspect of our lives. This trifecta determines your level of success, happiness, and fulfillment. What’s more, they can be changed and improved upon.

We also learned the significance of setting clear goals that aligned with our values and creating a plan of action to achieve them. Without a roadmap, it's easy to get lost in the chaos of daily life and lose sight of our purpose.

Perhaps most importantly, we learned to embody our values while balancing all areas of life, including business/career, health, and relationships.

This transformational journey inspired us to create neüma - mindset and life performance coaching, dedicated to helping others break through their own barriers and achieve true, holistic success and fulfillment in life.

NOW IT'S YOUR TURN

We firmly believe that each person possesses the innate ability to unlock their true potential. Our mission at neüma is to help you discover and harness that potential, providing you with the tools and guidance needed to reach new levels of success in all areas of your life.

Whether it's setting and achieving goals, improving your confidence, finding balance, overcoming fears, managing stress, or improving the relationships in your life, we are here to show you the path and support you every step of the way.
