Here are some of Anna’s clients’ success stories:
Hi Anna, just to say a MASSIVE thank you for the coaching session on Saturday, it really helped me get through the mud fest that was Hell&Back on Sunday! It was physically draining from the mud and the rain so I really needed to draw on the techniques you taught me when my legs started to fail, I needed to really dig deep and push on and complete the challenge! I know if I hadn’t used the techniques it would have taken me so much longer and it would have been a lot tougher to complete the course!
I’m really looking forward to working with you this year to help me in completing the Polar Circle Marathon, I will definitely need your expertise to get me through 26.2 miles in the snow J
Cannot highly recommend Anna enough to get you through whatever sporting challenges you set yourself!
Ruth Whelan, Dublin
I had been struggling for a number of years to lose weight I gained during my 2nd pregnancy. I had tried lots of approaches but nothing seemed to work for me. I firmly believe that every problem has a solution, but sometimes you have to go and search for the solutions, which I did – and I found Anna! Words do not do her justice. Anna has changed my thought process about food, weight and diet. After just a few weeks working with Anna, I realised I was 9lb lighter, and the best bit is that I never felt hungry, and even better I enjoyed it. Within one week my energy levels had improved hugely and this has continued since I met her. Anna is an expert in her field, she is so positive and motivated herself that you can’t help but get caught up in it.
Anna’s advice about eating and food was superb. I found that by making a few changes in my diet and lifestyle I felt satisfied and all my sugar cravings went. She really understands about food and exercise. I would highly recommend Anna to anybody who is thinking of making changes to themselves or their lifestyle.
Anne Collins, Kildare
Hi Anna,
I can’t believe that four coaching sessions could pass so quickly!
I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed them and what a positive impact they have had for me. I think that your approach is extremely perceptive, helpful and in-tune with your clients, which is really valuable.
For my own part, I found the opportunity to take time out and consider how I want to determine my life, in the company of a coach who is focussed, pragmatic and open, very empowering. When I came to see you first I had an issue that I wanted to address, something that I was hesitant about, despite being very competent and confident in other aspects of my life. In a very gentle way you helped me to break that issue down into understanding that some of my beliefs were actually preventing me from going for what I want. Your approach provided me with very tangible steps and techniques to focus on doing rather than thinking. I am already enjoying the benefits on a daily basis.
I am really thankful for your input – you really have a gift!
When, the “when” happens I will let you know, and perhaps I may come back to see you sometime in 2012, just to check and re-energise on my progress.
I am really happy for you to use any of the above as a testimonial – you’ve really helped me to open my mind and for that I really am very grateful.
To your continuing success. Kind regards,”
Elizabeth Noonan, Dublin
Anna, thank you so much for all the help you gave me. Your techniques are very easy to use yet are extremely powerful.
I learned a lot from you. For the short period of time I got results that I couldn’t get for years! I’ve got my perfect weight! I am a completely new person now; I am more motivated, more energized and more organized, and I am going to continue it! I would highly recommend you to people who want to efficiently improve their life and get great results!
Irina Heath, Dublin
I cannot recommend Anna Aparicio enough. In just 60 minutes flat she has completely organised my entire business plan for 2011 and given me a shed load more free time!
Nisha Obaidullah, UK
Since I worked with Anna I was able to overcome the biggest problem I was facing which was gaining clarity around my business objectives. From working with her I have created a crystal clear plan, a targeted niche and a strategy to build a business. Within a couple of weeks of working with her I was getting more clients, making more valuable contacts and earning more money! I know a lot of coaches, and Anna is honestly one of the best I have ever worked with. Go call her now and book yourself in!
Cormac M, Meath
Seriously I think I should be a poster girl for you… I’ve been away on holidays, still sticking to my new lifestyle and am now down over 1 stone in 6 weeks but even more importantly, as you’d tell me, is that I have lost over 2 inches from my waist, another 2 from my hips and 1.5 from each arm, each thigh and each knee!! And I’ve been sail racing so much that I haven’t even done any of your miracle exercises… Starting those again this week now that I’m home again! Watch this space…
C. O’Kelly, Dublin
Just to let you know that today is the end of my “first week” of good diet and exercise (gentle due to back problems) and I can proudly tell you that I have lost 7.5lbs! I was eating well before but just couldn’t lose weight. Now I have done. As per your advice I’ve also taken all my measurements and will do so again in a couple of weeks time. Again, Anna, thanks so much for that evening seminar and all the advice…I really appreciate it!
Carol, Dublin
Just wanted to say thanks! You are really helping me!!! I was used to leading a quiet life where people weren’t noticing me and I was walking around like a “shadow” and now it feels like…..CABOOM….suddenly people want to see me!
Mark, Dublin
My new job is going great, thanks. I’ve used the techniques that you taught me to get through my “brain fog” and I’m delighted to say I’ve come through to the other side. Starting a new job is always a bit stressful but I have to say that our sessions have proved to be invaluable. I’ve had a few little wobbles along the way but then I took a moment and practiced some of the techniques as well as giving myself a good talking to! Every day is a bit of an adventure at the moment but it’s all good!
Ian M, Dublin
Deep down I knew I had the ability to get the life and career I dreamt about but a few niggling traits were holding be back; a loss of self belief, clarity, focus and above all a lack of vision of this so called life I wanted. Basically my mind was cluttered with half-hearted notions along with useless and somewhat negative thoughts. I felt I was spending my life sitting on my couch imagining all the things I should be doing instead of being pro-active and doing them. Eventually the days, months and dare I say even a year had passed and still I hadn’t come close to reaching my full potential. I knew I wanted to change, so I did some research online and found Anna!
She has given me the tools I need to make alterations in my life. As I said I knew I had the ability deep down to get the life I wanted…I just didn’t know how. She taught me how to form a clear vision of what I truly wanted and then break it down over a time-line. Prioritising is another key tool that I’ve learned and also some important interview techniques. I feel my mind has had a spring-clean, resulting in more clarity, focus and most importantly more positive thoughts. So far on my journey, I’ve accomplished many little tasks and I am now on-course to achieve the life I want.
From day one I felt at ease with Anna. By chatting and listening she worked out the right tools for me. Also we did have a few of laughs along the way!
I highly recommend Anna to anyone who feels powerless in any aspect of their lives, has poor decision making skills or lacks motivation to get want they want.
Rachel, Dublin
Before visiting Anna, I was having a lot of trouble controlling my food cravings and over-eating, a problem I’d had a for more years than I’d like to mention. I would get cravings, especially for sweets, that would turn into junk food binges that could last as long as a few days. Afterwards I’d feel terrible, both physically and emotionally, guilty for sabotaging the benefits of any healthy eating I had done prior. I wasn’t happy with my body and that brought down my confidence a lot. I needed to take some serious action to change.
I called Anna and arranged to meet as soon as I could. The consultation was great, very casual and I didn’t feel intimidated at all. Anna made it very clear that any changes would be made by me, she just showed me how to make the changes, in the way I think and the way I behave. Things started changing from that first meeting, and got better with each session after. At first, controlling the cravings was tough (but doable) but it got easier over time. I will admit, I slipped up a few times but I found it much easier to get back in control afterwards. Anna, stayed in touch with me, asking how I was doing and giving me advice on how to overcome any issues I may have had. It’s really easy talking with her.
Now, less than three months after my first session with Anna, I feel amazing. Being able to control the food I eat has made me feel in control in so many other areas of my life. I find I’m challenging myself to more things that I wouldn’t have considered before and I feel like I’m on a winning streak. I’m in great shape now and being confident with my body makes me feel confident doing everything else. I can control my cravings for junk foods but what’s more, I don’t feel guilty if I treat myself to them occasionally.
Making that phone call to Anna was a definite turning point for me and I feel I’m going to be reaping the benefits for many years to come!
Richie Kirwan, Dublin
I went to Anna because I was feeling inadequate and had lost my self confidence; she helped me through these issues and empowered me to see myself in a new and confident way. I feel better every day. Thank You Anna!
David, Wexford
Thanks Anna for helping me to identify what was wrong in my behaviour .You really hit the nail on the head! I began to believe that my life can change for the better. And thanks to the techniques that you’ve shown me I don’t have to be so negative any more.
Marek O, Dublin
When I arrived to see Anna I was nervous and not too sure if she could help me. I needed help with my confidence and self-esteem. I’ve tried counselling, psychologists and psychotherapy and even though I gained from all of these I feel NLP is practical with exercises that make sense. It gives you the tools to help yourself. Thanks Anna!
Jenny W, South Dublin
Before my first coaching session with Anna I had a few challenges in different areas of my life. In relation to improving my social skills and interacting better with people simple tips from the first session made a difference straight away. I learned techniques to make others feel good by simply been interested in them and asking how they were.
I saw positive results on my first social occasion after the coaching session simply by making the first step in my interaction with others. These tips were easy to follow and have been of great benefit.
After the second session I learned how to feel instantly confident with the use of anchors. Visualizing yourself at your confident best and getting that confident feeling at anytime you want simply by use of anchors is easy to learn and follow.
Anna has taught me to be more confident and charismatic and to be friendlier with others simply by been interested in them and making them feel better about themselves.
Anna’s relaxed manner made the coaching experience very comfortable and easy to follow.
Ciaran, Dublin
Anna is an excellent NLP coach. I was having difficulty with business meetings and public speaking, and Anna helped me to overcome my anxiety and nerves by teaching me special techniques for elaxation and nerves by teaching me special techniques for relaxation and going outside my comfort zone. As a result, I am more confident and repared within myself and see them as challenges and goals to overcome. I have no hesitation in recommending Anna.
Neil, Blackrock
I was very uncomfortable with the thought of needles, and the sight of blood etc… Anna had come highly recommended, and once I spoke to her on the phone I no longer felt silly about my concerns. After a couple of sessions, which were very easy going and sometimes funny, I now have control of my fears.
I would be very happy to recommend Anna to anyone who would like to overcome any phobias or fears.
Owen Murray, Dublin
I was one of the biggest sceptics of any sort of life coaching! As I was the person that everyone came to for help or advice, I seemed to spend all my time helping and fixing other people’s problems that inevitable I lost myself along the way. My life had finally fallen apart.
I had met Anna at fitness camp and always thought she was a very nice and strong person but also very approachable. When I finally hit rock bottom and people still were looking for something from me either to help or just to fix their lives, I finally said enough is enough, but I just didn’t know where to start. I know sounds funny coming from someone who others turn to for advice and help!
I had seen Anna’s website and read some of the testimonials and so I booked a course of four sessions.
I have to say I do not think words can do justice to how much Anna helped me. But not by telling me how or what I had done wrong, but by showing me how I had all I needed within. All I had to do was believe in myself and take care of number one.
My confidence went through the roof, and this wasn’t just a look of confidence. It was actual confidence in who I was and what I could do, and that was anything if I really wanted it!
Through Anna’s help I have now started taking care of myself ad my confidence has really improved. I have also tackled comfort eating and I now do not feel guilty for not doing everything for everyone. It is ok to take care of yourself and putting yourself first.
I cannot stress enough how much Anna has helped me and how much I recommend anyone who who is thinking of doing any coaching or whatever
you need help with, to just do it.
It will be the best thing you can ever do for you and your life. You will be surprised how much you actually get out of it. And I feel all this after only four sessions!
Andrea Hynes, Dublin
I had a terrible weakness for ‘all things nice’. On my lunch breaks I would always buy something sweet- it might ‘only’ be wine gums I would say. At lunchtime also i might try Starbucks and with my coffee two ginger nut biscuits or maybe a Skinny Muffin. And back to the office.Great.
After work: just need to get something quick for dinner – oh yes and I’d run into health food shop and buy roastedand salted nuts. Making my way through those I would proceed to Marks and Spencer- carefully choosing dinner – some fish and veg etc. Accompanied with jellies, chocolate coated nuts and more- just to get me home.
The trend was always the same:- stop for petrol + sweets go for magazine/newspaper / dry cleaning and
always large bag of sweets: jellies and at least one other thing. Weekends involved same although more tea and packets of biscuits.
So you see how I lived and this was always in secret.
Then each evening I would be at spinning classes/swimming/erobics/walking/ salsa dance and clothes tight and nothing fitting and gaining weight. How could this be –I’m exercising 6 times a week and I eat sowell- like I eat porridge, bring my own salad for lunch and healthy dinner. What about the extras? I needed help. I had just taken to Cadbury’s Raisin Clusters at this time.
So I phoned Anna – we had a brief chat and I fortunately got an
appointment with Anna. I grazed on a packet of Cadbury’s Raisin clusters on the bus trip out and that was to be my last one!
I met Anna who was so welcoming and non-judgmental. She did not say anything about my problem.
We worked together and worked hard for the session. It was a journey and it showed me it was within my reach to overcome this. It was a very interesting and unique experience and it has remained with me.
Anna showed me some amazing techniques and they have really worked.
Changes: well lunch time is different now but now I know no other way, I can go for the newspaper etc, go to Marks and other shops and NOT buy sweets etc…
It’s incredible- I don’t even have dessert anymore. It has been liberating- I feel better and look much better and never crave- that’s heaven.
Go ring or email or text Anna today.
Elaine, Dublin
I ate at least 3 to 5 bars of chocolate per day and was constantly craving sugar, I didn’t like the idea of the cravings having control over me. I felt my concentration levels were affected by this as I constantly started one job and would jump to another. I never had any obvious side effects that were evident. My skin was clear, I didn’t put on weight, however I did get sugar highs and lows, so I put off trying to give it up for a very long time.
One of my friends told me about Anna and he was worse than me for eating chocolate. He recommended Anna to me, my thoughts were if it works for him I want to give this a go!
When ever I mentioned hypnosis to my friends they, like me, had visions of a big stop watch swinging from side to side in front of my face. It was not like this at all. To be honest I found the coaching session strange at first, it was just like having a conversation with Anna, and at the back of my mind I was thinking I have no idea how this is going to work.
We went through what I wanted to get from the session and why, and an hour and half later I left her house, a little bemused, a little curious.
Its been 4 weeks now and I have eaten some chocolate (approx 2 bars in 4 weeks!) and the cravings are almost gone, I do get cravings from time to time but when I follow the steps Anna gave me they ease off. I do find my concentration levels have improved, and I have replaced chocolate with fruit, nuts and drinking more water. I definitely feel healthier now .
I still intend to treat myself from time to time but when I chose rather than when a craving decides for me.
I can highly recommend Anna, whether you have tried lots of different ways of getting of cigarettes, food etc, or whether this is a first for you I would go to Anna as your first port of call!
Kate Ryan, Dublin
Before I started life coaching with Anna, I had taken some time out of education as I couldn’t decide what I wanted to do. I would spend my time watching television or at the computer. I was really shy around people, which affected my social skills and confidence. I was also feeling lonely, confused and sad.
Life coaching has helped me in the following ways:
- I have started a course in Film Production in the New Media Technology College
- I have started a karate class twice a week
- I have made an effort to make friends by: going to a friend’s birthday party even though I hardly knew anybody, by trying to make conversation with someone even though I felt nervous, by going along to my karate club’s Christmas party and by going along on some college outings
- I am starting to become less shy around people and feeling happier
I think Anna is a brilliant life coach with a great
sense of humour who truly has her client’s best interest at heart.
Leanne Fletcher, Dublin
Through coaching Anna inspired me to really focus on my vision for my life. This has resulted in me really focusing on my dreams and turning them into reality. My life is now full of happiness, health, achievement and fulfilment.
<I strongly recommend Anna as your coach.
Marie Donovan, NLP Coach, Dublin
Brilliant! Anna is a highly skilled and very precise coach. Her use of language and humour makes it really easy for her to connect <with clients and together produce marvellous changes.
The best feedback we have is the smiles and laughter of the children we work with.
Michael Doyle, NLP Coach, Port Laoise
