Success Stories
Client Testimonials
K Martin, Auckland
"I was looking for something life changing, and that’s certainly what Nina at Big Day Coach delivered. After a tumultuous five years that involved a divorce and court case, losing my job over COVID, my mother’s sudden death, buying and selling a business, cancer and more, it was an understatement to say I was stuck in a spiral not knowing how to move forward in a way that was right for me. Then along came Nina.
The key to her coaching is that it’s based on who you are; your life experiences, your priorities, needs and goals, how you live life every day. Her coaching is practical, tailored and relevant specifically to you. Nina has a compassion from someone who understands life and people – her coaching is not text book theory.
She delved into how and why I am who I am, that provided so many ‘light bulb’ moments.
The end result is that what you learn with Nina becomes part of your DNA. It makes sense. You own your outcomes and have control over your future.
My biggest learnings are to be kinder to myself and know how manage or deflect the triggers that send me back into fear, doubt and inertia. Nina’s coaching has changed my life – there’s a lightness and optimism that has been missing for so long.
Not one to gush, but’s there’s no one I would trust to work with more than Nina."
R. Jones, Perth
“Working with Nina has been a deeply transformative experience. She has supported me through personal and challenging aspects of my life with compassion, insight, and genuine care. Her ability to hold space, listen without judgment, and guide me through decisions has made a profound difference in my journey. I’ve felt truly seen and supported, and I’ve gained clarity and strength. Her presence and input have been invaluable, and I’m incredibly grateful for everything she’s helped me uncover and move through. “
A Oneill, Gold Coast
“Working with Nina has been nothing short of life-changing. From our very first session, I felt genuinely seen and heard-her compassion and deep empathy created a safe space where I could explore parts of myself I'd long ignored. Throughout our coaching journey, Nina's unwavering support and gentle guidance helped me navigate some of the most challenging moments of my life.
I am profoundly grateful for how she stood by me, challenged me with kindness, and celebrated every breakthrough, no matter how small. Her intuitive ability to understand what I needed, even when I couldn't articulate it, was truly transformational. Thanks to Nina, I've not only gained clarity and direction but also a renewed sense of self-worth and inner strength. If you're looking for a coach who leads with heart, wisdom, and a true commitment to your growth, Nina is the one. I feel blessed to have had her by my side on this journey.”
C.Wang, New South Wales
“I’m deeply grateful for the service Nina provided. In our session, I truly felt seen and heard—an experience that allowed me to break free from unhealthy patterns in my personal life. I also gained invaluable clarity around the legal aspects of my business, which is already helping me move toward the next level with greater confidence.
I wholeheartedly recommend Nina to anyone ready to release old cycles and step more fully into the person they’re meant to be. Thank you, Nina, for your insight, presence, and support.”
L. Lohan, Queensland
“Nina guided me through a deep state repatterning visualisation to shift emotions stuck in my subconscious that was holding me back in my life. It’s been two days & since- I have felt lighter, more free, connected and happy. I just had the most magical weekend and I’m sure it’s from my emotional shift from my session with Nina. She was so patient, compassionate and supportive. I love her gentle loving approach and feeling held in these hard emotions has really served me. Thank you so much for your time Nina- 5 star review”
L.Parker, Christchurch
“Having Nina, as my Life Coach, has been the best thing I've done, in years, to get me unstuck and moving forward. Her energy, positivity, warmth, guidance and support has been so encouraging and motivating, that I have achieved some major shifts and changes in my life, that would not have happened without her.
Life was overwhelming me and I had lost myself, but Nina is such a great listener and clear thinker, she quickly could see the order of things to help me make some plans. She was able to guide me into clarifying what I was needing to do, break things down into manageable tasks, prioritise and create some action plans. She always followed up and checked in on me too, to ensure I was going well and on course.
I am so grateful to Nina for her awesome Life Coaching skills, her loveliness and her many fresh ideas too! Thank you, so much dear Nina, you are amazing!!! “
Our Approach
Transformational Coaching Process
We believe that every client and organisation is truly unique with different goals, aspirations and areas they need support with. That’s why we create a bespoke coaching package to suit each client based on their own research-based assessments.
STEP ONE:
A free 30-minute Compatibility Conversation: We do this to get to know one another better and see if we are compatible fit for coaching. We will discuss broadly:
-
what areas you’d like to work on or are curious about
-
what you’d ultimately like to achieve and when
-
what tools and processes we use to work alongside you
-
when you’d like to start your coaching journey
STEP TWO:
Getting started: To start your coaching journey, we need to understand how you think and what your values and beliefs are.
We do this by using a number of tools including the Meta Dynamics™ Profile.
As a Meta Dynamics™ Profiler, Nina is able to access this unique evidence-based, fully objective personality and behavioural profiling tool that focuses on your thinking styles. The Meta Dynamics™ Profiling Tool is based upon the most researched and well-known normative tests ever produced- the Big Five Personality Model and also incorporates E-DISC. It provides a robust framework for understanding human behaviour and performance. Completion of a questionnaire and an unpack of the full report are part of this analysis and are included within your first block of coaching sessions.
As part of our initial evaluation process, we also undertake Values & Beliefs Elicitation exercises to identify your core values & beliefs and how they impact on the different aspects of your life.
Once this initial analysis is complete, the areas that require coaching support will become evident- allowing us to develop your personalised coaching programme. We recommend incorporating the full Meta Dynamics™ Profiling tool into your initial six sessions programme . Additional "Ultimate 6 pack "coaching blocks can be added as required based on your personal development requirements.
STEP THREE:
Implementation: Commence your personalised coaching programme based on the results from the Meta Dynamics™ Profiling Tool, Values Elicitation & Beliefs analysis tools. A bespoke programme will then be developed using a wide range of coaching tools, methodologies & frameworks.
Our "Kickstart 6 Pack" session package includes:
-
x6 sessions online (x1x90 min and x5x60min)
-
Provision of the full Meta Dynamics™ Profiling Tool (70 questions/ 280 items) with unpack (90mins)
-
Values Elicitation & Beliefs analysis (60mins)
-
x4 additional tailored sessions (60 mins)
-
Worksheets included
-
Sessions recommended fortnightly over 3 months
Optional add-ons:
-
Additional “6 Pack Coaching Blocks" can be added to your initial coaching blocks for additional targeted coaching.
-
Topic specific coaching packages are also available in conjunction with or in addition to other sessions (eg: Your Ultimate You, Real Relationships, Business By Design or Defined Leadership Packages).
-
Multi- person/ Organisation rates available.
-
Laser coaching in between sessions.
-
Retainer for ongoing Personal, Business or Leadership coaching
Session styles may incorporate a blend of sessions including: 1:1 online or face -to-face* coaching, group coaching*, Conference session facilitation*, Workshops* or retreat style incentives * .

STEP FOUR:
Evaluation: Session by session evaluation and reflection on the areas of work to keep track of progress and growth.
