Happy clients
Life changing and invaluable
“Mary is an incredibly talented coach and my time with her has been nothing short of life-changing.
Mary has honed her craft to such a level of mastery that she can easily peel apart layers of complexity around professional and personal issues like you would peel an onion. She will then draw upon the impressive range of tools in her toolkit to help you recast and reprogram the way you think and approach these issues in small, actionable ways. Her ability to give specific advice on tricky business situations is invaluable.
Often she pushed me out of my comfort zone, but each time I put her advice into practice, I learnt something new about myself and the world around me. Over time, I began to see how these small steps helped me make a huge transformative impact.
In a field that is new and groundbreaking, Mary has a treasure trove of resources and has accumulated a body of knowledge that is structured to benefit her clients. Her mix of theory and practice in her work almost guarantees that you “learn to fish” and go out there equipped with the principles to shape your life.
I cannot recommend Mary highly enough and look forward to continue working with her.”

Accelerating personal and professional growth
“Working with Mary has undoubtedly had a transformational and lasting impact on my life. Through her unique combination of supportive challenging, infectious positivity, experience and training, Mary has helped me to elevate my self-awareness, cultivate sustainable daily habits, build resilience, and expand my mind with a wealth of resources that continue to encourage me to learn and grow. I often hear Mary’s voice of optimism, reframing and encouragement at the back of my mind, and I know they will continue to travel with me throughout life’s inevitable challenges! I would certainly not be where I am today had Mary not been recommended to me, and I would not hesitate to recommend Mary to anyone that wants to accelerate their personal or professional growth.“

Her coaching has set me up for future success and I’m extremely grateful to Mary for her support and encouragement – it has been a life changing experience!”

Finding clarity in the pursuit of goals and dreams
“Mary is an amazing life and career coach. In our sessions together focusing on career and life transition, she was able to help me find clarity of direction in the pursuit of my goals and dreams. She displays high levels of empathy and understanding of the challenges we meet on our chosen path. As a Doctor of Chiropractic and really interested in human potential, I can honestly say that Mary has truly helped me find and live closer to my potential. Her never-ending positivity is highly infectious and without doubt this has helped me set short and long-term goals, achieve greater certainty in my actions, and this in turn has helped increase my momentum in business. She is extremely insightful in her ability to assess situations quickly and offer concrete tools, processes and plans of action to enable successful growth, both professionally and personally, creating meaningful change, whilst always maintaining life balance and resilience.
Mary will help you find and work to your strengths, become more appreciative of the journey you are on, and establish a greater sense of purpose. Extremely importantly, Mary is 100% trustworthy, always showing high levels of integrity.”
Dr. Tim Errington | Owner & Founder of Total Health Chiropractic | MasterLeader Client
Unimaginable success and outlook
“Sometimes you just need, a little direction, or a strategy, or just someone to talk to, or even a reset and occasionally, you know what you want but don’t know how to get there.
I have worked with Mary for many years and my direction in life would be so different without her help, my success and outlook on life is unimaginable without her.

A critical member of my support network
“I have worked with Mary for the past 3 years and over that time she has provided me with coaching to help to develop constantly keep me engaged and make each session highly productive. She is independent and strong while being a very warm and intuitive person who brings a positive mindset to all situations. She is someone I trust and is a critical member of my support network.
It really is the highlight of the day whenever I meet with Mary.”

A mind blowing journey
“Thanks to Mary and her amazing work, I have gone through a mind blowing journey of manifesting the life, courage and vision I could only have dreamt of a few months ago. Everything is working out for me. Forever thankful!.”

Transformation into a better communicator and leader
“Mary brings out the best in those she works with. Her experience and coaching in leadership and team communication is outstanding. Simply put, Mary has the ability to really understand the individual, the environment in which they operate and the natural skill-set of her clients and develop a strategy that delivers results for themselves and their organisations. If you are looking for someone to transform you into becoming a better communicator, leader, and manager, then Mary is the person to help you to excel.”
Director (Asia Pacific) | Marine and Maritime | MasterLeader Client
Transformative experience
“I have been working with Mary for over 4 years on both a corporate and individual basis. Mary assisted me in my previous role to successfully set up and manage a graduate training scheme.
My work with Mary has been transformative. The depth of the work that she and I get done goes to the heart of how I think, perceive, and act. Mary helped me to understand that leadership is not just about my job: it’s about who I am. I have learned to see myself more congruently—what I do at work, who I am at home, what leaders do.
Mary is just as open to change as she expects me to be, and if certain strategies do not fit my circumstances or personal strengths, she works with me to develop ones that do fit. Mary stays in my corner, but never tells me only what I want to hear. She always makes the effort to accommodate my ever-changing schedule. I value her insight and personal attention.”
Matt Baker | Director at Chartwell Associates | MasterLeader Client
Potent and on point coaching
“Mary is a true inspiration to me not only in my personal development but also in my career as a new business owner and entrepreneur. She guided me and motivated me with her most special techniques to find my place in terms of what I wanted to do professionally. This has now led me to become an owner of a consultancy business where the sky is the limit for me to realise my dreams. Her ideas and professional coaching are so potent and on point that I am able to apply them right away for my personal development and to build my business. I absolutely recommend Mary if you are looking to find your place and be empowered as a person, an entrepreneur, an organisation and a dynamic team. She is truly an angel sent to me to realise my purpose in life and I know she will be just as committed and patient with every individual or business she works with!”
Sulochana Uthirapathi | Founder & Owner of Transform Borders Immigration Solutions | MasterLeader Client
Help steer a strong course towards my destination
“Over many years and many exciting challenges Mary has always been fantastic at helping steer a true and strong course towards my chosen destination. She is brilliant on never taking her eye off the overall strategy. It’s true that when you keep focused on the overall goal the small stuff just falls away. Thank you Mary I am truly grateful..”
Toby Partridge | MD Partridge Hampshire BMW | MasterLeader Client
Positive, uplifting and motivating experience
“Working with Mary is always a positive, uplifting and motivating experience. Our sessions prompt me to become more confident day to day, using various valuable techniques, helping me to focus and enhance my own abilities. This allows me to push myself to that next step in my working / personal life. Thanks Mary, as always, it’s a joy to work with you”
Kris Cooper Head of Business Processes and Reporting | MasterLeader Client
Unique and refreshing sessions
“I’ve found each of our sessions to be unique and really refreshing as for me they have been a chance to stop for a mental breather, actually take stock of where I’m at and see the bigger picture both professionally and personally. It’s almost like pressing pause on a video of your life for a few minutes, being able to fast forward and rewind, observe what’s working and what’s not and take action once you press play again!”
Senior Financial Planner | MasterLeader Client
A great impact on my life
“I have been working with Mary over the last year or so and can only give very positive feedback to the great impact she has had on my life. She is a very personable, kind, intelligent person who always has a great perspective to share on any area of concern you wish to discuss. She has great experience in helping people find their value and motivation from both a professional and personal angle. I highly recommend Mary to help find clarity in all areas of your life. Thank you Mary for the great support!”

Profoundly positive
“My experience with Mary from day 1 has been profoundly positive. From the very first session, I encountered a number of “lightbulb” moments. The powerful catalyst effect on my team’s growth & results has been incredible. From both a business & a personal perspective, I strongly recommend Mary. She is worth her weight in gold!”
Tanya Dryden | Master Broker | tulumteam.com | MasterLeader Client
Helped me become more relaxed, focused and have a clearer goal-drive
“Working individually with Mary over the last few months has not only helped me become more relaxed, focused and have a clearer goal-drive, but it has also been invaluable coaching time for me, when it comes to addressing how to be more confident, embrace a lot of change and focus on the ‘now’ and ‘what matters’. I would recommend Mary to anyone in a key sales / client role, or even a senior management position that wants to be even more successful / get better results quicker and become more focused. She has been a breath of fresh air! Thank you Mary.”
Matthew Smalley | Vice President | MasterLeader Client

Lasting transformation
“Mary is one of a kind, a force for real good and lasting transformation. She is a powerhouse characterized by vast experience, knowledge, resources, tools and spiritual grounding. Mary is empathetic, intuitive, energetic, insightful, empowering. Just wonderful. Most importantly, Mary will equip you so that you are more than able to find your own answers with clarity and conviction. I highly recommend Mary, she really is the best. “

Self-awareness, resilience and empathy have grown
“I have been a fortunate recipient of Mary’s one-to-one success coaching services for the past 12 months. In that time, I can gladly say that my level of self-awareness, resilience and empathy have all shown significant growth. As a result of Mary’s coaching, I have taken the courageous step of stepping into full-time science communications and science publishing. Mary’s confidence and self-belief in my goals and the clarity she helps me bring to my thinking has been invaluable and I wish I had the opportunity of Mary’s experience and practical application of EQ many years ago when I was a PhD student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.”
CEO | Media Industry | MasterMum Client
Help navigate career transition
“I first sought Mary’s coaching assistance to help me navigate a transition in my career, after taking some time out to support my family. Mary has opened my eyes and mind in so many empowering ways, enabling me to find the right path for my future and give me the confidence and mindset to achieve my goals – and I am already reaping the benefits. Thank you Mary – you are truly a very special lady!”

Challenges my thinking
“I’ve been working with Mary for over 2 years now. When I look back and think about where I was and where I am now, I am amazed how much my life has changed. I met her when moving in Singapore, knowing very few people, facing a lot of pressure (and conflicts) at work and feeling lonely at home. I was confused, overwhelmed, tired, always running!
Since then, I’ve changed job, managed to keep a successful career in a global firm while having 2 babies and running a family of 3 kids. I’ve massively invested in self-development, identified my own limitations, re-defined my life priorities and started to see clearly my mission / my calling. I’ve raised my self-awareness exponentially and gained a lot of confidence and clarity about what I want. Overall, I feel Mary has helped me find peace and faith, including in challenging times!
Before meeting Mary, I tried to work with different coaches (executive coach, life coach, etc.). I found this space was very complex and crowded with many average professionals. After few attempts, I was not convinced someone could help me. Then I met Mary, by chance! And the whole coaching experience changed. Today, she is definitely much more than a coach to me. She deeply cares about making a difference in her clients’ life, in small and big things. She managed to always adapt to my needs in the present moment while making sure to remind me what my mid-term commitment/ my life vision/ my intention were. She raised the standards for myself, pushed me to have a bigger dream and a better life!
Her coaching style is quite unique. She does not stick to one-approach / one methodology (NLP, or positive psychology for example), she uses everything she has experienced: training from the world best coaches in this planet as well as her own human experience. I love the fact that Mary always has all sorts of tools and knowledge to share (hypnotherapy, as well as great books, podcasts, habits, contacts, etc.) and that she challenges my thinking. More importantly, I LOVE my sessions with Mary, always full of kindness and laughter.
I can only recommend working with Mary – the value of having someone with her heart and her experience to share your journey is priceless.”
Director | Accenture Consulting | MasterMum Client
Changed the direction of my life
‘It takes quite a lot to say that someone changed the direction of my life but I honestly think that Mary did just that – I am so grateful for the day that I met her. I had just had my second baby and was feeling so dissatisfied with everything . Too scared to make any changes to make my life better. Mary helped me to appreciate the good things in life and help me to feel less overwhelmed by challenges. I had had therapy in the past but that seemed to dwell on the past and that seemed to be the exact opposite of what I needed. I am now in the position of setting up my own business and feeling so much happier on a day to day basis.’

Enthusiastic and engaging
“Mary has been working with AAM Advisory and many of my colleagues for several years. She conducts motivational and leadership coaching for AAM. She is well regarded by many in AAM and a lot of my colleagues seek her advice for issues they faced. Mary is enthusiastic and engaging in her sessions and she is very knowledgeable in her area of expertise. I will highly recommend her services to any organization that needs it.”
Eryk Lee | CEO | MasterTeam Client
Valuable and inspiring coaching
“I work as a HR Business Partner for a financial services firm who have engaged the services of Mary for a number of years. These services have become more formalized over the last 12 months. She has helped me to streamline the company’s approach to learning focusing on the desire to improve performance, morale, explore human potential, attract, develop and retain staff. She is helping me to create a learning and questioning culture which drives innovation. The staff can see that the firm is committed to creating a learning culture and also invest in their ongoing professional development. As a result, they perform better – its win-win.
Mary has played an active part in the creation of our organizational development strategy. She has helped me to plan and deliver programmes which are designed to improve the overall organisational effectiveness while ensuring alignment between the business strategy and our most important asset – our people. She has developed bespoke training programmes which are designed to achieve high performance goals. She has provided one to one coaching sessions for our sales team, heads of department and executive teams which have yielded not only personal development goals but also tangible business results. She has created coaching workshops for our leaders, run strategy and feedback sessions with our staff to get not only their feedback but also their buy-in. I can’t say enough about how much value this one person has made to our firm.
On a personal level I have had one to one coaching sessions with Mary. This is the first time I’ve used a business coach. I went through a process of self-discovery and she helped me to learn how to think differently and let go of the negative behaviours which were holding me back. I come out of her coaching sessions feeling light and empowered to plan and achieve my goals. I’ve also received countless feedback from other managers and senior leaders about how valuable they find their one to one sessions. I would describe Mary’s style as inspiring. She inspires even the most cynical of employees to take ownership of their career and achieve results. She is engaging, positive, motivating, knowledgeable, passionate, professional, innovative and inspiring. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Mary.”
Sarah Lloyd | HR Business Partner | MasterTeam Client

“The section on values and beliefs was the most important piece which will help me understand what drives individuals.”
“Everyone needs time away to sharpen their skills and put things into perspective.”
“Clarity of vision and lucidity of ideas are important for a leader to be effective in their role because having a bad leader is more detrimental than having a bad team member or having no leader at all.”
“I think the most important learning aspects were about beliefs and values, particularly trying to grapple with other people’s beliefs / values (regardless of whether you agree with them or not) to help resolve conflicts.”
Collective Feedback | MasterTeam Clients
Helped leaders realise and develop their full potential
“We engaged Mary to provide both group and individual coaching to our leadership team. The personal and business benefits gained were invaluable. Mary is people focused, engaging and has a wealth of experience. She has an ability to form interpersonal connections with clients, making them feel like a friend instead of a trainer/coach. She is able to provide advice and guidance that is tailored to individual aspirations as well as team goals.
Mary is able to ask the right and probing questions to elicit deep self-reflection leading to positive change. And she manages to strike a balance between coaching, mentoring, educating and challenging which we have found effective in helping the team in their development journey.
I strongly value Mary’s partnership and her ability to help leaders realise and develop to their full potential.”
COO of Hedgefund | MasterTeam Client
Sessions are fun, engaging and tailor made
“Mary’s “Mastermind” sessions are a breath of fresh air! I was sceptical at first, having been on many group power point sessions by “experts” regurgitating slides they’d borrowed from someone else. It’s very clear Mary isn’t one of these. Her sessions are fun, engaging, and tailor made to the individual’s needs. She’s passionate about her job, and this shines through from the first moment you meet her. I would highly recommend working with Mary.”
Rob Howland | Trusted Financial Planner | MasterTeam Client
The best course I have been on in years
“This is the best course I have been on in years, it’s made me really think about my life, why I do what I do and how I can achieve my goals and dreams.”
Senior Executive | Barclays | MasterTeam Client
Added value to our organisation
“Why do I want Mary to work with us? Well I admire her enthusiasm and energy as well as her honesty, but most of all I can see the difference she makes to all our staff who attend her courses and how that add value to our organisation.”
Sharon Alimo | Organisational Development Manager | Medway Council | MasterTeam Client
My scepticism was misplaced!
“I first met Mary in early 2017 after hearing many positive comments from my colleagues. I’ve had my fair share of coaching and training in the last few years, so I was initially sceptical as to how working with Mary would be any different. My scepticism couldn’t have been more misplaced! Mary’s coaching style is inquisitive rather than prescriptive, uniquely engaging and incredibly motivational. Her passion, enthusiasm and commitment is infectious and inspirational. I leave sessions full of positivity and wait with excitement to the next! I would recommend Mary’s tailored coaching to anybody in Singapore that would like to advance their career/business or find a better balance in their lifestyle. My only regret is that I didn’t start working with Mary sooner and more often!”
