About Coaching: Itʼs neither counseling nor therapy.
Coaching empowers individuals to gain clarity, discover their true purpose, find their direction, achieve work-life balance, achieve success, and enhance their well-being
Coaching is a focused and nurturing journey that guides you in understanding your current life situation. It empowers you to tap into your inner wisdom to discover personalized solutions and actions.
This process will broaden your perspective and help you develop new behavioral skills, leading to meaningful and lasting change in your life.
About Nalan:
Hi, I’m Nalan. I am a mindfulness & well-being coach and facilitator with nearly a decade of experience.
I help individuals cultivate their awareness, enhance their well-being, uncover their true paths, and turn their goals and passions into tangible outcomes.
I began my professional journey as Transformational Coach back in 2016, at Coach Masters Academy in Auckland. This earned me ICF Associate Coach accreditation, and I was a professional member of ICF from 2021 to 2025.
To further enrich my understanding, I have pursued various other courses as well. This added to my ability to assist myself and others, and I remain committed to continued learning.
I’m captivated by how coaching can empower people to lead more fulfilling lives, which fuels my passion for this work.
In my sessions, I weave in mindfulness practices to deepen awareness, and incorporate well-being strategies that address all aspects of life, aiming to bring balance where needed. Transformational Coaching is specifically suited to driving change and achieving meaningful results.
Before becoming a coach, I was an expert in various other fields over the years – professional cooking, restaurant & café management, and sound engineering. While these experiences may seem quite diverse, they have all shaped who I am today.
Outside of coaching, I like to channel my creativity into different things like producing a world-music podcast called SonicRoots, (listen to it on Spotify) and writing articles, poetry, and stories. Additionally, I host plant-based & Mediterranean cooking workshops, participate in Open Floor dancing, tend to our famile’s veggie garden, and delve into baking and food preservation. And of course, I tackle the usual day-to-day tasks and challenges—no avoiding that!
By the way, I’m a Turkish New Zealander and I came to this country over 30 years ago! My name is pronounced “Nala” like the character from The Lion King, plus an extra “n” at the end. My name is a palindrome, which means it reads the same forwards and backwards – how cool is that! It loosely means the sound of reeds along rivers blowing in the wind. Perhaps it sounds like this…
