Life Coaching - Ngahiriwa
I have had the absolute pleasure of having Kiri as my life coach.
Kiri gave me the courage and confidence to recreate my entire lifestyle
into a more abundant meaningful and purpose lead life.
Before coaching I was riddled with self-doubt and limiting beliefs. Through coaching I was able to work through the lack mindset and create a more abundant meaningful creative life for myself and my family.
She helped me to reach goals and aspirations I never knew existed within me.
I am happier and more abundant than ever because of this amazing woman.
After receiving my coaching over two years ago now, I will state once more to be forever ‘Life Changing’. We are now connected for life, and I can still call upon her for guidance to this day.
Highly recommend you give her a call. You will not regret!
I now lead the life I’ve always dreamed of.
Thank you Kiri from Wholehearted Action, your divine work is exactly that;
Wholehearted and in Action.

Life Coaching - Tyla
"When I joined Kiri my life was In a very dark place and I didn't know where it was going. I thought I need to put my all into this so I can better myself for me and my son. When I say this journey with Kiri saved my life its an understatement.
The way I look at life, myself and where I'm going is with such a different outlook now. The skills that she helped me with I can take with me and use for the rest of my life and pass them on to my whanau and friends

Life Coaching - Donna
"I have been working with Kiri for the last 8 months and I have to say I feel almost 90% better about my life. Kiri has guided me through some pretty deep set emotions left over from the last 50 or so years, she put my life and the things I get hung up about into perspective so now I stop and rethink and retrain all my thoughts and memories (but only the bad ones)
Kiri has given me a new lease on life by normalizing how I feel when I thought I was suffering alone. My life has been changed so much by her gentle and caring ways even when I am not calm.
I would highly recommend Kiri to anyone in need of some guidance with life's daily madness! Thank you for improving so much in my life Kiri, I will be forever grateful."

Motivational Speaking
"Kiri was the guest speaker for our biennial staff forum in March 2023. She gave a lot of very interesting and useful information about burnout. She is a warm and appealing speaker, who brings a lot of humanity to the science of her subject.
What was great was that she was very aware of and responsive to the mood of the audience. Her talk prompted some heartfelt discussions and personal stories from staff."
Life Coaching - Eve

Kiri is super supportive and understanding I feel like she is really listening to me and and wholeheartedly wants the best possible outcomes for me and my mindset. I recommend her 100%

Career Coaching - BD - Senior Leader
"I'm delighted to share about my experience of working with Kiri. The expertise and guidance she's provided have been amazing.
I was looking for confidence to communicate with senior leaders in my organisation. The first thing that felt right to me was her offer to meet before we made any formal commitment, to see if we were a fit for each other.
Her skilled, astute exploration in that very first session about what I wanted resulted in her posing a question to me that set me on a journey of change that has continued to deepen with each session. From the very start it was clear that Kiri was able to develop a plan to meet my specific needs and to be flexible to accommodate my changing needs.
Kiri has an open, unassuming manner and an ability to get to the heart of what’s getting in my way. Her consistent feedback has kept me progressing steadily. I can honestly say I’ve found the confidence I was looking for, and more."

Life Coaching - Rochelle
Because I came from quite a traumatic background myself, I had some issue coping with my new reality, my total unexpected change of reality. Kiri has really helped me to realise that I am capable and to really believe in myself.
I absolutely recommend Kiri Stockman as a coach, she is a beautiful coach to work with and anyone considering a journey with this woman, go for it! Don’t hesitate.

Life Coaching - Gerry and Lynda
Kiri is a super person to work with and a great listener who hears what you have to say and remembers.
She gives plenty of space and time for reflection and does not push you into artificial solutions.
We are a couple trying to move on out of our stuckness and she has worked with us both and individually.
We highly recommend her.

Kiri is an excellent life coach. Among her many skills, she has the ability to formulate incredibly powerful and oh-so-pertinent questions, that really help you look at challenges from different perspectives. She has a very professional yet warm aura about her and a non-judgmental attitude which immediately puts you at ease.
