About Mary Van Eker
Let’s Reach Your Goals Together
Hello, I’m thrilled to share a bit about myself. I call the Forest of Dean home, where I live on a farm surrounded by my family and our beloved pets. This quaint horsey village, complete with two pubs and a village shop, stands in stark contrast to my previous life in a vibrant city filled with constant hustle and bustle. After dedicating 25 years to a local company, I gained invaluable lessons that shaped my core values and principles. This experience, intertwined with my family life, has profoundly influenced my coaching style. I am deeply committed to fostering a sense of belonging and inclusivity in all that I do. My curiosity drives me to learn about others and their unique experiences, and I am passionate about uplifting those who feel marginalised or powerless, guiding them toward empowerment and courage. I draw from my roles as a leader, mother, friend, confidant, and coach to advocate for my clients, helping them navigate obstacles and challenges. My goal is to help you build confidence, gain insight, and achieve a fresh perspective, or simply feel lighter by sharing your thoughts with a trusted partner. I hold strong values of honesty, loyalty, independence, courage, and love, and I believe in doing what’s right for my clients. If you resonate with my approach and values, I would love to connect and explore how we can work together to achieve your goals.

Trust me, I guarantee after one session you will feel lighter, more enlightened and more energised to move forward.

That’s why I offer a compassionate, client-led approach that prioritizes your unique needs.

Whether you’re seeking immediate support for a specific challenge or looking for long-term growth, I’ll be by your side every step of the way.

My Philosophy
Harnessing Your Potential
Coaching is not about fixing you—it’s about unlocking what’s already within you. When we create space to reflect, challenge old beliefs, and reconnect with our values, something powerful happens: we begin to see ourselves differently. Coaching helps you quiet the noise of self-doubt and external expectations, so you can harness your true potential with clarity and courage. It’s not magic, but it can feel profound when you’re finally supported in a way that honours your authentic self.
