Why Work with Me?
[QUALIFICATIONS]The information you will find on this website is a result of years of training and practice as a coach, mentor, speaker, and workshop facilitator; and continuing professional development (including certification) in life coaching, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, social and emotional intelligence, archetypes, mental health, trauma-informed practice, and somatic-based therapies, among others.

- Deliver the products / services that you purchased.
- Deliver the outcomes promised and mutually agreed on at the time of purchase.
- Respond punctually and professionally to your queries.
- Ensure that any decisions and purchases you make are with your informed consent.
- Be respectful in all communications.
What I Expect from You
In return, I expect that you will:
- Take responsibility for your own learning and outcomes, and not expect miraculous results for little or no effort.
- Use the information you learn on this website in an ethical and responsible manner.
- Respect my intellectual property and the effort and investment I have made to provide you with products and services.
- Be respectful in all communications.
Important information about how to get the most value out of working with me is set out below. If you have any questions or concerns, please email me at info@serenalow.com.au before proceeding with your purchase.
Important Information
- Coaching / therapy is not a magic pill or quick fix for your problems.
- Changes take time. Don’t expect your life to change dramatically after one session. Aim for steady consistency and allow ample time to process the new learnings.
- Progress is not linear. At different times you may experience waves of motivation and see significant progress. At other times you may feel discouraged and doubtful when you appear to be regressing. These are a normal part of the process of change and growth. Be patient, keep showing up, keep taking action, and trust the process.
- Set aside time to do the work, watch the videos, read the resources provided, and attempt the assignments. What you get out of the program depends on what you put in.
- Be prepared to feel tired or not yourself after a healing session. This is called a “healing hangover” and is common after releasing and processing major emotions. You will receive more specific instructions on what to do in the event of a healing hangover, before your first healing session.
- If you are currently taking medication and/or receiving medical treatment, it is advisable to consult your doctor so that you can make an informed decision about working with me.
- If you have experienced or are experiencing trauma, please include this information in the intake form so that I can customize my approach to avoid triggering or re-traumatizing you unintentionally.
- Do not attend a session while affected by alcohol and/or other drugs.
- I am not a medical or mental health professional, and my work does not treat or diagnose any disease or illness, and is not a substitute for mental health support. At all times, you remain fully responsible for your own physical, emotional and mental wellbeing.
- If you are taking any medication or treatments, this is not the time to stop.
- If you are working with other healthcare practitioners, it is important that you inform me and continue any treatment plans you are currently on. I am always happy to work collaboratively as part of your holistic health care team.
- My work is not a substitute for medical advice, mental health support, therapy, or counselling. If any concerns arise during our work together, I strongly recommend you seek advice from a qualified professional or support service.
- It is important to get clearance from your doctor and/or healthcare practitioner before making major changes to your lifestyle.
- If any concerns arise during our work together, I strongly recommend you seek advice from an appropriately qualified professional.
You will get the most out of working with me if you are a person who:
- Highly values learning and growth, and has previously invested in personal development programs including coaching.
- Takes responsibility for your own thoughts and behaviours.
- Proactively seeks solutions and ways to make things happen.
- Is diligent and conscientious. and keeps promises and completes tasks.
- Is receptive to ideas and perspectives that may differ from your own.
- Is respectful of others’ time, energy, and boundaries.
- Is self-motivated and self-aware (mostly).
- Is at a place in life where you have the capacity and financial means to invest in this work at this time.
You might not be a good fit to work together at this time if:
- You are not ready to take full responsibility for your own growth and behaviours.
- You are waiting for someone to rescue you, fix your problems, or give you a magic pill.
- You have fixed ideas and beliefs about how things and people should be.
- You get defensive when someone suggests that there are aspects of your behaviour that need to be addressed.
- You wait passively for things to happen, and complain when nothing changes.
- You find it hard to keep promises, complete tasks, and observe deadlines.
- You do not have the financial means or capacity to invest in your growth and development right now, and doing so will create additional strain.
- You have other pressing priorities in your life that you need to take care of first.
