Lydia Pattison - BA Psych, Counselor, Certified Coach (Martha Beck Wayfinder Life Coach Training, The Life Coach School)
I've always been intrigued by two things: why we do what we do, and how to create lasting change.
What if you could finally stop the habits and thoughts that hold you back?
If you’ve been stuck in the same patterns for what feels like forever—despite your best efforts—you’re not alone.
And it’s not your fault.
Most of us were never taught how to work with our minds and emotions in a way that leads to lasting change. Instead, we rely on willpower, self-criticism, and waiting to "feel ready." But willpower doesn’t last—and shame doesn’t heal.
I understand... I was the same!
I struggled in repeating the same unhelpful patterns
And it's not like I didn't know a reasonable amount about psychology. After getting a psychology degree and counselling training, I worked in psychiatric support before moving into exploring motivation as a qualitative researcher within marketing.
I spent over 25 years of uncovering people's underlying driving motivations in literally thousands of hours in depth interviews and group discussions. My expertise was as a motivational expert, uncovering the psychological triggers to drive consumption.
What Finally Shifted Everything
It wasn’t another strategy.
It wasn’t more reading or research.
It was coaching—specifically, a method that helped me reconnect with my essential self and listen to what I already knew deep down.
When I learned how to work with my thoughts and emotions (instead of fighting them), something changed.
When I learned to tune into my body as a compass for truth, things started flowing.
When I aligned my actions with what truly mattered to me, I stopped burning out—and started building momentum.
That’s when everything shifted.
What I Believe
I work with thoughtful, intuitive people—often women in transition—who are done trying to figure it all out alone.
They’re not looking for surface-level mindset hacks.
They’re craving clarity, groundedness, and a way forward that feels like themselves.

What I Believe
- I believe your body already knows what’s true—you just need space to hear it.
- I believe there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. You already have your own.
- I believe real change comes from alignment, not effort.
- And I believe you don’t need to be “fixed.” You need to be heard, witnessed, and supported.
- Cognitive Behavioral tools to work with your thoughts and habits
- Martha Beck’s body-based practices to help you feel what’s aligned
- Buddhist-informed presence and mindfulness from 20+ years of practice and teaching
(spiritually agnostic—deeply grounded) - And a coaching style that’s warm, clear, and non-judgmental
