"Having returned to the UK after three years in New York due to a bereavement, I came to Camilla with a very fixed goal of getting another director-level job in London. In our very first session, she had the wisdom and tenacity to challenge me about what I really wanted both professionally and beyond. Eight months on, I am excited to be launching my own coaching business parallel to completing certified professional coach training.


Camilla gives me the space and encouragement to understand and nurture my values and "dream big" as well as the practical tools, business development frameworks, and reality checks to ensure my business is both a success in transforming people's lives and in financial terms.


I really appreciate Camilla's expertise in money management, her strength in holding me to account, and her no-nonsense attitude when sharing her own professional experiences, both the successes and challenges.


In large part thanks to Camilla's coaching I am in a confident, happy place both professionally and personally. I highly recommend Camilla."

Gemma Norwell

Director, Elite Sporting Concepts

"Camilla is an outstanding coach. What impresses me the most is the way she walks the talk and is able to translate ideas and concepts from her own personal experiences. She takes the time to understand my needs (both personal and business) to provide a holistic approach to our business coaching. She would be a valuable coach to anyone who is looking to discover and share their passion!


I know when I first started with Camilla I had no idea how my own identity was supposed to emerge. I had two young children, my father passed away and I was dealing with a divorce. Deep down I knew it was about a legacy to pass on to my girls that represented courage, grace and self-belief in the face of what society was saying otherwise. I took a leap of faith and decided to become my own boss and live life on my terms. Camilla helped me create a business from scratch, to balance price with value, create expandable products and systems and understand and deliver my client’s needs. My business is now sustainable and automatable with room for expansion and longevity. I am now emotionally, spiritually and financially able to pass on this legacy to others and to enjoy the sense of calm and peace that I had been looking for. All thanks to Camilla."

"Whilst attending Camilla's “GPS To Business Success” workshop in London earlier this year, my instincts told me that I needed to work with her on some level. Her professionalism, and generosity of spirit during that workshop came across immediately. She shared and imparted a mass of crucial business acumen and knowledge.


At that time my own business was in shambles. I was earning a pittance and barely surviving financially. Crippling self-sabotage and limiting beliefs were my constant companions. I severely lacked self-confidence and I felt that I had no drive whatsoever nor did I have a clear direction to focus on.


Shortly after the workshop, I signed up to work with Camilla. Within three short months of sampling her unique blend of 'tough love' coaching, we stabilized my business, expanded my client base considerably and brought in thirty per cent more income. I'm fully confident that there is much more to come.


With her unique blend of skills both as a Business Coach and a Life coach, Camilla allows me to challenge my self-limiting beliefs, which is key in expanding and facilitating my self-awareness and personal growth. The emotional stability that ensues has helped me to dramatically improve my relationships not just with significant others, but with my colleagues and clients as well.


In the early stages of my work with Camilla, I was wholly resistant to her methods. She can be quite direct and I often felt overwhelmed with new information, tasks to complete, and homework to finish! Despite my resistance, I felt then as I do now, that she always has my best interests at heart, and that holding me firmly to account is one of the methods she employs to get results.


As we move forward with our coaching journey together it is clear that she has no other agenda than to provide me with coaching and guidance to the best of her ability. Camilla delivers this continually and in spades!


It is somewhat of a cliché I know, but on my own particular life journey, Camilla came along at just the right time and I thank the universe for that. Needless to say my instincts at that workshop a few months ago have been proven right."

"Thank you so much for all your guidance, support and patience over the last few years. I am quite sure that despite my best intentions, without your coaching I would be nowhere near achieving these fantastic outcomes. What can I say other than your blood is worth bottling – you are a champ!

"I have just finished a 12-month coaching program with Camilla and wow! what a different life I am living now.

When I started with Camilla 12 months ago I was very sceptical about being coached by someone. I was a very stressed out person with my personal life, family and marriage all falling apart (I had actually moved out of home), sick all of the time due to consistent stress and my business life was running me into the ground.


Through the coaching process, Camilla helped me turn all of that around by prioritising my life and setting achievable goals.


Camilla made me ask myself “what things in my life are really important to ME”. That’s when it all clicked; I was not living the life I wanted to live. That’s definitely changed now;


Camilla has helped me to deal with my very personal and emotional feelings, my short and long-term goals, my mission in life and my business skills. Through this coaching, I now know how to be emotionally secure in myself, how to not get stressed by things and how to live life the way I want to live life.


I have re-connected very powerfully with my family, and my business doesn’t run me anymore. I run it! I actually get time out to myself where I used to think there was never enough time in a day.


I have had an extremely rewarding and worthwhile year and I have learnt that life is definitely worth living, every single second of it.


Thank you so much Camilla for helping me turn my life around and being so supportive throughout the year, you’re a legend in my life.

"I had been thinking about getting a coach for some time and when Camilla turned up I felt that it was the right time for me and that she was the right person to help me with my personal growth. Looking back now, the investment was small in comparison to what I have gained this past year.


My coaching journey with Camilla has been life-changing. I have become much more focused and clear on what I want from life and way more committed to the things I set out to achieve. I have learnt how to control my emotions and as a result, feel calmer and much less stressed with day-to-day life. I have changed my lifestyle completely, lost 25 kilos and become a much fitter and healthier person.


I would thoroughly recommend Camilla to anyone who is looking to get the results they want out of life quickly. She is tough but very fair and if like me, you need some accountability to help you reach your goals then I can’t think of a better person to help get you there. She is truly a great coach.

"My life today is very different from what it was 3 months ago thanks to the direction, guidance & support from my life coach Camilla Mendoza.

In just 3 months my life has literally been turned around. I was living my life with limitations & disempowering beliefs which held me back from realizing & being my potential.


I was able to leave a job that was unrewarding (draining my energy and resources) land which left me little to give to the areas of life that fulfilled my passion and purpose.


With Camilla!s guidance I confidently changed direction and started to create balance in all aspects of my life. I now move forward each day with clarity and direction and with my goals clearly defined.


Camilla has an amazing ability to support and encourage me to deal with the areas of my life that I found hard to face.


Camilla I will admit is a fairly hard task-master and keeps me accountable to my goals & the actions that I promise I will take. This is extremely valuable to me as now feel 100% supported making the process of change much easier to do.


Through our coaching session, I have learned much about myself and continue to make positive changes in my life which support me and help me to focus on doing, creating & being what I love.


To me this is priceless and I have Camilla to thank for getting me here.

"Camilla has been a wonderful and powerful force in my life.


She has assisted me in getting lots of clarity around my goals and ambitions in my work and has helped me sort out some major priorities in my life. I am now moving forward in leaps and bounds!


She is sharp and acute in identifying my blockages and enormously encouraging in supporting my every step to break past them. Her approach while the firm is also enormously vibrant and enthusiastic.


If you are serious about moving forward in your life, I suggest you get her on board quickly!


Krysia Hogan, Byron Bay, Qld."

"Since commencing life coaching with Camilla, over twelve months ago, the achievements and the goals that I have reached in all aspects of my life are too numerous to mention.

Because of this success I live and view life very differently, with a great deal more happiness and an unshakable belief in my ability to deal with whatever life sends my way.


A very very big part of this success has been Camilla’s fantastic ability and experience as a life coach. She has been very supportive, and honest with me, which has required me to be honest with me and has guided me to focus on the important things in my life. Her professional ability is of the very highest standard


For anyone that is considering utilizing life coaching I can only make the highest possible recommendation that working with Camilla will be the best decision you can make. There is no way that I could have made so many positive changes in my life without Camilla’s coaching.


Geoff Oliver, Nundah, Qld. Mobile: 0417 776 150"

"Camilla allowed me to explore, identify and move forward with an emotional conflict regarding my professional life. Her compassion, and interpersonal and communication skills are outstanding.


I would highly recommend her as a coach to empower you! She is all about getting RESULTS! Much love and thanks.

"At an important time of my life when I had made a decision to take action and change the way I thought about myself and take control of my life again, I was lucky enough to meet Camilla. I had so many plans and goals that I wanted to put into place but had no idea of where I should start or how I could do it for myself, Camilla immediately made me feel like I was the only person she cared about and I had all her attention. After our first meeting when I told her what was happening in my life and what I wanted from this day forward, she challenged my conscious and unconscious mind to move into new and exciting places. We started out by looking at the most important things for me and what areas we needed to work on to get a solid grounding in my life again. At the time I had had a few very difficult years and was completely deflated on all levels. Within a few weeks of our coaching, my energy levels were up and a desire to live life again seemed to be pumping through my veins again. I was setting small goals and achieving them, which was something I had not managed to do for a long time. Some weeks I found it very difficult and personally confronting to do the work that Camilla gave me to complete. Camilla seemed to know when to be gentle with me and when to make my goals a must-do! At times, when amazing and demanding things started to happen with my career, her support was invaluable to me. She was right behind me. Her knowledge and background plus the myriad of other tools she incorporates into her coaching have been invaluable. She gave me the support of 10 people! I cannot believe that it has only been four months since I have had Camilla as my life coach. When I look back at the amazing things that have happened to me, my face lights up with joy and happiness over all that I have achieved. With Camilla’s help, I have moved forward in my life to such a degree that I have started to establish the groundwork necessary to live a life that is balanced and successful. Camilla is a God send to my life and I am very blessed to have her as my life coach. If you would like to call me for a verbal recommendation please give me a call.

"I engaged Camilla Mendoza in August 1809 primarily to provide me with some business coaching and with a component of life coaching.

During that time we made tremendous progress in both aspects. My business was struggling when I engaged Camilla but within a few months of doing so, the business started showing signs of recovery culminating in 100% capacity by the end of January 2010 and it continues to this day.


As a result of our coaching, I am pleased to say that I now have more than enough work on my books.


I decided to engage a coach because I needed assistance with the business. I needed someone who understood the strategies required to grow a small consulting business. I also required someone who had huge amounts of energy required to motivate me and hold me accountable for the goals we set in place for success.


Most importantly I needed someone who was prepared to move me out of my comfort zone so that I could make the changes I needed to achieve success.


Camilla does this extremely well. We continue to work on aspects of my attitude and approach to life to build a structure in the business which will provide long-term growth to achieve less dependence on billable time.


I strongly believe the key to success in business comprises several factors including knowledge, good judgment, risk-taking, hard work etc. The underlying driver which defines how well these factors are developed is the attitude of the individual and this is something I will be focusing on this year with Camilla.


I strongly recommend Camilla as a business and life coach based on my experience working with her and the success her work has brought to my business.

"You are an amazing, encouraging, inspiring woman, filling all of us with direction, joy and dreams to achieve.


You ooze with enthusiasm, you walk your talk, and you have definitely changed, in leaps and bounds going forward.


One of the things that I have greatly appreciated about you is that when you have shared things with me, you literally can share due to experience. You give us purpose and integrity.


BIG HUGS and SMILES to you.

"Thank you very much for your time and support since our Coaching relationship began several months ago.

Wow, it feels like I have known you for years! So many amazing and positive changes, your inspiration is paramount.


You are a caring, committed and wonderful Life Coach. You have kicked my butt when needed, be a shoulder for my tears and you have pushed me to see things the way they really are. You have given me the confidence and motivation I needed to set and achieve my goals.


When the storm got rough and my ship blew off course you gave me the strength to steer it back. From now on, the sails are up, the wind is behind me and it's full speed ahead.


Lisa Oates, Avalon Beach, NSW"

"Thank you Camilla for all your honest, no-nonsense insights in helping me to discover my non-serving, self-programmed paradigm that has been restricting, frustrating and sabotaging my personal relationships, finances, growth and happiness for the past 36 years.

The AMAZING thing is that you did this in our first 2-hour breakthrough session together!


I look forward to building on this newfound knowledge and awareness so that I can create the life I have always desired, without the past emotional baggage.

"Holy smokes! Clarity, determination, and enthusiasm are just a few words that come to mind following our first coaching session and the process that’s engulfed me since. Am really looking forward to on next session on Tuesday.

"I was recently released from a 10-year contract as a Brand Director with a private company and was looking at re-positioning my career. Having worked for one employer for 10 years, the thought of entering the workplace arena again at 47 was quite daunting.

Camilla’s infectious enthusiasm coupled with her faith and confidence in the journey I was about to embark on, filled me with a sense of hope we would ‘somehow’ get there…


Over the last three months, Camilla has been there every step of the way.


She is highly professional, always punctual for our sessions and does what she says she will do. She is definitely ‘walking her talk. Not only has she helped me to gain clarity around my financial situation but her financial knowledge has helped me to save thousands of dollars on home loan interest.


Working through the powerful Life Management Units, helped me to find myself. My values and Mission Statement are now useful tools for making important life decisions.


I found our fortnightly coaching sessions such a valuable asset. To be honest, I wasn’t always ‘ready’ to talk to her each time, but her encouragement, her questioning and her intuitive sense of wisdom helped me to find the clarity I needed to take the next step.


Since working with Camilla, I now feel much more confident about who I am and my services and am laying the foundation for a healthy financial future. I will forever be grateful to her and can most certainly recommend her services which I experienced as a ‘magic wand’ to all those people who want to be the very best they can be!


Diana Kleitmans, Phillip Bay, NSW. Mobile: 0414 823 124"

"Thanks so much for my Breakthrough coaching session. It was amazing.

I have been sidestepping my business commitment for some time now using many different distractions.


You quickly understood what I was up to and by listening and guiding me gently with some excellent questions, I was able to see for myself how I was sabotaging my success. It felt like the blinkers were taken off my eyes.


As a result, I am now able to identify clearly what my priorities are and how to make the best use of my time.


Over the past 2 weeks, I have implemented some of the things you suggested and the change in my has been amazing, I have been much more productive and my business is starting to flourish again.


Thanks, Camilla, you are an awesome coach. I look forward to working with you again.


Sally Barnsdale, Clifton Hill, VIC. Mobile: 0413 298 425"

"I won a voucher for three months of coaching with Camilla at my son’s school fair.

I did not know what to expect and went into my coaching sessions hoping that I would at least get “something positive” from our time together.


This is certainly very true on a number of levels.


Camilla gently encouraged me to spend time focusing on an issue that I had absolutely no desire to face. It turned out that this issue was in fact the thing in my life that was causing me enormous stress and anxiety.


I had a ball of anger inside me that my sessions with Camilla have helped me to uncoil.


I am very grateful to Camilla for her wisdom and clarity. Thank You.


Lindy Johnson, Avalon, NSW. Mobile: 0412 182052"

"Despite being already successful in my career and family I was searching for a way to generate passive income.

Although my husband and I had many investments, we came to realize that they weren’t very passive at all and had started to look for some help.


I had always thought that ‘coaching’ was a bit of a pain and that it was something I would never consider for myself. However, whilst attending a personal development workshop I won a free session with a coach and found out that the fact that I wasn’t as successful as I wanted to be was due to something on the inside of me.


I also saw that I was running on a treadmill with my work and family and that ultimately neither was getting the best of me as I was exhausting myself by trying to be everything for everyone. These realizations were a bit hard to take at first but realized that something was going to have to give.


This led me to Camilla. From the outset, I found that she seem to know just what I was thinking and what area I needed to work on at any given point in time. Camilla and I were very well suited to work together as I can often bluff my way out of actually confronting things and she was well awake to this and did not let me get away with it!


With Camilla’s help, I have made massive changes to the way that I was dealing with my life. I reached a crisis point in my marriage and Camilla’s coaching is one of the main reasons that I was able to address what was going on. With her help, I was able to save myself and my marriage and as a result, my family life is back in balance.


I now take time for myself and I make sure that everything I do is for the right reasons and not for someone else’s.


Camilla has also helped me to break through my financial ‘glass ceiling’. As a result of the work we have done together, I have successfully made the transition from employee to the business owner. It has been a fairly arduous journey as there were a lot of hidden issues that I was completely unaware of and which have come to the surface as a result of my going into business for myself


With Camilla’s help, I have unlocked many more talents which I didn’t realize I had and feel a sense of having unlimited potential.


I would thoroughly recommend Camilla to anyone who isn’t where they would like to be either on a personal or a business level. She knows when to push and when to back off to enable you to deal effectively with your blockages. She helps me to see clearly what’s is going on and I am left feeling a sense of having achieved success each time we talk. Thank you, Camilla.


Naomi Radke, Kangaroo Ground, VIC. Mobile: 0429 426 751"

"I got to a point in my life when I realized that I wanted to achieve greater things within my business and on a personal level.

I needed to overcome personal challenges to enable myself to grow as a person and develop my expanding business. How was I going to achieve this? That is when Camilla came into my life as a life coach.


It was an enlightening experience working on all issues alongside Camilla. I was enabled to put into place my vision for my business and fine-tune my personal skills. I was encouraged to step out of my comfort zone in both personal and business areas.


For the first time in my life, I was moving forward in a direction that achieved balance in all areas.


WOW! I cannot believe who I am today and what I have achieved with my coaching program. It has given me tools and life skills that have set me up for life. Priceless!


I would readily recommend Camilla to anyone who wants to go forward in his or her life.


Suzi White Director, The White House Productions. Sydney NSW. Mobile: 0416 183 8445"

"Over the past nine months that Camilla and I have been working together, I have grown tremendously on a personal level.

In combining my roles as a partner, a mother and a Corporate business professional, not only have I learnt how to value my time more highly but have developed new skills that have enabled me to manage my time more effectively.


Camilla’s coaching has helped me to become much more skilful in identifying a person’s individual communicative style. This has helped me to work with my colleagues on a much more effective, efficient level and in a way that allows for both our needs to be met.


I would recommend Camilla to anyone who feels they need help in obtaining and maintaining a good work/life balance.


She is certainly not afraid to ask me the tough questions, nor is she afraid to keep holding me to account until I find the answers I need to move forward. I will admit that sometimes working with Camilla has been a tough ride for me. I have had to do a lot of souls searching to get to the point that I am at now and the journey has not been easy.


Having said that, I am extremely grateful for all the coaching that I have received thus far, it has been truly amazing. I know that without Camilla’s help I would never have gotten to this point.


Helen Anderson, Fugro FM Pty Ltd, Perth, WA"

"As a trained life coach myself, I have always known the value of coaching and the importance of continually working on myself, my beliefs my subconscious blockages.

Prior to starting the coaching journey with Camilla, I had been made redundant after working for 20 years in a fast-paced, highly stressful senior corporate position. Feeling somewhat ‘adrift’, I knew I needed some clarity, guidance and direction to help me move forward into a new career.


I have been committed to personal development for a number of years and as such have done a lot of deep personal work on myself. I believe that for me to work effectively with someone on a coaching level, that person needs to have at least worked to the same level that I have worked on myself.


I chose Camilla because I knew that she has done and still continues to do deep internal work on herself and as such, would be able to help me get back on track.


By asking the tough questions, Camilla has encouraged me to be really honest with myself and to search within for the answers to my problems. She has helped me to see the ‘blind spots that were severely limiting me and as a result of completely reassessing my values, I now have greater clarity on what I want for my life and my future.


I have now reset all my goals and with Camilla’s help am being kept accountable for staying on track. As a result of our coaching I have become more organized and structured and have developed a much greater level of commitment to myself – particularly in the areas of punctuality, setting boundaries and prioritizing what is important in my life and my work.


It has been wonderful for me to find in Camilla someone that I can trust to share all my troublesome issues and fears with so I don’t feel judged or belittled. To have Camilla’s unwavering support whilst dealing with issues such as the current state of my financial position and the anxiety I feel about “getting back on the ‘horse’ career-wise is priceless. I know that she has my back at all times and that she has 100% faith in me even when I do not.


I would thoroughly recommend Camilla as a coach to anyone who wants to get the most out of their life and is not afraid to do the work required to get themselves there. She is tough but firm, sticks to her guns follow through with her commitments and ensure that I do the same. With her help, I feel that my feet are once again firmly planted on the ground and that I am capable of achieving anything.


Suzanne Kambuts, Splendid Foods, Aldgate, SA"

"I will admit that I was quite sceptical about using a coach at first as I was unsure as to whether I would get substantial value for my money.

I decided to employ Camilla as my coach because I knew I needed someone who would be tough and not allow me to get away with things that I had allowed myself to get away with in the past. Camilla came highly recommended not just because she was a great coach but because she was considered to be extremely tough but fair. Boy, did I get what I asked for!


As a result of our coaching, I am now a completely different person. On a personal level, I have started to really value myself and my time and have made massive changes to my life as a result. I am now much happier within myself and in my relationship with my husband and I have become much more patient with myself and the world around me.


On a business level – what can I say? We are in the process of growing our business from $300,000 pa this year to $6,000,000 next year which is really exciting. The systems and structures that I now have in place, thanks to Camilla’s coaching and guidance have already allowed me to quadruple our turnover with very little extra work needed on my behalf. Working on the premise that a business should be scalable and automatable if it is to flourish, has been vital to the development and progress that we have attained so far.


I would recommend Camilla to anybody who wants to break out of their current paradigm and push their limits to where they should be instead of where they are at present. She is an awesome coach and I look forward to working with her for many years to come.
