Support your personal & leadership & Career Growth - becoming unstoppable - take care of your mind - heart & soul
Through Inner Balance you always feel supported
Through
Inner Balance
Everything Becomes Possible
What if the strength you have been searching for is already within you?
Through spiritual practice, deep relaxation, meaningful coaching conversations and shared experiences, I create a space for personal growth and the kind of leadership that begins within. Because when a woman discovers that she is enough, she no longer needs the world to define her worth. She can begin to live and lead with faith, clarity, compassion and purpose.
Reconnect with yourself. Rise with intention.
Reconnet . Reset . Rise
When we change our perspective, we begin to see things so differently...
Reconnect within, and discover what's possible...
COMPASSION • COMMUNITY • COURAGE • RESILIENCE GRATITUDE • HOPE • FAITH • STRENGTH • PURPOSE
SPIRITUAL GROWTH • POSITIVE MINDSET
INNER BALANCE • SELF-BELIEF
When Yoga and Coaching along with Spiritual Wisdom (supporting women of all faith),
and real-life Experiences, come together they will inspire, uplift and support
your personal & leadership journey.
MOTIVATIONAL
LIFE COACH
Supporting Women
to Create Extraordinary Lives
I use a combination of cognitive and behavioural strategies, mindfulness,
positive psychology and spiritual reflection to help women develop a resilient mindset,
strengthen self-awareness, find their inner balance and create meaningful, lasting change.
Through spiritual wisdom, meaningful connection and purposeful action,
we can discover the strength within us and create extraordinary lives.
Introducing Nadia Shmeissem
Founder of Rise Through Coaching
Your Personal & Leadership Coach
Reconnect with your inner balance.
Discover your strength.
Rise with intention.
I support women to find their strength, create inner balance and become the leaders of their own lives.
With more than 25 years of experience as an educator, mentor and supporter of children and families, alongside my own lived experiences of challenge, change, grief, motherhood, relationships, career and personal growth, I bring both professional experience and real-life understanding to my coaching.

I believe personal growth, leadership growth and spiritual growth are deeply connected. Sometimes, growth begins when we pause, step back and look at our lives from a different perspective. When we create space to reflect, reconnect with ourselves and explore what gives us meaning, we can begin to see our challenges, choices and possibilities differently.
My own spiritual journey has taught me the value of faith, gratitude, surrender, reflection and trusting that there is something greater than ourselves. I bring these principles into my work in an inclusive way, respecting that every woman has her own beliefs, values and spiritual path.
My coaching combines meaningful conversations, practical cognitive and behavioural strategies, mindfulness, positive psychology, gratitude, breath work, yoga and inner-balance practices to support women through the different seasons and transitions of life.
I will support you to navigate the juggling act of life, relationships, family, career, leadership and your own personal growth, while helping you reconnect with the strengths and superpowers you already carry within.
Sometimes we don't need to change everything around us. We need to change our perspective, reconnect within and find a different way forward.
I will walk alongside you as you explore what is possible, build greater self-awareness, nurture your inner balance and grow into the woman and leader you are becoming.
Through Community, Compassion & Faith, you will RISE.
Becoming unstoppable...

Supporting Women to RISE, Personally and Professionally
I support women through personal growth, leadership development, life transitions and inner balance, helping them reconnect with themselves, recognise their strengths and move forward with greater clarity, confidence and intention.
My approach goes beyond simply talking about what is happening in your life. Through coaching, mentoring, meaningful conversations and practical strategies, I create space for you to reflect, understand your patterns, shift your perspective and take purposeful steps forward.
What makes my approach different is the way I bring together coaching, yoga, spiritual teachings and real-life experiences. Together, these can inspire, uplift, teach and support you as you navigate your own journey.
Yoga creates space to slow down, breathe and reconnect with your body. Coaching helps you explore your thoughts, choices and direction. Spiritual teachings offer perspective, grounding and a deeper connection to what matters. And real-life experiences remind us that growth is not about having a perfect life, but learning how to move through life's highs and lows with greater awareness, strength and inner balance.
I believe personal growth and leadership growth are deeply connected to inner balance. When you understand yourself, trust your strengths and create greater balance between your mind, heart and soul, you can approach life, work, relationships and leadership from a stronger place.
My training in neurodiversity has also deepened my understanding that we each think, process, communicate and experience the world differently. I bring this awareness into my coaching conversations, creating space to explore your individual strengths, perspectives, patterns and the ways you navigate life and work.
Whether you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, ready for change or simply know there is more within you, I will support you to reconnect, gain clarity and RISE with intention.
For Organisations
I offer tailored coaching, wellbeing and professional development experiences for women in the workplace, supporting personal growth, confidence, leadership development, connection and inner balance.
Because when women are supported to grow from within, that growth can flow into how they lead, communicate, work and show up in the world.

Coaching That Moves Beyond Conversation
My style of coaching brings positive energy, practical tools and inner balance to your growth.
This is more than simply sitting and talking. I bring together meaningful coaching conversations, Yin Yoga, breath work, sound healing, mindfulness and spiritual practices to create space for you to slow down, reconnect and grow from within.
Why Yoga?
Yoga helps us pause, breathe and reconnect with our body. Combined with coaching and the spiritual wisdom and life experiences I draw from, it becomes a powerful way to explore awareness, calm, clarity and inner balance.
You will have space to laugh, breathe, reflect, unwind and reconnect while discovering practical ways to navigate life with greater clarity, strength and intention.
My intention is simple: for you to leave feeling lighter, more grounded, connected and nourished from within.
Because growth is not only about understanding what needs to change. It is about experiencing what becomes possible when you reconnect with yourself.
Pause. Breathe. Reconnect. Rise.

When Inner Balance Matters Most

I look forward to walking on this journey with you...
Sometimes we know we want
change, but we aren't sure
what the path looks like.
COACHING THAT
MEETS YOU
WHERE YOU ARE
With over 29 years working the public and 24 of those years supporting people of different age groups through learning, growth and change, I bring much more than coaching techniques to our work together. I support women from all walks of life as they navigate Personal Growth, Motherhood-parenting (Early-Childhood-Primary School Teacher-Adult Educator), Relationships, Career, Personal/professional development, and the many transitions that life can bring.
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck or disconnected, looking for direction in your career, finding your confidence as a new educator, navigating motherhood, or wondering how to strengthen an important relationship, we create a space to pause, reflect and find your way forward. My approach combines coaching, meaningful conversation, mindfulness moments, reflection, practical tools and spiritual strength, helping you become more aware of what truly matters to you and the choices available to you. You bring your story and I bring my experience, compassion and support. Together, we explore what is possible and help you take the next step towards the life you want to create.
Because sometimes the greatest transformation begins when you finally believe that change is possible.
Becoming Unstoppable
This is my goal for you
INNER BALANCE
When your spiritual strength guides you towards places you never expected to go...
When your mind, heart and spirit become tools to help you
navigate life with greater awareness
and intention.
Shaping the way you think.
Influencing the way you live.
Creating space for you to grow.
Thinking with intention.
Living with purpose.
Growing with possibility.
Finding strength within.
Trusting the journey.
Becoming more aware of what is possible.
Coaching for women who know there is more for them, but aren't quite sure how to get there.
EVERY JOURNEY NEEDS A PATH
Growth begins with knowing where you want to go, understanding why it matters to you, and being honest about what you are willing to do to get there.
Sometimes we know we want change, but we aren't sure what the path looks like.
What do I really want?
What truly matters to me?
What are my values, and what do I want my life to stand for?....
These questions help us pause, reflect and become more aware of ourselves, our choices and the life we want to create.
You don't have to carry everything on your own.
Coaching can help you create clarity, direction and a path forward, while recognising that life is also bigger than what we can see or control. For me, that deeper connection is found through God. For others, it may look different. When you're ready, you can begin to trust the journey a little more. You still take action. You still do the work. You still make the choices. But you don't have to have every answer before taking the next step.
This is where inner balance can begin.
Through self-awareness, purposeful action, supportive coaching and spiritual strength, you can begin to move forward with greater clarity, hope and intention. Sometimes guidance comes through reflection, a conversation, a new perspective, a feeling of peace or simply finding the courage to keep going. Your understanding of faith and trust may look different from someone else's. That's okay.
You may not see the whole path yet, but you can still take the next step.
My role is not to make your decisions for you. It is to walk beside you, help you become more aware and support you as you find your own clarity, courage and inner balance.
Take the step.
Do your part.
Trust the journey.
Your path is yours to walk.
But you don't have to walk it alone.
GROW • CONNECT • RISE
WOMEN, MOTHERS & EDUCATORS
Helping Women Rise Through
Life's Transitions
Coaching, mentoring and meaningful support for mothers, educators and women ready to reconnect with themselves, grow with confidence and move forward with intention.
You don't have to navigate the journey alone.For mothers finding their way through the many changes of motherhood. For new teachers finding their confidence in the classroom. For women navigating a new chapter, feeling overwhelmed, uncertain or ready for something more.
You deserve support too.
EXPERIENCE THAT GOES BEYOND COACHING
More than 29 years of experience supporting people through learning, growth and change
When you work with me, you're not just working with a coach.
You're working with someone who has spent more than two decades supporting, educating, mentoring and encouraging people through different stages of life and learning.
My experience spans education, adult learning, mentoring and working closely with people as they navigate change, build confidence and discover their own strengths.
Today, I bring that experience into my work as a Life Coach, supporting women who are ready to grow, reconnect with themselves and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
Supporting women - mothers
Motherhood can bring incredible joy, but it can also bring change, uncertainty and a new sense of responsibility. I support mothers as they navigate their own growth alongside the demands of family life, helping them create space for themselves, reconnect with who they are and move forward with greater confidence. If you wan to take this even a step further we can work on raising children and parenting tips.
Supporting new teachers
Stepping into teaching can be exciting, rewarding and, at times, overwhelming.
As someone with extensive experience in education and mentoring-managing, I understand that becoming a teacher is about more than learning what happens in the classroom.
It's also about finding your voice, building confidence, managing expectations and discovering the kind of educator you want to become.
My role is to walk alongside you, offering encouragement, perspective and practical coaching as you grow into your role - be prepared and enjoy what you have to offer rather than feel overwhelmed due to not being well equipped with the right teacher training - behaviour management strategies- teaching strategies, where you walk into that classroom and feel like it's a walk in the park in every aspect.
Your experience matters. So does mine. Together we can achieve greater things.
You bring your own story, strengths and experiences. I bring more than 24 years of experience in education, mentoring and supporting people through growth and change. Together, we create a space where you can pause, reflect, build confidence and move forward in a way that feels right for you.
WHEN YOU BELIEVE IT'S POSSIBLE, YOU BEGIN TO SEE WHAT YOU CAN CREATE
Five renovations and one
owner-build.
And a vision that grew far beyond what my husband and I initially imagined. What started as hobbies, curiosity and a willingness to give things a go eventually became something we were incredibly proud of.
Hubby & I are half way there, we are still going to our full-time day jobs...
The funny thing is, we didn't even know we had some of these talents. We discovered them by trying. We learnt along the way, made mistakes, solved problems, adapted, kept going and allowed ourselves to grow into something we didn't know we were capable of. At times, we even had our kids on board. And that experience has stayed with me.
It reminds me that sometimes we don't discover what we're capable of by thinking about it. We discover it by giving ourselves permission to try. Our vision evolved with every renovation, every challenge and every new skill we developed.
I'd love to share that journey with you, because it is a beautiful reminder of what can happen when we stop telling ourselves “I can't” and start asking: “What if I could?” There is so much more within us than we sometimes realise. We just have to be willing to take the first step, learn along the way and allow ourselves to grow.
When you have goals in place - that becomes your focus and you just keep going...
ARE YOU STILL SEARCHING FOR SOMETHING DEEPER?
Perhaps you've tried a few different paths, explored different ways of finding peace, or simply tried to work things out on your own, but something still feels missing. Maybe you're still searching. Maybe you simply want someone to talk to. Someone who can listen without judgement and share from almost 5 decades of lived experiences, reflection and spiritual growth.
I didn't always feel completely connected to my faith until...
It was in my early twenties that I began searching more deeply. I wanted to understand my faith rather than simply follow it. I questioned, explored, reflected and slowly began to discover what it meant to me. And somewhere along that journey, I fell in love with it. I will share more details with you during our coaching sessions together.
My faith became a source of strength, guidance and connection. It became something I could return to through the different seasons of my life. It became, in many ways, the air I breathe.
That doesn't mean I have perfect days. I still have difficult days. Days when I feel low, uncertain or simply tired. But I've learnt ways to move through those moments, to reconnect with myself, draw on my faith, shift my perspective and keep going.
And these are some of the tools and strategies I would love to share with you.
Not because I have all the answers. Not because my journey is the same as yours but because I've walked my own path, experienced my own questions and discovered things along the way that have helped me find greater peace, strength and inner balance.
Your journey doesn't have to look like mine.
You may be searching for faith.
You may be questioning what you believe.
You may already have a faith but feel disconnected from it.
Or you may simply feel there is something deeper you want to explore.
Wherever you are, let's have a conversation.
No pressure. No judgement.
Just an honest conversation about faith, life, spirituality and the journey towards finding your own inner balance.

Welcome...
Protecting the sanctuary of your mind, body, heart, and inner world is one of the most important investments you can make in your life.
What if fear wasn't making your decisions anymore?
Maybe you know you want something different, but fear, overthinking and negative self-talk keep getting in the way. You know there's more for you, but you don't know how to move forward. You don't have to figure it all out alone.
Through personalised coaching, I'll help you explore the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, look at your situation from different perspectives, rebuild your motivation and start creating a clearer path forward. We'll use a range of coaching strategies, mindset tools and Neuro Absorption techniques to help you develop more empowering patterns and move towards the life you want. You don't have to wait until you feel fearless.
You can learn to move forward even when fear is present.
