Navigating Life's Journey together ...
About Me –
I’m Sandy Douglas, a dedicated life coach based at Harplyn Life Coaching, nestled in Papamoa Beach.
With qualifications in life coaching from NZIBS and a diploma in mental health, I am here to help guide you through the challenges life may bring.
I understand that sometimes life feels overwhelming or as though you’ve lost your way. Whether you’re balancing many roles or craving a more fulfilling direction, my goal is to support you in becoming the best version of yourself.
Together, we’ll identify barriers and tap into your strengths.
My sessions are easy-going and genuine, sometimes lightened with humour, because laughter is often healing.
In a relaxed space, you can feel at ease to discuss what truly matters to you—no judgement, only encouragement and advice.
Life coaching is not about fixing you but about finding the resilience and tools already within you.
If you’re ready for positive change and want to explore what’s possible, I’m here to have a conversation that could start your journey.
Let's work together towards your dreams and goals

Common questions answered
What happens in the first session?
Your first session is a relaxed, 45-minute conversation designed for us to get to know each other. We’ll talk about what’s going on in your life, what you’d like to work on, and what you hope to gain from coaching.
There’s no pressure — just a safe, supportive space where you can speak freely, feel heard, and start exploring what matters to you. It’s also a chance for you to ask questions and see if life coaching with Sandy is the right fit.
The first session is completely free and no obligation.
How much does it cost?
First 45-Minute Session Free
Your first 45-minute life coaching session with Sandy is completely free with no obligation opportunity to explore where you're at and how coaching may support you.
After that, pricing can be discussed together to ensure we find a plan that suits your needs and circumstances. The goal is to make coaching accessible, supportive, and the right fit for you.
Do I join online or in person?
I offer both online and in-person sessions. You can choose the option that best suits your needs and preferences. Online sessions are conducted via secure video conferencing and offer the convenience of meeting from anywhere with an internet connection. In-person sessions take place in a quiet and relaxed environment and provide a more personal touch.
How can you make a difference?
I’m a qualified Life Coach with a diploma from the New Zealand Institute of Business Studies, and I also hold a certificate in Mental Health. I’m passionate about helping people gain clarity, build confidence, and take meaningful steps toward the life they want.
With compassion, practical tools, and a calm, non-judgmental space, I can help make a real difference — whether you’re feeling stuck, navigating change, or simply needing support to move forward.
"The Heart of a Life Coach"
With quiet strength and open mind,
A gentle space, a place to find—
The self you lost, the dreams you shelved,
The truths once whispered to yourself.
I walk beside you, not ahead,
With steady steps and words unsaid.
Through tangled thoughts, through rising doubt,
Together, we will work it out.
Not here to fix, but here to guide,
To fan the flame you hold inside.
Each session, sacred ground we tread,
Where hopes can breathe, and fears are shed.
I don’t give answers, quick or neat,
But help you stand on your own feet.
Your story matters, voice and soul—
My mission is to help you grow whole.
For every light that finds its glow,
For every path you come to know—
This is the reason, pure and true,
Why I coach... because of you.
Sandy
