Oax Life Coaching - Grantham

Chris has really helped me to get back on track with smashing life and knowing and believing in myself. Life sometimes feels like your on a hamster wheel and stuck in a rut, forgetting there's a massive world out there and you can do what YOU want to do with YOUR life to achieve YOUR goals and live YOUR true authentic self no matter what life throws at you.

Before my sessions with Chris I felt I was totally out of control of making any decisions for my own future, I wasn't growing as a person, I felt I wasn't good enough for anything or anyone, invisible, pressured and just felt quite low and hopeless in myself.

Chris has taught and reminded me of different ways of thinking, and has helped me see things logically and rationally, as I am a big over-thinker. He made me understand about the reasons behind why I feel the way that I do and how to change my behaviours. He helped me think about what I wanted to achieve in life and ways of doing that instead of feeling the way that I did.

It was my favourite part of the week to sit down with Chris and to be able to give myself some time to think and talk about me and to be listened to, instead of thinking of others before myself. I never gave myself time or even thought about me, but Chris has helped me to put myself first, but still care for others at the same time without feeling burnt out as a person and to have a balance is healthy !

Chris is very professional and friendly and full of knowledge. He is firm but respectful and honest. I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for him helping me get back onto my feet to realise my strengths and weaknesses and how I can better myself and my life by the choices I make. He doesn't make you feel silly, even though sometimes you think you are, nothing is silly or too much. Life coaching is different for everyone and everyone has their own struggles and life paths and Chris was just the best at not judging you and helping you find your best self and how just to be that!

Chris has given me the confidence and boost to get myself out there with my resin creations, and changed the way I feel and look on my future and life in a positive way. I feel more organised and have more motivation to make plans and life goals. I am learning to ignore the monkey on my shoulder and the negativity that controlled my life and the way I thought and made choices. Chris has reminded me that no matter what I want in life, I have to be arsed and to do it for myself or else things aren't going to change. Chris will always give you the time and will always be there if your struggling if he can.

I think I'm always going to need a Chris around and I wouldn't choose another Chris now! He's just the best at being a life coach. I now feel full of ambition, I'm much more motivated, I'm satisfied with life, I feel more accepted as a person, I have so much more to look forward to, and I feel like I'm achieving and growing as a person. There's always more room to learn and grow and you have to recap and keep putting all your new advice and guidance into practise, but life coaching has given me so much empowerment and time to learn about myself. Everyone should have it.

I could not thank Chris enough for what he has done for me, I was going through a real tough time in life. Couldn't see a way out. Mind was all over the place. My life felt in turmoil. So I researched help and turned away lots of possibilities, until I fell across Chris. I was worried at first, didn't no what to expect, but Chris put me a ease when we met leveled the ground from the off and got straight to work.

A long story short, Chris brought me from the lowest of the lows back to a great level in life. He's taught me to believe in my self again, he's taught me ways to deal with things. He's kept in contact for those times I drop again. And he's there to pick me back up, guided by honesty and a true desire to help and support.

I would 110% recommend if your considering help of any kind or personal growth, do not hesitate to reach out to Chris.

Thanks again for everything

My journey with Chris began in July 23, following a juncture in my professional and private life where I sought direction and answers to numerous inner questions. After mustering the courage to confront myself, I reached out to Chris, and I am genuinely grateful that I did. Right from our initial discussion, Chris displayed nothing but professionalism. He adeptly guided me to understand myself, providing a toolkit not just for coping but for success.

Turning the mirror on oneself is no easy task, but having done it now with Chris's support, I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone. There is nothing more rewarding than investing in oneself. Initially uncertain about where to begin, Chris formulated a plan and took me on a journey of discovery. While I was cautioned that certain aspects might be challenging, every step of the process made sense, and I had complete faith in Chris's approach.

After six months of collaboration with Chris, I can, with all sincerity, attest that many facets of my approach and outlook on life have changed, and for the better. I acknowledge that challenges will always be present, but I am now better equipped to handle them and venture into areas that I once believed were out of reach.

So, would I recommend life coaching? Yes! And would I recommend Oax Life Coaching? Absolutely!

Firstly this review is very late in being written, and this is purely due to the fact I was worried I wouldn’t do Chris the justice that he deserves in this small written box. I reached out to Chris last October, I had followed his Facebook page for a couple of years always enjoyed his content and the mantra he lived by. I reached out as I had hit a difficult road block in life and was really struggling to overcome it. It felt initially hard to reach out to Chris as I would have honestly said 90% of the time I had life all sorted, my outlook was always positive and I strongly believe we can’t stress over what we can’t control. But a family dispute has left me in a difficult place. The moment I first met Chris I just knew it was going to work with him, he put time and energy into our sessions he had this innate ability to know when we needed to explore a topic further and to help me find some answers. Our sessions were never really the same which made them so good. I was always able to come home and feel so much more clarity, I was able to talk with my husband about my session and how I felt and what I had learnt. This opened up a whole different level of discussion that I was able to have with my husband, which was incredible. We did an amazing session towards the end of my time with Chris where we walked for an hour and that session was a revelation for me, Chris helped me answer so many questions, helped me understand my feelings and also helped me reach a solution to managing those feelings I came away elevated that I really understood how I ended up in the place I did but more importantly how I made sure I didn’t get back there.
When I reached out I knew I was at possibly one of the lowest points of my life, I was worried I wasn’t a good mother or wife and that I was slowly drowning in all the tasks around me, as well as still trying to achieve in my full time demanding job role. After 3 months with Chris I had honestly turned my life around, I understood so much more about why I felt the way I did, I learnt how to manage a variety of situations he supported me tackle some anxiety that had creeped into my life. It was honestly a life changing moment for me in what I learnt from Chris but fundamentally I reached out to Chris with what I thought was one problem but I came away with so much more than a resolution to one problem as the learnings and the science along our journey were honestly incredible. Chris was incredible throughout I enjoyed my sessions with him and came away in a much better place every single time, Chris was always at the end of the phone should I need him to be and even after I finished my sessions he still checked in on me. I also know should I ever find myself if a difficult place the first thing I will do is reach out to Chris again. As someone who was too proud to admit she needed help initially I honestly came away with far than I ever expected.

I've known Chris for years, thanks to my dad's military connection with him. When I hit a really rough patch in life, feeling lost and overwhelmed, my dad suggested I chat with Chris, who just so happened to be running his own Life Coaching business. I was really grateful for the lifeline so I reached out to him!

Chris didn't just lend an ear; he became my rock. He helped me tackle my inner demons, especially when COVID came and took a toll on my mental and physical health, ultimately causing me to lose my business. With Chris by my side, I fought back and got my life back on track.

Today, I'm in a much better place mentally and physically, and I owe a big part of that to Chris. I've even started a new venture in the space of digital marketing, thanks to his support and guidance.

Chris, you're more than just a coach; you're a friend who stood by me when I needed it most. I'd recommend him to anyone feeling lost or needing a hand to get back on track.

Thank you so much Chris! ?

I meet Chris around 2 years ago through mutual friends.
I was instantly drawn towards him with his physical appearance approachability and his confidence in the way he spoke . We both had boxing in common , as Chris coached in the Army and myself coaching at a local Amateur club.

A year passed and I find myself low in confidence, stuck In making unhealthy choices, neglecting my own health and just happy with the norm. I lacked motivation and really needed to change something.

So I reached out to Chris and we arranged to meet .
In our very first meeting we meet in a neutral venue away from the daily routines and i instantly relax, for me I just knew Chris was going to help me change my direction.

Over the coming months we would meet regularly, he gives me tasks,homework,research feedback. He has really made me understand that its all about the journey and not the destination.

Since meeting Chris
My confidence has grown.
Understanding my mindset has grown (chimp)
My coaching has improved .
Planning in key. (Helped me realise)
Most importantly i have learnt I am me and to stop comparing myself to other.
I have dropped down to a 4 day working week to concentrate on coaching.

I honestly can't thank Chris enough, If you looking to level up meeting Chris is a must .

I meet with Chris in September 2021 having realised that I'd become very unfit and had an unhealthy lifestyle. I wanted to regain my fitness and change my lifestyle, after our first fitness assessment I was put onto a 12 week training programme to suit my needs, in those 12 weeks my body, fitness and mind changed massively. I became the person I wanted to be.
Since then I have continued to train with Chris on a weekly basis improving my fitness even more.
In 2023 I trained and ran 2 Half Marathons, 2024 trained and ran for the London Marathon which was amazing.
Thank you Chris for the help, effort and advise you have given me.

Chris was recommended to me by a good friend, and whilst I wasn’t too sure what I wanted to get out of the sessions at the start, felt that I wanted the support.

Chris was brilliant at getting me to think differently and helped me to get clarity and understand my own thoughts and feelings. The sessions were paced appropriately and Chris always summarised/followed up with things to think about or actions to take. A great pair of ears, used his own experiences to offer guidance, and I felt very comfortable having open and honest conversations with Chris.

A great guy and I would highly recommend!
