“My life was great on the surface – but on the inside I carried unhappiness and anger, all directed towards my marriage, as over the years it had not played out how I’d imagined it.
Finally (after ten plus years) this anger made me ill and I sank into a deep dark space. But it was in there I realised that it was neither, my husband nor my marriage that had put me their. In fact it was me and my behaviour that needed questioning. It was time to hold the mirror up to my own face instead of pointing it (the blame) at everyone else.
2011 was a very humbling experience for me. I started seeing Nadine in February, we pretty much met weekly for 10 months. I soon prioritised her sessions as the most important activity in my week, as I could feel the dark clouds lifting and I found it thrilling, to be learning about myself…..for myself. We focused on my thoughts, my emotions and the beliefs that had supported them all. Some of those beliefs (that I was living my life by) I’d made in my early 20’s, I am now 40 – and they were so not working for me!
I think the biggest tool Nadine has taught me (and she has given me many…) is that when I am brave enough to change my behaviour, people around me automatically change too. The evidence in my family has been astounding. It has had a huge ripple effect on my husband and our four children. We spent this Christmas with my sister and she recently told me that she’d never seen the two of us so happy and accepting of each other….. And to think 12 months earlier I had reached an all time low in my life and was feeling extremely fragile in our marriage of 15 years.” Donna Rose

“I attended the Sustainable You weekend workshop recently and found it to be incredibly useful and worthwhile. I went to gain further insight into myself as to why I do and think what I do, and what changes I can make in my thinking and perceptions to deal with my reality more effectively. Having clear goals already I wanted to clear blocks from the past that may be holding me back, consciously or unconsciously. Nadine is a very effective coach. She communicates clearly and compassionately, gently guiding you through different levels of understanding. She is extremely honest yet professional and has the ability to hit the nail on the head at just the right time! I would definitely recommend Sustainable You for anyone that is looking for not only greater self awareness, but also specific and tangible tools that can be taken away and applied immediately for long term growth and benefit.” M.C. Sales Executive, Australia

“What I gained from attending Sustainable You is that I need to challenge what my emotions mean. I have identified the common theme that runs through the whole of my life. The workshop gave me insight into what I need to do to start changing my life. It was highly beneficial.” Anonymous
“I attended this fabulous life-changing workshop with my partner. Getting engaged after being with each other for many years, we had got into a habit of taking each other for granted. We both had our own unresolved issues that we wanted to deal with before taking the ‘next step’. It opened our eyes and forced us to connect and communicate in a way we had never done before. Within the first morning I realised that I had much to learn and further develop in me, and how my anxiety was contributing to the stress we were experiencing in different points of our relationship. Nadine and Pettina taught us an amazingly powerful method to assist with any situation in life that either does not go to plan or causes stress. I now use this method to assist me at work and with our extended family. My psychologist has been delighted in the change in me and I am looking at my life with new eyes, wow. I am now much less anxious and my partner is no longer depressed. I recommend this workshop to everyone and anyone stressed or NOT – this is something that you can use every day, no matter how small or large the problem, it will greatly assist you!” Georgie, Sales Executive, Brisbane
“I really had some pennies drop in this great workshop. I gained a lot because I now have a far more relaxed view on the world and me now. I feel really relieved and a lot better! Thank you Pettina and Nadine for giving me this eye-opening experience!” Ms Ott, Germany
“I learned methods to identify weakness in my approach to many challenges. Nadine displays wisdom beyond her years. She is calm and in control and makes great effort to understand her participants” Michael McCloud
“Nadine is very supportive, caring, loving, understanding and fully committed to her work and her clients. I am so thankful to her for all of her help. I am so amazed by the love and support she offers me. It’s more than I could have ever asked for. Over the past nine months that I have been working with Nadine, I have set goals to overcome challenges that had been standing in my way. Now, I am currently working on creating my own “life rules” rather than being guided by society or other people’s “rules”.” Shandell Boyd, Professional, Australia
“I found our sessions to be extremely beneficial in what I required at commencement of our sessions. There is no quick fix and living your life to your own values and needs takes time and constant evaluation. I feel that you have given me these tools for where I am currently at and will assist planning for next steps both in the future and when that need arises. You have taught me to care for me, balance my work/career with my family and personal life and to re-discover what is most important to ME at this time in my life. Thank you and I wish you all the best in the future.” Sales Manager, Brisbane, Australia
“I had hit rock bottom in my work and personal life when I sought the help from Nadine. Nadine helped me gain some clarity, identify my immediate needs and most importantly ensured I kept on track towards my long term goals when it would have been much easier to stay on the same track to nowhere.” N. Sands, Mother, Executive, Australia
“I’ve come a long way in only three months! When I look back at what I first wanted out of my personal coaching sessions it almost seems frivolous in comparison to what I’ve accomplished. Nadine has guided me towards a positive life by addressing who I really am. My relationships are stronger, I’m calmer and grounded and most importantly, increasingly sure of myself. At 21, I can honestly say that I’m exactly where I want to be which not a lot of people can say. This, I feel, is the most beneficial learning curve that I’ve had in my life to date.” Jackie 21, Working Student, Australia
“Nadine Piat-Niski has assisted me to achieve success in my life both personally and professionally.

I would highly recommend Nadine Piat-Niski’s services and believe her services are truly a unique approach to personal coaching.” B. Hammond, Married Executive, Australia
