About 7 years ago with a young family, house to run but a well-paying job I dreamed of an easier way of ‘doing it all’.

I’d had my share of health issues over the years and was very interested in all things Complementary.

I had been a Radiation therapist in a major public hospital for nearly 15 years when I discovered Kinesiology and knew I had to be one.

What a fabulous journey it has been.

Gaining the skills was a challenge logistically (family-wise) but easy and fun.

Turning it into a business that fitted in with my lifestyle was another.

I remember going to a national Kinesiology conference as a student and met many people who, up until then, were only names in books. It was awesome. What was more awesome was when one of these high-profile practitioners came up to me and told me she ‘saw big things for me in the future’.

Back then I didn’t believe her.

Luckily, early in my journey (July 2007), I stumbled across Ms Margz one day as I was Googling ‘Complementary Health Marketing’.

I felt a connection to her right on that home page and signed up for her 90 Day Challenge - what did I have to lose? It was free.

This was completely new to me as I’d never had to consider anything like this in my previous position. It was, and still is, a wonderful process to work through with lots of practical actions to help you on your way.

Margz ‘gave me permission’ to start up my business in my lounge room with her famous line ‘It doesn’t have to be perfect to be perfect’.

After about 6 months of this, my husband gave up his beloved study so I could have a dedicated treatment room. Ahh.

I then discovered her ‘Practice Building Success System’ and ‘Attraction Program’.

In 2009 I then met the gorgeous Ms Margz in person at Adelaide’s ‘Sore to Soar’. This was a real turning point, as my darkest hour became my connection to people all over the world.

Overcoming Overwhelm was born.

I’m now doing consults both in person and over the phone, getting requests for Blog articles from many corners of the country, have been asked my opinion on a variety of topics. A simple email from a colleague for a guided meditation turned into a call to Margz to ‘make it happen’.

Margz also gave me the confidence to run a 4 week tele-seminar series for beginner practitioners which was well received.

I managed to do all of this whilst still walking my children to and from school each day, attend assemblies and excursion, manage my daughter’s soccer team and generally keep the house running smoothly.

“Life is for living, life is too short
to say I am not allowed.”
Robyn Stitt

One day I will have a bustling clinic, but for me right now, what I’ve created is perfect.

I have the family/ work balance sussed.

I work the work around the life, not try to do it the other way around.

Ms Margz has been a valuable supporter (she celebrates your successes and picks you up to try again if things don’t go so well), she’s a veritable font of knowledge who shares freely. Why reinvent the wheel if someone else has already done it?

She’s the ‘grain of sand in your oyster’ necessary for the formation of that precious pearl.

She doesn’t expect you to do everything she tells you- I certainly don’t, but I do value her opinion and will always ask for it.

I have found a number of valuable friends and connections on the ‘Wellbeing Winners Forum’ run by Margz.

I consider Ms Margz to be not only a mentor but a friend and I am so glad I found her.

Now I do believe what others saw in me all those years ago - ‘There are big things out there for me!’

I’m an Intuitive Astrologer, Energy Medicine Master, Soul Mentor and Teacher.

I’m on a mission of global service to ignite, inspire and support people to embrace their soul urge to SHINE. I’ve become an expert at navigating the inner territory one must travel between here and SHINE.

3 years ago I had to make a decision. Take my passion and turn it into a full time business – or get a hair cut and get a real job! As a rebel with a cause, there was no way I was cutting my hair.

I’d been in business before but I’d already applied all I knew from that world. This new learning curve looked steep and overwhelming – I needed help, fast. My friends ‘upstairs’ redirected Mz Margz newsletter, via a friend into my inbox . . . and I’d gobbled up Margz’ gift of the 90 day challenge by 2.00am that night.

I wasn’t waiting another 89 days to take the next step, so I..... Phoned Mz Margz the next morning and after an inspiring discussion and some very practical insights I could use right now, I knew I’d found the person I needed. Mz Margz had everything I was missing. A tried and true step-by-step system, and the ongoing support to ensure I could put it into action in a way that works for me.

Looking back, the magic ingredient for me was that Margz not only had the products, she could really see me . . . in my full shining potential and she believed in me . . . the same way I really see and believe in everyone I work with.

3 years later… it feels like a life time ago, that my coaching began. Margz has supported me through huge changes, interstate moves and many challenges. I’m still loving the journey, learning, growing and achieving business goals I would never have reached alone.

Soul Access is looking forward to new business premises in 2011 and enjoying connecting with beautiful clients from all over Australia and overseas. I’m stepping into joint ventures and courageously offering my gifts to the world as I’ve always wanted to, but never knew how.

Oohh and its also my 3^rd year of writing the New Moon content for Mz Margz “Abundance Cheque Reminders”.

At last the products are coming … I’ve created my first cd Embracing the Shift Within which will hit my online shop in January. Pre-release orders are already coming in.

And after 6 months in soul retreat this year, my new website, products and packages are taking shape, my newsletter is buzzing again (and it continued to attract new subscribers while I was regenerating), requests for public talks, joint ventures and new clients are rolling in. My first 2011 retreat Soul Deep is happening in February – with longer group and personal retreats in the planning as we speak.

And one more thing . . . Going Global . . . I’ve always seen myself working nationally and internationally in my visions, but couldn’t see the “how” part. Tada!!! With Margz online knowledge - I quickly learned to manage websites, blogs, databases, ezines and all the essentials we need for a healthy online presence. After my first teleclass lesson, I created a 4 week teleseminar series that was fully booked within days, with clients from SA, Vic, NSW, Qld & UK. Its now part of my live workshop series and in the process of becoming a cd/e-book product - and that’s just the first one - Teleseminars rock!

Readings all over the Planet And as part of the fun, with my wonderful friend Mz Skype my reading and mentoring services are now available globally, in the comfort of your own home.

Mz Margz has inspired me out of hiding in my well crafted comfort zone. Pushed my buttons until my cause ignited into a mission and then fuelled my passion with all the ‘how to’ I needed to get it all happening. 3 years ago, I was frustrated and wasting so much energy and passion trying to move forward in ways that were never going to work. I’m so grateful for taking the plunge with Mz Margz. I know I’m teetering on the edge of another steep learning curve – and I’m throwing logs on the fire - yelling out to the universe bring it on! Margz’s teachings have integrated and become an inspiring voice in my head, that kicks in the pantz as it speaks! Gotta love that!

Above all else she has helped me to believe, beyond doubt, that my brand of special is needed by many, valuable and worth paying for. Now my much loved clients reflect that back to me every day. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Mz Margz X

Hi there,

I’m a yoga teacher, shiatsu practitioner, studio owner and yoga entrepreneur.

2 years ago my fledgling business, SunYoga, was going nowhere. I was working as hard as I could and was exhausted. I felt out of my depth and was very negative about my future prospects. I had little skills in running a business and realised that setting up a lovely space with nice brochures and a nice website wasn’t enough to get customers walking in the door. So I enlisted the help of a business mentor (not Mz Margz). The mentor was helpful but conservative, with limited ideas or understanding of my micro micro business and just kept telling me what a hard job I had. This I knew already! After 2 meetings they advised that I “plan to get out”. I wasn’t ready to pull the pin so the search continued…

Enter Mz Margz… After one hour of honest, spirited discussion with MZ Margz everything changed. My spirit lifted, my enthusiasm was recharged and I was buzzing! It really was a hallelujah moment. I had found the right person. HOORAY! She did not for one moment doubt that I could make my business work and even in that initial call identified so many ways that I could move forward and where I was misdirecting my time, energy and dollars.

2 years later… With our regular coaching sessions I am steadily learning, developing, growing and achieving in my business. Success starts to flow my way and SunYoga is humming with wonderful clients who love and value our work. I have paid off my start-up loan and my profit over the last financial year increased by 70%. Not bad, eh?

But wait, there’s more… I have produced and co-created the elements – guided relaxation, a beautiful CD which within one year is in profit and sold close to 50% of the stock. I teach regular weekend retreats and in October, 2010, I will teach my first interstate yoga holiday retreat (50% booked already). I have created 3 mini yoga instructional videos which are available free via the internet and produce a monthly e-newsletter which is enjoyed by around 700 subscribers and has lead to me writing my first article for a national yoga magazine. And lastly (and what a treat) I have hired a cleaner!

Mz Margz inspires me to dare to be my best, to work methodically towards achieving my full potential. She delights in my sometimes unorthodox approach and guides me with humour and compassion, (and is not afraid to cut through my bullshit when necessary). She encourages & coaches me to tackle the areas of business that I find difficult and I now confidently go for bigger targets. I wholeheartedly believe that I have something of unique value that people need and will pay for. Working together we are shaping my business to grow towards a much bigger picture than I could have ever dreamt up on my own… Onwards & forwards & ON YA MZ MARGZ!
