CAPACITY STUDIO
Ann Van Leerdam
COACHING, CONSULTING & FACILITATION
I work with women and workplaces to uncover new ways forward using collaborative, evidence based methods.
What is Coaching? It's not rocket science but it is neuroscience and we only survived as a species because we worked together. Coaching is a way for you to identify how you want to live and then be supported to find your way forward so you can do that. It is not another set of lists or 'shoulds' it is a collaborative and generative process that is supportive and offers accountability.
About Me
My name is Ann Van Leerdam.
What I know is, that we are not designed to do this by ourselves. What I mean by 'this' is life. We need each other.
I grew up in a small town in South West Victoria on Djargurd Wurrung Country. I am second generation settler from Scottish and Dutch heratige. I now live in Melbourne on Boon Wurrung Country with my blended family. When I'm not hanging out with my family and working, I love reading, creating, singing and spending time with friends and camping at the beach. I also really love coaching. Why?
Coaching is such a collaborative and creative approach to wellbeing.
After going through burn out, hitting perimenopause then living with Long Covid, I needed a holistic framework to support me back to wellbeing. Despite all of my expertise, I couldn't do it alone, and I asked for support from a couple of wonderful coaches. I have a new way of seeing the world, and its a hopeful one. Coaches need Coaches too!
I have seen the coaching framework support so many people to live the life they want to live.
I have an educational background in Counselling, Teaching, Community Development, Neuroscience and Social Prescribing- which are the foundations of my accredited coaching and facilitation practice.
All people are welcome!
I am an ally to First Nations people and LGBTIQA+ people. I belong to a neurodivergent family.
Who do I Work With?
When we are Well it is better for us, our families, our friends, our workplaces, our neighbourhoods and our world.
I work with coaches, who don't often get the chance to work on their own wellbeing. Its really hard to coach yourself!
I work with people who want to live life in a way that is more than just surviving - including Neurodivergent people and people in Menopause transition.
I work with groups to teach stress recovery and wellness strategies for healthy ageing that enable them to live the life they want to live.
I work with businesses to support their staff and boards to flourish in their roles.
I have the training and qualifications to support people of all ages and stages.
I am a First Nations People and LGBTIQA+ Ally.

Other coaches - we need support too!
Women transitioning through menopause.
Neurodivergent women - creatives, sole traders, entrepreneurs

Groups of 4 - Social connection is vital to our wellbeing. We were designed/ created/ evolved to support and cooperate with each other. Its how we survived as a species! This is a great opportunity for 4 of you to come together and learn how to support your nervous systems and each other in a creative and curious environment. At the end. you'll have your own accountability group too!
