Nina Stanyer
Mentor, Author & Creator of the PAUSE Philosophy™
You don’t need another healing loop.
You need a way forward.
For women who’ve tried to work it out, followed the advice, done the reflecting – and still feel like they’re circling the same questions without a clear way forward.
Presence. Process. Proceed.
A grounded philosophy for self-trust, clarity, and moving forward.
In Their Own Words
Every woman’s journey is different, but the thread is often the same: clarity begins to return, choice becomes possible, and the next step starts to feel less out of reach.
Centre Point
For clarity, direction, and finding the next step.
"I came into Centre Point thinking I needed to explain everything that had happened. What I actually needed was someone to help me see where I was standing, what was mine to choose, and what direction made sense next."
Trudy Mason
"Centre Point helped me realise I wasn’t as stuck as I thought. I had been circling the same questions, but once things were named clearly, I could see my next step without needing everything solved first."
Samantha Burke
"I truly didn’t know what to expect when I went into my Centre Point session with Nina. What surprised me most was the clear direction and the clarity (as she says) that I got from it. I’m excited to move forward now I have direction."
Sue Pegs
The First Step
For making sense of change, overwhelm, and what needs attention.
"The First Step helped me make sense of a year of change and overwhelm.
I highly recommend investing in yourself."
Allison Fowler
“I felt seen and deeply heard. Nina’s approach is compassionate, practical, and full of wisdom. The course helped me clarify my direction and showed me areas of growth I wasn’t previously aware of."
Susan
"Nina is genuine, authentic and brilliant at what she does. Her sessions have been so helpful in her new life - I can’t wait to continue the journey."
Rachel Taiaroa
Dragonfly Awakening
For deeper identity, self-trust, and self-leadership work.
"Wonderful, caring mentor. Knows when to step gently and when to give me the push I need. Highly recommend Nina."
Jill Weeks
"After leaving long-term domestic violence, I found deep, life-changing support through Nina’s coaching. I recommend her anyone ready to heal with focus and commitment."
Jasmin Blackwell-Griffin
"Working with Nina helped me harness my strength and choose a more enriching path in life and career. It’s been a wild ride - and I’ve loved every minute."
Lucy Heath
Life in Balance
For ongoing orientation, steadiness, and practising choice.
"Through The First Step, Dragonfly Awakening, and now the Life in Balance program, Nina has held space with kindness and care. I’ve grown so much and continue to rediscover the parts of me that I thought I had lost."
SM
"Life in Balance helps me slow down enough to hear myself clearly. I’m not chasing breakthroughs anymore. I’m learning to trust the quieter signals and choose from there."
Mandy Sandal
"What I love about Life in Balance is that there’s no pressure to perform growth. I can arrive exactly where I am, notice what matters, and leave with a steadier sense of myself."
Susan Moore
The PAUSE Philosophy™
A grounded philosophy that helps women return to presence, process what matters, and proceed with greater clarity, choice, and self-trust.
"PAUSE is a simple yet effective deep-dive into knowing yourself better. It helped me slow down and consciously connect with what I was feeling, creating a bridge between my body and awareness."
Simone Carter
“PAUSE is an investment in yourself and your wellbeing. It helps you detangle your thoughts and return to your inner authority, so you can choose your next step with clarity.”
Joy
"Before PAUSE, I thought moving forward meant having everything sorted first. Now I understand I can proceed with more awareness, even when things still feel unfinished."
