The Cottage:
Private VIP Coaching Days

Ōākura, New Zealand

A private 24-hour coaching experience, hosted at my home in Ōākura.

There is a particular depth to working together in person, with dedicated time and space to think beyond the immediate demands of the day. An idea can be explored from different angles, a decision can be worked through creatively, and a conversation can unfold in ways that we don’t often reach within a scheduled hour.

Over the past five years, I’ve been studying the craft of coaching: how we work together, how an experience is designed, and how our environment, attention and the time we have can shape the quality of the work. My background in somatic practice informs this too. I pay attention to the person behind the business, not just the challenge in front of us.

I created The Cottage to bring these elements together in a private coaching experience where we can give your business, leadership and decisions our full attention.

Across a focused day of one-to-one coaching and strategic thinking, with an overnight stay in your own private Cottage, we can work through the decisions you’re facing, develop ideas into strategy and explore the way you want to take your ideas and plans into the next 6-12months. You’ll leave with clearer thinking, considered decisions and practical direction you can put into action.

An invitation to my home

The Cottage began as a working space for me. Somewhere without desks or traditional boardrooms, where I could think expansively, work through ideas and decisions, enjoy good food and great coffee, and feel connected to myself and my surroundings.

It’s part of our home in Ōākura Village, a coastal community we’ve been fortunate to become part of since purchasing the property in 2025. Getting to know its history, caring for what is here and finding our place within its story has become a meaningful part of my relationship with this place.

And now, I’d love to invite my clients into this space too.

The Cottage offers dedicated one-to-one time to work on the ideas, decisions and opportunities shaping your business, creativity and leadership. We’ll make space for the bigger picture, get into the detail and identify the choices and actions that will move your work and ideas forward.

The 24-hour format gives us room to stay with a question, follow an idea as it develops and explore what emerges in conversation. The work is focused, with the freedom to let the conversation unfold rather than rushing to cover everything. 

Expect great coffee, delicious homestyle food, fresh citrus from the garden, your own private outdoor shower, thoughtful details and conversations that might continue around the firepit after our formal coaching time has finished.

With an overnight stay included, you can take the time to reflect on our work together before returning to the pace of everyday life.

A note from Amy

The Cottage is an invitation into my world and the way I work. I’ve always believed there is something special about spending time together in person: the conversations that happen over coffee, the space to think out loud, the connection that grows when we’re not watching the clock.

I’ve created an environment that reflects how I like to coach: thoughtful, welcoming and designed to help you find clarity and build momentum. My work brings together coaching, somatic practice and strategic thinking, with a genuine appreciation for the person behind the business.

I’d love to welcome you into my home, spend a day working closely together, and create the space for fresh perspective, meaningful connection and forward movement.
