I’m Jo Robertson, a Certified Martha Beck Life Coach. I work with women in Auckland and online anywhere in New Zealand and beyond who are ready to stop putting their own life on hold.
You may be feeling uncertain about where you want to go and how to get started. That’s okay. You already have strengths, skills and experience you can build on. My job is to help you see them clearly and use them to move forward.
Women who have looked after everyone else, and are ready for their turn.
Most of the women I coach feel a quiet sense that there has to be more to life, and they are no longer willing to wait. Some want:
- A career change
- More purpose
- More energy
- More fun
- A life that feels like theirs again
I have been where you are.
The first turning point
From the outside I had a good life: a great husband, three gorgeous kids and a leadership role in teaching. I was also stressed and so busy looking after everyone else that I forgot about myself.
When my mother was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s, there were days I had nothing left to give.
Working with a coach
I decided to work with a coach, and my thinking shifted. I could see the life I wanted and take the steps to bring it into reality.
I went on to spend ten fabulous years building resilience in school communities and mentoring teachers.
Why I coach
The difference between how I feel today and that feeling of “there just has to be more” is priceless.
I trained as a Martha Beck life coach so I could give other women the same tools that changed my life.
“Is this what I want for my life?” It was a wake-up moment. I knew I needed to change, but I did not know how.

Before you get in touch
What is a Martha Beck life coach?
A Martha Beck life coach is a coach trained and certified through the Martha Beck Institute, founded by sociologist and best-selling author Martha Beck. The approach pairs practical coaching tools with listening to your own sense of what feels right, so you can reconnect with what you want and act on it. I am a Certified Martha Beck life coach based in Auckland, New Zealand.
Do you coach in person or online?
I am available to coach both in person and online. I see clients in person in Auckland, and online by Google Meet for women anywhere in New Zealand and beyond. Online sessions work just as well, and many women find them easier to fit around work and family.
Who do you coach?
I coach women, usually 40 and over, who are ready to make a change in life or work. Often she is the one holding everything together for everyone else. You do not need to know exactly what you want before we start.
Where do I start?
I always recommend clients start with a complimentary call, where we can get to know your individual situation and work out what is best for you. The BreakFree call is 30 minutes, in person in Auckland or online, with no pressure either way.
