Philosophy
Life itself is not only the most important area to develop understanding, skills and strategies, but also the most essential to our happiness as a whole. A Life Coach helps people become aware of their full potential, which quite often is sub-conscious, and therefore become the most “Complete Version” of themselves, either in general or in specific areas of their lives.
As a professional Life Coach and Lifestyle Strategist, Grace draws professional knowledge and inspiration from disciplines including psychology, sociology, positive adult development, mentoring, mediation, and techniques of consulting and counseling, through values assessment, behavior modification, behavior modeling, goal-setting, and other integral techniques.
Grace helps her clients determine and achieve personal goals, overcome obstacles and make changes or shifts in their lives by challenging them, guiding, counseling and supporting them. Mentoring and Motivating her clients to move forward using different life strategies that are key in the process of setting and reaching goals.
Through studying, researching and mindfully observing Human Behavior for more than 25 years, Grace helps her clients to move forward and set personal and professional goals that will help them become the person they really want to be, and give them the “Life” they really want to Live.
Grace Factors specializes in three main areas – Personal Development Coaching (Inside and Out), Parenting & Family Coaching, and Relationship and Communication Coaching.
Human behavior can either limit you or empower you. Having the “Grace Factors” you need in your life, will ensure you live the best possible version of your life, with authenticity and integrity.
Testimonials
Grace has helped me think differently. She has guided me to process my thoughts in a more orderly, structured way. Meeting Grace has genuinely been life changing as it led to me taking the biggest decision I have ever made. I have not looked back since.
Mike. Gosford NSW
I have participated in Grace”s Coaching Program and it has been transformational for me. I am grateful as well for the opportunity to have Grace as my coach on a couple of occasions when I needed someone with a great balance between empathy and challenge . I always felt very comfortable around Grace and was able to work through some difficult things with her. I am grateful that Grace and I crossed paths and I would reach out to her again and again.
Adriana, NY
“As a man I thought, at a difficult time in our marriage, it was easier to keep quiet rather than try and discuss issues or feelings. After the first session with Grace it was obvious that one of the reasons for our difficulties was this approach. However the key is learning how to improve this and beginning to make things better with more open communication.
Grace is quite simply amazing at identifying behavioral ‘bad habits’ and crucially she can tackle them head on without making either party feel awkward, or in the wrong.
We ended up having 5 sessions and the difference in our relationship and marriage is staggering. If you are stuck in a rut, bottling things up and ‘points scoring’ with your partner, you need Grace to help you and trust me, she will.”
Matthew. Annandale NSW
“Things were pretty dire when we started seeing Grace, and I can confidently say that without her support and coaching we would not have stayed together. She taught us both how to communicate properly. To be honest, it also helped me in relationships outside of my marriage (both personally and professionally). Her ability to listen and challenge and really get to the bottom of issues is amazing. I wish we hadn’t taken as long as we did to start seeing her!”
Collette. NY
“I came to Grace specifically to deal with my relationship with my eldest son.
It was clear to me that if I carried on behaving in the way I was, we would always clash and I wanted to learn different strategies to help me cope better with his behavior. Grace has helped guide me through the minefield. She listens carefully, is never judgemental , allows you space to let go of emotions that may be holding you back and makes you feel safe and heard during the process.
As a result of my sessions with Grace, not only does my relationship with my eldest run more smoothly, it has also had a knock on effect in the way I deal with my other two kids. Our home is a far happier home for it.”
Elizabeth. NSW Australia.
I cannot thank Grace enough for what she helped me achieve over just four sessions. The impact on my life has been so amazing and priceless, I have now booked four more.”
Mark. NY
“Grace is a wonderful coach and guide. She knows how to help parents get in tune with their children to help them develop the kind of relationship with their children they only thought was possible in their dreams. It is my pleasure to know and work with Grace.”
Greg and Olivia Main.
“The insight and support that I was given has allowed me to relinquish a lot of guilt and expectations that I had in regards to the relationship with my child. In doing do, I have been able to fully understand and practice becoming a more conscious parent. She has empowered me to continue my personal growth as it will eventually influence my family. Grace is a wealth of information and guidance for those on the journey of conscious parenting.”
Lucy. NY
“We came to a Grace because our marriage was not clicking. My husband did not want to go to counseling but he liked the idea of a coach. We talked about what was working and what wasn’t. We came away with simple steps to get us out of the same old fights and we are better partners and better parents.”
John and Rebecca. NSW
I am 15. My mom and I were having fights all the time. I didn’t want to see a coach. I went the first time and Grace said I could say anything. I was unhappy in school and had no friends. She helped me come up with a plan. I joined some groups. My mom and I have talking plan that works. I am so glad I went that first day.

“If there is one person I know who can solve the toughest of family problems, it is Grace. She is the best investment you can make as a parent.”
Meredith. UK
“Wow. I didn’t think it was possible to change this fast! My work/life balance has improved dramatically, and my family life now ‘exists’ again.”
Peter. NSW
“I am filled with gratitude for the wonderful mentor coaching that Grace provided to me over the past few months. With her heart, mind and soul Grace has delivered generous, effective feedback and brought great insights into my personal and professional life. I would highly recommend Grace’s work as a coach and mentor.”
Nadia. Brooklyn USA
“Grace is both passionate and knowledgable and her advice is unquestionable! She helped me to see how often style can initially be more important than substance. Until anyone has a chance to get to know you, all you can do is present yourself in the best possible way to give yourself the best chance at being heard. Prior to working with Grace I had applied for countless jobs with no results. Since working with Grace, I now not only have an amazing job, but I am also on my way to moving up in my career, and I have also found myself in a relationship I never thought someone like me could ever have. Working with Grace is the best decision I have made in years! Life changing on so many levels.
Beatrice. NSW
I worked with Grace during a very low and difficult period. She was always 100% supportive without letting me off the hook for things I really needed the courage to do. She took me through a big transition in my work life and without her wisdom and challenge I’m not sure how I would have got to the other side.
Private Client
First of all Grace is the shit. She knows what she’s doing, she’s a great listener, she keeps you accountable and she makes you laugh, all in the span of an hour. Working with her has made me felt safe, comfortable, secure and more human. I would recommend Grace to anyone. I’m so appreciative of the coaching sessions we had together.
Jodi, Los Angeles
I have loved my sessions with Grace. I started out with ideas, but also with chaos and confusion in my head and no clear plan of how to get where I wanted. Within the short time we worked together Grace helped me to identify what I really wanted; question a lot of the day to day stuff that wasn’t working and to overcome some specific obstacles that I’d had for many years. Grace has an incredible ability to cut to the heart of an issue, in a kind and gentle way. I felt she was on my side and she understood. I have benefited so much from working with Grace and thoroughly enjoyed every minute.
Claire, London
Working with Grace has been the best investment I’ve ever made. She empowered me to discover the deepest parts of myself and work through the things I’ve tried to hide from for years. She helped me develop actionable steps and held me accountable to what I said I want. Grace is right there with me through the ugly and the scary, gently pushing me forward. If you’re ready to dive deep and create lasting change-you need to work with Grace!
Mercedes. NY
You see the world for what it is and people for who they really are. You read between the lines and ask exactly the right questions at exactly the right times to bring those breakthrough moments. I felt like I could be myself in our sessions. I never felt judged. I’ll miss our talks.
Paula. NY
“I think if you’re skeptical about coaching, all the more reason to do it. When we started coaching, I laid in bed a lot hiding, binge ate, didn’t do any exercise, didn’t really like much about my life, cried a lot. And now, I feel like, I knew this person was in there, because I knew I’d been that person before, but pfff, probably not for like, 10 years. And I know it sounds really cliche, but I feel like I’ve got my life back.”
Anna. NY
Our sessions made me address my past head on. I’ve realized the only thing holding me back is me and that my beliefs and the reality were not the same. Now I understand myself better I can address these things. At first, our sessions were exhausting, I’ve never thought so much. It was as though someone had turned on a light and I could see what I was doing clearly. You enable people to find their own answers by asking the right questions and prompting when necessary. I love your style, warmth and approach.
Robert. NJ
I was using alcohol to numb out when I was feeling overwhelmed and unable to cope. I knew I had developed a bad habit and needed to know why. Grace, you asked the difficult questions that I would never have asked myself. You made it possible for me to see clearly why I was using alcohol. You didn’t let me avoid the truth. As a result I no longer want to drink. I loved your honesty and straightforwardness. I felt able to be completely vulnerable without the fear of being judged or feeling shame.
Allen. Sydney
I’m a therapist and I know how coaching and therapy works and I was worried you’d be one of those- ‘How does that make you feel?’- type… and I would want to punch you. I like you as a person and I loved how real you were with me and how I could be myself without worrying if you were judging me. Since working with you, I feel as though I know my inner landscape better and I feel less alone with my struggles. I’ll often hear your voice pop up into my head asking straight to the heart of it questions about what I’m doing and why. I would definitely recommend your coaching. You’re like a Northern, amazon warrior queen and I would follow you into battle. You’re real, and funny and inspiring without being a cliché and I love what you offer to the world.
