Having the luxury of working with Bernadette as a business consultant has been truly incredible. Her breadth of knowledge is amazing, and she brings such openness and honesty to everything she does.

Bernadette isn’t afraid to have the tough, honest conversations when they’re needed, but she does so with kindness, care, and genuine support. She doesn’t just highlight challenges; she gives you the tools, clarity, and confidence to move forward feeling empowered rather than stuck.

What really sets Bernadette apart is that she cares deeply not only about your business, but about you as a person. Your health, wellbeing, and sustainability matter to her just as much as your success, and that level of care is rare.

I’m so grateful that I invested in Bernadette’s consulting, and I know without a doubt that our paths will cross again in the future. I cannot recommend working with her highly enough. She is truly a saint

“Transformative”

Before working with you, I felt stuck. I had gathered a lot of information, but didn’t know how to apply it effectively. Everything in my business felt tangled, and I didn’t know where to start.

Now, I feel a strong sense of clarity. I’m beginning to position myself in the right way to attract my ideal clients. I finally have direction and momentum.

Every session was impactful. You understood my pain points, challenged me where I was holding back, and held me accountable. It’s one of the best decisions you can make for your business — you’ll feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow.”

“Empowering!”

5 stars just isn’t enough! I am so grateful to have spent the past 5 months with Bernadette on a 1-1 basis working on my business. The knowledge and value you have given me is something I will take and use forever. You have helped me grow in confidence and clarity, and you created a space that felt so safe and focused.

Before working with Bernadette, I was struggling with time management, imposter syndrome, and just generally getting work done. I didn’t know where I stood in the industry and felt really out of the loop—unsure how to scale, how to stay within my goals, or manage my time. I was overwhelmed.

Now, I feel confident, in control in certain situations, and I know where I am. Bernadette has always been at the top of my list, and it felt like the right time to work with her.

Having access to Bernadette made me feel at ease throughout the entire process. Her calm, thoughtful, and professional demeanour, along with her clear communication and encouragement, helped me immensely. She’s a great listener and brings such clarity.

For anyone who is considering working with Bernadette, I highly recommend. It was the best thing I have ever done!

Just to say—thank you for everything! 

Lucy, Lucy Ann Events

Before coaching with Bernadette, I had the vision and the passion but I needed the kind of guidance only someone who had been in my shoes could give. I wanted to attract clients who truly value quality, intentionality, and design, people who respect the work, not just the price tag.

At the start, I felt overwhelmed, constantly wondering if I was doing things the ‘right’ way. But after three months with Bernadette, I gained more than just knowledge. I gained clarity, confidence, and conviction.

From day one, I felt supported and stretched in the best way. I learned how to lead with purpose, elevate my offer, and stop over-explaining what I bring to the table. Her coaching style is Clear & Compassionate. She’s part strategist, part hype woman, part fairy godmother. Yes, we achieved my goals and the ripple effects are still unfolding. I walked in wanting structure. I walked out with power.

One word to sum it all up? Empowering.

Dami, 2501 Events

I cannot express quite how much Bernadette has changed me both personally and professionally and my business over the past 5 months. We worked together on her Beyond the Pretty 1:1 and the knowledge, advice and guidance I have received has truly moulded me and my business. Putting all the elements into place has allowed me to begin to grow my business, learn and understand the process of how to grow my business and push me outside of my comfort zone and towards my long term goals. Bernadette’s attitude and confidence are incredible and I have thoroughly enjoyed her coaching. I am very sad that our journey has come to an end but I will be continuing to work with her and her invaluable guidance. Thank you Bernadette! This time with you has been a real game changer!

It’s been a really wonderful “journey” with Bernadette the last 6 months. She was JUST what I needed this year after relocating from London to the countryside; with my life a up in the air and at crossroads with business! She was so kind, caring, and supportive and really help ground me which was what I needed.

Over the last 6 months Bernadette has helped me build some really solid foundations within myself and my new offering as well as improve my (multiple) websites with content and layout, as well as increasing my network. She has massively increased my confidence which has in turn allowed me to focus properly on what I am doing and where I am going. I no longer feel stranded at sea! And instead have not only confidence and clarity, but excitement for the future! She’s honestly been an amazing support, a source of ideas, and fountain of knowledge and I would highly recommend working with her!

Before working with Bernadette I was struggling with ideal client and visibility. I decided to book Beyond the Pretty 1:1 so I could really focus on my strategy. At the end of our 6 months together we accomplished many of my goals and I’m currently working my way through the others. My favourite part of working with Bernadette was her genuine interest in me, my life and my business. She was supportive and caring with an honest approach. At the end of our time together I felt driven and purposeful.

Without a doubt, this was the best investment I could have ever made and it was not about investing in Bernadette. It was about investing in myself which for me, is priceless. The cost was not cheap, but you cannot put a value on your personal growth and development and when put into context, I got so more out of my 4 months with her than could have paid for. True value for money. Thank you.

Working with Bernadette has been life changing not just to my business but to my life as an entrepreneur. In the time I spent working with Bernadette I was able to totally transform my business – I rebranded to ensure my brand was in line with my messaging, changed my services and pricing structure to make sure I was making more profit, I add other streams of income and I was able to identify who my ideal clients are and correctly position my business in the industry.

Not only was Bernadette incredibly helpful in transforming my business but she transformed me as an entrepreneur with amazing tips and advice on mindset, time management, productivity, self care and work/life/balance. I have truly never met someone with so much knowledge. The best thing about Bernadette’s consulting programme is that she doesn’t just care about your business, she truly cares about you, constantly checking in with your wellbeing.

Bernadette’s programme is not just a one-off she is the type of coach you need long term.

Wura, Manola Luxe

I reached a low mentally and had some bad experiences that really had a knock on effect of my confidence. I reached out to Bernadette as I was drawn to her friendly, warm and calm approach rather than a sell, sell, sell attitude.

I am now in full control of my business and have achieved so much with my new mindset as well as my goals for 2018, worked on my SEO, have a greater understanding of my business and who my ideal client is and more importantly how to get them. I have now recognised how I am a great wedding and party planner and have some amazing contacts and support in the industry and feel very inspired. So, a big thank you to Bernadette!
