What my Clients & Peers Say
I highly recommend Barbara as a stress coach and author of the transformative Living A Stress-Free Life book series. Her works, including Coping with Anxiety, Decluttering Your Mind, and Breaking Free from Stress, offer invaluable tools to manage anxiety, simplify mental clutter, and overcome the root causes of stress.
As a guest on her podcast, The Resilience Diaries, I experienced firsthand her empathetic and approachable nature. Despite thinking I had resolved my anxieties, our conversation uncovered lingering stress I hadn’t addressed. Her thoughtful guidance helped me heal and find clarity.
Barbara's insights and ability to create a safe, supportive space make her an exceptional resource for anyone seeking a calmer, more balanced life.

Barbara is a very perceptive coach. She has a way of explaining complex issues and ideas in a way that puts everyone at ease. I enjoyed learning from her. Her support and guidance and undemanding approach helped me to explore and focus on myself. I feel more confident just knowing that should any symptoms occur not I have a toolkit of new practices I can incorporate into my everyday life.

I can’t speak highly enough about the coaching journey with Barbara Anna St Claire Ostwald. From the very beginning, "she demonstrated an incredible blend of empathy, insight, and unwavering support. Her ability to understand and navigate my personal and professional challenges was nothing short of remarkable.
The impact of this coaching experience has been profound. I’ve seen tangible improvements in my professional achievements and personal well-being, but more importantly, I’ve gained a deeper understanding of myself and a clearer vision for my future. I feel equipped with the tools and mindset to navigate challenges with resilience and optimism.

Since I have been coached by Barbara, I have really changed my life for the better. I have moved jobs and this has increased my confidence. I established through the coaching how unhappy I was with my life due to feeling undervalues in my last job after being there for 5 years. I am happy now with my own self, and I feel comfortable with me, which has been a massive learning curve. I can see a real future ahead of me both career-wise and personally. Thank you so much Barbara!

I have worked with Barbara several times now, in delivering intercultural business briefings for major financial services corporations. Barbara's breadth of experience and depth of knowledge in business and intercultural working are impressive and are coupled with a keen mind and the ability to listen well. Barbara also has strong facilitation and coaching skills, and she brings a remarkable deftness and intuition in her work with clients from a wide range of business and social backgrounds. I strongly recommend Barbara.

The on-line coaching was a very helpful and enjoyable experience. I liked the use of different colours to highlight dialogue. Although we had never met in person, the coaching sessions went extremely well thanks to Barbara’s intuition and flexibility to follow my tone and moods.

Thankyou Barbara for the coaching you provided. I went in thinking that it was just another ‘box ticking’ exercise that was going to be very little value added and I came out of it educated and excited for my new adventure. Thank you for the first-class preparations both business and professional.
