Why I Do What I Do
I’ve seen, time and time again, that most problems stem from one core belief: “I’m not good enough.”
When you dissolve that belief, you open the door to resilience, purpose, satisfaction, and joy.

You can live with joy, purpose, and strength.Step into your power & Let Go of Doubt. Because you were never meant to play small.
You can say, “I Am Confident.”And I’d be honoured to guide you there

My Journey of Confidence Cathy Barrow
At the age of 28 in 1989, I enrolled in the first-ever Certificate IV in Fitness & Aerobics at Box Hill TAFE. I knew nothing about aerobics—except that I loved to dance. At the time, I was in an unhealthy marriage, struggling with low self-esteem, drinking too much, and likely suffering from undiagnosed depression. I didn’t like myself much, but I loved my kids and knew I had to make a change—for them and for me.That course was the beginning. I quit smoking (because I couldn’t keep up in class!) and started rebuilding my physical and mental health. When the final exam came around, I was terrified. We had to choreograph and lead a full aerobics class. I wasn’t confident in my abilities, so I leaned into something else—personality. Dressed as Frank-N-Furter from The Rocky Horror Picture Show, in a black bra, stockings, and a g-string stuffed with a sock, I gave it everything I had.I passed—not on technique, but on presence and personality. That moment taught me a powerful lesson: confidence can come before competence. Sometimes, you have to fake it till you make it—and eventually, the confidence becomes real.Over the next 35 years, I taught thousands of women (and some men) in aerobics, aqua fitness, and wellbeing. I watched women transform—from shy and self-conscious to glowing with confidence in crop tops and g-strings. Exercise didn’t just build their bodies—it built their self-worth.After leaving that toxic relationship, my health and happiness improved dramatically. My environment changed, and so did the way I treated myself—and others
At the age of 49 I enrolled in the Certificate 1V in Life Coaching in Melbourne. This was a year long course and was really helpful to me personally as although I was fit and healthy I still had challenges mentally dealing with family issues 7 I guess emotional regulation & productivity. I was getting tired of teaching fitness and needed a break. The big takeaway for me was that I learned” I had a choice as to how I respond to a situation” Logical sensible but something a lot of us do not want to do. Easier to blame someone or something. Talking about confidence. I did not feel confident enought to coach at that stage and I reflect now that I would have been confident if I had just ploughed on instead of doubting myself. I did however write a book on how to find a job after becoming unemployed. The Life Coaching course was to serve me well in my next career.
At the age of 53 in 2012 I enrolled in Certificate 1V in Training & Assessment. I was used to leading large groups and was pretty confident in front of them and thought I could be a good teacher. Funny how things turn out s at school I did not like my teachers and spent most of my time in the corridora. I shifted focus and began teaching vocational training to unemployed adults through a nonprofit in Geelong for 5 years. My first group was made up of 28 students, aged 18 to 55—all affected by mental health challenges, physical disabilities, or trauma. They were dealing with poverty, addiction, and deep self-doubt.Goal setting wasn’t the answer. They didn’t need a motivational speaker—they needed someone to see their worth. I helped them reconnect with who they used to be—before life knocked them down. Like Karen, who had slept in her car for two years after a breakdown. Through our work, she remembered her value as a mother, a grandmother, a person. She regained confidence and found part-time work as an admin assistant.These transformations weren’t miracles. They were the result of rebuilding confidence—step by step.
in 2014 at the age of 56 I pivoted and enrolled in the only Australian Accredited Certificate 1V Course in Hypnotherapy I was really interested in the mind – body connection especially after doing my Life Coaching Course at 42 and using some of those skills on my unemplyed adult students. I wanted to study further the way our subconscious runs our lives with old programs of negative – unhelpful behaviours embedded there for life. Hypnosis was the means the process to unravel these programs – delete them. Replace them with new positive thinking, behaviour & habits. It was fascinating to me and It did not worry me at all that I was older because I was confident in my ability to learn. Fast forward 10 years to now and I have very much enjoyed helping thousands of clients Quit Smoking. Lose Weight, Get Over a Fear or Phobia , Reduce thier Anxiety & Pain many more issues. Now I look forward to helping you become confident with this program I am Confident- combining Hypnosis, Coaching, Fitness, Good Nutrition, Massage & Yoga.
Its never too late to develop confidence and learn new skills. In the last 3 years I completed my Certificate 111 in Fitness Instruction the oldest in the class. I became Lifeline Crisis Volunteer & just finished my Diploma Level 5 In Teaching English as A Second Language. Lifelong Learning has made me more confident. All you need is to have that desire to become more confident, & a willingness to learn new skills . Lastly you need to find really good teacher or mentor who has walked in your shoes.
