I have had the privilege to be a catalyst for and witness the transformation in some of the most amazing people on this earth. I am so grateful for everyone who has left a testimonial of their experience of working with me 🙏
Transformation Journey
Overcoming low self- and body-image and low self-confidence
“Before I started working with Rowan, my confidence was at one of the lowest points in my life. I was incredibly self-conscious about my body and spent so much time worrying about how I looked and how I was perceived by others. It affected the way I showed up in the world, the opportunities I allowed myself to take, and the way I valued myself.
Meeting Rowan and beginning my journey with The Forge genuinely changed the direction of my life.Rowan has this incredible ability to see the potential in people even when they can’t see it in themselves. From the very beginning, he created a space where I felt supported, understood, and never judged. Through his guidance, patience, and encouragement, he helped me challenge the negative thoughts I had about myself and slowly start to rebuild my confidence from the inside out.
What makes Rowan’s coaching so special is that it’s not just about advice – it’s about real support, accountability and helping you discover your own strength. Rowan truly listens and empowers you to see your own worth. He helped me shift the way I see my body, my self-image, and most importantly my belief in myself. Over time, I started to feel stronger, more comfortable in my own skin, and more confident in who I am.
The impact of that confidence has reached far beyond what I ever expected. Rowan helped me believe that I was worthy of happiness and connection, and because of that I found the courage to put myself out there in ways I never would have before.
In fact, I truly believe that if I hadn’t had Rowan’s guidance and the support during that time in my life, I may never have had the confidence to open myself up to meeting my husband. That alone shows just how life-changing this journey has been for me.
Rowan doesn’t just help people improve their lives, he helps them rediscover who they are and what they deserve.
I will always be grateful for the role Rowan played in helping me become a more confident, self-accepting, and happier version of myself. I cannot recommend them highly enough to anyone who is struggling with confidence, self-belief, or simply feeling stuck. Working with Rowan could genuinely change your life the way it changed mine.” L.A.
Leaving a toxic relationship and gaining indepence and the confidence to travel
“Before I worked with Rowan I felt very very insecure about myself and very incompetent, foremost when it came to travelling. I stayed at home all the time, feeling trapped in an unhappy situation that I couldn’t get myself out of.
Rowan made me realise that I’m able to figure out things on my own. That I can go where I want to. First with my car. I had never driven on a motorway before because I was scared to do so. But with the heartfelt encouragement from Rowan I became able to drive on my own about 1000 kilometers through Germany without losing my way for the first time. Then I even drove all the way to the Netherlands. I got even more brave and travelled with planes on my own. A thing I never thought I would ever do because I was so scared of flying. Also, I always thought I’d get lost when travelling on a train. But I got confident enough to find my way by train from Germany to England, even travel with the London Underground on my own, which before looked way too confusing to me.
All in all I gained so much self worth with his help, that I was able to move out of a toxic relationship that had lasted for almost thirty years. Rowan helped me to get out of a situation I didn’t think I’d ever get out of, gain my independence, get my own place and eventually find a new happy relationship. Through working with him I feel I have become a different person for the better.” D.S.
Chthonic Shadow Work
“Wow this was genuinely life changing! I had never done anything like this before and was quite anxious on what to expect, but Rowan created a really welcoming space and very clearly explained every step in the process. Although I had never worked in this way before, I liked that the sessions were really tailored to my needs and I didn’t feel we just had to follow a script. Rowan listened to what I wanted and worked that into the sessions.
The shadow work was hard! I had to confront some old scars that I didn’t realise were still affecting this much today. And seeing that I was using my perception of what other people might say as an excuse not to take the plunge and start my own business rather than having to deal with my own fears around it was definitely an eye-opener! It hasn’t made the decision any easier, but at least now I feel it is my decision and no-one elses. Also understanding that taking a risk, even if it doesn’t work out, isn’t failure was really important to me.
I would absolutely recommend this work to anyone who feels afraid to make a big decision in your life. Rowan creates a space to explore all sides of such a decision without judgement and also helps you see things in a different way.” K.M.
Silent Counselling
“Rowan is lovely and put me at ease throughout the process and I didn’t feel judged or foolish. I am very sensitive and don’t share my feelings easily but Rowan didn’t mind.” H.C.
“It felt really wonderful to work on my lack of energy and not being able to express my anger issues with Rowan. I can warmly recommend his work. He was completely tuned in to me and my body via video call and I felt completely understood. With his well thought through questions he helped me to understand my own body and feelings better and with his many techniques of healing mind and body he brought me big steps forward on my way of feeling more energized. I’m very grateful for his sessions.” D.S.
“Working with Rowan has given me a new understanding of myself. I feel more confident and much better equipped to deal with life’s challenges. Rowan is calm, understanding, empathetic, and has a wonderful ability to connect with your inner self. He creates a safe, supportive environment where you feel genuinely heard and understood. I would wholeheartedly recommend Rowan to anyone looking to better understand themselves and improve their wellbeing.” L.A.
