Success Stories
Real stories from real people who transformed their lives
"I had some training and support with Sandy Johnston in the Key to Be Free support Services through my NDIS package. Sandy and I quickly formed a strong rapport and she helped me with whatever I needed at the time. She was very understanding and knowledgeable about problems I was experiencing whether it was regarding my accommodation, finances, mental health or family struggles. Sandy was a really supportive coach when I needed it and I would recommend her to anyone looking for one."
Kay M.
NDIS Client
"Sandy brings a wealth of lived experience to her work, and balances supporting her clients with grounded, practical approaches to progressing forward, while also providing holistic strategies. Sandy has been instrumental in supporting me through a particularly challenging time in my life, and I'm very grateful for her incredible ability to help me sort through things and hold space for my experience. I appreciate that Sandy has been able to hold space for me, being knowledgeable, empathetic, wise and practical, all at once!"

"Sandy's not just a run-of-the-mill coach. Sandy is so sincere and loving and keeps you focused, inspired and accountable. She also let's you work at your own pace. I wish I had met Sandy earlier in my life. When feeling overwhelmed she helps you keep focused. There's so much information out there it's easy to get lost in the frenzy of overload, she keeps it simple! She can keep you focused on where to keep your focus and what to work on!"

Instead it feels like just a deeply engaging conversation with a friend who understands you completely. She has a very keen eye for detail and manages to bring up the right information at the precise time for the desired breakthrough."
