Yvette Blanchard
Meet Yvette
I’m Yvette Blanchard, founder and head coach of The Art of Beautiful Thinking. I am an internationally certified coach, NLP Practitioner, and metaphysical coach with a degree in metaphysical theology.
My work is grounded in one central belief: the relationship you have with yourself shapes the way you live, love, lead, choose, create, and express who you truly are.
Most people were never taught how to have a healthy relationship with themselves. We were taught how to behave, achieve, keep going, be useful, and do what was expected of us. But many of us were not taught how to listen within, trust ourselves, honour what is true, or speak to ourselves with compassion and respect.
That is where my work begins.
Through coaching, personal growth education, NLP, and metaphysical understanding, I help people rebuild the relationship they have with themselves so they can live with more truth, self-trust, emotional clarity, inner peace, and authentic expression.
This is not about forced positivity.
It is about learning to meet yourself truthfully, understand the beliefs and patterns shaping your life, and begin making choices that feel honest, aligned, and deeply your own.
My Approach
My coaching is grounded, practical, and rooted in the understanding that personal growth honours the whole person — mind, body, and spirit.
At the heart of my work is the Authentic Self-Relationship Method — a three-stage coaching pathway designed to help you understand yourself, rebuild self-trust, live from your truth, and express that truth through purpose, contribution, and legacy.
The pathway includes:
The Authentic Life Blueprint
The foundational self-discovery stage. This is where we explore who you are, what you value, what is no longer aligned, and the beliefs or patterns that may be holding you back.
Your Authentic Self Blueprint
The deeper self-relationship and integration stage. This is where we strengthen self-trust, emotional honesty, intuition, forgiveness, life boundaries, authentic communication, and alignment across the key pillars of your life.
The Authentic Legacy Blueprint
The advanced expression and contribution stage. This is where you begin embodying your truth through leadership, purpose-led contribution, creativity, service, visibility, and legacy.
Through this work, I guide you to rebuild the relationship you have with yourself, understand the patterns shaping your life, and create a life that feels honest, aligned, and deeply your own.
My Background
My journey into this work began long before I became a coach.
I grew up in a domestic violence environment, and during that time I learned to go within for guidance. I did not have the language for it then, but something in me knew I needed an inner place I could return to — a place where I could listen, feel what was true, and stay connected to something deeper within myself.
That became the beginning of my personal and spiritual growth journey.
Over time, I came to understand that the relationship we have with ourselves is not optional. It shapes how we survive, how we heal, how we choose, how we love, how we lead ourselves, and how we create our lives.
Professionally, I spent more than 20 years in corporate and consulting environments, leading multidisciplinary teams, managing enterprise-level programs, and working across leadership, business consulting, relationship management, governance, and strategic delivery.
Alongside this, I continued to deepen my personal growth, spiritual development, and coaching education. I earned a degree in metaphysical theology, became an internationally certified Inspired Spirit Coach through Sandy Forster, founder of Inspired Spirit and award-winning author and entrepreneur, and trained as an NLP Practitioner.
This blend of lived experience, professional leadership, coaching, NLP, and metaphysical study allows me to support personal growth as a whole-person journey — mind, body, and spirit.
My Passion
I am deeply passionate about helping people come back into a more loving, truthful, and respectful relationship with themselves.
Not so they can become someone else.
But so they can stop living against themselves.
My work is for people who feel misaligned, disconnected, or aware that something in their life no longer feels fully true. It is for those who are ready to understand the beliefs and patterns shaping their life, rebuild self-trust, and begin creating a life that feels honest, grounded, and deeply their own.
Beyond my work as a coach, I cherish my relationship with my husband and love exploring the world through travel. I am fascinated by ancient history and metaphysics, and I believe deeply in the power of reconnecting with one’s true self.
I also love life’s simple pleasures — creating beautiful meals, tending to the garden, appreciating natural beauty, and enjoying cuddles with my beautiful cat, Archy.

There is an art to thinking beautifully.
Let's create a masterpiece together!


I am Catherine (Cat) Bell, innovator and lived experience coach and advocate. Founder, trained probation and parole officer with extensive experience in community services, support and case management.
As a coach and mentor, I get into the trenches and walk beside you to achieve your own best outcomes. I believe everyone is the expert in their own lives, I will help you identify and overcome the anchors and barriers that may be standing in the way of the life you desire.
In every service space I have ever worked, there is something missing, that is the genuine and authentic connection that a skilled coach can achieve, to be the resilient safe place where you can find your true north. I will stand in a place of unconditional positive regard and support the weight of your self doubt, then stay alongside as you find your voice, take back your power and choose your path forwards.
As your coach I will:
· Identify and challenge the negative core beliefs that are keeping you stuck
· Help you put your inner critic to rest, increasing your confidence and self efficacy to the point where you are able to cultivate inner calm in the midst of the storms
· Welcome your true self, no masking required if you are neurodivergent, you are safe to embrace every part of your identity and learn how to discover and embrace the super powers of your genius brain.
· Unlock the past abuse and voices that live rent free in your head, challenging the narrative, redefining your self in your own eyes and discarding unhelpful or negative personas you were told to adopt as a child.
· Accept and love your flawed self, seeing who you are, who you choose to be and adopting the mindset that you are a work in progress as we all are.
My background:
I started as a migrant with little skills and no family support, moving to Brisbane from the UK and working in various roles that finally lead to government positions. I married and moved to the Hunter Valley where I worked for a very short time in mining. This allowed me to come up with my invention “The operator adjusted mirror”.
I appeared on New Inventors on 2007, whilst recovering from the loss of my first daughter and almost my own life in 2006. I successfully worked in my business for 15 years, counting Rio Tinto, Anglo Coal, Whitehaven and Komatsu amongst my clients.
Two living children and one divorce later, I chose a career change and headed to University to study Social Science and Criminology, then headed into crim justice to work as a community corrections officer (probation and parole) Covid gave me a sea change to Tasmania and I have been living here ever since.
My tough childhood, living through the combined 6 marriages of my parents, surviving domestic violence in most of those environments and travelling alone between Australia and the UK from the age of 9 has given me a unique perspective and capacity for resilience.
I love to see the light of hope come back into a person’s eyes once they realise they can change their circumstances and take back their future. I will never give up on you and stand firmly in the belief there is always a way if you’re willing to do the work.
I am happily married to my wonderful husband and enjoy walking the stunning coast line of Tasmania with my dog, travelling, playing games with friends and cooking delicious food to share.
Nobody is perfect, normal is a setting on a washing machine but accepting yourself gives you peace in your heart forever.
