Charmaine Gilmour, New Insights certified VIP Life Coach
I have been blessed with many opportunities to learn, to experience diverse cultures and work with many people in a number of different industries. My journey has definitely been interesting.
I graduated with an Economics Honors degree from the University of Cape Town in the 80’s and not knowing what to do after that, decided that property would be a good bet as there seemed to be a lot of money in it! This is where my marketing career started. I worked in many industries including Retail, Credit, Education, Publishing and Online Gambling! I was also fortunate enough to travel the world and get a good insight into other cultures, their values and way of life.
When I look back, I don’t think I ever imagined my life to be what it is today. Amongst all this, there were times in my life when I was energized, happy, passionate and wanting more. I started to look more closely at these times and tried to identify what was different, why I felt so good: To do this, I needed to understand myself better and to understand what motivates me. After a lot of research, I discovered Life Coaching which is different to Counseling! This was the turning point for me.
Life coaching is for people who want more out of life but can’t find the answer to how to do it.
It is the most logical thing I have ever studied. My life, the past, the present and the future finally makes sense. It made such a positive impact on my life, that I am now a fully qualified Life Coach and am passionate about what I do. My head and my heart are now aligned and my life has meaning and purpose.
Everything you need to live the life you want is within you! Perhaps you have been side tracked along the way ? Or you feel stuck? Or afraid? As a New Insights Life Coach, I can show you how to get back on track and stay on track. It’s really simple and very exciting.

I have no doubt about leaving this testimonial for Charmaine Gilmour. I am studying towards my New Insights Certified Pro Live Coach and one of the requirements was to be coached by a New Insights VIP Life Coach. I went into this coaching with the idea that it would just give me a clear practical view on how sessions are run and perhaps help me understand some of the theoretical concepts I struggled with. And how wrong was I. This experience was so much more than this. Yes it met these expectations but it also met so much more. Charmaine didn’t just take me through the session to show me how it was done, she really expected me to do all the tasks fully and with meaning. And am I so glad that she did! I went in there knowing everything I needed to know about myself -well, so I thought. I quickly realised that I knew me on the surface very well but not what or who I really am. I have finished with the process and am now ready to coach people myself, not because I’ve been shown how to do it, but because I have been shown that it is my real life purpose and it’s something I am really meant to do which is pushing me even harder to be the best life coach I can be.
I am delighted to provide a testimonial for Charmaine Gilmour, an exceptional life coach who has expertly guided me through fifteen transformative sessions. Charmaine’s profound insights, combined with her unwavering dedication to my personal growth, have been nothing short of remarkable.
From the very beginning, Charmaine demonstrated the extraordinary ability to gain deep insights into who I am as an individual. Because of her individualised approach, I felt able to trust her and this created a solid foundation for the sessions ahead.
One of Charmaine’s most remarkable qualities is her patience. Throughout our sessions, she exhibited an incredible ability to listen attentively, even during moments of doubt and confusion. Her patience provided me with the assurance I needed to confront challenges with confidence, knowing that I had her unwavering support and guidance.
In these fifteen sessions, I have undergone a profound transformation, owing to Charmaine’s insight and guidance. I would recommend Charmaine to anyone looking for a compassionate, committed, and inspirational life coach . It has been immensely rewarding to be able to learn from her, and I sincerely appreciate the excellent influence she has made on my life.
Thank you, Charmaine!
I have been privileged to have been coached by Charmaine. It is important to be coached by someone whose own life has been transformed and can coach from the heart, with passion and dedication. Charmaine is authentic and only wants the best for her clients and see their lives transformed.
She is extremely professional, punctual, empathetic, very direct as well as super challenging. She has a knack of asking the right questions which is so vital for growth. I can see by applying the New Insights techniques in my own life how I have set goals as well as mega goals which I have never done before. It’s never too late to start setting goals and changing your life!
Thanks Charmaine, I really appreciate the time we shared. I highly recommend you to anyone who is looking to change their life! Best wishes in the future.
I extend a special thank you to Charmaine Gilmour who agreed to become my Life Coach at a time when it looked almost impossible that I will ever complete my studies as a certified life coach with New Insights. I enrolled in April 2021 and by January 2022, I had not started reading my modules or do any of the activities that form part of the certification process. Charmaine showed that she had faith in me to complete the studies when I had very little or no faith in myself to do so. She made me confront the things that had held me back from becoming who I really wanted to be for most of my life and helped me begin my journey of personal transformation. She did not only help me to get started, but she stayed with me throughout the journey until we finished our last of the fifteen coaching sessions.
Charmaine was able to make me understand what life coaching is all about and made me want to become a life coach more than I have initially realised. She was gentle when the need arouse and tough as nails when circumstances dictated so. She understand when I was not able to attend coaching sessions because of my family or personal circumstances and was always willing to reschedule. I always looked forward to my coaching sessions with Charmaine and I am going to miss the Monday evenings when we had our session. I have not only become more aware of myself and of the things that held me back from setting and achieving my goals but I believe I am going to become a great life coach because of the coaching and support that I received from Charmaine during the past nine months. I am very glad that I listened to my “inner voice” and choose Charmaine to be my life coach from the list that Bill from New Insights had given me. I must admit though, that I was extremely nervous during our very first coaching session because I was not sure if I had made the right choice. I was however, very relieved and thrilled after speaking to Charmaine during our first session in January (this year) and knew then that she was the right person to coach me. My only regret is I wish I had known about life coaching earlier in my professional life and that I wish I had known that there were life coaches like Charmaine Gilmour and coaching systems like New Insights.
To anyone who is looking to transform their personal and professional lives, please do not look any further. You have Charmaine Gilmour just a phone call away, and with her as your life coach, the sky is your only limit. Thank you Charmaine because I am now on track to complete my certification before the end of December 2022, three months ahead of the cut of period for me to do so. And not only will I be able to complete certification ahead of schedule, I have received excellent feedback from all my practice coaching clients about how good I have been as a trainee coach and I owe all these to Charmaine Gilmour. I will forever be grateful to her.
Charmaine has been an amazing coach through the Life coaching course with New Insights. I have been able to move through my action plan with some changes each week and have been confident in coaching clients as a trainee coach. I have made positive changes in my own life over the last few months and am extremely grateful for her time, support, honesty, kindness and mentoring. Charmaine shares valuable insights, provides clarity, and really has great questions to help your reflection process. Thank you for being a part of my life journey Charmaine.
Charmaine has been my mentor and Coach along my New Insights Life Coaching Journey. With this being new territory at this later stage of my life I found myself to be rather nervous at first, that was until my first contact with Charmaine. Her openness, enthusiasm, understanding and belief in what she does is infectious. I have grown hugely in the past few months and through my 14 sessions of coaching with Charmaine. The passion that Charmaine shares in what she does (and what she does so amazingly) is incredible. I found Charmaine to be so in tuned with what is important during the sessions, recognizing pinnacle moments and genuinely celebrating the achievements I have made during this journey. This has been THE most significant journey of my life thus far, some deep soul searching and many, many self discoveries. I am beyond grateful for my wonderful coach, Charmaine.
I am a Trainee Coach and have had the privilege of having Charmaine as my coach for the last 14 sessions. It has been an incredible, fulfilling and exciting journey and having Charmaine to guide me, clarify issues, and bounce ideas off, has been wonderful. Charmaine has so many great ideas and is always happy to share her wealth of knowledge. I love what I’m doing and am grateful to Charmaine and New Insights for providing me with this life changing opportunity.
If you are looking for a VIP coach to work with during your studies, I highly recommend Charmaine. She is amazing!
Her knowledge about the program is phenomenal and her experience with coaching helped me immensely with my practicals.
Every session she guided me through as a Trainee Coach as well as a Client. This had such a profoundly positive impact on my personal life. Not only did she help me develop as a trainee coach but also as an individual.
She made sure I understood the tools and techniques to the New Insights’ coaching program and also made sure that I apply them directly to my own life.
Charmaine kept me motivated, inspired and accountable to achieve what I have set my mind to. She is relatable, punctual and extremely caring.

I don’t think i would have done it with out her help. What a privilege to have had her as my Coach.Thank you Charmaine.Your a great coach to have had.
Coaching with Charmaine has been one of the most powerful and blessed experiences of my life.
Charmaine is extremely knowledgeable and knows the New Insights material by heart.
She truly kept me motivated, encouraged and inspired trough all 13 sessions. Charmaine is a good listener and her coaching skills is fantastic. In addition to just listening, Charmaine also helped to equip me with tools to make more productive, informative and successful decisions and these tools are also effective to deal with life’s challenges. Thanks to Charmaine, in only a few sessions, I had a clearer vision and more confidence in myself. Charmaine is a very gifted coach and mentor. Thank you Charmaine, for lighting the way and helping me find my life purpose.
As a trainee life coach with New Insights, I was appointed a coach to supervise and guide me during my training. Charmaine helped keep me motivated and contributed to my personal growth in a hugely significant way. Charmaine conducted fantastic sessions where I learnt so much about myself and people in general. I can confidently say that I view my life holistically and that my recovery time from bad situations is far quicker and the best part is that I have a clear understanding of what, why and how the situation came about and with the great tools and techniques that she has instilled in me, I am able to get the best end result. I cannot thank Charmaine enough for all her support and help in getting me to where I am today.
As a trainee life coach with New Insights, I was appointed a VIP coach to supervise me during my training. Charmaine is a true ambassador for New Insights.

Her approach is logical and calm and she is able to keep the focus on what is needed without distraction or drama.

Charmaine is a remarkable person and coach.
This process has been life changing, challenging, and worth every minute. Charmaine has an amazing insight, constantly adding value, enabling me to apply the lessons and changes to my everyday life.
I would recommend the coaching process to everyone. Taking positive steps towards changing your life, while having the support of an amazing coach like Charmaine, to challenge you when needed, cheer you on in the tougher times and acknowledge you for your achievements – is amazing.
I am grateful for the change in my life, and the constant encouragement from Charmaine which ensured that what seemed impossible at first, quickly became not only a possibility but a reality.
I started seeing Charmaine just after Christmas to get my life back on track. Through my sessions with her I realised how important specific goals and milestones are. When I looked back then seeing how far I have come is eye opening. Thanks for the guidance Charmaine
As my supervisor coach, Charmaine guided me towards setting up my milestones as to achieve my New Insights Pro Life Coaching certification in a reasonable time.
I appreciated her guidance, support and willingness to listen when I struggled with issues that came out of my own sessions with my practice clients.
I appreciated her persistent focus during the sessions to keep the discussions moving forward and staying on track.
She also provided valuable insight and support around some personal issues I raised, which were causing me some stress in my personal circumstances.
In the end, the highlight for me that Charmaine helped me to clarify and define my life purpose.
I’ve enjoyed the great priveledge to have Charmaine Gilmour as my Supervisor Coach. She took every step of my journey of self discovery with me, and coached me to be the best of who I can be. She helped and assisted me all the way to make sure I qualify as a Life Coach myself, and thanks to her guidance and knowledge I am sure I will be a great coach myself. I have learned so much from her and see her as my own personal guardian angel that I know I can contact if I ever need great advice. She definitely left her mark in my life and in my future and I will never forget her. She is definitely a coach that I will recommend to anybody that needs a coach, a friend and a mentor. Thank you Charmaine for Being great, I am very honored to have you as part of my life.????
I am grateful and blessed to have had Charmaine as my Supervisor Coach. She turned out to be a true partner in my journey to certify as a coach myself, encouraging me through the hard parts and celebrating the achievements. I appreciated the patience and understanding she showed in sticking with me when my enthusiasm was not all it should have been. I valued her structured and professional approach to our sessions. The advice she gave me was invaluable in my progression as a Trainee Coach, but even more importantly, she provided me with the tools to live a more successful and purposeful life. She has made a profound difference to me on both a personal and a professional level, which is why I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a life coach. Thank you Charmaine.
Charmaine is a really excellent coach who knows how to get the best out of her clients. While I enjoyed our sessions and experienced enormous personal growth, the one thing that I would particularly like to comment on is Charmaine’s willingness and preparedness to hold you accountable and to keep on asking the hard questions. To be coached by someone who is able to perceive an excuse and who doesn’t quit until you too see the excuse for what it is, is an enormous privilege and one for which I will always be grateful. I can only hope to bring that same level of commitment to my clients.
Thank you Charmaine.
Charmaine is such an easy person to speak to and to really open up too, as she is so warm, friendly and personable. It is extremely easy to be honest with her and to express your emotions, opinions and feelings toward things – once you start talking you kind of find it hard to stop. She is highly motivating, inspiring, understanding and supportive. I have grown hugely in so many ways since the beginning of my coaching with her. Her guidance has allowed me to get the most out of my situations, to move forward and to continue to achieve my full potential. I am a completely different person now, and only for the better. I am so much more confident in everything and in how I handle situations – my stress levels have decreased hugely due to this as now I only feel guilty or bad about something when I really have reason too – I take responsibility where needed and don’t where its not. I have taken so many things away from this incredible experience that will continue forever in my life, as what Charmaine teaches you becomes a way of life and a way of thinking, feeling and being, but one thing that Charmaine says often and really stands out to me is – If you not working towards your own goal, you working towards somebody else. This will always remain with me and remind me how important goals are. I would strongly recommend Charmaine to anyone wanting to improve their life, achieve their goals, better themselves or even just want to grow in anyway possible. Thank you so much Charmaine, I am now so content and happy with who I am as a person and always amazed at what I am capable of if I put it out into the world and work towards it – this is such a gift, especially at such a young age. A lot of people don’t achieve this in a lifetime.
Thank you very much to charmaine, who has taught me the skills and tools required to achieve great things in my life. She passed on her wisdom and experience in every session in conjunction with the theory to allow me to realize my true potential. She motivates and is always there to guide you throughout the process to help you get the most out of life. Through the sessions I have achieved great milestones in my life and for that I am very grateful. I have already recommended her to all my friends and family.
Thanks for helping me realise my life’s purpose. It was an extremely satifying moment of absolute accomplishment when I realised recently that I am part of the 0.01% of people in the world knowing what their life purpose is and you was the best possible chearleader and coach I could ever have asked for to motivate me through this journey. Your assistance and support can’t be measured. Your friendly and warm personality is priceless. Looking forward to staying in contact.
Charmaine I want to say thankyou very much for mentoring me and making this journey a pleasent one I tried to do it on my own and I could not come right on my own I am so happy that I chose the pro option . It is so much easier with a mentor to guide you and show you how you can learn how easy it is and simple learn from someone that has more experience than you .You made it ssimple and easy thankyou I have learnt alot from you love you my mentor Be blessed always
Charmaine has been my supervisor coach for the past year while I’ve been completing my Life Coaching Certification. She has been phenomenal. I have thoroughly enjoyed being coached by her. I’ve appreciated her positive attitude and her ability to get me to dig really deep in terms of my development and growth. She has helped me to recognise my strengths and to acknowledge my challenges (and work on them). More than this, she provided a safe space for me to explore myself and held me accountable for the changes I desired to bring about in my life. I would recommend Life Coaching to anyone wishing to explore their life’s purpose and I would recommend Charmaine at any time to be the coaching partner you choose to work with.
Charmaine was appointed my coach after I decided to develop my skills as a life coach. She assisted me in working through the theory and in addition I had 13 coaching sessions with Charmaine. To say the least, this was an experience I will never forget, a positive one. Charmaine is extremely knowledgeable and her life coaching skills are superior. She understands the process and makes it relevant to your life. One of the most difficult things for anyone to achieve in life is for them to understand their life purpose, Charmaine helped me to understand mine and for that I can only say thank you to Charmaine, this would not have been possible if it were not for her dedication, her knowledge and her skills, but above all for her kind nature and her determination to understand her clients and their true and deepest emotions, beliefs and values.
