ABOUT US

Our Story

We’re Jarrod and Anessha, a husband and wife team based in Nelson, New Zealand. Together, we run AJ Reset & Rise, a private coaching practice built on care, integrity, and thoughtful support.

Anessha leads all coaching work. Jarrod supports the business behind the scenes so everything runs smoothly.

Anessha – Life & Wellness Coach

Kia ora, I’m Anessha. I’m an ICF certified Life & Wellness Coach and a licensed Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) trainer, with over ten years of experience working with people from a wide range of backgrounds.

I’ve supported clients across New Zealand, India, Tonga, Samoa, Germany, the USA, the Maldives, and Australia, and have lived and worked in both India and New Zealand. This experience has shaped a culturally aware, grounded way of working with people across different cultures, ages, and life stages.

My approach is holistic and practical. I work with the whole person rather than focusing on isolated issues or labels, and I value clarity, steadiness, and respect in every session.

Outside of coaching, I love travelling, Latin dancing, and cooking.

Jarrod – Operations and Business Support

Jarrod is originally from the Kāpiti Coast. He brings extensive experience in leadership, sales, and marketing, and manages the operational and business side of AJ Reset & Rise, including systems, finances, and bookings.

He works behind the scenes to ensure everything runs smoothly and professionally.

Outside of work, he enjoys fishing, travelling, and gardening.

Our Values

Manaakitanga – care, kindness, and respect
