Working alongside Ange was the best investment I ever made for my personal growth and healing journey.

Ange not only provided a space for me to discover my power, but she also guided me through so much.

She gave me many useful tools to navigate the challenges I was facing and continue to face with ease and clarity. Ange's approach to working with me was genuine, honest, kind, and truly life-changing. I came away with a deeper understanding of who I am. I have realized my power, and I now see life with a new lens.

Angela Malakai's coaching and mentorship are truly remarkable.

At my lowest point, when I felt utterly lost, Angela extended her caring and genuine support, helping me find a way forward when I thought there was none.

She is not just a coach, but a compassionate soul who genuinely cares for her client's well-being. Angela's guidance has been invaluable, and her impact on my life is immeasurable. I'm forever grateful for her unwavering support and encouragement.

Angela helped me cut straight to the core of a belief that I had created as a kid.

I struggled to feel worthy in my work life.

Didn't realize the reason, felt like, was forever incapable of positions of responsibility was because of my well-meaning, 7-year-old self wanting to keep me safe. Now I can recognize when I am acting from her viewpoint, notice it is no longer my reality and I actually get to choose to show up powerfully. Thanks, Ange.

The workshop was awesome. I never felt uncomfortable once.

It was great to see people opening up in a safe environment that Ange created.

Thank you so much for today was amazing — honestly, it was so healing and I learned so much about myself. My only feedback would be that I didn't want it to end. I could've heard you teach all weekend! Ange, thank you so much for being you. You my friend are f*cking amazing.

Had a remarkable session with Angela on Thursday.

I was feeling in a funk, and very shut down before our session.

She kindly and gently extracted answers from goodness knows where inside my mind and then to hear my own words being echoed back to me through a different lens was an eye opener, all of a sudden, I could see more, I understand more. Unbelievably, by Friday morning — I received a new business opportunity. OMG. No words for that.

A comfort, a challenge, a wake up call, a call to be accountable, tools to be powerful, all in just 5 hours!

Attended the Women's Empowerment workshop with Angela Malakai.

I learnt so much about myself as a woman, in my life, in my power and to lean into where I can improve. Angela has a unique ability to challenge you in a judgement free space through humor and authentic teaching. I loved every minute of this workshop!!! If you have an opportunity to do this workshop in the future, I strongly encourage you to register.

Ange really helped me out and guided me to a better place.

Was in a bad space before speaking to Ange, never had help in the past so was nervous about speaking to someone.

But Ange really helped me out and guided me to a better place, which I couldn't have done without her help which I'm very grateful of. Would recommend to anyone seeking help or in need of someone to speak to who will take the time to listen to you. Cheers.

I am so grateful I came to see you, everything you do is in line with my beliefs and you have helped me climb out of the dark place I was in.

Over the years, I have seen many counsellors and psychologists, these people always managed to put enough bandaids on for me to continue to function at half power.

Recently, the universe decided it was time for me to get back to full power and brought me to you at Beyond Brave. In such a short time, I have found my voice, found happiness, and found my joy. My soul thanks you for your wonderful work and I encourage anyone reading this looking for that key to unlock your life energy to go see Ange, she will help you find your key. Thank you Ange, you are an amazing soul.

I walked away with a heap of knowledge and powerful tools to help me overcome some of the fears and self doubt that have been holding me back in my life.

I recently attended the Women's Empowerment workshop with Angela Malakai. It was an incredible day with a great group of women discussing some pretty confronting topics.

I highly recommend the workshop, and will definitely be attending future Beyond Brave events. 10/10.

She held the space for me and with her guidance, I safely went back to childhood trauma I had from the first time I felt this way.

I was feeling stuck and helpless before working with Angela.

We worked on it and at the end of the session, I knew I could choose differently now. I felt so empowered and clear after the session as I now know where it came from and how I can act differently now with intention and purpose if the feeling comes up again. I highly recommend her.

Angela is freaking AMAZING!!!

She has helped me out of a creative block, feeling unmotivated and taught me so much about trauma but also I have learned a lot about me.

I love her for so many reasons. She keeps it real, she's a mighty strong force, a fierce Pasifika woman and is honestly like having your own personal Oprah! Highly recommend working with her.

From the very first connection, her soft and genuine tone gave me a sense of trust and safety.

What touched me most was Angela herself. It became easy to open up to her about my struggles, and our one-on-one conversations were both healing and eye-opening.

In that short time, I felt truly seen, heard, and supported. I would wholeheartedly recommend Angela's coaching sessions to anyone who feels stuck or weighed down by life. If you're seeking clarity, healing, or simply a gentle but powerful push toward becoming who you are meant to be, these sessions can open that door for you. Sometimes it's the smallest, most practical tools—shared by someone who genuinely cares—that make the biggest difference. Thank you, Coach Angela, for walking alongside me in this journey of healing and self-discovery.

I learned about behaviours or reactions from my childhood, that don't serve me as an adult.

I'd been searching for ways to help break my bad habits when I saw a post on FB from Ange.

My initial thought was, yes I could use someone to give me some insight into what 'I'm doing wrong' and how I could improve my life. I wasn't expecting to learn about behaviours or reactions from my childhood, that don't serve me as an adult. This definitely was an eye opener for me! I think many people can benefit from her service, as I'm sure there are many like me, who still resort to childhood emotions and behaviours without realising they no longer serve us as adults.

Angela's speech felt deeply persona — perfectly attuned to my wavelength. It was a beautiful exploration of self-love, of truly honouring oneself with both grace and truth.

She spoke of time not as something to chase, but something to cherish... and of truth as a quiet, unwavering compass. Her apple analogy was particularly striking—a gentle yet powerful reminder that the love we consume shapes the life we experience. Positive love nourishes. Negative love depletes.

What stayed with me most was her invitation to "own tour space"—to stand fully in who you are without apology. And her phase, "small votes," a poetic reflection on what we choose to carry and what we must release.

Because ultimately, the world becomes your reflection. And life... should be lived in an overflow of love.

Angela,

Your talk was beautiful, engaging, and deeply moving. You have such grounded, authentic presence—it felt honest, real, and incredibly healing to witness.

Your style is so authentic, yet inspiring and uplifting. The balance is rare.

Your message landed strongly: Self-love throughh powerful message, self votes! Love it.

There were so many inspiring takeaways, but what I loved most was your authenticity—so grounded, so real, and so impactful.

Your voice, your story, and your presence are a gift.

Thank you for sharing it, You're going to help so many people.

Angela Malakai has the most beautiful heart.

She's raw, real, engaging, and healing. Her voice is so calm and has such a powerful message. I was so deeply moved by not only the story but the way she is able to articulate and put into words such deep and complicated emotions.

Thank you for being honest and sharing your gift!

Patrick Murphy


That was such a powerful story of loss and triumph.

Thank you for sharing and encouraging all of us. At any given moment any of us could find ourselves in such a situation.

With her question about love languages right at the start, Angela had me hooked.

The personal story she share, spoke to me and the importance of the self love rang true. Angela was engaging and I went home ready to put self love into practice.

Blanche Moskovici


Angela embodies a message of leadership what invites us to become the soul led leaders of our lives through self-love.

Her personal story of love and loss and self-healing after her younger brother Krissy took his life was a wake up call to choose to vote for ourselves as valuable and worthy of a life with purpose. Angela inspires us all to invest in ourselves despite any "but" thoughts arise.

Elle Wuthrich


Angela brings her lived experience through trauma in a way that is engaging and relatable to many others. She provides tools and resources to help people identify and deal with their trauma. Believe it or not, we ALL have it whether we know it or not. 

She's insightful and engaging as a speaker and holds space in a room where this topic can sometimes trigger people. She brings her expertise from a corporate world, a business woman, mother, sister and empath. 

I would highly recommend one to one coaching with Ange or having her speak at corporate events. You and your guests will thank her for it. 

Jenny Matano


I had the privilege of attending a Women's Wellness event where Angela was the main Speaker and facilitator. She brought a rare mix of authenticity, depth, and humour. She has a natural ability to connect with people, creating a space where I felt comfortable and challenged in the best way.

This event was not only insightful but also incredibly engaging - practical, real and delivered in a way that sticks with you. You can tell Angela genuinely cares about the impact she is making.

I highly recommend Angela for any MC or Speaking engagements.
