My Story
I had a tough childhood and slipped into drugs and alcohol at a very young age. I was anorexic, bulimic, depressed and suffered terrible anxiety and cripplingly low self-esteem. Finding comfort in my addictions, I spent my time functioning badly or in total isolation. I simply couldn’t handle life.
In my mid-twenties, I hit rock bottom and couldn’t continue. I decided something had to change. No matter what it took I was going to transform my life. Somewhere deep down inside I knew I was here for much more. I tried different forms of therapy but felt no one ‘got it’, that no one really understood me. So I decided to start studying and find a way to help myself.
From the day I made that change I haven’t looked back. Over the last 20 years, I’ve studied all over the world and along my path I have come across people desperate for advice and guidance just as I had been years before. They turned to me asking for help. Having been there myself, I found it easy to appreciate the battles they were fighting. More and more people approached me and it became evident my coaching practice had to be set up.
These days I grab life with both hands and believe strongly that anything is possible. I believe that we can do or be or have anything we want once we truly manage our mind. Each experience from my own story taught me so much. I am grateful for every single lesson and now get to give back.
I began my formal studies at the exclusive Bennett Stellar University in Florida, USA. I went on to train further in the ‘Austin Method’ of Advanced Structured Hypnotherapy in London, England and then continued my studies at the prestigious Life Coach School. I also trained as a Health Coach at the IIN. As important as these formal qualifications are my life experience and intuition are key to my success. I am an advocate of the works of Byron Katie, Eckhart Tolle, Marianne Williamson and Dr Wayne Dyer.
Having trained extensively in a number of different techniques from Advanced Structured Hypnotherapy, NLP and CBT (essentially methods of changing thought processes to eliminate negative behaviour) to life coaching, weight coaching and health coaching, I work with clients from all over the world who feel stuck, unable to change patterns of behaviour or move forward with issues and problems.
I use a variety of tools and techniques, unique to each client, to help them release anything and everything that is holding them back so they get free and feel fabulous. I help people help themselves.
