MY STORY
“This above all, to thine
own self be true”
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
Wind back the clock and you will find a very different version of me...
One stuck in her mind, her inner world.
​
Outwardly successful, driven and motivated but inwardly an anxious, procrastinating, perfectionist who felt that she was never quite good enough, no matter how hard she tried. So disconnected from her true self that she didn’t even know what that looked like, or what she really wanted.
​
Fast forward to now... and you will find a peaceful, happy, excited and very free more authentic version of me, comfortable in my own skin, open, confident and grounded.

Read on to find out more about the journey I went on …
​
In my mind ...
​
-
I spent much of my life striving to be perfect, seeking approval, and avoiding criticism or confrontation
-
Despite extensive training, achievements and incredible feedback, I could feel like an imposter in my job, doubting my intelligence and ability. I could overthink, overwork and yet regularly feel it was not enough
-
Constant self-doubt, apologising for myself and had a need to be liked and respected
-
I often felt anxious but kept it to myself​​
-
I felt disconnected to the real me. I had forgotten who I was and what I wanted or needed
​
In my body ...
​
-
I hated my body, spending years dieting and exercising relentlessly to improve its appearance and my self-esteem. Despite the efforts, I still struggled to look at myself in the mirror, and would focus on the parts I disliked the most
-
My gut health was not good! Constipation had become the norm to me, cramps, bloating, intermittent heartburn
-
Regularly catching bugs from my kids, feeling tired, experiencing sleep issues, acne, brittle hair, and nails. Despite what I thought was a healthy lifestyle, my body and mind didn't feel as healthy as it "should"
​
​​
​
Roll forward to NOW… having done the work, freed my mind, revolutionised my nutrition, gut health and daily practices …
​
-
I know my own worth and embrace my uniqueness
-
I feel genuinely happy in my own skin, and I understand my own mind
-
I’m no longer at the mercy of what others make think and no longer apologising for myself or trying to get others to like me
-
I feel a real connection myself and I can genuinely say I love and respect myself
-
I’m comfortable being open, speaking my truth and being seen, as I am ​
-
I cut myself slack, allowing myself to be human. To have emotions, feelings and reactions without automatically assuming that there is something wrong with me or that I need to do better
-
I am able to really listen to others because I am no longer lost in a narrative in my mind
​
-
I love and respect my body and I feel confident in how I look
-
Physically… my gut health is awesome! Skin is best it has been in decades! I enjoy restorative sleep (when my kids let me), consistent energy throughout the day, and increased resilience to illness.
Our deepest fear
​
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us
You playing small does not serve the world
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so
that others don’t feel insecure in your presence
We were all meant to shine as children do
It is not in some of us, it is in all of us
When we allow our light to shine,
we unconsciously allow others to do the same
As we are liberated from our own fear…
our presence automatically liberates others
Adapted from a poem by Marianne Williamson
I'd love to help you get
out of your own way and
really LIVE your life!
Life is a journey and I don’t pretend to know all the answers, however I now recognise every trigger, every challenge is opportunity to let go and to grow.
Life IS happening FOR you and not TO you.
I have walked the walk and I know what it takes to break free. I am HERE to help YOU do just that!
“He who knows others is wise. He who knows himself is enlightened”
Lao Tzu
