I experienced for many years the painful struggle of trying to access my inner confidence and to connect to my deep longing and purpose, not feeling able to live my life to full capacity. I remember the pain of the belief that all I could expect was to be looking after other’s needs as if I had no right to my own. I lived under the misconception that I shouldn't shine, in case it caused other people to feel bad about themselves. Oh I remember the shame and suffering in feeling inadequate and unworthy, keeping that shame a secret from others, even closest friends. The visceral experience of 'not being allowed' to break through the inner glass ceiling I subconsciously believed was my destiny was a strong force and burden to bear.
Through training as a Yoga Teacher, a Dance and Movement Psychotherapist, a Feminine Power Transformational Coach, and a Personal and Relationship Transformation Coach, those old beliefs have gradually transformed and I discovered an abundance, joy, deep inner connection in an empowering and embodied way. I am inspired and impassioned to help others to find their own North Star too, the reason for wanting to jump out of bed in the morning so that you are fully living your life the way you long to.
I have a deep inner well of compassion and warmth for my clients, and I create a safe space for you to explore what you need to. You may experience desperation to move beyond a lack of confidence, that sense of being stuck and discouraged, a longing to find purpose and meaning in life, the discomfort of feeling something is lacking. My connection to and embodied understanding of the Masculine and Feminine, qualities in us all to a greater or lesser extent, profoundly shape how I help clients to connect to their most authentic, embodied, vibrant selves. This also enables me to help men and women find these qualities so that they become much more deeply connected to how to be together, beautifully, lovingly, in relationship while still being free to be fully themselves.
I intuitively guide, feeling deeply into your struggles, empathising with and fully supporting you to grow and expand, seeing your greatness and feeling powerfully into your potential even when you cannot. As your coach and/or workshop leader I will inspire you to access your amazing empowered self.
I worked with disadvantaged people for many years, including special needs children and adults, long-term unemployed, and people with mental health issues. I became a professional Yoga Teacher in 2009 because I loved to inspire and help people to connect to their bodies and souls in a healthy way, and have since been teaching yoga via classes and workshops to hundreds (maybe more) people over the years. I then trained to become a Dance and Movement Psychotherapist, graduating in 2019, because I felt that even my beloved yoga teaching did not reach the full potentials which I saw, unrealised, in others.
From there, I trained for a year intensively to become a Transformational Coach, helping people connect and make their dreams a reality. Still, that didn't go quite deep enough for me so I another training to become a Personal and Relationship Transformation Coach.
Coaching has deepened my understanding and capacity and passion to facilitate and witness incredible, poignant and beautiful change for people.
