I am an experienced coach, a certified breathwork facilitator and an IFS (Internal Family Systems) informed therapist, I have developed powerful processes that connect us with the truth of who we are, and what is possible, and transform the unconscious reasons why we resist living a life that is in alignment with our soul.
Through my writing, events, group programs and 1:1 work, I have touched thousands of people’s lives.
I am a published author of books on Mindfulness, and have been featured in leading publications such as Psychologies, Publishers Weekly and Top Sante.
The inside out approach
I learnt that in order to move forward and stop feeling sabotaged by fear and self-doubt, I had to do the inner work that was needed.
For me, this initially came through psychotherapy, mindfulness and shamanic work. Several years ago I discovered the power of breathwork and somatic healing which was so transformative in supporting me to stand in my power and release early childhood trauma, that I chose to train as a facilitator and this now forms a large part of my work.
One of my favourite quotes is from a speech given by Marianne Williamson: “The purpose of life is to give birth to who we truly are. By transforming ourselves we transform the world.”
I believe that each one of us has a unique contribution to make and in fulfilling our potential we not only become happier and more fulfilled in ourselves but we change the world in our own unique way.
I know that we are all wounded on some level and have fear and self-doubt that keep us small. I also know that when we choose to embrace all that we are and face our fears, it is possible to create a life of freedom, abundance and contribution.
