About Me
Corporate Career
After decades of working in demanding professional roles in insurance and engineering, I reached senior management level. Despite the outward success, I found myself battling poor health and a deep sense of unfulfillment. It was a pivotal moment, and I realised I needed to redefine what the next stage of my life could look and feel like.
Finding my way back to health
Living with M.E./CFS for 10 years was a profound challenge that reshaped my life in ways I never anticipated. When conventional medical avenues like the NHS offered no solutions, I began a personal journey of self-discovery and healing. Working with nutritionists, yoga teachers, holistic therapists, and mental health practitioners gave me valuable insights into how my lifestyle, mindset, and unresolved emotions were impacting my health. I also had to confront the grief and frustration of how illness had derailed the dreams I once held as a younger woman.
Turning Point
A transformative turning point came when I undertook a year-long Seasonal Yoga teacher training course. This experience deepened my understanding of the body’s responses to stress and ignited my curiosity about the scientific research into trauma and the mind-body connection. This led me to explore Internal Family Systems (IFS), a profoundly transformative form of therapy. Through IFS, I was able to process the lingering emotional wounds of my illness, recover from the PTSD it caused, and reconnect with a sense of purpose and possibility.
Additionally, I worked with a London-based clinic specialising in Chronic Fatigue, M.E., and Burnout. They offered a ground breaking training program that integrated therapy and coaching tools designed to meet the unique needs of each client. This comprehensive approach resonated deeply with me, as it aligned with my own belief in the power of tailored support.
A New Chapter
These experiences, combined with my own journey of navigating significant life transitions, inspired me to change direction entirely. I now specialise in helping women navigate the complexities of major life transitions, whether those are health challenges, career shifts, or personal transformations.
Using tools such as IFS, therapeutic coaching, EFT, NLP, hypnosis, and IFS yoga, I empower my clients to process their experiences, reconnect with their inner strength, and create a future that feels aligned and fulfilling.
Life's challenges can be a catalyst for profound growth, and I am passionate about helping women embrace this potential for transformation, offering them the support and tools they need to thrive not just for themselves, but for their families and communities as well.
