About Me

My journey began in 1986 when I owned and managed 19 Discount Variety Stores for 13 years. During that time, I focused on developing and training my teams, and it was then that I discovered my desire to serve and contribute to others. As an employer, I went above and beyond to support people with disabilities by providing a modified workplace that supported their independence.

While others may have viewed my life as meaningful and fulfilling, I struggled with feeling like I had not achieved enough or that I was not enough. Despite encouragement from those around me, I couldn’t shake these feelings.

I was a young mother and love motherhood. I had my own grief and loss throughout this time as my first son had died 9 days after birth. I was still recovering from my own childhood trauma in my family of origin, including sexual abuse and living with a parent who had alcoholism.

It was during the turmoil of my 19-year relationship with the father of my children that I began to work on myself. I often felt like I was playing a role, and not showing up as my authentic self. Recognizing that my needs were not being met, I made the difficult decision to leave the relationship.

Through my own personal growth journey, I have developed a deep understanding of the human experience and the importance of being the best version of myself, but also supporting individuals to be their best selves. If you are looking for someone who truly cares and is committed to helping you achieve your goals, look no further. Let’s work together to help you reach your full potential.

My Transformation Journey

I realized that I needed help and guidance. Like many people, I tried counselling and psychology and that didn’t seem to remedy the pain, grief, and trauma I had experienced. Some of this helped me reflect but overall, this didn’t work for me or change the internal dialogue that held me back. I suffered from generalised anxiety and lack of confidence.

As I started to believe in me, I pursued a bachelor’s degree in social science and began working with young people who had been ordered by the court to attend a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program. This experience ignited a passion within me for working with children, young people, and families. For the past 21 years, I have been making a difference in the lives of many.

In 2015, I discovered the power of coaching as an antidote to stress, fear, and suffering, and a key to the transformation our hearts long for. I have utilised the relevant coaching skills I learnt over my 5 years of training to complement the other modalities in which I now have expertise.

At this time, I sort other complementary interventions to help me overcome my anxiety and other addictions that were in the way of me creating the life I truly desired. Time Line TherapyTM and Hypnotherapy was the answer for me and what I began to realise was how these intervention took so little time to create change.

In 2022 – 2024 I am now Certified as a Master Practitioner in Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP); Time Line TherapyTM and Hypnotherapy.

What I’ve Learned

Through my own personal growth journey, I have learned that the sooner we embrace our authentic selves, the more connected we become to ourselves and others. Today, I live a life that is fully aligned with my values and my purpose of helping others unleash their inner potential and reach their dreams.

I believe that each of us has unique resources within ourselves to create a fulfilling and happy life. By identifying and embracing our values, we gain clarity on what drives us and what is truly important to us. Our values serve as a compass, guiding us towards choices that are aligned with our truths.

If you are ready to embark on your own journey of self-discovery and want someone to guide you through the process, I am here to help. Let’s work together to help you connect with your authentic self, live a fulfilling life, and reach your true potential. Contact me today to get started.
