My Story

A Journey Through Trauma.

Trauma shapes us in ways we often don’t realise until much later. It creeps into our thoughts, relationships, and how we see ourselves. For a long time, I lived in survival mode, always bracing for the worst, making choices from fear. But there came a point when I knew I couldn’t let my past define me any longer. I chose to heal.

My journey hasn’t been easy. I’ve walked through pain I never thought I could face. I’ve unravelled old beliefs that kept me stuck and slowly found my way back to myself. It’s been a path of deep healing, growth, and learning how to live from a place of strength and peace rather than fear and shame.

Healing isn’t about pretending the past didn’t happen. It’s about honouring your story, understanding how it shaped you, and choosing who you want to be now.

With over 30 years as a coach, energy healer, and someone who’s lived through it, I’m here to support others on that same journey. I don’t offer quick fixes, I walk alongside people as they rediscover who they truly are.

You’re not broken. You’re becoming.

The Way I See It

Every day is an opportunity to grow, to learn, and to connect. Life isn’t about avoiding challenges; it’s about embracing them as stepping stones to something greater.

I believe that within each of us lies unique strengths, talents, and untapped potential, waiting to be discovered. When we commit to self-reflection and continuous growth, we unlock our inner power and create a life that is both meaningful and fulfilling.

For me, authenticity is everything. When we live in alignment with our values, we naturally attract the right people, opportunities, and experiences. Staying true to ourselves allows us to make a genuine impact in the world.

Connection is just as powerful as self-discovery. We are shaped by our relationships, and the bonds we build through empathy, kindness, and open-mindedness enrich not only our own lives but also those around us.

Above all, I believe in the power of gratitude and a positive mindset. When we focus on the present, appreciate what we have, and choose optimism, we find strength even in adversity. This shift in perspective allows us to overcome obstacles, find solutions, and cultivate joy.

The way I see it, life is about growth, authenticity, connection, and gratitude. When we embrace these principles, we unlock our full potential, not just for ourselves, but for the world around us.
