You have the power to create the most incredible life for yourself but it starts with you doing the internal work first to get the external results.
My own personal transformation journey began when I found myself navigating post-natal depression, feeling overwhelmed by the demands of running my recruitment business while caring for a baby, a toddler, and my mother who had Alzheimer’s.
Freedom and flexibility were significant motivations for me when I started the business, which was 15 years ago now. I envisioned a business that would enable me to seamlessly balance my personal and
professional life while providing exceptional service. However, this vision shattered during this overwhelming period in my life. I felt an unrelenting sense of guilt whether I was at home with my children or at work. This negative mindset permeated every aspect of my life, eroding my confidence as a mother,
daughter, wife, and leader. Internally, I battled anxiety, constant stress, self-doubt, and feeling like a massive failure.
Initially, shame prevented me from seeking help. It was only when I reached burnout and hit rock bottom, and my marriage was on the verge of ending, that I began to explore traditional therapies like counselling and CBT, accompanied by antidepressants. However, these approaches didn’t provide the results I sought. I then started exploring alternative methods like NLP, hypnotherapy, meditation, and mindfulness, which resonated with me more. Still, I wasn’t achieving the lasting change I desired.
Tragically, my mother passed away, and I found myself stuck in grief. A chance encounter at a friend’s party introduced me to Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT, aka Tapping), a practice I initially regarded as
unconventional. However, having exhausted all other options, I decided to give it a try. The impact was profound, and I started experiencing shifts I had never felt before. This ignited a spark within me and opened up a whole new world.
Inspired by these transformations, I began applying these techniques with my family. For instance, my eldest son, who was 6 at the time, experienced a negative incident at school with his teacher and became very distressed about going to school, so I started applying these techniques with him. Witnessing his rapid emotional relief filled me with excitement.
Motivated by this success, I delved into extensive training with some of the world’s leading experts, exploring various modalities such as EFT, NLP, Matrix Re-imprinting, and stress management. The more I learned, the more I realised that sharing these insights was my true calling. I then became a certified Transformation Coach, integrating the knowledge and experience from my previous endeavors into a unique approach that draws from a diverse range of tools and practices. I firmly believe in using only what I have personally tested and found effective.
One crucial realisation I’ve had on this journey is the profound connection between the mind and body. Mere positive thinking and mindset work are insufficient for facilitating lasting change. To transform our lives, we must address the root causes and reprogram our subconscious beliefs by working with the body, addressing not only thoughts but also the nervous system and the emotions held within. This realisation marked a turning point that brought about profound changes in my life. This shift resulted in profound personal growth. I’ve learned how to overcome my biggest fears. Public speaking was a HUGE one for me. I couldn’t even stand up and deliver a meeting to my team I had that much fear, but I learned how to calm my nervous system, create a sense of safety, and overcome fear, and this has amplified my happiness, resilience and wellbeing.
Understanding this vital connection between the mind and body has boosted my confidence, success, and willingness to take risks. Now, I feel more empowered than ever to pursue opportunities I previously deemed unattainable. It’s this perspective and my innate ability to see the untapped potential in others that truly excites me. I have a knack for recognising the greatness within individuals, even when they can’t see it themselves.
One of my biggest drivers is helping people to recognise that they aren’t alone in how they are feeling and that for anything to change, it all starts from within first. This transformation is my place of expertise.
There is nothing more fulfilling than witnessing the remarkable transformations of my incredible clients, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to be a part of their journey.
