About Me

When launching my business in 2025, I was lucky enough to have lived many lives. I had followed the traditional path of education and completed my degree in 2013 despite having a late diagnosis of dyslexia. In the past 17 years, I've been poor, I've been wealthy. I've been lost, and I've been successful. I've been obese, underweight, and everything in between. I've been single for years, and I've been engaged to be married. I've lived in a small seaside town and on a tropical island in the Bahamas. I've struggled with alcohol, and I'm now three years sober (and counting).

 

From the outside, my life often looked like a success story; but there was one recurring theme throughout all of this…Wherever I went, however much I achieved, I still took myself with me. Throughout all of this, my relationship with myself was so negative that happiness was rare and fleeting, and it was never long before I was off chasing the next thing I thought would make me happy. The place, the man, the party, the food, the money, the body- not taking a moment to consider that I couldn’t hate myself into loving myself.

 

I was convinced that if I just worked harder, achieved more, looked better, or pushed myself a little further, I'd finally feel like enough and be happy and like myself. 

 

After hitting rock bottom at 30, I knew something had to change; this is where I discovered the simple (not easy) concept of self-love in a book I was reading. So I set about changing my life using this concept of self-love and compassion. After all, bullying myself wasn’t working! 

 

I made the bold choice to, moment by moment, ask the question ‘How would I do this, if I loved myself?’ (And trust me, I didn’t at the start). What would I eat? What time would I go to bed? How would I move my body? How would I speak to myself? What would I wear? How would I spend my money? Who would I spend my time with?

 

Now don’t get me wrong, it was a long and challenging journey. There were lots of tears, and big shifts in my life, but it was the best and most powerful thing I’ve ever done. So much so that I turned it into my life's purpose to spread this message, supporting people to foster a better relationship with themselves. Using the knowledge I already had from my Personal Training qualification,  I also got my Diploma in Psychology and Counselling, my Yoga Teaching Certification, and studied Neuro Linguistic Programming techniques to support others in facilitating lasting positive change.

 

In my coaching sessions, I use an integrated approach, using self-discovery conversations and turning them into actionable practices such as movement, journaling, acts of self-love, nutritional changes and mindset shifts. The self-discovery helps you uncover limiting patterns and beliefs, and the action provides a feeling of control, hopefulness and forward momentum.
