HELLO,

IT'S LOVELY TO SEE YOU HERE!

Let me share with you a bit about my story …

I have experienced high levels of stress and overwhelm, burnout and health issues linked to stress over many years which ultimately led to me having a life changing accident. I know first hand what it feels like, the impact it has on all aspects of your life and how it can feel impossible to overcome.

I have managed businesses since I was 20; always driven, high achieving, developing new and better ways of working. I did and still do thrive on making a positive impact on peoples’ lives. The problem was my way of creating success was faulty; I was working long hours, unable to turn off from my work or business, I was putting other peoples’ needs before my own and I was not looking after my needs or making enough time for ‘fun’ in my life. I thought I was superhuman, but I wasn’t, no one is.

For me it came at a huge cost. I had pushed and abused my body and mind over many many years then in 2018 I suffered a life changing injury that damaged my spine when I hit a wall (quite literally). Everything changed for me overnight. It was an accident that could have been avoided if I wasn’t operating in such a prolonged heightened level of stress; inhibiting my ability to think clearly and make wiser decisions.

Despite the physical pain and my inability to do quite a lot of things I previously took for granted, I still pushed on through. I had 2 successful businesses and was just starting my third and I did not want to let them go, putting myself under a lot of additional stress. Then the pandemic hit and not only did I take my in-person business online, I also supported many others to do the same. It started suffering heart issues, I could no longer ignore, I needed to stop and take notice of what my body was telling me. That was my final wakeup call!

I sold my businesses and took time out to look after ME and retrain as a coach, discovering so much about myself along the way. I am a ICF Accredited Coach (International Coaching Federation), certified, accredited and a member of the gold standard in coaching. I have also gone on to complete further training since enabling me to specialise in embodied transformation and working with the nervous system.

My Approach

I work with the intelligence of the whole body, not just mindset. My approach includes nervous system regulation from the very latest research on Polyvagal theory along with the latest Neuroscience research on embodied transformation. I’ve created my own unique transformational approach Calmly Thriving®️ working with the nervous system and the intelligence of the whole body to enable greater wisdom and embed long lasting change.
