MY STORY

I have always been a people pleaser, a fixer and an overly caring person, even as a young child. Whilst I now know that these terms and labels can come from many different places and for many different reasons but ultimately... 
​I knew I had a good soul.

For as long as I could remember, I always wanted to be a Police Officer. I wanted to make a difference in this world, help others feel safe, help them feel like they mattered, I wanted to be a part of something bigger than me.

Something I came to realise, is a result of my own childhood experiences.

I took many detours on my journey to that 'dream' career, detours that had me meet some amazing people who I call friends; obtain a degree in psychology; work a number of different jobs, learn a number of different skills; introduce me to my amazing husband; took me travelling; and gave me so many life experiences.

I eventually decided it was time and I became a first response Police Officer and I must say not only did I love it, but I was pretty good at it too.​ It was everything I had hoped for, I felt like I was making a difference and one day was never the same as another. However, the intensity of all facets surrounding this role was starting to change who I was, and then...

I had my first child and my whole world changed.

My career goals and aspirations seemed so distant and no longer relevant, nor desired. I now had a child, a beautiful soul, in a little human body, that I was told was now my responsibility. I longed for her for so long. Whilst I never felt overly maternal, I did feel like I was meant to bring a child into this world.

It was not an easy road to her blessing, but it was well worth the challenges and lessons I learnt along the way. The lessons however, did not stop at her arrival. During her first 6 months, I found myself feeling lost, numb and unsure, about…. Everything. I felt this deep love for her, but absolutely no love or connection to me.

I have since learnt that children are the mirror to our own unhealed wounds, traumas or incomplete experiences. In fact, the lesson I have and will continue to learn is that her presence in my life isn’t about me parenting her - but rather learning to look within and master parenting myself. I now know the only way to influence and teach (anyone, let alone) a child, is to embody and be the very thing you're "teaching". So, I want to teach my child patience.... then I need to be patient with her - the old adage of 'actions are stronger than words' has so much merit! BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO INSPIRE

As I work through my own sh!t, dig deep under my own limiting beliefs, my own wounds, feel all the things I thought I buried, release the frozen tension - I am beginning to see the real me again. 

When I moved out of my head and into my body, into my heart and into my soul, I realised:
~ I’m not just a ‘people pleaser’ - I have a big heart who is accepting and protective of others;
~ I am not a fixer - but a healer. Because people, situations and experiences are never ‘broken’;
~ I am not just over caring - but an empath who authentically feels and truly knows others. 

I sought guidance in many different avenues of support, education and belief systems and each of them led me here… soul searching and figuring out who I truly am, what I truly stand for and what truly fulfils me. I found feminine embodiment, coaching and spirituality. I am also fascinated with learning and exploring how trauma resides in our bodies and impacts our lives. My skills will always continue to evolve and develop as I learn, experience and add new tools to my coaching tool box, benefiting both me and you, my client.

I now realise that I had it right, I was meant to make a difference in others’ lives and in this world. But it wasn’t by protecting you and the community, but by showing you how to find, embody, express and be your own inner power, truth and authenticity.

When you can understand, experience and start to move with your own sovereignty - your life, others’ around you and your world will be an amazing place

I am forever learning, failing and growing. Not only does this benefit me personally, but it benefits me as a coach and in turn you as my client.
I am walking my talk; I am living my truth; I am learning hard lessons; I am getting knocked down and getting back up.

I don't believe its about reinventing the wheel, but rather 'standing on the shoulders of giants' - learning from others triumphs, trials and tribulations...

​I would be honoured to be your giant.
