ABOUT ME

I have a background in Business Coaching in a corporate environment.  Motivating people to be the best they can has always fascinated me.

​

When I had been married for five years, shortly after our first child was born, my husband was struck down with ME/CFS/Fibromalgia (Inital diagnosis Norfolk and Norwich Hospital, referrals to CFS Clinic, Queens Hospital, Romford, further referral to Kings College Hospital, London.)  He could not work or think straight and suffered incredible muscle and joint pain. He slept a lot of the time. This continued for twenty three years.

​

In 2014 after the recommendation of a friend, who had recovered from the same condition, my husband undertook mind/body training and recovered his health. After twenty three years he was able to return to work, exercise and resume normal life.

​

I decided at that time that I would learn the skills to be able to help people in this way. As an experienced Business Coach I felt that I had the necessary foundations and skill set to built on.

​

I studied at The Phil Parker Training Institute where I studied Coaching, Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) (Masters/Advanced), Clinical Hypnotherapy (Masters/Advanced)  

​

I have added the qualification of Level 1 Forest Therapy Guide and am currently studying for my Level 2 and 3 International Forest Therapy Diploma this year. I lead group experiences in local woods where people find they experience deep  levels of relaxation and connection with themselves and nature.  This summer I will partner up with The Essex Wildlife Trust and will be leading two hour Forest Bathing walks in Belfairs Woods

 

I am passionate about continuous professional development and continue to study these and related subjects so that I can help people get the life that they love. 

​

I have helped so many people, young and old to re-train their brains and get their lives back from crippling anxiety and it's associated physical symptoms. 

​

I love being by the sea or walking in the forest with my dog, singing/performing with my local  choir  and most of all laughing with family and friends.
