It’s perfectly ok to change & flow with life, I certainly have. I’ve worked in retail & customer service management both for corporations & within my own businesses. I like variety and there are no rules to say we can’t do multiple things at the one time or make a career change. I’ve also had to embrace the challenges life has handed me and alter my work based on my health over the years. Those challenges have drawn me to what I’m passionate about now.

So why did I become a Life & NLP Coach?

In short I was drawn to Life Coaching through my own personal experiences. I’ve had to deal with a number of health challenges both physical and emotional. Many years ago I was involved in a car accident which resulted in me requiring brain surgery to repair a fracture. I’ve also had to manage a knee injury that left me unable to walk fully for 6 months.

In 2015 I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, a neurological condition that left me in considerable pain and experiencing brain fog or cognitive impairment. Throughout my healing journey I have learnt much about health, nutrition, diet, lifestyle, stress reduction & self care. That’s what prompted me to undertake studies in Nutritional Therapy, Neuro Linguistic Programming & Life Coaching.

Along this journey I started my own personal coaching and started researching deeper into the links of stress, emotions & nervous system regulation, in particular unexpressed emotions and past traumas (even little ‘t’ traumas) and their direct link to chronic illnesses. At the time I was highly stressed and anxious, my nervous system was completely dysregulated which was impacting my immune system. There is much research pointing to vagus nerve regulation and brain rewiring (neuroplasticity) as keys to healing from many chronic illnesses. My own coaching journey helped me personally to understand my past health issues, unexpressed emotions and to begin to really manage my stress, both externally & internally to the point that I’ve now placed all Fibromyalgia symptoms into remission.

Most recently I was diagnosed with Lipoedema (Lipedema), an adipose & connective tissue disorder. So whilst I've overcome some big health hurdles, like most of us I'm still managing some. My firm belief is that knowledge is power, so knowing what we are dealing with helps us manage it better, make wise choices and move forward.

Life is not always perfect, we all experience ups and downs. We have to make the most of what we are given therefore having a growth Mindset goes a very long way to dealing with all challenges that life presents us with. Despite everything I’ve dealt with and am still managing, I am truly happy and fulfilled. I believe in gratitude as the antidote to life’s challenges and I’m a firm believer in lifestyle medicine, taking our health into our own hands by what we eat, consume mentally & how we care for ourselves as a whole. My passion now is to share both my personal and professional experience and knowledge of healing physically & emotionally and to help you to do the same.

Working within my passion to help others I also run a Wellbeing & Mental Health Support & Training company with my business partner at www.integralworkplacewellness.com

Due to my personal healing I’m about to launch www.healfibromyalgia.co.uk which will be an information portal to help those seeking to heal from Fibromyalgia and other chronic conditions.

I am very passionate about using my own experiences to help others physically, mentally & emotionally.
