Why am I a life and self love coach?

I have always wanted to help people, it was my initial motivation for training to become a nurse and has stayed with me over the 20 years I have worked in the NHS (coming up to 18 years as a registered nurse). Being a confidant comes naturally to me and being able to put people at ease has been an integral part of my success as a nurse. I realised I wanted to change direction after having my little boy but didn't really know how. I was frustrated at the lack of support for women during the transition into motherhood. I am lucky that being an older mum (I was 35 when I had my son) I had quite a few friends who were already mothers and could provide support and reassurance to me especially when in overwhelm I was worrying about things like getting a routine in place for a two week old baby (they talked me out of that!). I was lucky to come across a programme that focused on mental wellbeing for expectant and new mothers. This programme and the support from my experienced friends completely helped me with this transition to motherhood. 

​

Time and time again we hear that "it takes a village to raise a child", this can be quite disconcerting if you do not live nearby family or they are unable to help because they still work, are in poor health or just don't want to! It can be incredibly isolating and having been a single mum since my son was 3 months old I often felt very alone. I was worried about saying anything about my struggles as I kept being told to "enjoy every minute" but actually being a mum is hard and nothing can truly prepare you for this transition.

The reason I chose to qualify as a coach is to make sure other women don't have to feel the same. Life coaching helps you to unlock the knowledge and skills you need to go from feeling overwhelmed and frazzled to fabulous and thriving. Every skill I use during my coaching sessions has been tried and tested by many people and I have tried them all on myself before adding them into my sessions. I used these skills as part of my toolkit to recover from postnatal depression after the birth of my daughter alongside professional support. I am excited to share this knowledge with you and see the transformation in your life.

How has self love and life coaching changed my life?

I have clarity on my goals and have a clear vision of how I want to live my life. I didn't have great work/ life balance and wasn't feeling aligned with my job and my values which was impacting me both physically and emotionally. Gaining clarity and confidence through increasing my own self love gave me the courage to make changes to my life and set up this business helping others. I have used coaching techniques to conquer limiting beliefs that were holding me back and changed my mindset. I am guided by my intuition and am absolutely loving the changes that are happening in my life. My clients are having fantastic changes (see testimonials) and I am thrilled to continue helping women daily.
