How My Journey Began

From miscarriages to a stillbirth and from nursing my dying mother to removing my ovaries in order to overcome my own struggles,  I have been through the belly of the beast and come out on the other side ready to keep fighting and moving forward. 

If someone had told me19 years ago that I would have gone through what I have and became a life coach because of it, I would have totally bet against it, yet here we are.....

​

In 2002 I left school determined to become a Psychologist.  Nine years later I was pregnant and completing my Honours.  My whole life was laid out in front of me, and it was perfect, just as I had imagined. Then the unthinkable happened. Three weeks away from my due date I lost my first born son to a stillbirth.  To say that this rocked my world would be a gross understatement.  Everything I ever believed, thought or valued was thrown out the window.

Up until this point I had dedicated myself, whole heartedly, to working with special needs children, but after losing my son I could no longer bring myself to work with children. 

One day while looking through gumtree for something, I came across a vacancy for an addiction counsellor position, I applied and got the position. It was at this point that I went into the field of addiction. This was a field I had always been drawn to because of a family history with addiction.  I am of the strong belief that nothing happens at random and working with people who were just as broken as I was was defeintely a part of the greater plan.  Watching these people pick themselves up and make the hardest decisions and take the hardest steps to be the best version of themselves, was truly inspiring and life changing. I had found my passion and life was on the right track again. 

We had a beautiful baby boy a year after losing our son however when he was 9 months old, I found myself pregnant for a third time and dealing with my mother being diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer.  Again life seemed to be evening out but again the rug was pulled out from under me.  At that point I left my job and decided to nurse my mother during her last months of life.  Once she passed I went back to my passion but after a while I felt dead, empty like the passion had been drained from me, I felt I needed to do more.  Helping people find the cause of their problem and understanding how it affected them and sending them on their way just wasn't enough for me anymore.  I felt like so many times we had done great work but it always felt like the job had only been half done.  It was at this point that I decided to look into life coaching.  I did a course and researched until I couldn't read anymore. I started helping my clients who had done the hard work but didn't know how to move on from that point, and the results were amazing.  For the first time in a long time, I felt re-energized, inspired and excited. 

​

I want the same fore you.

Life is not easy for anyone and choosing to let it make you better, will be tough but I guarantee you, you will never regret it.  I am passionate about watching people take their pain and fear and transform it into amazing success stories, which then go on to inspire others to do the same.

I am here to be your flash light and guide you through whatever journey you decided to take because I know that no matter the obstacle there is always a way through it and what awaits you on the other side is always worth the hard work and determination.
