My story
Having worked in the City of London for investment banks such as Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan and Morgan Stanley, I fully understand the benefits and opportunities these types of careers can offer. Over 14 years in the corporate world, I developed excellent leadership, negotiation and communication skills and worked closely with, and advised some high-powered individuals.
I also understand the stress and anxiety that can be created by working in such environments and I found myself in the position where I was ready to make a change for myself. We are here to grow and expand, and although I was successful and being paid a lot of money, I never felt fulfilled in terms of my true potential.
So how did I unlock what I had to offer the world?
Initially, I noticed as an adult, I lived very much in my mind and I had completely shut down access to my emotions. From experience, I fully understand how distress and trauma suffered as a child can have such a significant impact on our adult lives. Our belief systems and protective thoughts and behaviours are often what drive us and make us the highly successful people we are today, however, they can also hold us back from where we truly want to be. The sudden death of my dad and my inability to cry at his funeral further highlighted just how disconnected I had become from my feelings, I did psychotherapy for years trying to access these emotions. I also practiced mindfulness and yoga which, to be honest, I dipped in and out of but nothing quite shook up my world like transformational coaching.
MY OWN COACHING JOURNEY
In 2018, I was led to work with a professional coach which basically transformed my life. I underwent deep inner work and the results were extremely quick. Then, suddenly and unexpectedly, I was made redundant. I was lucky to have my own coach who truly believed in me and my potential, this made the transition so much easier. The clarity and confidence I gained during each session was invaluable. I was then so grateful that I received a financial package which allowed me to travel the world meeting the most incredible people. By committing to a deep exploration of myself, being continually pushed out of my comfort zone and by carrying out a lot of inner work and healing, I discovered my true calling in life, to help others transform their lives too. I have first hand experience of what it feels like to be fully supported while being pushed up to and far beyond anything close to what I thought possible.
In 2019, I set up my own Executive Coaching business and had the amazing experience of working with top class individuals, helping them to transform their professional and personal lives. In 2023, I started to feel like I was ready for a new transition, for more adventure, for a life more aligned with who I truly was. I travelled to Bali, Thailand, Cambodia and India, going on a deeper excavation of myself. I visited Healing Centres, Ashrams, Retreats on practicing Presence and completed a 10 Day Silence Vipassana. I worked with a Coach on finding lasting Contentment and Inner Peace, completed various courses, workshops and other modalities of healing including Breathwork. I did my Yoga Teacher training in India and trained to Reiki Master level - Juice Detoxes , Water Fasting and Dry Fasting, Ice Baths and Cold Water Therapy - you name it, I tried it! All at the same time as using studies in neuroscience to work through my own subconscious programming and conditioning and trauma release through somatic healing.
The journey has been fun and exciting but not without its challenges, the commitment to really knowing thyself and transforming, shadows and all, has been difficult at times but also hugely rewarding. I have always been lucky in meeting amazing people on my travels and in having a supportive network around me, for this I am so grateful. The place of inner peace, love and deep knowing is one which is prevalent in my daily life.
My journey inwards has also given me a deeper awareness and understanding of our collective and individual struggles and suffering, and how easy it is to shift our mindsets and energy so we can live a life where we can thrive and be happy. It has enabled me to hold a space of pure presence in which others can transform easily.
