Conscious Connected Breathing
When it comes to self-care, I have not always put myself first or focused on my own needs enough. I was the classic people pleaser and just wanted to ensure everyone else was happy. I wouldn’t speak up and ask for what I needed, I avoided conflict like the plague, my boundaries were awful and I worked myself to the point of burn out and total exhaustion. I wasn’t fully present in my own life, happiness happened in fleeting moments only and I had no idea who I was; I was simply surviving. When I decided that enough was enough, I committed 100% to self-care and accepting who I was and what I needed. It was a total game changer and now in my 40’s I’m happier, healthier and more aligned than ever.
Without doubt, I know my calling is to help others understand the deeper desires of their soul; to believe in themselves, to accept themselves and live a life of meaning. I’m fully committed to my own self-care, self-acceptance and self-belief, because I want to lead by example. I’m on a continual path of development, learning, healing and growth and I’m always bringing this knowledge and skills to my clients. If you’re someone who needs a good listener and a safe space to really embrace your true feelings; AND you need someone to believe in you as you learn to trust and believe in yourself again, then you’ve found the right person.
I’m a lover of dog/puppies and you’ll often find me out walking in nature, the more trees the better. I’m one of those rare people who looks forward to and loves the gym and lifting weights; feeling healthy and full of vitality is important to me. I adore strong coffee with a lovely slice of cake, or a sticky pastry. I’m always open to deep and meaningful conversations where we can talk about everything and anything; I want to talk about things of meaning and substance, so tend to avoid chit chat and small talk. Finally, I do enjoy some kitchen dancing with a glass of wine and cheesy music.
I’m mum to Hannah, Joshua and Evie the Mali x Springer and I’m always sharing photos of her. My children have reached an age where having photos taken is not cool, so there are hundreds of photos of Evie on my phone. I live in the seaside town of Bournemouth. While I have the beach only 10 minutes away, I’m actually rarely there. I’m a trees and forest kinda girl through and through. That’s when I feel like I can breathe, it’s when I ground and it’s when I most feel like myself. While I do enjoy a 5 star hotel in the sunshine with my every need catered for, I also enjoy lodges in the forest where you barely see another soul for days on end.
