My Journey
With years of experience as a primary school teacher I have honed my skills of being excited and enthusiastic about life.
I love being a teacher and there are so many skills that I use well as a life coach -such as listening, understanding, questioning, explaining, rephrasing.
I then lived and worked in Thailand for the next 10 years. I loved the people, the way of life and the sun! This really opened my eyes to how different people can be- their way of life, attitudes and mindset. It was here that I developed my non-judgemental, inclusive and positive attitude towards life.
I returned to Edinburgh with my husband to start a family and now have 2 absolutely gorgeous boys. Family is everything to me and my husband and boys are my biggest cheerleaders.
But it wasn’t always easy… with both boys being born premature and spending the first weeks of their lives in the neonatal unit was a really hard time. Feeling so helpless seeing them with their tubes and wires inside an incubator was heart wrenching. Yet I grew stronger for it. It taught me to dig deep, develop my resilience and learn to find the good in every situation. I stoped taking life for granted.
After this I began my mindfulness and meditation journey, seeking stillness and a slower pace of life compared to my busy lifestyle in Bangkok. I deepened my interest in personal development and started reading and listening to a wide range of self improvement books ranging from mindset to mindfulness, holistic therapies to healthy habits and communication to confidence. I trained as a children’s mindfulness teacher and began to consider how I could share what I have learnt.
It was as part of this journey I trained to be a life coach, feeling the calling to share my positive outlook on life and empower women to strive to live their best life too.
I love the way coaching helps women gain clarity, motivation and passion and would love the chance to work with you.
