This was taken on Brownsea Island summer 2010, I'd resolved Fibromyalgia and ME/CFS and was beginning my journey to improved wellness.
Bournemouth Marathon Festival 2015 all 26.2 miles! I'd been running regularly for 5 years - what a difference from above!
About Me
I am a Mum of 4 children and have three grandchildren. I love feeling healthy and happy in mind and body and this achievement has taken a lifetime and a journey with many misdirected paths. I was born in West London and lived there until I was 31 when life took a very drastic turn. I relocated to Wiltshire and this is where my home and my heart is. I’m immensely proud of my family and all that they have achieved, without them my journey would have been a very dark place at times.
I’ve been with my partner for over 20 years and together we have been on a turbulent yet rewarding journey. He has been my rock and my best friend and he supports me in every way.
My story
I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and CFS / M.E in 2009 and can add Raynaud's (white finger syndrome) depression and anxiety, including social anxiety to add to the list of ‘diseases’. They said there was no cure for Fibromyalgia or Raynaud’s. I’m happy to report that I have continued to be free of either of these for over 13 years.
I did The Lightning Process® training course in 2009 and was shown how to change my thought patterns which in turn changed my behaviours and allowed me to become the fit and healthy person I am today, able to run a marathon, weight train and love the life I have now. Fibromyalgia, M.E and Raynaud's are now conditions of the past.
I was so inspired and motivated by what I learned during the training that I set a goal to become a practitioner myself and be able to show others how to make the changes they desire.
In 2016 I retrained from a background in administration to become a Master NLP Practitioner, Clinical Hypnotherapist, Life Coach, Integral Eye Movement Therapist and CBT coach. In addition, I recently gained a Level 7 QLS Diploma in Train the Trainer. Combining these skills as well as being a trauma-informed therapist, I help other people overcome their challenges and live a life that they love.
Now in 2022, I’ve continued my journey to optimal health and happiness and have discovered how powerful the 3 ‘brain’ centres we have can be. The Mind, the Gut and the Heart. Finding harmony and health in all these ‘brains’ frees you from the chains of many chronic conditions that the Western world has seen exponentially explode. Anxiety, depression, chronic pain and fatigue to name but a few so that you can wake up every day with energy, motivation, self-confidence and assuredness.
Now collaborating with Laura Shipp - Courageous Wellbeing - bringing mind, body and gut into harmony and optimal health with The Mind Body Gut Company Ltd.
