For most of my early years I asked myself these questions ' where I belong and where I truly fit.? My journey started from birth  Being adopted and experiencing trauma in early childhood shaped my sense of identity and safety. Later, walking alongside my mother through illness, and loss brought its own layers of grief and transformation.
 

Through these experiences, I learned to listen deeply to myself. With determination, care, and healing through diet and lifestyle, I gradually rebuilt my health and sense of wholeness.  This journey has taught me compassion, resilience, and the understanding that belonging isn’t always something we find ,
sometimes it’s something we gently create within ourselves.

 

This led me to training as a counsellor with 25 years experience. I have travelled extensively,  and learnt many modalities.  I trained in Rishikesh India  as a yoga teacher.  I qualified as a heart meditation teacher. 

I am trauma informed, and incorporate somatic body work within my therapeutic practice. 
I have experience of facilitating retreats, and running workshops within diverse settings 

 

Through my own journey,  of 25 years I am passionate of sharing what  I know can help others in living their best life , and creating harmony and balance within.

 

Where do I belong? This encroached on my self esteem and confidence ..
