Grab a cuppa...this is a long one!!
Ok...I had a pretty average childhood...lower income household and parents who split up when I was 7. I watched my separated parents battle from then on...being used as a pawn in their game of divorce.
I had some shitty experiences as I group up and became a wild teenager who didn't know
a) how to be treated with respect by men
b) the difference between love and sex
c) how to get past childhood trauma, low self-esteem and lots and lots of anger!!
Finding myself pregnant at 19, in an abusive relationship...I luckily escaped due to a strong desire to protect my baby.
My first child, born when I had just turned 20, I found myself a single mum, in debt up to my eyeballs, living in a down and out council estate.
Things were looking bleak at this point!
Hitting rock bottom is sometimes what it takes to make massive changes! It was at this point I decided to go back to uni and study a Honours Degree in Psychology.
Anything people and behaviour was my jam!
This was the beginning of learning about the mind and the impact of early experiences on people's decisions and actions.
I moved from the UK to Australia and had 2 more children with my then partner.
Here I found myself in a loveless, sexless relationship.
With no friends and family, we were thrown together. With big problems occurring even before we moved from the UK, this was like shining a spotlight on all the things that weren't working.
Infidelity, lies, unfulfilled promises, complete misaligned values and beliefs.
A situation then, as my youngest was only 1 year old at the time, had me asking -
Is this what my life is going to look like for the next 20, 30 years?
And so, I made the decision to leave.
Becoming a single mum to 3 young children...
Living again in a sh!tty house, no money, and wondering what I was going to do to get myself out of this rut.
Eventually I met my now husband...and wasn't this a one of those profound universe moments!
(well, aren't they all just bringing you where you're meant to be in life!!)
Things didn't always go so well for us!
I became a teacher, my husband worked crazy hours in his own business.
We were both stressed, overwhelmed, raising the kids, paying the bills...
The rose-tinted glasses started to slip.
I knew there was a MASSIVE issue, when I started saying my husband reminded me of my ex.
They are so different, you cannot believe!!
By this time, I'd left teaching and started my own business and began the journey into learning NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming).
Instead of pointing the finger at all the things my husband had to change for us to work, I eventually knew I had to do a lot of work on myself to change what I was doing in our relationship.
It took a process...but I can honestly say, I am more in love with my husband now than I've ever been before.
My husband isn't one for self-development in the gung-ho style that I am, but he's always been willing to come along on this ride that I've taken us both on.
NLP literally saved my marriage.
And now I'm here to share this with other couples.
Whether you're at the point of splitting up (my husband and I were literally 1 step away from calling divorce lawyers) or have been in this average, boring relationship for a while or perhaps you are arguing day in, day out....
I'm here to tell you...
you can too!
I'd love to share this life-changing skill with you
Is there such a thing as happily married??
Hell Yeah!!
With workshops, group and one-on-one programs, I offer a range of services to meet your needs.
You CAN absolutely make a difference to your relationship by working on YOU - and if it doesn't solve the relationship issues, you'll be ready to face with confidence whatever happens next.
I love seeing couples bring back their spark and their connection with each other.
I also love seeing women and men empowered to live their own lives - without relying on another to 'complete them'.
Are you ready to see what magic waits for you?
I can't wait to hear from you.
