My Journey...
I qualified as a Hypnotherapist in 2013. I always knew I was destined to make a positive impact on other people's lives and after the devastating death of my Mum, I was certain I wanted to support others and Hypnotherapy was my way to do this.
It wasn't until 2020 and the fallout from the Covid-19 Pandemic that I was given the opportunity to take plunge and follow my dream to run my own business as a Transformational Hypnotherapist.
At that time though, something didn't feel fully aligned. It took almost 2 years of self-reflection and exploration to get to where I am today.
I not only questioned the sort of people I wanted to work with but also the type of business I wanted to run.
I realised I'm a spirited advocate for working 1:1 and not just listening to the women I support but actually hearing them…
Their experiences, their worries, their dreams, their wins and losses…
I’m there for every small step and every giant leap in their journey to create the next level version of themselves…
To encourage their uniqueness, resilience, belief and integrity.
Integrity can be missing in today’s noisy and crowded online world…
But it’s at the heart of the support I offer.
I ALSO EXPLORED WHAT I WAS BELIEVING ABOUT MYSELF...
By the beginning of 2022, I knew what was stopping me…
On the other side of my self-imposed glass ceiling was my desire to show my kids what their Mum was capable of…
To make them proud…
To show them what was possible and give them the best opportunities in life…
I knew what I had to do to smash through this glass ceiling but it felt so uncomfortable to face up to this huge belief that felt like chains holding me down…
“I’ll fail and let them down”
This fear and limitation was standing in my way, keeping that ceiling firmly in place...
I felt frustrated with myself and deep down not good enough to actually break through...
But I did…
As soon as you identify and get super clear on what is keeping you trapped in the same old patterns and limiting thoughts, then suddenly you’ve got the upper hand…
You’ve got the power back…
I got mine back!
I support women to ignite the next level version of themselves in an aligned way, just as I did...
I GOT UNCOMFORTABLE, EXPLORED MY MIND AND FOUND THE SOURCE OF MY LIMITATIONS...
I SURRENDERED MY UNDERLYING FEARS AND LIMITING BELIEFS...
I RESTORED MY SELF-WORTH, INNER CONFIDENCE, SELF-BELIEF AND EMPOWERMENT...
I stopped chipping away at my self imposed glass ceiling, just making tiny cracks.
Instead, I smashed through it and began to enjoy everything on the other side!
