My Story...
As a child, I was an animal lover. Wherever there were animals, I was there. I wanted to become a vet, and then my ambition changed and I wanted to become a mounted policewoman.
​
On leaving school, I started working at a local riding school, where I lived in. I had the option of living in a nice warm flat with central heating or a cold, damp caravan (next to the stables).
Yes, I chose the caravan. I seemed to go for the hard options in life; if something seemed too easy, I would naturally take the more complex route, which includes this handsome boy below: ‘Robin’ my childhood favourite pony who loved to buck me off on a regular basis.
The Bubble that Burst...
At the age of 17, a lot of life experiences happened in a very short period, I passed my driving test and I started working as an apprentice for an Insurance Broker. I met my first serious boyfriend and life was good, I was on cloud 9; new job, new boyfriend, found my independence driving around in my new banger. I was loving life! But this didn’t last very long, my boyfriend dumped me and my friend from school passed away.
​
I then spent the following years drinking alcohol and partying to cover up the broken pieces inside me. My self-esteem fell to the floor, along with my dignity. I spent many years ahead, living a fast-paced life of working hard and partying harder. I used alcohol as an escape from reality as I felt useless and not good enough. I did take my job working at an insurance broker’s seriously, and I was proud that I worked my way up to branch manager level.
The Secret...
Thinking back to my life almost ten years ago, I was at a crossroads. I knew I had a purpose, a destination that would open my mind, but I didn’t know what it was. After being introduced to The Secret by Rhona Byrne (based on the Law of Attraction), I started to see life in a refreshing new way. My eyes opened wide to all the possibilities that were surrounding me, to which I had been blinded before. I began to think differently, which led me to manifest my travels to Australia.
​
So, of course, when you take action, the universe works with you. Everything worked out; it flowed: saving the money, selling my car, renting out my house, and getting myself a year’s working visa with just enough time to fit in applying for my 2nd year's visa- it was meant to be, or was it?
Can You Relate..?
Then nine weeks before I was due to leave, I met a man, who really put a spanner in the works. To cut a long story short, I did go to Oz, but I cut my trip short and returned just two months later to be with this person………..huge mistake!
I fell into a very toxic, messy relationship that was physically and emotionally abusive. I gave up my dream because I didn’t have any self-worth or value for myself to continue my planned trip. As a result, my confidence took a nosedive, and I completely lost myself; my friends said I just wasn’t me anymore.
This is the point when I began to pick myself up and I was back on the manifesting train. I manifested a new job, my car, and I moved to a new house which I called “My Healing Home”. I took a Mindset and Law of Attraction Course, gained my Reiki 1 and started to meditate. I listened to Louise Hay and Abraham Hicks every day, who I loved and it kept me going - focused and aligned.
After a series of unpleasant events, I picked up the courage to leave. The morning I left, I was guided by something a lot stronger than myself; I now believe this was my Higher Self. I was weak; I had enough, my spirit was low. With the help of some very special friends of mine, I never looked back.
​
I continued to drink myself into a dark hole, as that was the only way I knew how to deal with pain. I used alcohol to block out reality, which gave a false insight into my confidence. Looking back now, I was suffering from anxiety and depression. On the outside, you wouldn’t have noticed this, as I hid it well. Eventually reality caught up with me, and I was put on anti-depressants by my Doctor.
I even went on a week’s Intensive Tiling Course in Newcastle; only I could take a week off work to drive miles to learn how to tile! A very random idea of mine! But something was missing. I was still healing and, in my vulnerability, I was looking for comfort in all the wrong places. I was held prisoner by my own fears, insecurities, and lack of self-confidence.
​
Then in 2018, my world fell apart; my Dad passed away; he had a stroke a couple of years before and lived a life of pain and discomfort. It broke my heart seeing my Dad’s transition from a strong, happy man, full of energy playing golf, gardening and painting. He went from living life to the full to a life of limited movement as he lost the use of his left side; he couldn’t walk or eat properly. It was heart breaking seeing him suffer and his passing was for him a release from pain.
Then just weeks later, whilst I was on a snowboarding holiday in Bulgaria, I received a phone call from my Brother ‘Jez’ which totally shook me with horror telling me that my older brother James had had a heart attack. I immediately flew back to the UK to be by his side in intensive care, then a week later we had to make the dreaded decision to switch the machine off. My world turned upside down and I remember thinking how the hell will I be able to carry on without my big Brother. He was my best friend, I shared most of my secrets with him and we shared many ups and downs together.
I decided to change my world...
In this blanket of grief, I somehow managed to turn my pain into power. I used their love as a catalyst from which I derived the energy to become a better version of myself. I remember the day I decided to change my world. I was standing in the kitchen on my lunch break; dreading going back to work, when I decided to join a mindset coaching group. I acted immediately and searched until I found myself live in the Facebook group introducing myself as a person who was aiming to rise instead of fall.
​
It was on that day I decided to raise the bar, take the reins of my life to create happiness to focus on my true desires. I immersed myself into the self-development world and loved every minute of it. This led me to investing in myself further by hiring my 1:1 coach, then the game really changed.

Coming Alive...
My self-worth and confidence fired up, I came alive inside, and all that was broken began to heal. I found my passion in becoming a coach myself as I wanted to help others, empathising with their grief and knowing that there was a way out. I came off my anti-depressants, reduced my alcohol intake (I was sick of the vicious cycle of weekly hangovers) gained a Law of Attraction diploma, created a Facebook group, co-presented my very first event ‘Aspire’ (a self-love mini retreat). As I learned to visualise my success, I manifested a 2-month backpacking trip which was obviously meant to be, as it conveniently took place just before Covid so I was super grateful to go!
Why I Became a Coach....
Here I am...
Today, I am super proud of myself for turning my pain into power and learning how to completely love and trust myself again. I am living my manifestation right now, living in Bali running my Coaching business. I have so much passion boiling inside me and I’m dying to share it with you.
​
So here I am.
Stronger than ever.
Happier than ever.
I believe that we can all empower ourselves to manifest the life we want.
