I live in Barwell, Leicestershire with my husband and Sprocker Spaniel, Alfie.  I have 3 grown-up children, 3 step children and 10 grandchildren.

Are you feeling stuck or overwhelmed?  Is life a struggle? Are you running on empty, or have you forgotten what it feels like to be happy? I’ve been there too! 

Despite being blessed with a loving family and wonderful friends, my life became out of balance. Emotional trauma, a busy family life, raising my own three children and building a career, led to feelings of being overwhelmed and not good enough.  I forgot to prioritise my own wellbeing and lost sight of my own needs.
 
As a foster carer for 18 years, I worked with emotional trauma for both the children in my care and their birth families. I’ve given and received support from likeminded foster carers as we’ve journeyed together through challenging situation.  Following that I continued my involvement with children and families working through a charity by training and supporting volunteers to come alongside families in their times of need and isolation, all the time, giving out and forgetting to take care of myself.

Seeking support and reaching out when I felt at my lowest turned my life around. Taking control, together with learning to LOVE and RESPECT myself again, caused me to find HOPE, take steps towards HAPPINESS and ultimately reach a place of ACCEPTANCE, FULFILMENT and PEACE.

Experience  
Much of my coaching experience has been with families coping with trauma, but predominantly with women at various stages of life, from early years of parenting to menopause. I’ve walked with clients through grief and loss, rejection and isolation, burnout, exhaustion and other such life situations.
