My Story
My story begins with the ache of absence — a father who left and a little girl who learned far too early to chase love and safety in all the wrong places.
I also wear the scars of being sexually abused at a young age. It taught me that being small, quiet and invisible felt safer than being seen. Hiding became my way of staying safe in a world that didn’t always feel kind.
That need to feel safe, to avoid pain, rejection and abandonment, shaped much of my early life. It followed me into adulthood and eventually into a ten year relationship with a man I loved deeply but who battled addiction and emotional unavailability.
When my first child was a toddler, panic attacks became my body’s way of saying enough. That was the moment my healing journey truly began, when I realised something had to change.
A New Beginning
Leaving that relationship in my early thirties was terrifying but necessary. I became a single mum determined to give my children the stability and safety I never had.
Their father remained in their lives, my own abandonment wounds made sure of that, but it often came at the cost of my peace. I continued to accommodate everyone except myself.
For years, I poured my energy into my career in property management, thirty years of success, leadership and providing. It became my safety net and the structure that gave me a sense of control after so much chaos.
I renovated homes, raised two incredible kids and built a life through sheer determination. Yet beneath it all lingered guilt — guilt for leaving, for breaking the family, for not being enough.
Coming Home to Myself
As my children grew and began their own lives, I felt another kind of loss, the quiet ache of the empty nest. I had to stop running and finally turn inward to meet the parts of myself I’d long avoided.
Through years of deep personal work, guided by beautiful healers and therapists and through the practical and spiritual practices I studied along the way, I slowly began to rebuild from within.
I trained in counselling, life coaching, EFT Tapping, Reiki, somatic, meditation, breathwork and energy therapies and gradually created a new way of living and working that felt authentic and aligned.
Along the way, I learned what true self-worth feels like — and I found love again, this time healthy, grounded and safe.
Where I Am Now
Today, in my fifties, I help others do the same, to heal from the inside out, to break patterns of self-abandonment and to come home to themselves.
Through my business, I’ve supported hundreds of individuals to find confidence, calm and clarity — blending evidence-based counselling with intuitive, soul-level healing.
You don’t need to start over, you just need to come back to who you’ve always been.
