I am a carer by nature. I looked after my parents through their ill health and was privileged to be there to hold each of their hands as they departed this world.

My job history reflects this passion, from teaching in a primary school then working in a herbal medicine company and naturopathic training centre, to working helping people overcome barriers to work in a local Job Centre.

I particularly enjoyed the management and development side of my roles, these skills balance me out intellectually and practically, providing insight into, and influencing my coaching style. I loved watching the businesses grow year on year, knowing I was part of that success. 

After the death of my father whom I had cared for with my mum for over 15 years during school, university, teaching and then on into my late 20's and after my divorce which followed a few years later I was able to alter my life path to reflect my true desire which is to enable, encourage and support people, and with the support of my second husband I trained as a hypnotherapist, counsellor, psychotherapist, life coach, NLP practitioner and clinical supervisor.
