I will be your guide; I am a passionate, empathetic person and I truly care about the people I work with. I am positive, driven and extremely resilient. For many years I was a professional dressage rider, coach and world class horse breeder. This required total dedication and single minded determination. I bred some of the best and most sought after dressage horses in the UK.
I am now a trusted coach and confidante to leaders, high achievers and creative professionals. I know what it takes to get to the top and the secret of staying there, whilst being able to hold it lightly.
Some years ago, I was living the dream. I had everything I desired:
a long and successful career as a professional rider and sports coach
a dream home that I had designed myself
a 30-acre farm in an idyllic village
a long marriage and a beautiful family
a winning mentality
a laser focus on my career
an excellent reputation and accolades as a dressage rider, world class horse breeder and international broker
a barn full of 6-figure horses
I also had:
constant anxiety
an inability to relax or switch off
80+ hour working weeks
panic attacks
a mind driven by fear
no idea how my life aligned with my values—or what my values even were
no idea how I could change it
chronic and self-inflicted loneliness
sacrificed absolutely everything for my career
chronic low self-esteem which manifested as perfectionism
I tried:
psychotherapy
counselling
more professional recognition
material things
pretending everything was fine
finding the solution in the bottom of a bottle
controlling absolutely everything around me
Nothing seemed to help. The anxiety and mind fog increased, I was in chronic pain and exhausted. The stress was huge. My business running costs were enormous and the financial pressure was constant. My marriage was breaking down and I felt completely trapped. My identity was so entwined with my career that I no longer knew who I was. I drank more and more wine, it was the only way I could relax and shut my mind up.
I tried therapy but I felt like a victim, something I had never felt before. I knew I was a strong and resilient person. In desperation, I signed up with a coach and NLP therapist. It would be no exaggeration to say that it changed my life. I recovered my self-worth, my identity and my confidence. I gained clarity and emotional stability. I now understand the meaning of inner peace. And I learnt how to relax!
My experience with coaching and NLP was so profound that I wholeheartedly committed to helping others. I love seeing people transform how they feel about themselves and their lives.
Sessions are discreet, confidential and free from judgement. I have experienced the darker side of life: childhood bereavement, post-natal depression, alcoholism, divorce and trauma. There is a way out.
