I have the best job in the world!
It’s never too late to start over
After a chance meeting with a Reiki Healer, my eyes were opened and my world was catapulted into the realms of endless possibility. A 2-year stint retraining as a Life Coach and reading every book I could get my hands on, eased me off the corporate treadmill.
My days were happier when I returned to my love of children and it helped pay the bills whilst building up my coaching business. Later on I furthered my coaching skills and qualified as a Child Coach.
My goal in life is to be the person I wished I’d had growing up
I live and breathe this work. I’m committed to recovering from my own childhood trauma. I make it my priority to be the mentor and guide I wish I’d had growing up.
As a lifelong learner and introvert, I’m a bookworm. I love to share my experience with like-minded people. Here is a list of my recommended books which have helped me along the way.
I’m a total self-development junkie and self-care advocate – I have regular therapy and supervisory sessions. I love Epsom salt baths and daily walks by the canal. I don’t get it right all the time, but I do my best every day. Just like you!
A decade of transformation
I’ve transformed the lives of thousands of children. They have taught me so much and I’m incredibly grateful for that. In fact I would say that my work is a co-creation – we have worked as a team.
You can read about the children I’ve helped here.
All my work comes through referrals from happy families who have worked with me.
I’m a creative at heart – it heals!
Just like the beautiful young souls I work with, my brain is so busy and every day I’m inspired to create. I record all my ideas in an art journal.
I’ve written a book, created Truly Madly Smiley and those beautiful Smiley Thought Cards that are well-loved by children all over the world.
Creativity is how I tune into my intuition and that is why you’ll find creativity and story-telling weaved into the rich tapestry of my work.
Amongst the chaos, there’s always something to smile about
I love dancing around my home, watching murder mysteries and cooking. I am a true foodie. Sometimes only cheese and biscuits will do. I also love to laugh with my friends. After all that is what life is about – LOVE, connection and fun!
Love
