When I was younger I learned that being me was not good enough. I was told I was too quiet, too sensitive, too shy and should be more confident.

I felt stupid and worthless.

So I tried hard to be more like others, putting my own needs aside to feel accepted.

BUT constantly searching for others’ approval was exhausting and soul-destroying.

I found solace in yoga and meditation, and in my thirst for knowledge which led to a 20 year period of studying and working psychologically. But even as a clinical psychologist the old feelings did not go away.

I stayed in toxic work environments that were draining my life energy.

And I became so busy DOING there was no room for BEING.

When I became burnt out and disillusioned I knew I had to find more balance and meaning in my life so I left my NHS job to be my own boss.

Even then I continued searching, taking courses that re-triggered my old not good enough stories, and joining money-making schemes that left me empty. 

It was only when I began toconnect with myself and others in a more authentic way that things started to change for me. 

Finding the right supporters, getting back to spiritually soothing practices and owning my high sensitivity have been the tonic I needed to thrive. 

Being my true self and still feeling heard and accepted has been incredibly liberating for me.

Now, I am offering you a nurturing and gentle space for you to feel heard and embrace who you truly are too.
