About Me - Why I became a Life Coach

I have been a complementary therapist for 15 years and still practice various forms of body work such as aromatherapy, deep tissue, reflexology and Indian head massage. Although many clients benefit from regular massage which helps to release tension in certain muscle groups, there are a significant number who live with persistent back and neck problems on a daily basis. My extensive work in this area has led me to the conclusion that recurring physical ailments are not simply the result of poor posture or lack of exercise, but are often the result of emotional blockages such as lack of self confidence, low self esteem or relationship difficulties, which, left untreated, can lead to other, more serious health problems.

With this new found knowledge, I decided to combine the two forms of treatment. To my surprise, not only did I see remarkable physical improvements, I also witnessed a dramatic change in the 'emotional well being' of my clients. Furthermore, the added benefit of nutritional advice (including vitamin/mineral therapy, herbal remedies, bach/bush flower remedies) has enabled many to lose weight, increase energy supplies, improve vitality and above all, gain optimal health.

After successfully combining a range of treatments over a number of years, I decided that the best way to move people forward in the most effective way was to focus my attention primarily on the emotional well being of my clients. Further training has enabled me to qualify as both a counselor and life coach. I also incorporate NLP into the coaching sessions. (Neuro Linguistic Programming) and have considerable experience and training in EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) NLP uses a set of tools and techniques to help deal with unhelpful patterns of thoughts and behaviours and introduces new, positive and constructive ways to improve your life. Whereas, EFT, in contrast, is based on Eastern philosophy and works by tapping on the meridian points. It is similar to acupuncture without using needles.

We all deserve to live a life free from anxiety, tension, negative patterns of behaviour, addictions, excess weight and emotional blockages, and Life coaching in my opinion offers one of the most outstanding ways of achieving this. I am passionate about the work I do and strive for excellence in all manner of training. Learning to use Coaching, EFT and NLP effectively can dramatically change your life. As a transformational 'life coach' my aim in life is to guide and support you on your journey by highlighting the myriad ways you can improve your self esteem and self awareness, create healthy relationships, gain a positive work/life balance, achieve financial prosperity, live a life of spiritual balance and harmony and above all experience the joys of health and happiness.
