About me

I am sociable, driven and I truly love connection with others - family, friends, people! It's a phrase that's often over-used, but I genuinely am a 'People-Person'.
​
I have built my career on my love for supporting people and I find nothing more fulfilling than helping someone feel good and at peace within themselves. It’s very likely that my being highly empathetic allowed me to get the most out of my work as a recruiter and in human resources; I find that helping someone land the job of their dreams is entirely rewarding.

Of course, we all have facets of our personalities that make each of us beautifully unique. These values, fears and motivations not only inspire our dreams, but they can also hamper our success at fulfilling them. Some of these traits are innate, others are accumulated over time as we experience challenges, difficulties and life milestones.

While each of us have our own paths to follow, today’s modern world provides us with common mountains to climb. I myself have encountered, and successfully scaled, a few of them.

In my early years, my parents separated, I was bullied throughout school, I struggled with the fact that I have a lazy eye and I lacked direction. As an adult, I lost my beloved dad and when I had my daughter I struggled to transition from ‘career women’ to ‘mum’—and then to both.
​
These experiences each had a profound effect on me for different reasons. There have been moments when I’ve felt sad, helpless, lost, heartbroken, anxious, stressed, guilty and even resentful. However, as I have reflected, worked on myself, grown and embraced these tough times, I have realized that they made me who I am and enabled me to help others.

It’s natural for setbacks to not only stall our progress, but take a significant emotional toll, too. As humans, when we go through a trauma we will do anything not to experience it again. This can result in us sabotaging our own progress without realizing it. We become guarded, we build mental barriers, we get—here comes that word-triggered by people and situations, and we fear we will fail or get hurt again.

This thinking or emotional baggage weighs us down. It shortens our vision and stops us from trying again, going out on a limb, dealing with further adversities, or experiencing fulfillment and joy. It can even have a major impact on our health. All areas are impacted by this – mind, body and spirit! I myself have been restrained by this maladaptive thinking and negative emotion and I followed my own healing journey.

I started working on some of these issues by seeing a mixture of counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologists over the years. In a few of the sessions the approach just didn’t resonate with me. In others, I gained wonderful insights and helpful tools. At times I felt great, truly blessed, but there was always a part of me knowing that life could be better. I could feel more satisfied and I could be a better person to my loved ones and myself. Here’s where EFT/tapping comes in. My transformation tool that I used and now use with my clients.
