A life lived, lessons learned, and a deep desire to help you find yours

I know what it feels like to go through the motions of life without really living it.

 

For much of my earlier years, I was doing exactly that — shaped by my upbringing, my circumstances, and beliefs about myself that I didn't even know I was carrying.

​

In my thirties, I discovered ACOA, Adult Children of Alcoholics, and it was the first time I truly understood that the life I was living wasn't really mine. It had been conditioned into me. That realisation set me off on a long journey of discovery, through Reiki, Kinesiology, University, Hypnotherapy and Life Coaching, always searching for answers, always wanting to understand how we become who we are, and how we can become who we're meant to be.

​

I've been a wife for 36 years, a mother of three, and a grandmother of ten. I've known deep love and deep loss. I've lived on a farm in rural New Zealand and found that nature has a quiet way of putting things in perspective.

 

One of the most powerful things I ever discovered was the simplest. After losing my husband, I found myself pacing the floors, caught in a loop of grief and worry. Then I came across an idea so small it seemed almost silly, a picture of a switch. A reminder that in any moment, no matter how overwhelmed you feel, you can choose to switch. To shift. To turn toward the light instead of the dark.
