My Journey
Life is a journey filled with peaks and valleys, and like many of you, I've navigated my share of challenges and triumphs. My path has been shaped by experiences that have taught me resilience, empathy, and the power of personal growth.
Though I did not face many adversities growing up, I developed a strong interest in psychology and wellness, which led me to pursue a career where I could help others navigate their own challenges. With a background in psychology and wellness, I have spent years integrating physical wellness with mental health to offer a holistic approach to my clients.
One of my most formative periods was the 15 plus years I dedicated to caring for my elderly parents until their passing. This time taught me the importance of self-care, balance, and the profound impact of stress and emotional regulation. Witnessing their frailty highlighted the critical importance of maintaining physical health and strength for a better quality of life and greater freedom of choice. These experiences deepened my understanding of life transitions and personal resilience, which I bring into my practice to support clients through various life challenges.
As a mature person, I have experienced my share of tragedies and hardships, including the sudden death of a very close childhood friend. This loss, along with the passing of my elderly parents and coping with the emotional and psychological impact of several cancer diagnoses within my immediate family, has given me a deeper understanding and compassion for the challenges faced by those dealing with serious illness and unexpected sorrow. I have also navigated my own grief, depression, anxieties, and emotional turmoil, which has strengthened my empathy and ability to support my clients.
Professionally, I have worked in both public and private sectors, helping individuals navigate stress, anxiety, life transitions, and relationship issues. My approach is grounded in empathy, authenticity, and a genuine desire to see my clients thrive. Raised with the influences of Eastern philosophy, which emphasises balance, mindfulness, and interconnectedness, I incorporate these principles into my practice, alongside my training as a Reiki Master Practitioner, to support my own holistic well-being.

I am passionate about helping individuals, couples and families achieve a healthy life balance, enhance their relationships, improve communication, and deepen intimacy. I practice what I preach when it comes to self-care, incorporating activities into my life that keep me balanced and healthy.
Outside of my professional life, I enjoy weight training, hiking, swimming, and rock climbing. I also meditate regularly and pursue creative visual arts and writing, which help me maintain my own balance and well-being. The beach is my go-to place for relaxation and rejuvenation, offering a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Every step of my journey has reinforced my commitment to helping others. I bring not only my professional expertise but also my personal understanding of life's challenges to my practice. I am enthusiastic about living a healthier, more balanced life.
