      Travelled to Calcutta in India with Goal and spent many years working in philanthropy for multiple Mental Health, Addiction and Children’s Charities around the world.

      Spoke at and chaired the 1st ever parental mental health conference in Ireland when my speaking career was taking off and continuing to grow worldwide.

      Moved to the United States to follow my dreams, lost everything, hit rock bottom due to Covid and turned it around again using the principles I teach!!

      Your pain holds a magical formula for your personal transformation and growth.

      Through navigating many dark nights of the soul, I’ve learnt to transform my pain into power and listen. Truly listen to the call from within. Over these past three years, I’ve done some of my deepest work yet. My mental, physical and spiritual health has continued to grow exponentially from this journey.

      In December 2019, after moving to LA to begin our dream life, my dreams came crashing down fast with lockdown, when the job I came to do, disappeared overnight. I was terrified, lonely and felt like the rug had been pulled from underneath my feet, yet again.

      Instead of letting the ‘why me’ take hold for too long, I went inwards and practiced what I teach. While my transformation this time, was more profound than ever, so was my pain. I questioned being here, and often struggled to take another breath when the trauma so deeply embedded,rose from within. I felt it would never end.

      This time I didn’t pick up the wine bottle, I didn’t let my anxiety get the better of me. I showed up and sat with the pain. If I wanted the freedom that is part of life’s plan for me, I knew this deep work was unavoidable.

      Why?

      Part of my soul’s mission is to learn how to turn pain into power, understand pain, alchemize it and see its teachings and potential. My daily prayer each morning is

      How can I serve?

      I’m a single mum to an 11-year-old boy and my intention for him is to have a strong, present, supportive and positive role model. In this lifetime I am clearing old generational wounds and patterns. Some of these patterns have lived in my DNA for hundreds of years.

      My Work...

      is about understanding yourself on a much deeper level. Our mind, body, and spirit are connected, and they all affect each other. If one is out of balance, the others are too.

      We all need to find a level of balance and harmony that works for us.

      WHAT I ENCOURAGE is radical awareness of self so that you can truly begin to see your patterns. Awareness is the greatest agent for change in your life and with acceptance comes a willingness from within to take the next steps that truly matter.

      Making small daily changes helps you to build the confidence to follow your dreams and believe in yourself. Consistency and discipline are the master teachers of this journey and showing up every single day, no matter what stands in your way, will lead you to a life of greatness, fulfillment, fun, joy, love, effortless expansion, growth and connection. Success is a side effect of living this way.

      No matter what anyone tells you, it’s never too late to change your life.

      Most importantly showing up and doing the work is about giving yourself permission to lead with love and practice self-care and self-compassion. If I have learned one thing on this journey, it’s that self-care is not selfish, it’s the most selfless thing you can do.

      We are all here to serve and when we serve from this place and space instead of passing our pain onto others, we can hold space for others to heal too

      So, join me on this adventure.

      I would love to work with you and help you to build the life you deserve.

      Your dream life is waiting.
      So, what are you waiting for?
