Let me tell you a personal story…
I want to share a personal story, a journey that led me to a profound realisation of the importance of self-care. It’s a realisation that transformed my life and ultimately became the driving force behind creating an online program I’m incredibly excited to share with you soon. #notyetthough
Not so long ago, I caught up in the daily hustle and bustle, prioritising everything and everyone above myself. Sound familiar? I used to unwind with a glass of wine most nights, accompanied by binge-watching TV shows until the wee hours of the morning. It seemed harmless, even a way to reward myself for a hard day’s work.
Then, something extraordinary happened. It dawned on me that I wasn’t just living for myself anymore. I had a precious daughter watching my every move, learning from my actions, and looking up to me as a role model. It was a pivotal moment that forced me to look closer at the example I was setting.
I realised that proper self-care goes far beyond a glass of wine or an evening of Netflix. It’s about nurturing our minds, bodies, and spirits for our well-being…and to inspire those around us. It’s about being the shining role model our loved ones, especially our children, can learn from and aspire to be.
Through this journey of self-discovery and transformation, I uncovered the immense power of self-care. It’s not a luxury; it’s a necessity, a fundamental act of love and kindness towards ourselves that ripples out to positively impact those we care about most.
As a result of working with many, many clients over the years using Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT), clinical hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, Neuro Linguistic Therapy (NLP), meditation, breathwork and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), I’m thrilled to share that my new online course is born from this journey—a program designed to guide you toward self-discovery and empowerment. It’s about finding your inner light and becoming the best version of yourself, not only for your sake but for everyone who looks up to you.
What could it be? Well, stay tuned, and you will find out!
