In 2001 I made a decision to change my life, to find a new path because the one I’d been on up until that point was destroying me, mind, body and spirit. Addiction had taken over my life and the person I’d become was definitely not the person I wanted to be. For the previous 11years I’d filled my body with chemicals in the hope that it would help me to just be ok with me so I could deal with life.

Fast forward a few years and my life from the outside looked good, I’d “got it together”. I had a 10 year career in the charity sector managing support services to help vulnerable people, had a great social life, a lovely home yet I still felt pretty rubbish a lot of the time. Tired, fatigued, poor immune system, low moods, mild anxiety, digestive issues, I was still not living life the way I truly wanted to live it. I felt trapped by poor energy levels and low moods, guilty for not being able to give my all in life and frustrated that no doctors could tell me what was wrong. At the age of 37 I decided simply that things weren’t right and there had to be another way.

So I dedicated my time over the course of a few years to getting curious and finding a way to improve my energy levels. It wasn’t an intentioned journey it was a path I was on without being aware of where I was going. The Universe placed opportunities and people in my path who were there to teach me and guide me to find the healing of mind, body and spirit I needed.

What I now know is the years of not taking care of my body together with years of working in high pressure, emotionally charged environments had taken a toll and I needed to nourish myself daily in order to truly fix things and heal.

I’ve realised that energy is everything in life, when we have it we can achieve our dreams without out it even beginning to dream is hard. So having found what works for me and become a certified integrative health coach through The Institute of Integrative Nutrition I’m now on a mission to share my learning with others. To share the message that we don’t need to settle when it comes to our health and happiness, to help others heal and unlock the energy they need to live life their way too.
