Before I discovered this, life felt to be an uphill struggle, but there was something whispering inside me saying that it could be different, and guiding me not to give up. At first I didn't know what this whispering was - but the stronger it got the more I was motivated to listen to it. I discovered it was my heart...my wise, loving, gentle heart. My deep, peaceful, powerful heart. 

Once I was aware of this my life started to change.

I was guided, I was healed, I was empowered and I was inspired in ways that nothing else I had done in all my travels, training and therapy had offered me. It was a radical shift and it was something I could repeat and rely on because it came from inside me.

These are the ways it turned my life around...it showed me...

​

• that I'd forgotten who I really am, then it showed me how to rediscover my authentic self

​​

• how I'd been creating stress with my desperate focus on fixing problems and it showed me how to access the answers that are already here now, inside me

​​

• how I was leaking energy into the world around me which meant I was empty inside and felt I could crumble at any moment. Then it guided me to manage my energy so I feel strong, clear and resilient

​​

• how I was triggered by people and situations and living in a defensive mode, then it showed me how to function from a calm, more open place where I could respond to people and situations

​​

• that the feelings of being lost, adrift, and as if I was bouncing from one calamity to another could change. Then it brought me home to a sense of purpose, peace and certainty that I was in command of my life​​

​​​

• I was making myself ill by running on fear and dread and it brought me back to genuine wellbeing and underlying confidence that all is well

​​

• the drive to survive through willpower and pushing myself was leading to exhaustion and burnout and it guided me to live in a relaxed, flowing, trusting way that helped me feel alive, strong and self-assured​​

​​

• my belief I was incapable and inadequate was not true and it helped me build self-assured confidence and activate empowering inner resources and strengths I could rely on

​​

• that self-doubt, self-judgment and self-criticism were not helpful and it turned these around into self-love, self-compassion and self-care

​

Sometimes the above challenges can still hook me in - but not for long. Because I know that I have this peaceful power inside that will carry me through to a place of ease, resourcefulness, creativity and inner wisdom. 

​

Of course all this didn't happen overnight. There were twists and turns that took me through divorce from my second husband, other relationship troubles and chronic illness. These life events were all like crucibles in which I learnt to drop deeper, and deeper still, into my heart...and experience the transformation that brought.  
 

The learning and changes weren't all about my personal life. I also saw really wonderful shifts in my work with counselling and life coaching clients.

 

It started gradually. At first, I explored the difference it made when I listened to my clients from my heart, rather from mind. And wow...that in itself was a big thing. There was a deeper connection, more clarity, insight and compassionate understanding available in me.

 

Then I started to guide my clients to drop down into their own hearts and explore their issues from there. That is when things really started to change in a way that has utterly transformed my work. I saw how clients moved through change more swiftly with much more ease and less struggle, as if they were being carried forward. This was around 20 years ago and ever since I have studied the ways and workings of the heart in intimate depth. I have immersed myself in this, breathed it in and let it teach me and carry me forward too.

 

The result is a way of sharing this with you which means that you don't have to go through the twists and turns that I did. You can open up to the power of your own heart to guide, heal, empower and inspire you. You can start to fall in love with your life and live from your peaceful inner power that is here...inside you...now.
