Life is a journey!
I have such a beautiful family who I love with all my heart and am incredibly proud of.
But it didn’t ‘just happen’.
For children to have the right software installed to thrive in life they need at least one parent who is nurturing and physically available and attentive to all their needs. Attending to their physical, mental, emotional, relational and spiritual needs.
My Mum was (and is) kind, nurturing, consistent, and always there for me as a child. I now know how essential that was for setting me up for life - and I am now aware how very rare that is!
My husband and I intentionally made choices so I could prioritise our two children, to be available and attentive to them. We created time for me to pour love and attention into our children.
I loved (and love) being a Mum - it was and is the most treasured and rewarding job in my life.
Was I a perfect Mum - no!
Did I protect my children from pain and distress - no!
Did things go wrong - yes!
Did things go terribly wrong - yes!
I (like us all) had unhealthy beliefs about relationships and family systems that meant things went wrong. I didn’t have strong boundaries. I thought being compliant and not rocking the boat was the ‘right’ way to do life. But it meant that I did not protect my children as a Mumma Bear should. I had a warm heart and a soft front, but not a strong back. I did not stand up or speak up!
Life is a journey!
Through reading, training, studying, learning, growing, journeying with many people, examining my life, reflecting on life, experience - I NOW KNOW so much about healthy wellbeing and healthy relationships. I NOW KNOW the huge impact our childhood has on our everyday lives.
I had 80% of the right software installed inside of me but I had beliefs and experiences that weren’t right and were holding me back.
My husband only had 10% of the right software running him. He was a good man with such a good heart but so much ‘stuff’. He was a broken man.
Life is a journey!
We searched and searched for answers and healing! It took until our 50’s to find what was needed.
The process I now use with my clients completely changed my husband’s life, it changed my life and it changed our marriage and our family. It changed where we lived and what we did, it changed our lifestyle. It changed absolutely everything.
I was completely blown away - so much so that I spent 1-2 years writing a book about the transformation called “I Got a New Husband in Three Weeks” (yet to be published).
Life is a journey!
The very solution we desperately needed is what I offer my clients.
And I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!
We all have our own unique stories but the impact on the human heart and soul (and body) is often the same. It shows up in so many ways we normalise - insecurity, lack of motivation, fear, stress, unhealthy relationships, depression, anxiety, physical illnesses etc.
BUT IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY!!
If our story touches you, and you’re ready for that kind of transformation too - message me.
