You learn the hardest, most valuable, life changing lessons at your lowest points
Sometimes life places you in situations where you have two options: sink or swim.
I was sinking fast in the depths of my own despair, I hit rock bottom. Not sleeping, not wanting to socialise or speak to anybody, crying on my way to work, even eating one slice of pizza was a struggle. Looking back I was severely depressed and very anxious.
I was in this place due to a string of failed and toxic relationships which had got into all because I had a desperate need to be loved and validated by somebody. I had so much love from my close family and yet I needed it from a boyfriend, a man.
I decided to move out of home and go and live with random people to be alone from my family because I knew they felt helpless about my situation. Living alone gave me the space to question what I really wanted from my life.
I had some major realizations
I was tired of working myself into the ground, having no boundaries or deep meaningful connections with friends, zero love for my body and people pleasing burning myself out in the process.
I started to think about what I really wanted to manifest in my life, focusing on all of the good things that I had at that very moment, becoming obsessed with writing ten reasons why I was grateful per day and manifesting my desires (I still do this now).
Living life more day to day and with greater purpose towards what I wanted, not anybody else, ME.
I gradually started to love more parts of myself, be healthier, make deeper connections with people and started dating again which really built up my confidence again.
The day I met the love of my life
Four months later, I was invited to a wedding in Aix-en-Provence and it was there that I met a sexy French guy. I found my person, my best friend, my soul partner and I moved to the French Riviera just over a year later, to a place I had never heard of before Menton. We were married two years after that and moved to Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, next to Monaco.

My husband was a perfect manifestation of what I desired from a man. When I look back at the list I made of what I wanted from my future partner four months before we met, it was him to a tee.
The moment I realised I couldn't get pregnant
We decided we wanted to add a little baby to our family, however after a decade on the pill, my period didn't come back, I wasn't ovulating and I was diagnosed with PCOS, which made falling pregnant really difficult for me.
Something to me didn't seem right and I knew that I had the power within me to get pregnant.
My spiritual awakening
I felt the urge to look at every single part of my life and that's when I discovered this whole other world of feminine/masculine energy, intuition, speaking my truth, limiting beliefs, pleasure, spiritual practices, crystals, abundance and the magic of menstrual cycle working with the moon's cycle - my mind was blown.
I invested in a women's group coaching container called Queen Alchemy with life coach, Monica Yates.
During this container I fell pregnant - with the help of my gynecologist and by doing the energy release work (somatic healing) needed to align myself in falling pregnant.
Becoming a life coach
During the container, Monica launched a coaching certification so I could learn how to be a life coach using all of these amazing healing tools and modalities so I took the leap and I did it. I was a high school teacher at this point and after ten years in the profession, I was looking for a change in career and life coaching became my passion.
I started the certification during my pregnancy in April 2020 and became certified in July 2021.
I am now a transformational life coach helping women to connect to their soul and to strive to be the best version of themselves. It was the best decision I have ever made, I love working with my clients and we do the most amazing work together. I'm grateful everyday for taking the leap and starting my own business - its not been without its challenges AND that's why I am here on this earth, to experience it all.
