ABOUT

my story

At 13, I was diagnosed with an incurable illness that curtailed life as I knew it. I went from living a highly academic and sporty lifestyle to being pulled out of school and frequently visiting hospitals. Despite being diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease, I was determined to rebuild and redefine my health, both physically and mentally. 

To me, health represents so much more than our physicality, it’s also about our mentality; how we think and feel about ourselves. By reshaping my thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, I began to experience a profound change in the relationship I had with myself and the disease. When I started defying medical expectations, I realised the incredible power of the mind-body connection, sparking my fascination with neuroscience and positive psychology, leading me to explore the world of Neuro Linguistic Programming.

Taking this darkness and turning it into light, I aspire to help others overcome life’s challenges and achieve mental resilience, just as I once did. This personal experience, coupled with intensive clinical training under Dr. Phil Parker at both Diploma and Advanced Masters levels, has equipped me with the tools and techniques to help you become the most physically and mentally first-rate version of yourself.

Just as you’d lift weights in the gym to build muscle and increase strength, I will support you in building and strengthening your mental muscles; improving mood, focus, and overall wellbeing.

Today, I am a fully qualified Advanced Masters Practitioner in Neuro Linguistic Programming, Clinical Hypnotherapy, and Coaching; supporting you to navigate modern life.

To transform our culture by normalising and making mental health an aspirational part of life, much in the same way we typically regard our physical health.

my mission

what is nlp?

The practice of NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) was developed in the 1970’s by a group of psychologists, combining the most beneficial principles of neuroscience, coaching and hypnotherapy. It helps people to understand how to organise their thoughts, feelings, language and behaviours, and looks at the science behind how our body affects our mind and how our mind affects our body.

Much of NLP works by changing our thinking processes at a subconscious level, altering the way our brain remembers and stores information, which in turn affects how we feel and behave. Your subconscious mind is your wise supportive ally and by communicating with it by way of hypnosis, we can understand how we can move towards you accessing your happiest self.

Unlike other certain therapies, NLP focuses on the future rather than the past. It looks at how to change, rather than why we feel or act the way we do.

NLP provides the tools and techniques to start thinking, feeling and acting in the way we want straight away, whether that be at home, in work or out and about, change will come about very quickly.

“In the gym, the weight doesn't get easier to lift; you get stronger. In life, events don’t become easier to handle; you become better equipped to handle them.”
