My many passions mainly centre around supporting highly sensitive creatives, wellbeing practitioners and carers to feel more confident and clear about their purpose.
Restore Balance ethos: I believe in ensuring that people who feel let down, abandoned or misunderstood by our outdated systems find their voice through fully connecting with how their body and mind works, so they know with confidence how to treat any imbalances.
I teach, mentor and coach the exact methods I’ve used for other 30 years to:
- Clear anxiety and stuck emotions,
- Overcome eating disorder, body dysmorphia and digestion issue,
- Stabilise hyper-mobility,
- Deal with grief and anger healthily,
- Feel secure in following my heart and purpose in the work I do,
- Overcome adenomyosis pain,
- Feel safe in myself and my place in the world.
I’ve found that children who don’t know how they learn best or feel safe to advocate for their needs become insecure, anxious teens who feel abandoned, then adults who carry these feelings of ‘not good enough’ and ‘not worthy of care and nurturing’.
My book, ‘Jack in Dreamschool‘, is my personal account of supporting two neurodivergent sons through traumatic experiences within mainstream schooling. My passion for empowering vulnerable, misunderstood people started with my mum when I grew up watching her struggle, and has developed over the past couple of decades as I learned more and more about neurodiversity. Being the compassionate mum my sons needed, understanding that compassion is key to engendering authentic healing and positive change in the world, I’m an advocate for acceptance. Enabling highly sensitive people to find inner safety, security and steadiness has become a lifelong purpose.
I saw growing up that everyone has something they’re struggling with. That’s why TCM and Zen healing and coaching are invaluable. Because TCM positions you as the protagonist AND author of your healing journey, I quickly moved towards easily quieting anxious thoughts, clearing physical and emotional blocks (no more IBS!) and fulfilling the purpose I’d always known was meant for me in helping other people to feel happier, healthier and more relaxed.
I discovered my purpose many years ago – guiding people to heal themselves through mindful self care practices including qigong exercises, meditation, Tuina, Daoist breathing and acupressure massage, mindset work and creativity. Intuitive coaching supports you to manifest your happiest, healthiest, most relaxed life. I have 30 years experience and training in helping people find inner peace and regain their steadiness and sparkle.
Relaxed creative self-expression has enabled me to give a voice to the emotions I’ve found it hard to put into words. It’s helped me to process grief, anger, frustrations, and other conflicting emotions. More recently, through ceramics and mixed media painting, my work has embodied the mother/nature compassionate spirit. With pieces including Green Women, lots of leaves, and a celebration of the strength of the feminine.
For more than 15 years I’ve lived in Cambridgeshire with my husband, two boys, and dog, but I’ve lived in many parts of England and travelled all over the world.
My dream is to spread the Restore Balance radical compassion movement far and wide. It’s all about creating the change you want to see in the world. Healing starts with love, and grows with compassion. Starting with my ‘Short Course in Finding Happiness’, you can create a life where your high sensitivity and empathy are harnessed to create something magical in a world that needs balance. More info in the link above (Zen Healing with Compassionate Coaching).
You’ll find support for relaxation, anxiety, creativity, grief, depression, mindset, flexibility, menstrual issues, and lots more.
