NOT my car (unfortunately)...

but note the dancer's stance!!

I started life as a ballet dancer, teacher, tutor and later an RAD Examiner. Training and working in London, often working 7 days per week. For many many years, I understood this to be my identity. The real me, living my life.

BUT...I was ill. A lot. I suffered with depression, and a severe eating disorder for many years. I couldn't understand it...surely I had everything going for me, yet I wasn't getting any better.

It was only when I started the long haul of truly "working on myself" (eeek!) and being 100% honest with myself that I realised things needed some pretty major adjusting.

Cut to a little further down the line, and I am still a work in progress, as I believe we all are in some way. The journey has been tough with a capital 'T' and have had some VERY low points. I will be forever grateful for the support I received during these times, and for the belief others had in me when I couldn't see it for myself.

And now here I am...grateful again that I can now offer my services as a Life Coach and Psychotherapist in training in order to help others.

I still have a passion for dance and can help those who are struggling with transitions, injury, feelings of not being good enough, disordered eating / eating disorders.

Everyone has their own story, and each life deserves the best chance it can get.

It all starts with the first step...
