MY STORY
Why I'm qualified to talk to you about confidence...
I know how it feels to suffer with crippling low confidence.
I was very shy in medical school and throughout my career. I didn't want anyone to look at me or speak to me...I just wanted to hide. Yet, I knew I had so much to offer, and this was holding me back.
All that changed when I started working on myself when training in hypnotherapy and EFT. I became my first project.
Through my techniques, I was able to unleash a newfound confidence and self-belief that had been dormant for so many years.
As I tapped into this reservoir of inner strength, my experience of life, my happiness, my fulfilment - EVERYTHING - changed.
It was transformative for me, as it will be for you. Since then I have helped 100’s of women gain confidence and freedom in many areas of their lives.

My journey to here.
I first became interested in the mind-body connection and alternative approaches to healing when working for a Reiki master.
In a later job, I was dealing with patients with a lot of emotional and psychological issues, and chronic pain...
I wanted to understand this powerful connection between mind and body, so I went on to train in Psychotherapy including Hypnotherapy and EFT.
I became more fascinated by the subconscious and how our emotions affect us physically, and became disillusioned with the Western approach to medicine. I knew had so much more to offer privately than through the NHS, and so my practice was born.
Now I combine my medical background - including hypnotherapy and EFT - with personal coaching and mentoring to effect powerful transformation for my clients.

A little about me behind the scenes...
I grew up surrounded by music and art, and they form an important part of who I am.
18-months after starting work as a doctor, I realised I didn’t want to do that for the rest of my life, so I took a sabbatical and did a full-time dance course to qualify as a classical ballet teacher.
In recent years I've been part of a ballroom and latin dance school and regularly competed at Blackpool, and I've played the violin in the amateur orchestra, The Basingstoke Symphony Orchestra.
A few years prior to lockdown I also decided to take singing lessons. I've now passed my Grade 8 and am working towards my Performers Diploma, singing with several choirs including performing in Sherborne Abbey.
