Welcome to my Blog!
After a long time talking and thinking about this it’s finally here and I could not be more excited! There’s lots planned and lots to come here. It’ll have my stories, research and advice as well as others. There will be guest features from others in this field who are here to help you.
I talk a lot about community, village, support and here you’ll see that too. Why? Because it’s what I needed and suspect so many of you need too. This journey, whatever stage you are at, is tricky to say the least. Do you prefer to do it alone, to keep your story to yourself? That’s ok but it’s a fine line between that and feeling lonely. Feeling lonely is one of the worst feelings and once you’re in it, it can feel like a mountain to get out.
Well, that’s where I come in!! I’m here to help with that. I’ll gently guide you out of that and back to the person you really are, not the one this journey has made of you.
I’m here to support you, and recognise you need the support of other specialists too. Sometimes them and not me in some ways.
These blog pages will be about the effects of the journey, not the individual stages. You are all at a different place but the emotions are so raw and similar for each. We’ll focus on those pieces of the puzzle. I’ll give you practical and useful guidance on how to move forward and be the person you want to be, for you and those around you. You matter, You are important. When you are in that comfortable place, so many other things will slot right in.
I won’t suggest doing things that are unmanageable or make you feel even more overwhelmed. Time is precious, finances are short and with all the will in the world we need to be realistic.. and I PROMISE to be that for you.
I will be your sounding board, your support and part of your community. If we were to work together you’d get this over and over. When I say I’m here for you, I really mean it. Why? Because I remember what it felt like to be where you are.
Hop over to My Story to find out more about my journey. It was colourful and included; medical induced infertility, IVF, a challenging pregnancy, birth trauma, SCBU, intensive care, divorce.. the last 6 in the space of 3 years! It was an interesting to say the least! It’s cheesy to say it made me stronger so I won’t. In truth, it didn’t make me stronger but it made me know and understand a lot of other things and that has been priceless.
As a result of my journey I had a vision, a real need to help others going through it. I had to. Finally I’d found my spot! I retrained as a Fertility Coach, then a Pregnancy & Postnatal Coach. To supplement that training I trained in other things; NLP, Hypnosis, EFT and more.. all while holding down a corporate job as a single mama of a 2 year old mid Covid. It’s a period I won’t forget for a long time. It was also amazing as it taught me so much that I can teach you.
I use what I learnt every day on myself, that’s how I know it works. I’ve seen the change in other people, that’s how I know it works.
I’ve seen my clients light up for the first time in months when they realise the change in them, that’s how I know it works.
I’ve heard how their partners/friends have commented on how much better they are, that’s how I know it works.
This is why I do it.
So, hop on for the ride, join the community, reach out before you need it and as you need it. It’ll be an adventure. I can’t promise it will all be serious, I can’t promise it’ll all be laughs – what I can promise is you will never be alone.
We will get through this together, I’m here for you.
