My Journey
Many years ago, I started working with a Psychotherapist, Helen to help me heal from chronic anxiety and a deep sense of disconnection. As long as I can remember I have been somewhat anxious, deeply sensitive and empathic towards people and the world around me. I believed my coping mechanisms were strong... until they weren’t. The ways I had learned to adapt and “get through” life began to fall apart, and I found myself exhausted, disconnected from who I was.
It was Helen who introduced me to the concept of Awareness, or Mindfulness as it is often called, and this was a pivotal turning point for me. I still remember the first time I experienced the power of stillness, and how profoundly life changing it felt to feel safe and still in a body I had constantly tried to escape from.
This led me to immerse myself into years of studying and training, firstly in Mindfulness and Coaching, and then into healing modalities of Somatic work, Trauma informed Mindfulness, Sound and Energy related therapies and Breathwork. Through Helen’s unwavering support and insight, I embarked on what I now know is a life-long journey of learning and unlearning, the many different ways I had adapted my Self to live in a world that often felt too much. Over time and dedication, I experienced what it felt like to truly belong, and build a home within.
I am immensely grateful for this work, which I don’t consider work at all, but rather an invitation to be of service to individuals and communities journeying on a similar path….returning Home.
My Training & Approach
I’m an ACC Certified Coach with the International Coaching Federation (ICF). My trainings include an in depth 2 year certification in Mindfulness & Meditation (MMTCP), Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Polyvagal Theory, Energy/Sound Healing and Breathwork. I am also trained in Suicide Awareness, which allows me to hold space safely and sensitively for those navigating deeper emotional challenges.
Alongside my formal training, I have been profoundly blessed to walk a decade-long journey, being mentored, and later working alongside my Psychotherapist and Mindfulness Teacher Helen Williams, Owner of Mindful ME in Dubai. With over fifty years of experience, she has been a constant source of wisdom and light.
Beyond all, Life itself remains the most profound teacher, and I, a forever student.
My intention is always to gently, yet intentionally support others on their own journey towards deeper self-awareness, offering tools and practices grounded in both science and ancient wisdom. I trust in the subtle power of presence as a pathway to healing in so many intricate ways, and ultimately to living life embodied and wholeheartedly.
My Work
It is a privilege to support a diverse range of individuals through this work. Some days begin with tea and quiet reflection with a client in my home office; others unfold through deep conversations online with people from across the world. My clients range in age from 6 to 78 years old and come from many diverse backgrounds. Having lived most of my life in the UAE, I hold deep gratitude for the cultural mosaic that continues to shape and inspire my offerings.
