My Story
Hi I’m Linda and you have probably found my page because you are feeling stuck, out of balance, overwhelmed. I am here to help you feel seen, heard and held, to teach you skills that can get you back in balance, back to feeling you again.
I found mindfulness in 2009 when I was living out in Thailand for 3 years teaching English in the refugee community, I worked with adults and orphaned children who had lost everything and saw how their daily meditation practice bought them inner peace, hope, even joy in the midst of it all.
At that point in my life I smoked and I drank every evening, I was in my 20s loving my work, serving others connecting with humans at a deeper level has always been my WHY.
I spent 10 years living abroad, helping humans whilst exploring the World (and escaping the wounds of my past traumas along the way). I loved my work, the people I met, the cultures and places I saw but still did not feel the peace and balance in myself I longed to feel. In 2014, I returned to the UK as my young active, mum suffered a severe stroke which left her needing to learn to walk and talk again, it was time to serve my family and revisit my past. Whilst caring for my mum, I met my husband Stuart, I started to feel safe, to make roots, I started to feel, I started to heal.
I have spent much of the last 10 years training first to teach mindfulness at post graduate level to raise self-awareness, self-acceptance and presence and to complete further training to become a Clinical Hypnotherapist and NLP practitioner, helping me to release old patterns, relearn new ones and rewire my mind.
I no longer smoke or drink any alcohol, I have made much peace with my past (this is an ongoing process), I used hypnobirthing to naturally birth my daughter and can proudly say I am breaking a longstanding cycle in the way I raise her. I feel safe and content nowadays and my purpose on this planet is to help you to feel the same. To let go of unhealthy thought patterns, habits and coping strategies, to be safe enough to feel, to heal and to share that healing path with your loved ones and your children. I want you to guide you in stepping into your truth and being the happiest most authentic version of yourself….as we all deserve.
The biggest step can be reaching out for help, message me to book a free 15-minute call to chat through the changes you want to make and check I feel like the right person to help you, no judgement, no obligations.
In loving service to growth, yours and my own
