      My Story

      The Long And Winding Road

      Where do I begin to share the story of who I am, how I got here, and why I do what I do? As a writer, intuitive reinvention guide, and coach, I’ve found my sanctuary in the tranquil hills of Spain, where I live with my three beloved rescue dogs. Here, in the heart of nature, I feel most at home, connected to my true self, and inspired to help others on their own journeys.

      Life has given me my share of crossroads—moments that felt like endings but became powerful new beginnings. Each time I faced a loss, illness, relationship breakdown, or relocation, I learned to let go of the past and embrace a new version of myself. Through these experiences, I discovered the power of reinvention, learning that each chapter is an invitation to rediscover who we are.

      My early years were marked by challenges: constant movement due to my father’s RAF career, a yearning for stability, and navigating difficult experiences, including my father’s struggle with alcoholism and abusive encounters that left lasting imprints. Yet these trials have become part of my transformation. Like the Phoenix rising from the ashes, I’ve emerged from each setback stronger, with greater clarity and compassion.

      The biggest lesson I’ve learned is how to love myself. It’s this self-love that has guided me to make better decisions and move forward in life with purpose. Writing became my lifeline, a way to make sense of my journey, release old patterns, and find peace within. Now, I’m passionate about sharing this gift with others, helping them unlock their inner wisdom and transform their stories into a source of purpose and inspiration.

      Today, I’ve found inner and outer peace, surrounded by nature, my furry family, and a life I’ve intentionally crafted. My rescue dogs, with their boundless love and loyalty, have been part of my healing and joy. My journey continues, and each step fuels my commitment to guide others—particularly women at life’s crossroads—to rediscover themselves and embrace the life they truly desire.
