About Me
My professional coach training includes:
I understand the struggle of turning to food as a means of self-medication, using it to soothe and numb emotions while witnessing my body expand uncontrollably. I am also familiar with the cycle of abusing various other substances in an attempt to quiet the relentless chatter of an overactive mind, seeking refuge from incessant rumination. I have experienced the depths of depression, where the mere thought of getting out of bed in the morning felt insurmountable. I've grappled with anxiety and self-loathing, questioning how anyone could possibly love me when I perceived myself as utterly worthless. And now, I've tasted the sweetness of peace of mind and have cultivated a newfound sense of self-respect. And, this isn't just a fleeting experience; it has become a frequent companion in my life. My passion as a transformative coach lies in guiding others towards their innate essence and liberation from entrenched habits and suffering. Through collaborative exploration, I assist clients in unraveling the simple misunderstandings of life, illuminating the true source of our mental struggles, and revealing the fundamental workings of the human psyche. This profound understanding transcends the need for techniques or strategies, offering instead a transformative insight into one's true nature and the essence of life itself. Once there is a deep resonance with this insight, unwanted habits melt away naturally without force or willpower. Don't take my word for it, though. Try it on for yourself.
