Tell us about yourself
I burnt out working in the National Health Service in the U.K.- I was a mental health social worker, which was very stressful with dwindling funding, psychiatric beds, and services for clients. I was eventually diagnosed with M.E. / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, which was very debilitating for 11 years. I discovered that I was weighed down with huge amounts of suppressed emotions in my body that were blocking my vitality. I was experiencing crippling physical and emotional pain, I felt trapped in a challenging marriage, and I had years of peri-menopausal symptoms. I felt totally lost and consumed by my negative toxic thoughts and wanted my life to end. Hypnotherapy was the start of my healing journey and the light that led me back to health and my true self and contentment!
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
To believe in myself and my abilities and to keep going until I started to attract my clients- the ones that were meant to be supported by me!
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Doing it on your own!
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Look at your mindset and reach out for support to transform it. Once you are in this space, everything flows.
- Do what you feel passionate about!
- Do business networking.
I set up my business on skill swops from photography to videos on my website, and I learned a lot from others and became confident in doing 20-minute talks at the meetings.
