MY STORY
Like you, I have gone through many different experiences that have made me the person I am today.
It is through these experiences, my years of social work experience and learning to deeply understand the connection between our thoughts, our language and our behaviours that has led me to guiding others on a path of self-discovery, empowerment and acceptance.
When I fell pregnant with Willow I remember feeling elated; she was born the most placid baby and she was incredibly kind to Gene and I as we co-existed and navigated our way through this new chapter of parenthood.
Our communication was on point, something that has always been a strength in our relationship. We agreed that we would keep each other in the loop rather than make each other guess. Who has the capacity for guessing games when you’re sleep deprived, right? The first five months of parenthood were bliss and I was grateful to have “avoided” the baby blues that everyone warned me about.
However this blissful calm started to fade and a feeling of loss, loss of independence and loss of ME started to creep in. My period arrived three months postpartum and my abundant milk supply was no longer, my hormones were flying in different directions, and to top it off Melbourne went into lockdown.
Tension was building in my relationship with Gene as I struggled to articulate my thoughts and feelings, needs and wants and I was feeling numb on occasions that would usually bring me joy. My brain was foggy. I felt stuck and my self-worth was low.
Months went by and I finally agreed to see a Psychologist.
I will share with you the words I journaled after my first counselling session; this was a profound moment for me:
One of the questions she asked me was ‘Who are you as a Mum? ’. I literally fell silent and could not find the words. After a few silent moments and tears gently falling down my cheeks my response was ‘I know who I was’.
It was in that moment that I realised I was going through a “transformative phase” making sense of my new role as a mother, finding my new identity and redefining my purpose as LISA; a mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister, a friend and a passionate cheerleader and soul sister to many others.
Once I accepted this, I learnt how to turn my fear and brain fog into excitement and clarity; and this is exactly what I now help others to do. Feeling stuck and out of alignment is incredibly unsettling and there is immense power in firstly acknowledging it and then taking action to seek the right guidance and support.
I can confidently say I have found my purpose; helping women and couples embrace this “transformational phase”.
Integrating a beautiful mix of coaching, counselling, hypnotherapy and mindset work I will guide you through a process of deep self-discovery, empowerment and acceptance.
I will help you move from feeling stuck, foggy, unmotivated or stagnant, to feeling empowered with clarity and confidence so that you can embrace your inner sparkle.
Your inner sparkle is your drive, your purpose, your intuition, the fuel to your fire.
When you know how to tap into and embrace your inner sparkle, amazing things happen, trust me!
