trained in TA psychotherapy.<br />

Although I would not wish the<br />

experience of severe anxiety<br />

and depression on my worst<br />

enemy, it has impacted my<br />

life in a positive way and got<br />

me to where I am now! I<br />

work for myself, I love doing<br />

what I do and I also have a<br />

fantastic five year old little girl<br />

and love being a mum! (Most<br />

of the time)<br />

I believe the key to success in<br />

running any business is work<br />

life balance, and a healthy<br />

mind (hence the name of my<br />

business) as without this, life<br />

gets in the way of your motivation,<br />

determination and hence your<br />

success! I get involved in as many<br />

networking opportunities that I can<br />

and try to surround myself with like<br />

minded people as this always helps! I<br />

think it’s also vital that we also<br />

understand our motives for anything<br />

that we do, why we want to do it, in<br />

order for it to work and so I suppose<br />

being in therapy as a trainee<br />

therapist for over four years has also<br />

helped a lot!<br />

This is also the vision and passion<br />

behind Healthy Minds and Creating<br />

Change, as I believe that self esteem<br />

and self awareness are a huge part of<br />

our success in life not to mention<br />

comfort and stability on our personal<br />

lives too, and so the younger we can<br />

catch our children and develop these<br />

areas, the better their lives will be. If<br />

I had my way it would be a much<br />

bigger part of the school curriculum<br />

than it is currently and we would see<br />

much more prevention rather than<br />

cure and a lot less adults suffering<br />

with things like anxiety and<br />

depression.<br />

I think my daughter Maia will follow<br />

in my footsteps as she has a great<br />

sense of self and has already started<br />

her own little business at the age of<br />

five.<br />
