How did you get your start in the coaching industry?

I have been a Psychotherapist for 40 years and took a Calling in The One coaching program for myself At age 58, I fell in true love, and my eyes were opened to the amazing transformative benefits of coaching! That year I trained to be a Calling in The One and One after a Conscious Uncoupling Coach and have been offering since 2017 I love every minute of it because I see people change and flourish before my eyes every day

What is the benefit of having a love and relationship coach?

Many of us are unconscious of our limiting beliefs, thoughts, and behaviors, preventing us from realizing true love Some of us even believe it’s impossible for us Last year, I had a part in bringing about three marriages, three new solid relationships, and even a new baby Many other women are on their journey as a consequence of this work, first calling in themselves through learning how to honor their own feelings and needs, ambitions, and desires, then calling in much better-quality dates My clients find themselves choosing their partner rather than chasing after them and waiting to be chosen. I see that they often try to fit into relationships that are far too small for them They are swimming in the shallows with the minnows when they should be swimming in the deep with the whales It is wonderful to see women grow into their rightful stature and meet men who are their true equals

What advice would you give someone looking to create positive relationships with others but who has difficulty building trust?

This is a big question Firstly, I would suggest creating a really strong intention filled with gratitude, as if true love has already been manifested Live and vision into that, creating a meditation for yourself around all that is happening in that vision. Write down all you are seeing and feeling, who you are being From there, you will feel the contrast between that image and how you feel now as you experience a lack of trust This image is who you would’ve been had you not had challenging experiences that have made you self-protective Many of these are not even conscious and may well be seriously entrenched, going right back to blueprints created in childhood

I would suggest reading Calling In The One by Katherine Woodward Thomas and getting coaching to help you feel secure enough to let go of those protective behaviors and develop new skills and ways of being to create emotional safety for yourself before you enter into a new relationship When we are in those protective places, we are in an arrested stage of development, so we are likely to act from a more childlike place and give our power away. We will likely enable partners to be parental towards us, even have power over us This will likely be repellent to somebody healthy, so they won’t want to be in a relationship with you The work of coaching is to bring you to your adult self so that you can look after your child self and enter into a relationship in a more grown-up way When you are more integrated yourself, you ’ re much more likely to choose someone to share your life with who is healthier and more attractive to you on every level

What can women expect when booking their consultation? Can you share a little about the intake process?

We have an initial half-hour conversation on Zoom to begin with so that you can ask any questions about the process and we can get to know each other It is a little bit like a first date We need to see if we are a good fit to work together

You need to feel you can trust me enough to work with me; that happens best through seeing each other and talking. We can go forwards from that point You may go away and think about it, or you can choose to sign up right there and then

We use the book Calling In The One as a workbook to accompany the coaching You will read and do the journalling, and I will coach you each step of the way

What do you hope women specifically take away from your platform?

The ability to create committed and lasting true love relationships

What is next for you? What can your supporters expect from you next?

I am extending my podcast and live talks on all aspects of relationships I am entering into a partnership with colleagues from across the world to create a resource called Evolutionary Relationships We will offer courses to address releasing yourself from a toxic relationship and how to create and maintain a healthy one

I am leading two groups on Facebook, Calling In The One, an official coach-led group for Europe and Beyond, and a similar one for Conscious Uncoupling You are welcome to friend me on Facebook and direct message me should you wish

What is your definition of a Pretty Woman Who Hustles?

Shes a very switched-on woman who knows what she wants in life and has her heart set on getting it. She is willing to put in the hours and to think outside the mainstream Shes likely an innovator and that sometimes means she feels she doesnt belong She is absolutely ahead of the curve She is somebody who reflects and creates, likely has a strong spiritual path and a generous heart, and wants to make a unique contribution to the world with her natural gifts and make a comfortable living, giving her freedom of choice and personal power
