Hi, I'm Mandy

​

I didn't really go looking for this work. In many ways, it came looking for me.

​

My own journey began with silent retreats, yoga and meditation. I got so much from them that I eventually trained as a mindfulness coach, and from there my work grew — first teaching meditation and stress reduction, and eventually working with people one-to-one.

​

Alongside all of that, I've been on my own healing journey — finding my way back home to myself.

And I still am.

​

I get how hard it is to face the past. To admit that you're scared or confused. To acknowledge the rage, resentment, grief and all the other stuff we'd much rather ignore, push down or pretend isn't there.

I get it.

​

But here's something I know from personal experience: those old wounds, that fearful voice, that scream you've stuffed so far down you can feel it stuck in your throat and chest? - they're not going away by themselves.

You can't pretend, ignore or escape your way out of this stuff in a healthy way.

Believe me, I've tried!

​

I know how scary and lonely it feels when you finally do start turning towards the wounds, the unseen, the bits you wish weren't there.

 I've spent plenty of time on my own journey feeling lost, dazed and confused, wishing there was someone beside me to help me make sense of where I was.

That's one of the reasons I do this work.

Because having someone beside you while you find your way through can make all the difference.

​

I sometimes think of my role as being a bit like a lighthouse. I'm not here to steer your boat or tell you where you need to go. I'm simply here to shine a little light while you find your own way home.

I'm here to walk alongside you for a while — while you uncover what's keeping you stuck, tend to what needs tending, and find your own way -

Back home - to yourself.
