He slammed me against the wall, his fingers crushing my windpipe. I could see the burst blood vessels in the corner of his eyes and smell his beer breath, ‘you b!t$h’. I tried to scream but I had no voice. I tried to break free but I had no power. I was lucky to survive that night.

When a friend confided in me that her boyfriend used to beat her up, I cried with her and opened up about my partner’s anger.

‘But he loves me,’ I said.

She shook her head, ‘If he loves you, he wouldn’t hurt you petal.’

My heart knew her words were true and with time I found the courage to leave him. Although divorce brought me freedom, I also carried deep shame, I felt like a failure. So I sought out experts in self-development and embarked on a journey of unlearning, trained in coaching, indigenous healing, meditations and energy fields. I integrated my human behaviour modelling and pattern recognition research into my coaching because what I loved most was helping people. I spent years learning to love and forgive myself.

It was pain-filled but undoubtedly worth it because now I am living my dream. Remarried with two beautiful children, I love helping women step into their power and claim their dreams back. Dream Catchers condenses all my learnings to help women find unshakable inner peace and purpose, without needing decades of struggle or huge investments of time and money.
