"'Conscious Eating' is an ever growing program that I developed from my own experience of losing over 50lbs 4 years ago and keeping it off!
I believe that eating good organic natural food,
drinking spring water & daily yoga are key to my continuing
slimness, good health and wellbeing - as well as indulging in the the
occasional chocolate bar or plate of chips! after all, depriving
ourselves of our favorite things is not 'self care'!
My purpose in life is
to work with people who want to take responsibility for their
happiness. This doesn't mean that life will be a permanent bed of roses
or that negative things won't happen, it means that by exploring and
understanding yourself you learn to deal with things differently and to
do that you learn to be who you truly are. My counselling and coaching
style and my retreats are based on this philosophy gained from personal
experience, both academic and experiential in the form of great
challenges and triumphs.
I've not always believed the way I now do now, in fact
my previous 16 year career as a U.K. Police Officer was a far cry from
who I am today. And it is my experience through the transition that
leads me to know that we are responsible for our own happiness. Because
no matter what happens in our lives it is our response to it that
ultimately decides on our happiness. As Epicticus stated back in 500BC:
'It is not things that cause us problems but our thinking about
things'.
