Sometimes life gets loud
Something has changed. Or something that used to fit doesn't any more.
Maybe a relationship has ended, work has stopped making sense, or you've spent so long keeping everything going that you've lost track of what you actually want.
There's advice everywhere, from friends, family and the internet. Somehow it all makes it harder to hear yourself.
Sometimes you have people around you, but nobody you can really say this to. Here, you don't need to perform your life.
"Maybe you don't need another answer. Maybe you need enough quiet to hear what you already know."
The listening came first
For more than ten years I ran my own salon, and people trusted me with far more than their hair. I saw people marry, divorce, change jobs, lose people and start again.
Eventually I realised that if people were going to trust me with those parts of themselves, I wanted to know how to support them properly. I didn't want to tell anyone what I'd do in their shoes. I wanted to listen well, ask better questions and have useful tools to draw on. That's what led me to train.

The caring and listening came first. The qualifications came because I wanted to be better equipped for the responsibility people were already trusting me with.
I don't pretend to have all the answers. I'm honest, I'm genuine and I tend to wear my heart where you can see it.
